wade, which has guaranteed the constitutional right to an abortion in the united states for 50 years. the i 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 news websites. the la times says that the ruling marks the most significant curtailing of a constitutional right in supreme court's history. thw new york post asks "what could happen next". several us states including kentucky, louisiana, south dakota and missouri have immediately banned abortion. moving on to uk politics — the times says that borisjohnson is facing another attempt to remove him after those by—election defeats. the paper says senior conservatives are warning that the party is heading for "disaster". the daily mail says a senior cabinet minister has demanded to know if labour and the lib dems had
11:33 pm
an anti—tory electoral pact. and finally, 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. so, those are some of the front pages. let's begin with my fermentable tests. i'll get it right this time. —— my formidable guests. we've been focusing on this. ali, we will start with you this time. this huge ruling, ali, historic changes for the us and the front page of the website on the los angeles times, my body, my choice. two different opinions, lots of placards and

11:41 pm
cambridge, massachusetts or new york or la or san francisco, or other places. there are many places that have a very different view and they're perfectly entitled to. much more conservative, while it religiously driven, and we know in the american political system, the g word, which you remember, we could never mention the word of god in british politics, is not the case in america. there are a lot more conservatives in certain parts of the us, and this is been reflected now in the supreme court. just to underline this point, donald trump appointed three supreme court justices. that is a lot. george w. bush, obama and clinton only had two each. when you have that right of influence in a court, whether those people are there for life, you have a situation where they wield extreme power and this is the outcome that

as an entity, it's so useful. —— it's still. you still have other countries coming into the commonwealth. rwanda and mozambique were not former members when it started, but they seek value in it. there are some issues around accounting on how it's managed. coming in for quite a lot of criticism lately. but there is certain value in bringing together both developing and developed patients. very different from g7 and nato, etc, so i think the future is still there. but i do think charles is reflecting a reality in a very pragmatic way that he would. what is reflecting a reality in a very pragmatic way that he would. what do ou think, pragmatic way that he would. what do you think, susie? _ pragmatic way that he would. what do you think, susie? is _ pragmatic way that he would. what do you think, susie? is there _ pragmatic way that he would. what do you think, susie? is there a _ pragmatic way that he would. what do you think, susie? is there a future? i you think, susie? is there a future? is it about, very quickly,

but for now, goodnight. hello. plenty of fine weather around this weekend, but showers in the forecast, too. however, some of us may miss them altogether and end up with a dry weekend, but i will add that around coastal areas, it could be windy at times and feel a little on the cool side. now, this changeable weather is brought by an area of low pressure which will basically park itself over ireland. it's already arrived and the showers are becoming more frequent across some western areas — that is, they will be through the course of the next 24 hours. now, we've had some showers in the last few hours. they will continue through early saturday morning across parts of western scotland, but generally speaking, it's a dry end to the night for many of us with clear spells. and with temperatures ranging from around 10—15 degrees,
11:57 pm
so not particularly cold first thing in the morning. so, let's have a look at the forecast for saturday, then. here's our area of low pressure. with clouds and showers swirling around, this is a cool atlantic breeze, so around these coastal areas of cornwall, devon, around the coasts of wales, the irish sea and into scotland, it will be chilly, temperatures around 15—16 degrees in some spots. basically, the further east you are, the sunnier and warmer it'll be. and remember, out towards the west, always a chance of catching some showers, even some heavy ones — notjust through the afternoon, but into the evening — and they'll have a tendency to drift northwards, carried by that breeze circling this area of low pressure. that was saturday, this is sunday, and look at this — even some persistent rain for a time expected in northern ireland and around some of these western parts of the uk. further east, drier and brighter and, in fact, in east anglia and the southeast and probably along the south coast of england, it should be a mostly sunny day on sunday. here, temperatures up to 23 degrees in one or two spots,
11:58 pm
but more typically, we're talking about the mid or high teens a little bit further towards the west. and this low pressure is still with us early next week, but what happens is it actually moves away and another one takes its place, bringing spells of rain to western parts of the uk once again. so, overall, we are in a spell of fairly unsettled weather. here's the outlook for some of our major cities, and you can see the further north and west you are, the more changeable it is with these showers. the best of the weather will always be further south and southeast. have a good weekend.

this is bbc news — i'm krupa padhy — with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the us supreme court overturns the landmark roe versus wade ruling — ending the constitutional right to an abortion — that dates back nearly 50 yea rs. the historicjudgement will transform abortion rights in america — with individual states now able to ban or restrict the procedure. critics say the ruling is a major set—back to a woman's 'right to choose'. president biden has strongly condemned the decision. the court literally taking america back 150 years. that is a sad day for the country but it does not mean the fight is over.
