here on cnn newsroom rulings by two u. s. federal judges illustrate what health care for women now looks like without the protections. of roe v. wade. fallout from the move by tennessee republicans to expel two democratic lawmakers from the state house here with their supporters are planning to do next, and a show of force on all sides of taiwan. see how beijing is responding as officials from taipei and washington grow ever closer. live from cnn center. this is cnn newsroom with goossen. so the abortion rights debate is once again front and center here in the united states. this time a fight is brewing over access to medication. abortion pills after federal courts issued conflicting rulings just minutes apart. the justice department and a drug manufacturer have already filed an appeal to reverse the decision that seeks

to block the drugs. but also flores breaks down the two abortion rulings for us and their possible impact. there are two conflicting orders on abortion that is causing a lot of confusion in the united states. first there's one out of the state of texas a federal judge suspended the fda approval of an abortion pill called mifepristone, now a federal judge out of the state of washington also issued an order but ordering that that drug stay on the shelves of at least 12 liberal states. not because these are two conflicting orders by two federal judges in the united states. legal experts say that this is likely to land in the hands of the united states supreme court now let me get you up to speed about what we're talking about here. preston is an abortion drug. it was approved by the fda back in 2000 , so it's been on the shelves for decades. it is the most common way to terminate a

pregnancy. pregnancy in the united states. it has been used by more than five million women is considered safe and effective. and medical groups say that the risk of death is quote non existent. now the plaintiffs were asking this judge in texas to completely take this medicationff the shelves. who were the plaintiffs ? the plaintiffs are a coalition of antibortion groups. whos the judge. the judge is a man by the name of matthew cau merrick. he was appointed by pridt donald trump and before rising to the federal bench, matthew cause merrick worked for a religion. just write law firm on anti abortion. advocacy now the hearing for this particular case was a preliminary injunction hearing that happened last month. it lasted for about four hours. and on friday, judge matthew kaz merrick issued this ruling suspending the fda approval of medford, kristen, but this judge

also paused the ruling for seven days, saying that this will give time for the united states department of justice to appeal the order. rosa flores, cnn, houston. the food and drug administration said in a statement. that method preston was approved more than 20 years ago and his quote safe and effective for its indicated use . when o. b. g y n doctor told cnn. the fallout from the decision is going to be a lot wider than people believe. the majority of abortions in clinics in the us are medication abortion, which means that this affects so many people. um and even beyond medication, abortion people forget that this medication is used for other aspects of reproductive health care, and it's used often times , you know, for reasons like inducing a second trimester or later loss with a very wanted pregnancy, so the fallout is really a lot wider than people

realize. so it was no accident that the case wound up in the hands of judge merrick. it was in fact by design to take a listen to cnn legal analyst elliot williams. there are 93 federal districts in the across the united states of america. and typically when a party files you know, there might be 10 or 15. or however many judges in the district and you're rolling the dice on which judge will ultimately here and get to decide on a case through a quirk of how courts are apportioned across the country, but particularly in this portion of texas, this judge was the one judge in the one court that that could have gotten this case. it was a deliberate clearly. a deliberate choice on the part of the parties here to seek out this judge, quite possibly the most favorable judge on this issue, given sort of sort of prior history and background there on so there's no question that not just the forum shopping

in the sense of well, i'd like to file this in the southern united states or in the northeastern united states, where i might have a better chance of winning, but specifically seeking out one particular judge and trying to engineer an outcome, this wasn't many respects. sort of a policy decision in search of a court to help effectuate it. vice president kamala harris made a last minute trip to nashville, tennessee, friday, a day after two black democratic state lawmakers were expelled for protesting for gun reform while on the statehouse floor and the white colleague. you see her there on the right was threatened with expulsion, but spared. the vice president met with all three while advocating for stricter stricter gun control measures. she addressed the issue while speaking at a local university. listen. it wasn't about the three. of these leaders. it was about who they were representing. it's about whose voices they were channeling. understand that. and

is that not what a democracy allows. democracy says you don't silence the people. you do not stifle the people. you don't turn off their microphones when they are speaking. cnn's gary tuchman is in nashville and has more on the protests that followed and whether justin jones and justin pearson might soon be back in the legislature. new energy at the tennessee state capitol after a day of protests, debate and consequential votes. thank you, mr speaker of the house standard recess until five pm on monday, april 10th 2023 democratic legislators had just been expelled from the tennessee house of representatives by republican supermajority in the hallways of the state capitol

nashville demonstrators yelling and crying, with some staging a dying in protest. as legislators filed out of the house chambers, a chaotic scene tennessee state troopers standing between them and demonstrators, yelling was loud but allstate peaceful. then came the representatives who had been the subject of the expulsion discussions. justin pearson on the left gloria johnson in the middle. justin jones on the right. the two men expelled the woman surviving by one vote. they were punished by republicans for their demonstration on the house floor last week, calling for gun reform, walking up to the well of the chamber and protesting following the horrific school shooting in nashville last month. republicans saying their behavior was disorderly and as a result, they made the decision to kick the two men out of the legislature. so what does the woman who survived have to say about that? i think it's pretty clear. i'm a six year old white

woman and they are too young black man. the chairman of the tennessee black caucus is sam mckenzie. the world saw the options. i don't have to say a word about the fact that our two young african american brothers were unfairly prosecuted. information evidence introduced inappropriately. but they handled themselves like true champions. republicans deny a racism allegations, some saying that gloria johnson was not leading the protest effort. last week, one republican leader told us further investigation taking into the ethics committee. a lesser punishment was not something as party wanted to do this group my caucus, which is the supermajority there, 75 of us said no, that is not. we don't want to go to the ethics throughout. we don't want them censored. we want them expelled. but one of those expelled representatives stands by what he and his two democratic colleagues did, saying they were are not being allowed to talk about what they feel needed to be talked about gun reform. we have been expelled for standing with our constituents, but i

have no regrets will continue to speak up for district 52 for tennesseans who are demanding change, notably both expelled legislators could be back in office and soon their county commissions will appoint temporary representatives supplier to the next election, and they are permitted to select the two men who were expelled when the tennessee state house of representatives reconvenes on monday. they're expected to be protesters where we're standing , showing their support for the two legislators who were expelled the one who was almost expelled, and those three justin jones, justin pearson and gloria johnson. anticipated they will be here too. gary tuchman, cnn in nashville. as you just heard. tennessee republicans have rejected allegations that their decision to expel pearson and jones but not gloria johnson was racist. listen to what brian ritchie, a gop state lawmaker, had to say about that. it was too energetic, youthful males that were a little bit more animated while they were up

there, and miss gloria johnson represented johnson stood there she when the they played, the video clearly showed her standing there not doing as much . and i think that suede other members to not vote for her, and that's why she's still there. had nothing to do with the color of their skin. i respect all three of them and their constituents that voted for them. i felt that they should stay. israeli authorities have mobilized reserve units after reporting to deadly terror attacks on friday, the latest acts of violence in a week of heightened tensions in televisa . police say a car hit a crowd of tourists before flipping over on a beach front walkway. italian citizen was killed and seven other people were wounded. police killed the driver. here's how witnesses described the deadly scene. right across the street. yeah right across the street. maybe 100 m over. and what did you see? how do what are? we heard? we heard gunfire.

we saw shots, and then we saw people sprinting across the street. and then we heard sirens and we decided it was time to get out of here. and earlier on friday, a separate shooting attack in the occupied west bank left two women dead. authorities say the victims were british israeli sisters and that their mother was seriously wounded in the attack. we want to get more and all of this now from cnn, salma abdelaziz in jerusalem i mean both chilling terror attacks there, and obviously everyone still it was quite a bit of unease about where this conflict is going next. it seems that we have some measure of calm at the moment. but what more are you hearing? absolutely paula, but they're still really all across this region a sense of fear and worry in what is supposed to be a weekend. there is a weekend of religious observation for all three faiths . you have passover, ramadan and easter all converging at once, and it comes after three days of

escalating violence across the region. it all really began on wednesday when israeli police raided al aqsa mosque, of course, one of the holiest sites in islam, very inflammatory images of israeli police. beating people inside with batons with the butt of their rifles that were spread across the region. condemnation poured in as well as rockets in response coming from gaza, of course, hamas controlled gaza and from southern lebanon. the barrage coming from southern lebanon was the largest seen since the war in 2006. israeli authorities blamed hamas from operating from inside southern lebanon and prime minister netanyahu vowed to retaliate. we saw these tips for tat responses is really the israeli military thing that it did strike sites in both of those locations in southern lebanon, and in gaza. it seemed to be a very measured response, very measured actions on both sides, but that all really spiraled yesterday with these two separate terror attacks, the first in the

morning in the occupied west bank, a shooting attack described as a terror incident by israeli authorities that left two sisters a 16 year old in a 20 year old. they were dual nationals, british israeli nationals, those two sisters killed in that attack and their mothers seriously wounded and then into the evening and tell aviv this very shocking, chilling attack that you mentioned on on the on the promenade. rather intel aviv, the beachfront. they're very busy, popular area again. it's passover so you can expect families. friends gathered there that evening. that's when israeli police say this terror attack took place the perpetrator right driving, ramming their car into pedestrians. all of the victims were tourists. one of the victims killed an italian national, one person killed and some of those wounded still remain in hospital and recovering as you mentioned this morning, things are calm. but all of those factors paula that have led to this latest escalation of violence from the

rhetoric coming from hamas and hezbollah to the israeli military being on high alert to the religious holidays. ongoing all of those factors are in place, and that's why there's fears that the cycle of violence could escalate. policy. and this obviously comes after very to most tumultuous times in israel and some very violent months even before this happened, salma, thanks for the update, appreciate it. the violence on friday happened after as someone's just saying after israel struck palestinian militant targets in southern lebanon. israeli forces say it was in response to rocket attacks fired from the area. cnn's scott mclean is in lebanon. no one has claimed responsibility yet for the barrage of rockets fired from lebanese territory towards israel on thursday, not hamas, not hezbollah, though previously the leader of hezbollah hassan is rolla has said that violations at the al aqsa mosque complex could cause held to break loose across the region.

earlier the lebanese foreign minister expressed a very similar feelings. listen i'm not justifying it, but i'm explaining it that in what happened in axa is very important and it's really that is a reaction from the palestinians that there is a feeling from the palestinians that this shouldn't happen that their brothers in the west bank and gaza should be able to go to a maximus without any problems. the minister also expressed relief that this was carried out by what he described as palestinian militant groups rather than hezbollah, which would have carried a much higher risk of escalation that risk of escalation. there have been concerns about it expressed by the united nations by lebanese security source who spoke to my team. earlier saying that some of the targets that israel was aiming at actually work. militant targets actually were weapons. but the foreign

minister insists that the work of his government has lessened the risk of that. oh he concedes that given the complexities of his country and of the region, he is relying on hezbollah to tell those militant groups and the united states to tell israel not to escalate things further. this is essentially a game of telephone with potentially very dire real life consequences. scott mclean, cnn, beirut. ireland is on high alert ahead of the 25th anniversary of the good party agreement to look at the legacy of that landmark deal that ended decades of sectarian violence known as the troubles. plus the american journalist detained in russia is now formally charged with espionage . what it means for the case against evan gersh devic. as he denies allegations of spying. my mom says that briers is made

depends on who you speak to about how much the good friday agreement has delivered over the past quarter century, but the one thing that everyone would agree on here. is it brought peace? it bought safety at bought the knowledge that you could go out shopping in the central belfast with your family and not be caught up in an explosion more than 3.5 1000 people were killed during those three decades known as the troubles. so, yes, northern ireland has moved on. and yes, you can look around. see the development. see the development here in the city center, see the new businesses. the new new hotels, all those sorts of things that come with an improvement in the economy. but there are other areas where people will tell you particularly younger generation have been telling us that they feel that the good friday agreement hasn't delivered enough. not really on their expectations that you really can't have. a good conversation between let's say that the pro

british and pro irish communities about the identity of northern ireland and the people who live here, and what happens next, there's a movement for a united island. there's a strong movement to remain part of the united kingdom. so all of these areas don't get very much discussion. there's a political stasis here between the major political parties, and that's bringing some economic issues. but really, it's that big issue. good friday agreement brought peace but it's sort of held there. there isn't a pathway forward. there isn't a way forward to what comes next. that's something you hear a lot of from the younger generation. nic robertson, cnn belfast. china says it is sending a message to taiwan is it conducts three days of military exercises on all sides of the island? taiwan says at least eight chinese ships and 42 aircraft have been detected in the strait. this follows the taiwanese leaders 10 day trip to

central america and the united states, which beijing denounced as a provocation. i did not mention the chinese drills when she met with a visiting delegation of u. s lawmakers today. cnn's will ripley is in taipei and has our report. it's not entirely unexpected that just after taiwan president signed when arrived back from the united states and central america, that 10 day diplomatic trip, which included that transit stop in california, and that meeting with the u. s house speaker kevin mccarthy, which infuriated china that this would be happening to eastern theater command, announcing united sharp sword these military drills starting on saturday, saying they're gonna end on monday of combat ready patrols and exercises in and around the taiwan strait. to the north, south and east of taiwan, both the sea and the air space as planned, the says they put on a quote, saying that this is a serious warning against the taiwan separatist forces collusion with external forces,

a reference to the u. s and unnecessary move to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. dozens of p l. a warplanes were also spotted in and around taiwan's air defense identification zone beginning on saturday morning. now taiwan's defense ministry of course. they have. you know they're monitoring this. they're they're on high alert if you will, but their statement seems to downplay the significance of this. sharp sword exercised by china. this is what the statement reads. in part in recent years, the chinese communist party has continued to send aircraft and ships to harass the region, which is threatened the regional situation and even used president size visit and transit to the united states as an excuse to conduct military exercises, which has seriously damaged regional peace. stability and security. so here in taipei, this act that they believe is an attempt to intimidate them, they say will not cause taiwan to react in a way that will escalate this situation. it seems to be china

, you know, doing all of this angry about president size transit through the united states. meanwhile presidents i didn't even mention the military drills when she made comments on saturday because she's beating meeting with yet another bipartisan group of us lawmakers, including some of the an and women in congress. who will be making a decision about whether to sell taiwan even more defensive weapons to defend against a potential chinese invasion. will ripley, cnn taipei. the ordeal is over for a group of ukrainian children allegedly deported by russia will show you the moment when they finally make it back to ukraine. this is proof the most powerful pet odor eliliminator n the world. no harsh chemicalsls, chemicals, fragrances not seriously. it's safer people, pets and the planet. what's this

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm paula newton and you are watching cnn newsroom. russia has now formally charged wall street journal reporter evan gorski, which with espionage, russian authorities detained the american journalist last week, accusing him of spying, which he denies. matthew chance reports on where the case against him goes from here. in some ways, it's just a legal formality. the authorities here in russia have 10 days to formally charge a suspect before they have to let them go. and it's exactly 10 days since evan gush covic was arrested in the city of yekaterinburg on suspicion of espionage, and so these very big, slow wheels of bureaucracy. in russia are turning and, of course, it dashes any hopes that the russians might change their mind might think twice and might set evan gorshkov itch this wall

street journal reporter free. certainly that's been the call of his newspaper. they've issued a statement over the course of the past few hours, saying they categorically rejects as false. the espionage charges against their reporter, and they're calling them unjustified and again, calling for his immediate release. in fact, that's incredibly unlikely to happen goes. covic has been remanded in the lefortovo prison in moscow until may the 29th while the authorities build their case, it could be extended even longer than that, if the authorities decide they want more time. and of course, when this trial eventually starts, and that could be months away and reaches its conclusion, there's a 99% chance of statistics or anything to go by in russia, that will be a conviction, which means that evan gorski ceviche will be facing a possible sentence of 20 years. in prison. it's only

after that process is over that there's a possibility of some sort of deal with the united states. in the past, there have been prisoner swaps. i think the expectation at least the hope is that something can be arranged to set evan gorshkov itch free as well. matthew chance. cnn moscow. some u. s. military secrets about ukraine were apparently posted online for anyone to see. they're included in what appears to be classified documents that started showing up on social media at least a month ago. and now the u. s. justice department is now investigating how they leaked out. tasha bertrand reports. there are many key questions are still unanswered. the pentagon says it is investigating reports of social media posts that appeared to show classified information about us and nato assessments of ukraine's military capabilities. now it is

unclear how these documents appeared online how long they have been online and crucially when the u. s actually became aware of these documents that have been circulating on twitter and telegram, but we are told from sources that these documents do appear to be largely authentic. they are part of a daily slide deck that is crazy. read by pentagon officials to brief senior officials on the situation in ukraine. but there's an important caveat to that. which is that officials say that at least some of these documents appear to have been doctored. one of those documents shows that it has been doctored to show that the russian casualty rate is actually far lower than the us has actually assessed it to be. and that is suggests to us officials that someone with an incentive to convey that the russian killed in action rate is far lower than what the us has assessed it to be actually doctored that document, so there are a lot of there are a lot of there's a lot of caution being expressed here by u. s officials when treated with regard to how

the u. s, and the public at large, should treat these documents. but look, the pentagon and u. s officials are fairly very concerned as a whole about the fact that documents that do appear to have legitimately classified information about ukrainian training and equipment appear have appeared online just ahead of a very crucial ukrainian counter offensive. now the ukrainians are projecting calm about the situation with a senior ukrainian officials in the president's office. they're saying that they believe that this is just part of a russian disinformation operation. and that the leaked documents do not actually show anything particularly sensitive about ukraine's military plans, but depending on taking a really close look at this, and it remains to be seen what comes out of their review. natasha bertrand cnn at the pentagon. ukrainian artillery is fighting to keep russian troops at bay as they press ahead with their offensive in the east. ukraine

says russia launched more than 40 attacks across the eastern front lines in the past 24 hours , officials say russian forces are still trying to take full control of backward. ukrainian general staff says their forces are still fending off russian assault. but british military intelligence says russians have regained some momentum and mahmoud and they've likely reached the city's center. meantime more than 30. ukrainian children are now back home after their alleged illegal deportation by russia across the border on friday after spending months in russia and occupied crimea. that's according to humanitarian group save ukraine and it says some of the children were released after their mothers went to russia to try and track them down. those women also had the power of attorney to bring back the rest of the children. ukraine says more than 16,000 children have been illegally deported by russia, which led to an international arrest warrant against president vladimir putin. russia denies any wrongdoing. well now take

stop exchanging some data on its nuclear forces. just as the kremlin said it would do. meanwhile belarus is potentially being pulled even more into russia's orbit. last month, russian president vladimir putin announced he planned to deploy tactical nuclear weapons to his neighbor. remember he staged part of his february 2022 invasion into ukraine from belarus. so it is worth noting here that so far there is no indication such weapons are being deployed. joining me now is rose gottemoeller as former under secretary for arms control and international security with the u. s state department, she was washington's chief negotiator of the new start treaty. she is the former deputy secretary general of nato and is currently a lecture. at stanford university, and we can think of no one better to talk to us about this right now, especially as you have been writing just to try and again insert yourself into the conversation of where

we go now. and why, because so many people have been alarmed by vladimir putin's comments, and i want to get first to the threat that he has now put on the table that tactical nuclear weapons he may put them in belarus. i want to be clear. these are short range weapons to be used on battlefields are not strategic strategic nukes. that our tool of mass destruction but on those technical, nuclear tactical part of mean nuclear weapons, putin says, there's nothing unusual about this, he says. look, the u. s has been doing this for years. is he right? ah well, the united states does have an extended deterrence prence in nato europe for many, many years , the nato european countries have deployed some nuclear weapons that the united states maintains its control over. interestingly enough, the ussr was very keen to have this arrangement. um laid down during the negotiation of the non proliferation treaty in the 19 sixties precisely because it

didn't want nato nuclear countries to, um, to have their very own nuclear weapons. they didn't want to germany in particular to acquire nuclear weapons. but given those tactical nukes, i mean there's no control arms control agreements around those. there are in fact secretive arsenals. how dangerous do you think they are in this context now? with russia. invading ukraine. well it's important for one thing to note that russia already has nuclear weapons close to the borders of ukraine and close to the borders of nato. there is a central storage facility for russian nuclear weapons at belgorod within a few kilometers of the ukrainian border, and nato countries have long suspected that the russians either have deployed or easily can deploy nuclear weapons in kaliningrad, which is their little enclave there on the borders with poland and lithuania. really right in the center of nato, europe, and so i think that in some ways, this is

not qualitatively new. they're already russian tactical nuclear weapons close to the borders of nato and close to the borders of ukraine. but on the other hand, we do know that putin has worked very closely with lukashenko to turn belarus into a launch pad for um russian military operations and this aggression against ukraine. so there is a concern here that now we have yet another launch pad in this case for a nuclear threat against ukraine and against nato , and given what you've devoted your life's work to and being that chief negotiator on on start start as a bit of a mess right now, and that does involve nuclear weapons that are an existential threat. you argue, the united states needs to do more. in this contentious era of us russia relations. what do you think specifically, they should be doing right now. let me say first of all that. i think that biden administration has done a great job staring down vladimir putin and all his nuclear saber rattling. the president has been

very open and out there with a clear deterrence message that any use of nuclear weapons by the russian federation will be a terrible result for russia and really, very clear in his message about the willingness to deter and defend nato allies. and i think that that is has been very important. nato also together with the knighted states has continued to exercise and train nuclear forces and that to convey the deterrents message, so i think the biden administration has done a good job so far, but in this fraud period when the kremlin never ceases to rattle the nuclear saber, i think the united states has a special responsibility as one of the two biggest nuclear states, of course, russia being the other one. to try to in every way, avoid the potential for nuclear escalation and nuclear catastrophe. so for that reason, i'm urging that the united states should look for more ways to communicate with with russia with the kremlin at every level, starting at

technical levels, starting at low levels and then doing our best as we can to reach that man in the kremlin. vladimir putin and i've only got 30 seconds left. but look, you argue, that's our best shot at deterrence sitting down and delivering those messages clearly. at the negotiating table. absolutely it's not only about negotiating and some namby pamby way it's about it's about delivering clear deterrence messages and that is something we can really do forcefully at the negotiating table. okay rose gottemoeller. thank you so much really appreciate your expertise on this topic. thank you. okay terrifying moment in augusta, georgia. huge trees. look at that come crashing down at the masters, forcing golf's first major of the year to suspend play. now no one was injured. cnn sports anchor andy scholes will join us to explain just ahead.
