10:35 pm
of tomorrow's front pages. let's start with the ft weekend. the us supreme court has struck down roe vs wade, which has guaranteed the constitutional right to an abortion in the united states for 50 years. the i weekend says that tens of millions of women will now be denied access to abortion, with half of us states planning to make abortion illegal, some of them immediately. let's take a look at some us newspapers websites. the la times says that the ruling marks the most significant curtailing of a constitutional right in supreme court's history. the new york post website carries an analysis on what could happen next. several us states including kentucky, louisiana, south dakota and missouri have immediately banned abortion. moving to uk politics — according to the telegraph, borisjohnson could facing a fresh threat to his leadership, as conservative rebels push
10:36 pm
to change party rules in order to hold a second vote of confidence in his leadership. —— the times. in the daily mail, the words of the uk health secretary, who says labour and the liberal democrats must "come clean" over whether they have any electoral pact. and the daily express says that borisjohnson is convinced he can ride out the political storms and win the next general election if the "winds change" in his favour. what does all of this mean? i'm very pleased that susie and ali are with me tonight. looking specifically at the los angeles times, all of the us papers, very much focusing on this decision by the us supreme court, and not
10:37 pm
surprisingly, we heard a little bit earlier gavin newsom talking about the kind of measures that california will introduce in order to help women who want an abortion, but in terms of history, this is a really historic moment for the us. fine historic moment for the us. one thin we historic moment for the us. one thing we need — historic moment for the us. one thing we need to _ historic moment for the us. que: thing we need to bear historic moment for the us. iez thing we need to bear in historic moment for the us. i2 thing we need to bear in mind when talking about how some states will allow... women will have to travel, is the united states is several thousand miles across, and it's a bit like the european union banning abortion or giving individual states the right, and for example, someone in sardinia has to go to denmark to have their abortion. how do we get there? how do they afford it? it's notjust there? how do they afford it? it's not just a there? how do they afford it? it's notjust a case of popping from kent to sussex, is crossing a continent and some stasis —— cases. women like me who are white and middle—class will sort themselves out. women who are girls and at school, women who
10:38 pm
are girls and at school, women who are poor, women were black, women who are disabled will find it far harder to abort. to undergo procedures that are safe, and therefore they will have procedures who are unsaved. abortion hasn't been banned, it's been outlawed. people will do things online, turning to unregulated doctors, and its easement —— means women are going to die. whatever you may think about the supreme court, those chaps on there are terribly brave to make a decision like that in a country where women are allowed to have a gun stuff like where women are allowed to have a gun stuff lik— gun stuff like susie,, thus giving us food for _ gun stuff like susie,, thus giving us food for thought. _ gun stuff like susie,, thus giving us food for thought. it's - gun stuff like susie,, thus giving us food for thought. it's a - us food for thought. it's a constitutional _ us food for thought. it's a constitutional right - us food for thought. it's a l constitutional right to form us food for thought. it's a i constitutional right to form a militia. �* �* ., ., militia. ali, i'm going to let you crack in straightaway _ militia. ali, i'm going to let you crack in straightaway with - militia. ali, i'm going to let you crack in straightaway with a - crack in straightaway with a response, because we've been witnessing throughout the day the immense emotion when it comes to

this decision, and i susie rightly points out, the us is a big old place. joe biden was talking about the possibilities of helping women travel, but yet again, it's not possible for everybody to do that. so, what do we make of this? well. so, what do we make of this? well, america is a — so, what do we make of this? well, america is a great _ so, what do we make of this? well, america is a great country, - so, what do we make of this? well, america is a great country, but - america is a great country, but it's very decided — america is a great country, but it's very decided to suck —— divided society — very decided to suck —— divided society. this decision to overturn this roe — society. this decision to overturn this roe versus wade constitutional i’ili'it this roe versus wade constitutional right to _ this roe versus wade constitutional right to abortion was expected, i know_ right to abortion was expected, i know it's — right to abortion was expected, i know it's happened, and now what you'll— know it's happened, and now what you'll see — know it's happened, and now what you'll see is— know it's happened, and now what you'll see is 13 states with trigger mechanisms which will bring this outward — mechanisms which will bring this outward straight away. a further 12 looking _ outward straight away. a further 12 looking at — outward straight away. a further 12 looking at bringing this... what it shows_ looking at bringing this... what it shows us— looking at bringing this... what it shows us is— looking at bringing this... what it shows us is that supreme court justices — shows us is that supreme court justices are there for life and have immense — justices are there for life and have immense power in the us the separation of powers system, and what _ separation of powers system, and what it _ separation of powers system, and what it also shows is one has to be

judges. it meant that trump got to replace the supreme courtjustice. that was one of the fundamental things with them the fact that they are so out of step with american public opinion... there are always lunatics outside of abortion clinics, but generally speaking, american opinion is two thirds in favour of abortion rights. it's not just the red or blue states, it's pretty much across the board. i think if the supreme court becomes divorced for the people he's supposed to reveal —— it's supposed to rule four, it's become tainted by the fact that presidents who are appalling in one way or another to some people can appoint a supreme courtjustice better there some people can appoint a supreme court justice better there for
