i guess the news this is e w. news live from berlin tonight to another close call with death, but a bomb i hear turbines again. for the 3rd time, the u. s. supreme court dismissed as a republican let attempt to kill the affordable care act. the decision means millions will keep their health care coverage. also coming up tonight, china's crack down on hong kong now journalists appear to be be genes, target editorial staff, the pro democracy newspaper apple daily were arrested in a massive police rate today. and china, celebrating as 3 of its astronaut docket. the country's new space station marks yet

another challenge by china to us dominance in outer space. and with a 2nd way, the kimono, virus infections, declining, will vaccine, hesitant, hinder india's efforts to keep a 3rd wave at bank. ah, i brings off. it's good to have you with us. the u. s. supreme court has dismissed yet again, a republican lead attempt to kill what is known as obamacare. the decision means that affordable health insurance for tens of millions of americans will remain intact. the justices route 7 to 2 that texas and 17 other states that mounted the challenge did not have standing. in the case, republicans have made numerous unsuccessful attempts to strike down the obama era

health care law since it was passed back in 2010. are let's go over now to washington, our corresponded oliver cell. he's following this for me to you, oliver me. this is a big story. how significant is this ruling at the big deal brand? the president biden already reacted and welcome to the decision of the supreme court. which is not a big surprise because it has been one of the most prestigious projects of the obama administration and the broad health care health insurance to 31000000 americans as of now and subsequently, donald trump, in his term, put it very high on his agenda trying to get rid of it, the republicans have always argued that it's too expensive that it's an individual decision. if you want to be insured or not, the democrats, however, have always been saying that they want to protect low income families, that it's unfair. if people don't have an insurance, especially those was pre existing conditions. and all those republican states that

you mentioned, 17, including texas sued, took this to the supreme court in particular, suing a penalty the people that americans had to pay when they were not insured. but the supreme court said no, that those states don't have the legal standing. i mean, we been here before, this is not the 1st time that the court has rebuffed. republican attacks on obamacare is it? no, not at all. this is the 3rd time. in fact, there has been a 1st attempt in 2012 followed by another one in 2015. and just today, the 3rd one, the 3rd decision, to keep it in place. it has always been a different legal reasoning underlying, but the ultimate goal always was to take obamacare down the 1st time was a very close decision. one conservative justice john robert sided at the time and 2012 with the liberals. now it is a lot more clear, it has been 7 against 2 votes,

although donald trump appointed 3 conservative judges to the supreme court. so we have a highly conservative supreme court that voted in favor of obamacare. it's a very clear decision that we're hearing here as they say oliver in baseball 3 strikes you're out. so is this the final word on the affordable healthcare act? well, it's still us politics and sports brand, so for now, of course you're right. it looks like it's, it's, it's done at least for this attempt, but the g o. p will certainly certainly circle back and, and try it again. however, with every verdict that the hurdle will be a bit higher, so what they will have, they will find they will have to find new legal reasoning to come up with a new case and bring this to the supreme court will certainly not get easier. also more the, the law itself, obamacare is getting more and more popular. 31 millions half obama care are insured

under this law already. and that will be more and more resistance coming from borders as well. right. oliver sell it with the leaders to 90 washington oliver, as always, thank you. showing as crackdown on descent in hong kong has intensified. $500.00 police officers rated the news room of the pro democracy newspaper apple daily this morning and arrested 5 executives, including the papers taught to editors. authorities accused the paper of breaching the national security law that was imposed by b g. a crackdown on journalists in broad daylight, hong kong police rated the offices of the pro democracy newspaper, apple daily, and arrested. several executives, including the editor in chief, at their homes. officials accused the journalists of being involved in an illegal conspiracy. although not a secret one. their transgressions relate to their public support for sanctions on china. feel wanting obama. you know, our investigations found that through apple,

daily newspaper and online platform, there were around 30 articles and both chinese and english, which requested foreign countries and institutions to impose sanctions on hong kong as well as china, dating back to 2019 home go home i don't want them and go off at a press conference. hong kong security chief john lee warned other journalists present not to defend those arrested on part of it is your choice. whether you regard them as part of you who globe your journalistic work lawfully and properly. apple daily belongs to the media conglomerate of jimmy ly, who was the 1st high profile hong kong, they're not to be arrested under the new security law imposed by beijing. apple dailey, has provided extensive coverage of the crackdown on the pro democracy movement as

of thursday evening. its website was up and running. the paper staff published and editorial there, reassuring their reader is that, though we are facing a sweeping clamp down on our publication, the staff of apple daily will hold fast to our duties faithfully and press on till the end to see the arrival of don. our correspondence, he be kong in hong kong. it says the warrant authorizing the raid authorized police to also remove journalistic materials. the unprecedented arrest. and right inside i put a newspaper headquarters for the face targeting media coverage under the national security law. what makes it even more exceptionally stop police were given calls for us for the 1st time to seize journalists, take materials for investigation, raising further concerns of erosion of press freedom in hong kong. although the authority is tried to reassure the public that has nothing to do with press freedom is actually accused. i put a newspaper as

a whole publishing also of online and printed articles, calling for international sanctions against china and hong kong. they think back 220192 recent period of time i'm met, people are getting more fearful that the uncertain redline is going to impact all walks of life in home comb. after a year off, the implementation of the sweeping legislation that we see becoming reporting there . tom grundy is editor in chief of the hong kong free press. and i asked him about apple dailies, next steps after their assets are frozen in their equipment seized. they, they want to say, you know, the show goes on for them to put out of prince edition, particularly tonight is quite symbolic and important because they don't particularly make money. they shut down the taiwanese and tradition just weeks ago . but with it being the last pro democracy daily in hong kong, they're going to be putting out haul for 1000000 copies overnight. we've got a staff member there this evening to witness this because the way hong kong is tend

to respond as they did last august, is to basically wipe the shelves of the apple daily in the morning in lieu of their being any protest at the moment, particularly during covey, this is one way on calling the found to express their support and their discontent . i imagine so for them the show goes on and for read of. they have said that they will buy apple daily, even if it's blank. or let's take a look now, some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world. french prosecutors have requested a 6 month jail term for former president nicholas circle z. he's on trial and here is for illegal campaign financing. soccer c denies being responsible for the massive over spending on his fail, the 2012 reelection bit. it's alleged that he and his party spent about double the amount allowed and then tried to hide the call. the police say a man and a woman had been killed in the shooting in western germany. officers have now

caught the local man, believed to be the government, but authorities said the circumstances of the shooting and the town of s book up are still unclear. investigation is begun in india and after a baby girl was found alive in a box floating on the ganges river. the box contained a horoscope giving the date and time of her birth and her name ganja, the hindu word for the holy writ. doctor's estimate that she is about one month old and ivory cars, former president the run bog, and has flown back home after being acquitted of war crimes at the international force from power back in 2011. after a month, one conflicts for fi is refusal to accept the link to the bo been a decade in exxon. a chinese spacecraft carrying 3 people

has done successfully with the countries. new space station. they blasted off about 6 hours earlier to take part in a 3 month mission to set up experiments and to prepare for a series of space was this latest mission is considered a significant step forward in establishing b g as a major player in algebra space another success for china space program, the sion jo 12 rocket last off the dock with the countries new space station. or for the next 3 months to the crew of 3 will live in a module slightly larger than a city bus. carrying out experiments going on space walks and preparing the station for completion. next year, china space agency will be monitoring the astronauts to see how they handle the time away from earth operation. often the sunday of the fees and see the time to 3 month commission is a long term human crude space flight plan, which requires astronauts to stay in

a relatively narrow and confined environment that it takes time to adapt to the weightlessness. she's all they will also have to cope with an environment filled with noise and vibration. i think it will be uncomfortable and these effect have accumulated impact over time. china space program is mostly home grown. the united states congress forbade nasa from cooperating with china a 10 years ago. it cited concerns over the chinese space program secretive nature and its connections to the military. the international space station launched in 1998 has hosted astronauts from over a dozen different nations, but for china is off limits coming between regimes. response company will build one ourselves. while the i s s, reaches the end of its life, sam, often china plans to complete its station by next year. and when it does, it will be in a position to decide who can come aboard. so you, that's

a good on the mayo caught you at this stage in construction. we're not yet considering for an astronaut dissipation. but looking for an astronaut, there are certainly going to enter the chinese space station one day. you know, there are a number of countries that have expressed a desire to do that and we will be open to it in the future. they go teach you to type while they're still work to be done on the space station. china is already looking ahead to the next project, a proposed lunar base that it's planning together with russia. becky on earth now i'm joined by keith kelly. he's a former ness employee now editor of the website. nasa watched dot com. it was b from washington, d. c. keith is going to see you again. how significant of an achievement is this for chinese space program? well, up until now, only 2 nations. the u. s. in russia have really built large space stations in orbit . and now that china has joined the club, that is a singular accomplishment. so it's

a big deal. and the interesting thing about this is that the international space station is been up there for 20 years. i helped design it in the 1990. so although it state of the art a lot of it space and technology has been around for a while, whereas china space station benefit for from, from some of that experience. but also it was designed, built in the 21st century. so he's got some capabilities that may allow it, as i mentioned in the earlier piece, to continue operating after the international space station has been retired. and is that what is going to happen? i don't think so. i actually think that the international space station will be extended. there's some plans now to actually attach something to the international space station and then eventually detach you. there are 2 of them, but i think down the road you're going to see that there's going to be a lot more collaboration and cooperation. then competition. would you say collaboration and cooperation? it sounds like you're saying there's not going to be more of this 21st century

space race that is often talked about. well, you know, it's interesting. dear national space station has been an operation for 20 years. the united states, russia, europe, japan, and some other countries have been working splendidly up there peacefully. and while, as you know, if you watch television, our president, russia's president, have been having words and we're arguing with him about things. but in space it has been call and with a few minor exceptions, everybody's gotten along well. so i sort of take the viewpoint that it, you know, you do something like this and space and it works as well. maybe doing these things in space to teach us a little bit about how to get along with each other. back on our d. c. i'm thinking maybe 1015 years to the future. we know the americans want to go to the moon in the next decade. are there possibilities for more cooperation? here? there are and you know, when i was growing up in the sixty's, there was a song,

you know, everyone's gone to the moon. well, if you look at the countries of israel's gone, the japan is gone. their indians or india is gone, the, the u. s. is gone, the china is gone, the and so on more countries and now private companies want to go there. so if anything, had the ability to prevent somebody or compete somebody out of this activity is going to become less and less possible as more and more different parties become involved. she's counting. joining me tonight, washington. keith is always going to talk with you. we appreciate your time and your insights tonight. thank you. my pleasure. india is a 2nd wave of corona virus infections appears to be waning. the focus now is on vaccinating as many people as possible to prevent a 3rd way. the government wants to knock you late, all adults by the end of the year. however, there may not be enough vaccines. and if that weren't challenging enough, vaccine hesitancy among parts of the population making matters even worse. the w namisha nice reports tonight from northern india. if they're trying to

get back to the native and these young residents of wrote up in the not indian state of hud yanna, have been eagerly waiting for it after the month of lo, vaccine availability, supply is finally catching up with the demand. you should see online slots in the small to be booked quickly and allowing us flame that distributions in june has improved access to the jap. even further. doctors believe in just massive 2nd wave. good have it is to rock seem hesitancy. people are more aware and they could also be driven by feel as they have closely seen the heart of the corona after the 2nd b, b plus scrambling to get vaccinated. they said that when it does, we definitely want protection from that's why i think that i believe vaccine hesitancy is negligible in

a village 20 kilometer from the hospital. these men, the inter, very different picture. only 2 of them have been vaccinated because they volunteered in the vaccine tires and even be don't feel confident about the benefits of the vaccine. in the last 2 months, more than 50 people have died in this village. these men see it was and could not right us, that gives them but feel you guys several suffered fevers, but you're covered at home. the believe only door to go to hospital, di and without your tread b. c vaccine. that doesn't even guarantee protection. doesn't make sense out of the money. that is the new vaccine. got a couple needs to tell us why we should get into that. what are the benefits they are failing to give us information? because those cable even don't do have died off the vaccinations. the vaccine,

the record, i think the now they're saying plasma had it isn't useful. they just keep changing this down, which we had thought about the people on the screen here. the problem is in the cities because of the felling trees, it's a city problem. it doesn't go many than the villages local health center where the deserted look all year. only $600.00 people have been vaccinated, supplies are limited, and there isn't a rush anywhere. and it's all the more reason that the few who do show up stand out . so need the hot lunch traveled here from one nearby village to get his father the 2nd door. he himself snapped up his toes as soon as it became available. he is now looking out the book a thought for his life. he says there is no need to fear the jap, double so many people. what do you about? he was off to the vaccine. my father had one to him and i got it as well. and i had

no side effects at all. the vaccine is very important to everyone must get into this one part like maybe your wife right now, but she's in fabric. he does every one on him said the vaccine can save lives. india is slowly solving its supply crisis. but to me, faith, an uphill battle against skepticism, to prevent a crisis of demand as well. let's get you up to date now on some of the other developments in the corona virus, pandemic officials and indonesia seem within 350 back to the doctors have contract . it could be 19 and dozens have been hospitalized. almost all were inoculated with china's finer back jap. greece has become the 3rd e u country to get a green light for a recovery and resilience plan that you has your mark more than 30000000000 euros of its recovery funds for greece. and here in germany, the government has announced that it will reopen borders later this month to non

both teams agreed to pause play and have around the pause with teams and fans just cheering him on and letting him know that the entire stadium and all of denmark had his bath. and i think really it was one of the more spirited moments we've seen so far in between him and in, despite the emotion, denmark could not get a result. how did the match play out? yeah, i mean, i think what's important to note is this intensity really carried on to the pitch in the beginning moments of the match. denmark looked great. they were fired up by this moment. they scored a goal just 2 minutes into the game, thinks the use of pulsing, and you really want to blame them for looking a bit. shell shock they've had, but it's a harrowing past couple days. it's not easy to just sort of get back to the game and they came out there is strong belgium for their part struggled a bit, but they put on kevin to brian at half time. he really pulled the strings for them . he assisted on their opening goals and then scored a beautiful winner himself. so really, although the fans had their back and it was

a momentous occasion for denmark, belgium came out with the when it where the to stand now. and you did mark have any chance of progress? yeah, i mean, denmark are when lists in their 1st 2 matches, they lost them both, so they're in a tough spot. but in this tournament, 3rd place teams do have a chance. so on monday they'll face russia and you know, they'll need a win, but they can get through for belgium, they're already cruising through into the round of 16 and looking quite good. all right, the branding from d. w. sports state. thank you. in the 1st of today's years 2020 matches ukraine kept their hopes of qualifying from the group stage, alive with a to one went over north macedonia. audrey will link scored the opener for ukraine, who doubled their lead before halftime north macedonia. pull, they go back after a penalty, but ukraine held on to take 3 points in tennis,
