and here you see the results. clinical edmond, if we had more weapon citizens, but we would get more results with as brewing, that will, they should be sh. it is the wish, the u. s. is only too happy to oblige etiquette. secret on tuesday, the house of representatives emphatically approved of $40000000000.00 aid package for ukraine. paving the way form or weapon deliveries. on this vote, the a's are 368, the nase are 57. the bill is past that house be can nancy pelosi affirmed u. s. commitment to ukraine's war effort. it's about democracy versus a dictator. ship democracy must prevail. the ukrainian people are fighting the fight for their democracy. and in doing so, for ours is, well, russian forces have not given up their push into ukraine's don bus region. but the progress is incremental as best as western weapons continue to point to ukraine,

meant and could soon begin to shift sh. as joanna correspondent, i'm in a safe and vivian weston ukraine. welcome. i mean that let's start with president salons. his claims for of our ousted russian troops from key cities in the north east. what do you hear or the claim as an exuberant one, phil and that is that for a village is around the city of harkins have been liberated from russian forces. keep in mind, harkey is the 2nd largest city in ukraine. so a lot of people in ukraine are looking for a kind of mirror image and what happened in kia, where a just weeks ago, russian forces were pushed out of the surrounding area and then decided to move all the way out east. so a lot of ukrainians are hoping that this sends a signal that russia will now have to give up its pursuit of har keith. it's located in the east, but it's not in the already controlled area. russian controlled areas of the don

bass. so this is an area that russia really badly wants to control in order to get more than it already had in terms of the area that it had occupied at as of 2014. so zalinski has called this a turning point, but a lot of people are looking for more evidence that russia has really given up on taking ukraine 2nd largest city. harkey. phil, let's, let's turn our attention then to cast on in the south, which is occupied by russian troops. and we're hearing that the moscow appointed officials that are asking president putin to annexed the territory. zalinski was furious about this news. he said that this would throw peace talks into jeopardy because that a basis for peace from a few weeks into the war was always that as long as russia would move back toward the areas that had already occupied previous to this, this year's invasion of ukraine. then they could have a foundation for of a ceasefire. so ending this conflict as we know it. but if russia starts to take

territories like harrison and to officially officially annexed them into russia than zalinski said, this would basically wipe away all of the progress that they've made in peace talks thus far. now what we've heard is from the area, is that the, the forces that are occupying the territory, which is supported by russia. they have asked moscow to annexed the territory by the end of the year. but that has not been confirmed. there are no plans yet. of what so lensky is calling a fake referendum. okay, so am but of hopeful ukrainians in the north, the few setbacks and in the south are out of people there, fill this war is going there's adamant certainty here in western ukraine, especially that ukraine will win this war in the long term. now people are very vague about what that means. a lot of people say that the now that russia has invaded they, they want to take crimea back, that they will not give any,

not an inch of their territory to russia now. but others say that in the long run, it doesn't matter what russia does, even if russia is able to occupy certain areas of this country. ukrainians are ukrainians, and they're going to take their country back eventually. now what's happening in the east is hard to say and is occupied territories. a lot of ukrainians have kind of given up to the russians, have accepted that they're part of an occupied territory and trying to move on with their lives. but a lot of people you talked to in western ukraine are certain that the country cannot be divided and that will see a victory in and for ukraine. thank you for that data. be correspondent. i'm as safe in the v. well, i mean it's been busy, he's also been to a border crossing at where near poland to wear a long line of causes built up on the polish side as drivers wait, as long as 3 days to enter ukraine or some refugees returning home. now the war has

moved eastwards, but the main reasons for the long queues is thought to be because of a change in ukrainian law. that lots of people a came to take advantage of the car after car from nearly 3 kilometers like the scenes on the border just after the russian invasion began with thousands waiting to get out of ukraine. but this line is waiting to get in by foot. the crossing takes about 15 minutes. those hoping to cross in a vehicle. don't have it so easy. yet this been a 2 and a half days now. dog. yeah. yeah, there. we want to drive the car and into odessa to think of the film nadisa that soon for my friend mine a compet. they call this because you don't have to be tara kind of sold beside. there's no tariffs now, as i keep going. in early april, the ukrainian government slashed taxes on importing private cars by

a lot. taxes that used to nearly double the price of the vehicle disappeared overnight. spokes person of the v customs service tells me that in the 1st month after the past, 12000 vehicles were imported in the levine, 0 blast alone, 6 times the number imported in the same period last year. that she says was the plan stored in the dollars to list the law was created to stimulate ukrainian businesses which need to be able to operate in war time. so they can support the economy and pay taxes with the killer service buzz machine and all levels. this morning it also helps people who lost their cars, or if someone has an old car, they can buy a new one without being taxed for that. even while the taxes have been dropped, imported cars still need to be registered at this customs office in ukraine. the weight continued another half a day. if you're lucky for those here it's worth the trouble. most santa number

3, we need a car in case the situation escalates. so i can take my wife and my kids abroad, recorded on the pickup and job, but give, let you know. and i don't recall. i waited for 2 days on the border. well, a day and a half. this was, it was difficult physically as a woman to drive for such a long time. oh, if there was a traffic jam was very hard. i won't do it a 2nd time. over $200.00 newly registered cars will drive off this lot today. some of them with 1st time owners who never thought a car would be in the city, let alone a matter of survival. as if reporting not to salon where security forces have been ordered to crack down on riotous following this week, said deadly unrest as pro government groups attached to protesters called the resignation of president to go to buy a roger pack. so they blame president for a dead crisis that's left based lanchen economy in turmoil. his brother,

the prime minister, resigned on monday and has gone into hiding a show of force in the capital colombo, the troops now authorized to shoot any one deemed to be taking part in the violence that's gripped sri lanka since monday. that's when sean's like this began unfolding supporters of sri lanka, as ruling party attacking, antique government, demonstrators, the opposition people's liberation front planes. now former prime minister may hinder roger pack, sir, for the shift in goes in full protests were peaceful protests. there was no violence, there was no rioting. the protests were aimed at specific demands of the people when former prime minister may hinder roger pox. launched a planned attack on these peaceful protests he should have known and there would be a reaction to that. my luck, sheila does it is inside of a product like along,

but the premier quitting has fail to quell anger over a spiraling economic crisis. protestors want his brother, president, go to bay a raj, a poxy scene here on the right to also step down. all these demonstrators have gathered outside the presidential office in colombo, despite massive security presence. they're determined to make their voices heard. right now, mother, there's a little don. this struggle is being pushed in a different direction after the inhumane incidence. this week the government is trying to turn our peaceful protest into a violent struggle. we experienced that yesterday, and we're seeing that on social media. but we believe we can only win this fight through non violent, peaceful protest. sorry, her family, ah, we're done,

nothing correctly, but for now a tense con prevails as troops set up checkpoints and patrol the streets, but their presence is also raising fears of a military take over. if 3 lancoste political crisis isn't resolved soon. a here, civil stores at making headlines today. fragile authorities have opened an investigation into torture allegations against interpol president, i met nasa al, right. you see, case has been filed against the top united arab emirates official by 2 britons. they were detained in the emeralds before al, right. he was elected president of the france based world police agency in november last year. please in our media, have to take more than 60 people during the protest in the capitol. hundreds months to get a van calling for the prime minister's resignation and nicole, a passion has faced criticism for signing a peace deal with neighboring azerbaijan. in 2020, after more than 6 weeks of war,

azerbaijan claimed several territories from army. well, bodies have been found in the rubble of a collapsed hotel in cuba. capital 42 people died when an explosion destroyed the saratoga in havana. a spokesperson for the hospital, for the hotels operator says many of the victims stuff international news broadcast. the al jazeera says, israeli troops of shot and killed one of their journalists in the occupied west bank. 3 o'clock had been covering and is ready military right. in the janine refugee camp al jazeera said she was shot while wearing a press flak jacket and accuses israel. israeli forces deliberately targeting her israeli prime minister, natalie bennett, refutes this, saying was probably killed by palestinian gunfire. the w correspondent, tanya kraemer in jerusalem told me more when suddenly a very i shocking event,

the exact circumstances of what happened this morning in the palestinian in, in that in the noise of the occupied westbank on what he had clear, the initial investigations. now just starting now the new spoke this morning on that al jazeera correspondent and colleague as sharina, aclu was killed a why that she said, covering and is rarely ami operation in the janine refugee camp there. and they're conflicting reports about what happened now. the palestinian ministry of health has said she was killed by gunshots in her head. she died soon afterwards as also a 2nd. palestinian journalist was in a group of journalists covering her who was shot in the back. this a statement that he is said to be in stable condition. now the cutter based al jazeera network for whom she worked for many, many years, has named israel for, for the death of, for their reporter. the israeli military has said in his statement,

they're denying that they have targeted journalists and they are saying they're looking into the possibility that journalists were hit by palestinian gunmen. however, there were other palestinian journalists there in a, in a group of turn. the say have said as i witness given eye witness accounts to the a p news agency and also saying that there were clearly marked as press or with blue or black jackets. right. and what is the investigation into that likely to report while we understand that there's really foreign minister has that a has offered to the palestinian authority, at least in a statement that there should be a join pathological investigation into the said death as he said it to establish what happened and the journalist must be protected in conflicts and we are waiting

to hear whether such a joint investigation or will actually happening happen. these really all me has started an initial investigation as we understand. but of course, you know, there lot of reactions still coming in since the morning we heard from the un special envoy to the middle east or when his lunch, also calling for an investigation, be heard back from the us ambassador to, to israel. she was also you as a citizen, that there needs to be an investigation on death. of course, a lot of shock among her colleagues in ramallah, but also in the foreign press in the press and to reach him because he was a very well known a well established and very experienced journalist covering here for the our big language channel for as a 0 for many, many years. tony coma and jerusalem of democratic lawmakers at midnight. it stayed . so trying to secure federal abortion, rives by bringing a bill to the fund, moves largely symbolic as they lock the numbers to voted through democrats or

trying to head off. a supreme court decision was expected to overturn the court previous landmark ruling on this issue. but the supreme court's ruling on roe vs wade was a landmark decision. effectively legalizing abortion across the united states, it focused on jane ro, in reality. norma mccovie a texas woman seeking in abortion. but as state law only allowed it in cases where the mother's life was in danger, she was denied her case was picked up by a civil rights lawyer is looking to challenge state anti abortion laws. in january 1973, the justices ruled 7 to 2. that a woman's right to privacy superseded estates, right? to ban abortion. the decision set off a fierce legal battle, which has become increasingly partisan. after ro, the republicans added an anti abortion stands to their platform. an effort to enlist support from the religious right?

during the trump presidency, a major victory for republicans looking to tilt the balance of the supreme court in just 4 years, he was able to appoint 3 justices giving the court a $63.00 conservative majority during their senate hearings, each appointee was asked about row and each said they would follow precedence but now it seems the court is poised to overturn roe in a leak draft opinion on a case concerning a mississippi abortion ban. justice samuel elite o calls ro egregiously wrong from the start. the court is expected to issue a ruling by the end of june, and if row is overturned, the effects will be immediate. with some 26 out of 50 states set to ban or restrict abortion. that's galvanizing democrats who want to keep abortion legal. a position

recent polls suggest is supported by some 60 percent of americans. let's get more from date of washington bureau chief in his po, welcome a illness. so is this why abortion rights are in front of the u. s. senate today because of this, this looming decision yeah, right. filament, it isn't a kind of her, it's um, it's a complicated issue. we have to keep in mind that this world is kind of to stay and to fail. why? because the democrats do not have the necessary 60 roads to pass this law that would codify abortion, protections into federal law with the supreme court, which is as we just heard, points to strike down roe vs wade. so the question here is, why are they doing it anyhow? well, with limited options, available, democrats are hoping to put every senator on the record and how they feel about

this subject. and this matter is because the latest polls, as we just heard, prove that the majority of the americans is actually still for abortion rights, right. as we just heard in the report, we know which way the supreme court is leaving just reminders of what happened this month. well, it was her last me week when the american youth website political really dropped a bombshell by leaking a draft of a supreme court majority opinion that revealed that the court was just about to overturn roe vs wade. this is this land mount mark position, and that legalized abortion nationwide in the united states in 1973. so we all know a fil, not only from the watergate scandal that leaking information to the press has kind of a long tradition here in the us, by the leak from the supreme court is really unprecedented in modern history. and

is yet another proof that not even the supreme court, this is the highest court in the country, a can stay out of this toxic political and cultural war which is going on here in the united states. and despite the way that public opinion is going, this is a divisive issue, and the stakes really are enormous. they indeed, ah, fill i so is roe vs wade will be overturned. it's then up to the states to decide whether abortion will be legal or not. and as we also heard us, we're now $26.00 states already are expected to ban or restrict access to abortion . if a, a roby rate is over taught turn, and this will force pregnant woman to travel may be 100 of, of miles or for abortion care. and even women who got raped in some a states. so a clinics in a neighboring states are already as

a neighboring states who are still permitting abortion or would still permit abortion are already preparing for a surgeon patients from their neighboring states to take care of. and phil, i did some stories about a woman who told me their story, who got draped by their fathers. and the only help was really getting an abortion to get back into their regular live. and in countries like taxes, they would be not able to get an abortion. and this is what is at stake right now here in the united states in the year 2022. i think of that are in a serious poll in washington. take over some sport and we'll start with football. english premier ships i there. manchester city of agree to sign. dorman strike, alec holland. on the 1st of july, the norwegian is one of the most wanted place in the world is contract means he could leave the german club this summer for 75000000 euro transfer fee. his wage
