sports memorabilia. thou, actor amber heard, has begun testifying in the virginia courtroom defending herself against a multi 1000000 dollar defamation suit, brought by her ex superstore husband, johnny depp for 4 days. johnny depp testify that hood physically and verbally abused him on wednesday. it was her turn to take the stand when she called their relationship revolving door of accusations and described how dep had assaulted her . well, let's bring an entertainment journalist k j matthews, who's following the story for us from los angeles. so what were the key moments from herds testimony today? well, it was riveting. she was on the stand for bell. i would say $2.00 to $3.00 and a half hours. ah, she was really captivating and he really did a great job. it trying to convey that she was the victim of domestic violence. she
2:08 am
talked about the beginning of the relationship, how he was so romantic and so kind and so open to her family and her father and just very giving. and then she said there was another side of him that johnny depp, that did drugs, the john, you dread that, did a lot of drinking. and when he did that, she said that he was very abusive, verbally, abusive and physically abusive. she talked about him hitting her repeatedly, and she also talked about why she stay with him. during that time, i'm very, very compelling. what was interesting is to see how johnny depp reacted to that. you could see that he would not look at her the entire time that she was testifying on the stand. he was looking down, he was writing, he wasn't talking to her, he just had no eye contact, which is very different from when he was on stay an eye on the witness stand last week. and i, you know, of course we had a amber her just staring at him and really look like she was very, very upset. so it's very interesting to see the demeanor of both of them as they both go on the stand in and testify as to what it was like when they were married.
2:09 am
and looking at the big picture, k j when it comes to the issue of domestic abuse and violence, much of this usually happens behind closed doors. what's the public opinion on this case? you know, a lot of people, i think, up until this point, we're really leaning towards johnny depp. and we know that because even amber, her fired her p r t because she was not happy with the image that was being portrayed of her a couple times last week when johnny depp would leave the court house, you can hear people kind of giving him a standing ovation, a lot of the people who are on lookers outside and smile and wave, but yet when amber heard walked out of the court house, you could, you could hear audibly a couple of booze. so i think that hit her heart. that could be the reason why she got rid of her p r team and she's obviously working hard to change the image. because up until today, a lot of people seem to be leaning towards johnny debt and saying they were
2:10 am
probably both very verbally abusive to each other. and they were both in a toxic relationship and should have never been married for 2 years. and given that this case is being televised around the world with this sway the jury in any way. you know, it's very interesting and i'm told the jury is predominately male predominantly white. this is a small town virginia. it is not los angeles, it's not new york is not miami. so it'll be interesting to see, you know, how they are taking in all the information where 14 days into the trial i'm told it will probably last another 2 weeks and we still have not seen amber heard it cross examine by johnny depp's attorney. so i really want to see what they do when they get up there and 8, they question amber and see if she still sticks to her story. but right now, up until the day was really looking very, very good for johnny depp. of course we'll have to hear from some of her witnesses we had heard forth of course i initially that she asked,
2:11 am
i think elan must to testify on her behalf, but we're told he's not going to do that. all right, katie matthews, thank you very much indeed. for your time, thank you. or tens of thousands of tons of australian wine. grapes are being left to right after a tiny is boycott. australian wine export to china dropped from nearly $900000000.00 us dollars in 2020 to just 20000000 last year. it's forcing australia's one makers to seek out a new markets, but for the season it might be too late. it's autumn and the grapes are ripe and ready to be picked. this year has delivered a bumper crop. normally a reason to celebrate. but russell lynch, who grows grapes in the mold, you are a region of southeastern australia, is facing the stark reality of leaving a 130 tons of his shiraz grapes on the ground. to rot. china's embargo on australian wine means that great growers and wine makers all over the country are

2:14 am
including the right to abortion. we think we have progressive abortion laws, which guarantee women a certain right to access abortion. but what we find instead is that the last that we have are really quite antiquated. ah, ah, ah, ah. valentina millard saw from catania. the young woman was expecting twins after a course of ivy, if she and her husband really wanted children. if hillary, valentina la luna, greatly to upper laconia, my daughter valentina worked at

2:17 am
only then did the doctors remove the dead fetus, but they didn't treat the same, says, says valentine, as father their plan was to wait until the 2nd twins heartbeat stopped. the family stood by helplessly watching valentina fight for a life noy at all. just a wonder before a bell mazin at some point we were outside and we heard a cry from valentina, but we still didn't know what was wrong. so a cry from valentina and then nothing was in the doctor says, yes, it's serious. we have to resuscitate her. it's gonna come out in my daughters incubated yoletta. gotcha. so they told me the young woman's tragic death occurred in 2016 valentine. his parents had been fighting for justice ever since a jewel apple. valentino story re ignited
2:18 am
a public debate across italy, employ number at the hospital, stood by its handling of the case claiming her death was unavoidable. the doctors then stated that they were a conscientious objectors, which was why they refused to carry out an abortion. no, many italian women took to the streets. valentina dismayed. the doctor's morals could take precedence over a woman's life. i have also protests in rome. one of the demonstrators was local politician and doctor is a better candidate on a long time champion of women's rights in italy. she says, the situation is getting was chair or being that get a shame that, that they didn't. there's growing pressure from religious organizations
2:19 am
and from this group of doctors who are conscientious objectors maternity go, shane sir, are they maintain that embryos and fetus is a fully fledged people? they don't just like women, b, e n, b o ne ac. so no bills. so on it, this is an international initiative. i think that's all. so finding support in italy idea so that all out will stay young for for decades. italian law has granted women the right to an abortion within the 1st 3 months of pregnancy after a medical consultation. but doctors are not obliged to terminate to pregnancy if they object to it on moral grounds. and more than 70 percent of gynecologists refuse to perform both consultations and abortions. that number is on the rise in

brussels. neal data watches, this development with concern, he's a specialist for european questions concerning reproductive rights and women's health. this was an idea of catholic thinkers at the time and what and it seems very reasonable, but what's in fact, it, the way it has been used in italy has gone from a personal choice of conscience, conscience to not be involved in an act which 1 may have more reservations about and it's become an institutionalized system to deny women medical care, so that in italy, doctors who, who are not conscientious objectors, may find limitations in their careers. and therefore this means that the number of doctorates were objectors of conscience is very high in certain regions of italy in
2:21 am
rome, almost 80 percent of gynecologist don't want to have anything to do with abortion. another difficult area, prenatal diagnostics, mr. lewis know even younger, there's nothing less. what we're seeing is a really just harsh to take control of our health care system. what does that mean? i'll give you a practical example that in the last seal region, the entire system of prenatal diagnostics is religious. that means that the present time in last few, we don't have a single, secular in shoot inducting prenatal diagnostics effect on the fetus. is that 3 feet access to abortion? and to advice beyond the moral teachings of the church in italy, dance tricky. in germany, things haven't been getting easy either. abortion is technically illegal. however,
2:22 am
if women seek advice from an official counseling service, they are allowed to terminate a pregnancy within the 1st 12 weeks. but the number of doctors willing to actually provide abortions are rapidly declining 2 decades ago, some 2050 doctors and clinics provided abortions in germany. now that number is down by almost half. take munster, for example, one of the largest doctors who provided abortions recently retired. now the student city faces an even greater shortage. just to doctors offer abortions had despite the large student population in catholic monster, many are against the right to terminate the pregnancy. the 1000 crosses march takes place here. every year. christians conduct

2:24 am
a frequent situation in munster, this mother from munster wanted an abortion and discovered just how difficult it is to find a doctor to carry it out. she wishes to remain anonymous. i sat down with my husband one evening and googled abortion monster, and there were no results. so then i looked at the websites, if gynecology clinics, and there was nothing. we couldn't believe it. we thought we might be looking in the wrong place. in any case, when we were at the counseling session, which was supposed to take us through all our options, we were told in no uncertain terms. this is not about helping you with any practical steps for getting an abortion the mother of to made her decision. another child would simply be too much for the family. at the counseling session. she and her husband were questioned about their choice, but they weren't given any addresses. eventually they found the 2 months debased
2:25 am
doctors, but both were on vacation. so the mother of 2 travelled, 100 kilometers to be lafelle, where she received r u for 86, the abortion pill. you take the 1st pill there and then you go home. actually, i had to go straight to work because i couldn't take the day off and you take the 2nd pill a few days later at home. after that, she returned to bill a fouled for a check up. it turned out that although the fetus was no longer viable, the amniotic sac was still there that could have led to an infection. so a cure, a tosh was needed. the procedure could be carried out in munster at the catholic hospital, but no one should be told about the abortion pills advised her doctor in bill of held on the referral notes. she wrote that
2:26 am
a cure tash was necessary, but not because of any termination. she made it very clear to me that i shouldn't say a word about it. to this day she feels too ashamed to talk to anyone about the abortion as it is glover. and i think there's a total lack of debate within society on this year. this is t mountain dish law. and i also think that society isn't aware of the difficulties women still face to this day. upon among those difficulties, protests outside counseling centers in germany. it monster these take place on the 22nd day of each month. had its 5 mile allison. and as i've clashed with pro lifers who forced their way into our office twice at home and on friday afternoons, when i just happened to be on my own, i had trouble getting them to leave quantity to. it was very unsettling treatments . it was cancelled when a highly,
