of a war crime already up in court. vadim shishimarin is a russian tank commander. he's on trial for shooting and killing a civilian. all the time, the widow of the man killed was just the other side of the glass. the soldier seemed nervous and said little, until the words that mattered... asked whether he admitted his guilt, vadim shishimarin told the judge, "yes, completely. " it was the very start of this war, as russian tanks rolled south through sumy. vadim shishimarin�*s unit came under attack then and was put into a retreat. in the chaos, he and four others ended up fleeing in a stolen car. kateryna described seeing the russians through her gate, but her husband was in the street. she laterfound his body lying here. the soldiers had seen him on his phone and

vadim shishimarin had killed him. alexander was 62. he was shot four times in the head. this was the first time his widow had seen the man responsible, so i asked how she coped. "i feel very sorry for him," kateryna told me, "but this crime, i can't forgive." ukraine knows most of those it accuses of war crimes may never be prosecuted, the suspects sheltered by russia. but this soldier surrendered, his only defence that he was following orders. those in moscow who sent him to this war have not even made contact with his lawyer. the prosecutor is asking for a life sentence, so i asked him how fair this trial could be. translation: we follow - all the laws and all the norms. the trial is open. if there was any violation by us, shishimarin could have said so. he has all the rights

accorded to him by ukrainian and international law. this trial is taking place extremely quickly and, of course, it's happening in the middle of a war, but everyone here knows that they're under scrutiny, they know they have to be transparent. and what ukraine says is that it's not looking for scapegoats. this is not a show trial. they want justice. sarah rainsford, bbc news, kyiv. there's been evidence of russian forces killing civilians throughout this war. more than 1,000 bodies have been found in areas near kyiv that were previously under russian control. our correspondent james waterhouse met someone who lost his family. with extraordinary composure and detail, ivan shows me what he's lost. translation: we found my mother dead on the fridge here. _ and then we kept searching. 200 metres away, he found his

brother next to his dog. then he found his grandmother, covered in bricks. then his one—year—old daughter on a sofa, still breathing. then his wife. then his father. translation: it was a horror. very scary and hard to understand. you hope that someone was still alive, hiding in a basement. all he's left with are memories and pictures. paulina died the same day. ivan lost six of his family. this is the police station where ivan was working when his home was hit. now, ivan isn't interested injustice. in his words, he wants the russians who carried out that attack to die inside ukraine, to send a message. but the police force he works for, says it is working towards holding

those russians to account. but that is a long way off, if it happens at all. james waterhouse there. ukrainian authorities are trying to hold russian soldiers to account for war crimes. they're being helped by international groups. the international criminal court has sent its biggest ever team to ukraine to investigate alleged war crimes there. so how can suspected war criminals be prosecuted? colm doyle, who was the head of the eu monitoring mission in bosnia and herzegovina, explains. well, i think one of the key lessons would be to ensure that whatever crimes are going to accuse these people of, that you have sufficient evidence to make sure it actually works. modern communication, in the form of satellite imagery, has much improved, and we can see in the killings that took place — or allegedly took place — in bucha, for instance,

this us satellite imagery company was able to prove that the bodies ever seen on the streets were there about seven days before the russian troops actually left. so i think there is an advantage in modern technology that might not have been there during the time of yugoslavia. but i think it is very important that when you pursue these people, you decide whether you're going to, for example, go for the soldiers who committed the atrocities, whether you go after their commanding officers or whether, in fact, you go after the political head who, in fact, is the president of russia, because it's his army and he sent them in. let's bring you up—to—date with some news just coming into us let's bring you up—to—date with some newsjust coming into us here. the us embassy has reopened in kyiv. this comes nearly three months after removing its diplomats and suspending working there, after warnings of russian�*s invasion of ukraine. this is the statement from secretary of state antony blinken. it reads that...

so that just so thatjust breaking, just in the last few moments. in other developments in ukraine, the battle for mariupol appears to be over. ukraine's southern port city had been under siege for months. it was the last city standing in the way between russia and crimea, which was annexed by russia in 2014. the last of ukraine's troops there had been defending the azovstal steel plant. and we know that most of them are leaving now, some on stretchers. we'll hear more about those soldiers in a moment. first, our ukraine correspodent, james waterhouse, explains why this moment matters. this is a big moment. mariupol, it is been strategically important for

russia. the priority for the ukrainians was kyiv, which was under attack. i don't think anyone expected mariupol to hold out for 84 days. nevertheless, the people in their have lasted this long, they here survived on ration packs, water, minimalsupplies, and all sanitation needs of each area shelters, now the question remains, what is going to happen to those people? so let's focus on what will happen to these soldiers from the avostal steelworks. russia says they have been taken to russian—controlled territory. here are some of them arriving on buses earlier this week. and we know most of them have been taken to this former prisoner camp in russian—held territory. lyse doucet explains what we know. the russians say that nearly 1,000 soldiers, members of the azov regiment, have now left the azov steelworks. they started leaving

when the ukrainian authorities announced, in their words, "the end of combat missions", the end of what has been one of the most brutal battles in this war. the russians, of course, announcing that they have surrendered. they have put out photographs showing some of the soldiers who were critically injured getting medical treatments now in russian hospitals. ukraine wants to exchange the soldiers for captured russian soldiers. russia hasn't agreed to that yet. and there are concerns about what will happen to them. russia's president putin said the soldiers would be treated "in line with the relevant international laws". but the speaker of russia's parliament said... ..adding... recall that russia claims — without any evidence — that ukraine is a nazi state. and this matters because the azov regiment — whose members are amongst those evacuated from mariupol —

is the most frequent target for russia's claim that it's fighting nazis. and on what russia's and there might be, here'sjohn simpson. i think what's really going to happen is that russia is going to see this as a real propaganda opportunity, to convince the outside world, actually, that ukraine itself as a nation, the government of ukraine and the armed forces of ukraine are essentially neo—nazis. as a direct consequence of russia's invasion of ukraine, finland and sweden have formally applied to join the nato military alliance. on wednesday, ambassadors from the two countries handed in their applications to nato secretary general jens stoltenberg. the applications you have made today are an historic step. allies will now consider the next steps on your path to nato. the security interests of all allies

have to be taken into account. and we are determined to work through all issues and reach rapid conclusions. let's take a look at which countries are in the alliance now. these are the current nato members. over the last 20 years, there's been an expansion eastwards. if sweden and finland join, there will be a nordic expansion too. for that to happen, all 30 existing members must say yes. but for now, one is saying no. it's turkey. sweden suspended weapons sales to turkey. and both sweden and finland have rejected turkey's requests to extradite kurdish militants, who turkey describes as terrorists. here's turkey's president erdogan expalining his concerns. here's turkey's president explaining his concerns. translation: we expect our allies i to understand our sensitivities, .

then show respect and ultimately support where possible. our sensitivities are to protect our borders against attacks by terrorist organisations. for years, we suffered greatly for this. we lost a lot. we paid a heavy price. and we're still paying. the latest actions of sweden — we asked them to return 30 terrorists, they said no. so you won't give us back terrorists, but you ask for nato membership? nato is a body for security. we cannot say yes to the security organisation being deprived of security. we have a special report from afghanistan, on the changing face under taliban rule. the ministry for preventing vice and promoting virtue has been behind a raft of new, hard—line laws, many targeting women. only recently, they announced the face veil will be compulsory in public.

the bbc�*s afghanistan correspondent secunder kermani has been given exclusive access to a team of "inspectors" from the ministry and sent us this report from the capital kabul. meet the inspectors of the ministry of vice and virtue. with branches across the country, they are remoulding afghanistan to fit in with the taliban's hardline beliefs. and how often do you do this in a week? every day. every day? we are following one team in the centre of kabul. first stop, a shopping centre. bystanders and shopkeepers are given a lecture on the importance of saying your prayers and growing a beard, though it's all framed as brotherly advice. "if you have any problems, we can help you," he tells them. you haven't been talking about women, about what they should

wear — that is what your ministry is most known for at the moment. translation: we have already given advice to the owner - of the shopping centre. and put up some posters, but we can't interact with individuals, for example, stopping a woman and asking her, why are you not wearing the correct hijab? my manners in religion do not permit me to do that. so if you see a woman here who has got her head covered, but not her face covered, you won't say anything to her? translation: we can - distinguish between a woman with hijab and without. if a woman is completely crossing the limits, without any modesty or veil, then we will try to find her male guardian. in such a conservative country, it's not clear which women he means. many already cover their faces. in cities like kabul, others simply cover their hair. this is how the taliban say they should all all be dressing now. what right does your ministry have to tell them how they should

practice their religion, how they should dress? translation: it is not. the decree of the ministry, it's the decree of god. the real cause of moral corruption is the face. if the face is not covered, then what is the point of hijab? the inspectors are on the move. next stop, a bus stop. their ministry has a fearsome reputation from their role during the taliban's previous regime, when offenders had been regularly beaten. but here, their focus is on ensuring men don't get too close to female passengers. certainly in front of us, these vice and virtue inspectors are behaving politely, gently, with the public. is that always the case when cameras are not around for teams right across the country?

local residents we spoke to off—camera had no complaints about these inspectors, but many worry the taliban are growing increasingly repressive. this woman is an activist who was on board a bus stopped by vice and virtue inspectors. translation: some women had their faces covered. - others like me were wearing black gowns and facemasks. i said to the inspector, "there is no—one without hijab here." he became very angry but wouldn't even look at me. he said, "you are very shameless women. "this is not the afghan republic. "now it is the islamic emirate. "you cannot do whatever you want any more." the taliban initially appeared more flexible than many expected, but they are becoming increasingly hardline. despite an economic crisis,

tightening social restrictions seems their priority. and the path ahead for the country is deeply uncertain. secunder kermani. secunder has been speaking to a young doctor about the plight of women under the taliban. i personally think that what these people are doing isn't sharia law, it isn't completely what islam looks like. and what a real islam looks like, because i'm working at some hospitals currently, at different hospitals here in kabul city, and one of my experiences have been, that they are... they told you off about your dress code, i believe. is that right? yeah, that's exactly right. they are just partitioning the women and men patients from the doctor. they aren't giving permission

to the male doctors, even if it's emergency case, to visit the female patients. and that's not right, that's not fair when you are very sick. you need the doctor even if if your doctor is male. now, this is a conservative country. there are many women who dress in accordance with how the taliban believe they should dress already, just because that's what theirfamilies believe in. tell me, do you think that women like yourselves have to pay a price of seeing your greater levels of social freedom restricted in order to get peace, in orderfor the taliban to lay down their weapons? i just think that we are all involved in this. it's not about the hijab, it's not about sharia. they are restricting a lot of things in the society. and it's not going to go on like this for long.

in the uk, the increase in the cost of living is accelerating, with officialfigures of living is accelerating, with official figures showing prices are now rising at their fastest rate for 40 years. inflationjumped now rising at their fastest rate for 40 years. inflation jumped to 9% now rising at their fastest rate for 40 years. inflationjumped to 9% in april, the increase was driven mostly by the cost of energy. petrol and diesel rose by 31%, a new record high of electricity bills jumped by 46% and gas billsjumped by 96%. the impact of rising prices is being felt by some more than others. jack leslie is an economist at the resolution foundation, a think tank focusing on people on lower incomes. average inflation is 9% in the most recent data, but we think that for the poorest families in the uk, that's already into double digits — probably something like 10.5%, maybe even higher. and that's going to get worse, particularly as we go through the year. we're getting towards another energy price cap increase in october, which will particularly affect

lower—income households because they spend much more as a proportion of their spending on gas and electricity, and so this issue is here to stay and is hitting those low—income people most. households across the uk are having to adapt to increasingly tough conditions. colletta smith reports. when shopping is like a tenner more sometimes per week, itjust gets so much more expensive. bread, i mean, that's gone up. i think the bread that i have has gone up about 50p. kira is 19 and lives in greater manchester on her student loan and wages from her part—timejob. but it's not easy. before the student loan in april, i had £17 in my bank left. nothing, no savings, no nothing. when it comes to affording shopping at the moment, how are you making ends meet? i shop less, so i shop every two weeks now. i try and get a big batch of chicken and then i freeze it all so it doesn't go out of date, and then i will make sure that i split them up

and make meals, maybe make, like, a batch meal. i saw people doing this... and kira has another trick too. this is what these are, budget binders. budgeting her cash carefully to make sure she has enough to live and to save. in castleford, saving is becoming increasingly hard. cheryl and her husband both work full—time, but with their energy bills bouncing up and up, the plan to buy their own family home is feeling more like a pipe dream. i'm constantly turning everything off at the switch, you know, every night, we turn everything off. we make sure that we use a full dishwasher, full washing machine, a full load when we're washing. so i'm sort of running out of ideas at the minute, because i am doing everything i can to sort of keep my energy bills as low as possible. but it is a battle, and it seems that there's not really much more i can do at the minute. as this chart shows,

it's been four decades since prices rose that fast. this is a report from that time stop in britain done or are verses are rising much faster than those of our nature rising much faster than those of our natur . ,., , rising much faster than those of our natur ., ,., , , rising much faster than those of our natur ., .. , , ., nature trading partners. -- but are rices. nature trading partners. -- but are prices. government _ nature trading partners. -- but are prices. government ministers - nature trading partners. -- but are prices. government ministers are i nature trading partners. -- but are i prices. government ministers are not getting panicked into a policy. instead, they are relying on their tight money and credit policies, pushing up the price of borrowing and frightening companies all from getting into high wage settlements. ever since those days, inflation has been lower. it is expected to go above 10%. here is faisal islam. this isn't even the peak. we think it will get to double digits — 10% or more — by the end of the year. but as important as to where the number actually goes is that it just stays quite high for a number of months.

now, as we've been hearing, we haven't had this for four decades. and we did have inflation going up to 9%, it tended to take years rather than months to come back down again. the forecast of the bank of england is that it will only take months, but the reason for that is quite important. back then, in the late '70s, unions, workers had big bargaining power in order to match their wage rises with the inflation rises. not so much the case any more, but that means pain at home, household budgets squeezed, more poverty, more hunger, more homelessness, but also the point about this is that it's affecting every single household. and the question is this — when you have that, does an inflation problem turn into a growth problem and risk of a recession? the bank of england has been responding in the usual way — by raising interest rates — but that sort of intervention has other effects on the economy too. victoria clarke is an economist at santander. interest rate rises that they've been pushing through since december of last year are seemingly having an impact, but it does take time. and the issue that they have is that most of the inflation that we have

at the moment is global. i mean, it's being seen in economies across the world, and so what they're really facing up to is the prospect of squeezing the domestic bit of the uk economy, to try and pull overall inflation down. you know, the bank of england's bet at the moment seems to be that inflation is so high, that high inflation deals with high inflation. in effect, it's so much of a squeeze on households' real spending power that they cut back on their spending and that that reduction in demand means that households and businesses can ask for smaller wage rises, that businesses push through smaller price increases and that that brings down those inflation numbers almost by its own accord. but that in itself is going to be quite a painful process. ros will be looking at what the government could do to ease the cost of living, including calls for a windfall tax on energy companies.

all the analysis. do stay with us on outside source. lots more news coming up soon. hello. after a fairly warm and sunny day come the thunderstorms in the evening. and the met office warns that it's the southeast of england that will have the heaviest downpours, most frequent lightning, gusty winds and, in places, large hail as well. and you can see on the satellite picture the clouds gathering from the south, moving northwards. northern ireland will have seen some very heavy showers as well from this weather front approaching off the atlantic and in the scattered storms earlier on in the south. so this is what it looks like through the early evening, then. heavy showers moving through northern ireland, heavy showers scattered across many parts of england and wales, but these bright colours across the southeast, east anglia and into lincolnshire indicate those nasty storms.

and it does look as though they will rumble on through the early hours of thursday morning, but eventually clearing the extreme south and the southeast by around about 3am or 4am in the morning. and then i think by the time we get to around 5.00 or 6.00, it does look as though it will be dry across most parts of the uk, remaining fairly damp and humid after that early wet start to the night there — 14 degrees in london, 11 degrees in glasgow. and then first thing in the morning, there still could be cloud and some showers across east anglia and the southeast. there will be some showers and a breeze in northwestern scotland, but clearly the bulk of the uk in for another fine day with plenty of sunshine on thursday and temperatures ranging from 23 in london to 20 in birmingham. and the high teens expected in the lowlands of scotland and also across aberdeenshire. that takes us into friday and more weather fronts approaching. this one here across holland could clip the far southeast

of the country, so again the potential for some thunderstorms here. but more generally, this atlantic breeze will bring a scattering of showers. it will be quite a blustery day around some of these western coasts. it'll feel cooler, too — 15, 16 degrees, best temperatures probably 18 or 19 in the southeast of the uk. how about the weekend? well, england and wales is set for settled weather. high pressure is expected to build. it should be very pleasant. in the northwest, always the chance of some rain.

the russian soldier has pleaded guilty to killing an unarmed civilian in the early days of the invasion of ukraine the first war crimes child being held. everyone here knows they're under scrutiny. they they have to be transparent and what ukraine says is that it's not looking for scapegoats, this is not a show trial, they want justice. reports from the usa that a plane that crashed in china may have been put into a deliberate nosedive by someone on board. as fuel prices drive up the cost of living in the

uk ross atkins look at calls for a windfall tax on energy companies. us media is reporting that the china eastern airlines plane that came down in march may have been crashed intentionally. us investigators say that flight data suggests the boeing 737 was deliberately put into a near vertical descent. the information appears to have come from the us team helping china with its investigation into the crash. it was china's deadliest aviation disaster in nearly 30 yea rs. the boeing jet crashed in the mountains of southern gwang—shee on the 21st of march. all 123 passengers and nine crew, so 132 people in total were killed. this is the aftermath of the crash. authorities say the pilots did not respond to repeated calls from air traffic controllers during the rapid descent.

our asia pacific editor michael bristow explains where the information is coming from. it's not so much as report as a suggestion from america from the investigators in the states who have been taking part in the inquiry looking at what the cause of this crash was way back in march this year. they have suggested that perhaps it was an intentional crash that someone in the cockpit whether that was the pilots or somebody who forced their way in there not saying but someone in the cockpit did a cause the pain to take a steep descent and crashed into the mountains in china killing 132 people, all the people on board that plane. this is the wall street journal is reporting the story. they're quoting a person familiar with the preliminary assessment of us officials as saying, "the plane did what it was told to do,

by someone in the cockpit." in reaction china says there'll be a thorough investigation. here's the chinese foreign ministry spokesperson. the civil aviation administration of china said it would continue to maintain close communication with all parties involved in the investigation carrying it out in a scientific, rigorous and orderly manner. so that's the official government reaction. here's michael assessement on that. chinese authorities are not directly recommending addressing this narrative. they suggested perhaps it was in the early stages in this investigation. it may be two years before we get an official report. there have been in the past few weeks some suggestions on chinese social media sites that this perhaps was the case. this is not the first crash involving boeing. indonesia's lion air flight 610, which was a boeing 737 max 8 model,

crashed in 2018, killing 189 people. a year later, an ethiopian airlines flight, also a boeing 737 max 8 model, crashed, 157 people were killed. boeing's 737 max 8 planes were then grounded. alex macheras is an aviation analyst. the wall streetjournal is quoting someone who is close to the inital investigation as saying "the plane did what it was told to do by someone in the cockpit" indonesia's lion air boeing 737 and the ethiopian airlines boeing i think the focus has to be recognising that so far it is only the wall streetjournal who are citing a person who was elected directly familiar with the findings of this initial investigation and

the reason of course the us are even involved in the first place is because although this was a domestic chinese flight, the aircraft was manufactured by boeing. of course bowling americans of the us has been assisting china in these weeks that have followed this christ which occurred in late march. what the wall streetjournal are saying if we pointed out for a moment is that the data suggests somebody specifically input either data or also ultimately at the control of the boeing 737 that was operating what was ultimately an uneventful flight and entered base near vertical nosedive and of course if this does turn out to be the case it almost clarifies or confirms that there is that many had in the aviation sector because thankfully air travel is incredibly safe and we very rarely see an aircraft suffer in such a manner but

the nature of this accident really did tend to point to towards the fact that it did appear if you are speculating that somebody could have been at the controls. we have not had any data to suggest that was the case apart from this week from the wall streetjournal so we'll have to see how it goes in the coming weeks. can you elaborate in that point you made in putting in beta. we understand _ made in putting in beta. we understand the concept of somebody entering the cockpit even though it would be good of you to elaborate on that. and alluding to the concerns that. and alluding to the concerns that where we were previously about the software issues that boeing 737 max eight models previously had? i want to separate the aircraft involved in this incident was not a 737 max eight nor does it possess the technology that was later found to be the cause of those 27 37 max incidences. this is an earlier

generation aircraft, a boeing 737 800 in—service all over the world a stellar safety record globally but in terms of inputting the spec controls and what that really means that phase of the fact that this aircraft suffer this nosedive it was in the cruise and in the cruise day aircraft is on auto pilot as we say we have the data, the initial data from the flight data recorder consistent with the data that was available online that shows everything was operating as normal. what the leak from wall street journal suggests is perhaps somebody ultimately told the aircraft to enter that nosedive and that would really consist of the pilots or an intruder into the flight deck adjusting perhaps the altitude or vertical speed in the aircraft which is running on autopilot at that time to change its altitude and have the aircraft to react in a dramatic way. again we have not had this confirmed but that's what that specific phrase

the wall streetjournal used is alluding to and of course the other theory which again the wall street journal mentions we know there is no confirmation as to whether where the four factor involved perhaps confirmation as to whether where the fourfactor involved perhaps it confirmation as to whether where the four factor involved perhaps it was someone else on board the aircraft. we had not had anything from the chinese authority to suggest it was hijacked for example. there was no distress call and there was no communication between the aircraft itself an air traffic control and there are many different ways that a flight crew can let the outside world no there has been an intruder in the cockpit even without seeing it by air traffic control there are certain controls that declare a hijacking signal none of that happening. what happened was this aircraft was playing very normally until it was not until it was in that near vertical nosedive. it’s that near vertical nosedive. it's aood of that near vertical nosedive. it's good of you — that near vertical nosedive. it's good of you to be clear on that especially in the differences between those different boeing models. thank you very much.

let's get more now on the rising cost of living in the uk — and the growing calls for the government to do more. one suggestion by the opposition labour party is for a windfall tax on energy company profits. ros atkins has more. one issue dominated prime minister his questions. a one off tax on huge plan and tax profits would raise billions of pounds cutting energy bills across the country. fin billions of pounds cutting energy bills across the country.- bills across the country. on the idea of windfall _ bills across the country. on the idea of windfall tax _ bills across the country. on the idea of windfall tax boris - bills across the country. on the l idea of windfall tax boris johnson idea of windfall tax borisjohnson is not committed. we idea of windfall tax boris johnson is not committed.— idea of windfall tax boris johnson is not committed. we would look at all the measures _ is not committed. we would look at all the measures we _ is not committed. we would look at all the measures we need _ is not committed. we would look at all the measures we need to - is not committed. we would look at all the measures we need to take . all the measures we need to take misty— all the measures we need to take misty speaker to get people through to the _ misty speaker to get people through to the other side.— to the other side. these exchanges are happening _ to the other side. these exchanges are happening at — to the other side. these exchanges are happening at the _ to the other side. these exchanges are happening at the cost -

for those who need it most. aha, for those who need it most. a one—off tax is the idea. neighbour says it could raise £2 million which would support lower income households. the idea appears popular. internal government polling found as many as 18 —— eight in ten people support doing this by the government does not, at least not yet. it's mps voted against a windfall tax and earlier this month borisjohnson argued he is mindful of the difficulties caused by rising prices. on windfall tax, mrjohnson has these reservations. what prices. on windfall tax, mrjohnson has these reservations.— prices. on windfall tax, mrjohnson has these reservations. what do you achieve if you _ has these reservations. what do you achieve if you take _ has these reservations. what do you achieve if you take that _ has these reservations. what do you achieve if you take that money - has these reservations. what do you achieve if you take that money away | achieve if you take that money away in tax? do you deter them from making the big changes that we need an our energy market because we really do need investment in supply. no one disputes that investment is needed particularly in green technology but it's not clear a windfall tax would stop that investment. for example bp penn

state invest up to £18 billion on the energy system by 2030 and when asked which of those plans would not go ahead if there was a windfall tax the chief executive replied there are none that we would not do and the prime minister language on a windfall tax has softened. he told them the government will have to look at the and the chancellor says he wants increased investment by energy firms or if that does not happen soon and a significant scale no option is off the table. in other words a windfall tax is not rolled out but for the prime minister there is something broader at stake as well. this government is not in principle paper of higher taxation. the tax burden in the uk is the highest since the 1940s. and that question of a windfall tax is unlikely to go away because in october the energy price cap will shift again. they are projected to rise by a third —— neighbour argues

is allowed up until the 14th week of pregnancy. but not everyone agrees with the changes in the country, which is traditionally roman catholic. translation: i think that the limit should be kept at 18. _ not so much because of abortion itself but because of the responsibility parents have who are responsible for the child until they are 18. the bill does give medical staff and out by setting up a register of conscientious objectors. for women like martha that register is essential. she was refused an abortion at a public hospital despite the pregnancy endangering her own life. and had to seek private care. in that moment you feel very miserable and very guilty. i think that register is fundamental so every hospital can guarantee there is a medical team that does not object. the bill does not stop there. amongst other reforms spain
