ah, ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin. the u. s. supreme court overturns the landmark roe v wade link, which said, abortion was a constitutional right. the decision paves the way for individual states to make laws on abortion, and roughly half are expected to ban will severely limit access to the procedure. also on the program, ukraine, orders its troops out of severe. i've done yet. after weeks of fighting authority, you say, trying to defend their positions no longer makes sense. as russia ramps up,

if attacks on the city and response teams raised to reach survivors of afghanistan's deadliest earthquake in decades, 8 is now trickling into the remote mountain region. the people say more help is urgently needed. ah, i manuscripts mckinnon. welcome to the program. we start the show with breaking news because the u. s. supreme court has overturned the landmark roe v wade decision that declared abortion to be a constitutional right. now that ruling has divided the country ever since it was handed down 50 years ago. along political and religious lines, republican house minority leader kevin mccarthy praised the decision, tweeting every unborn mild is precious, extraordinary,

and worthy of protection. i appealed this historic ruling which will save countless innocence lives. democratic how speak and nancy pelosi criticized the decision saying it was an attack on health, freedom with roe, and their attempt to destroy it. radical republicans are charging ahead with their crusade to criminalize health freedom in the congress. be aware of this, the republicans are plotting a nation wide abortion ban. they cannot be allowed to have a majority in the congress to do that. but that's their goal. and if you read and again, we're all studying all this, but if you read what is in a very clear one of the justices had his own statement. it's about contraception. in vitro fertilization,

family planning. that is all levels spring from their decision that they made today. it's more on this decision. we can cross now to the w. washington bureau chief in his paul, who's standing outside the u. s. supreme court in his tell us what exactly does this mean for women in the us right now? well, i think it is important for our international audience to understand that abortion is not banned in the united states with this ruling, but the protection is taken away. so it's no up to the states to decide whether abortion is still legal and how far into pregnancy. we know that already 26, the state will ban or restrict abortion than the foreseeable future. and there are already 16 states, or which will kind of forbid abortion within the next se,

some states as kentucky, for example, band abortion right away. so imagine you have had an abortion day this morning at 8 . now you can get it done any more. we just heard some reactions from politicians, it's of a see such a divisive issue. tell us how the public is reacting to this. it is one of the most divisive decisions in this whole country. it's a very emotional, it's a very moral decision. and we can feel that here. now as the ruling is out for some hours, more and more people coming in front of the supreme court to making their weiss is heard as for now, it's more people who are in favor of abortion rights. but officials tell us that they expect also a pro abortion band people here, and they are actually really getting ready or getting prepared for some riots happening tonight. maybe here in washington, but all the so across the country. because again, this is such such

a politicized. and such a divisive issue here in the united states, not the supreme courts, and now has a majority of conservative judges. we just heard nancy pelosi saying that this decision could have further reaching consequences. so could other controversial rights gay marriage, for example. the next that is a big fear indeed, now with $6.00 to $3.00 conserve, 6 conservative and of 3 or more liberal judges. it is very likely that other protection laws such as gay marriage fall, for example, are at stake. and you know, what is really alarming for the gay community or the market, good liberal community said supreme court justice thomas already just minutes ago to be towed or that gay rights might be at stake as well. so this is not only a theoretical thread, this is the real real threat. in his poll in washington

d. c. thank you very much. european union leaders have wrapped up that summer in brussels, which so you crane and moldova approved as candidates to join the group. german chance that we'll have shots welcomed what he called the historic vote, but he said it was now time for a new chapter. so that western ball can, nations can also see their beds, the application move forward. he acknowledge that any expansion meant the use internal decision making processes would need to be performed. yes, yes. yes, yes. yeah, we demonstrators, outside the you council building here in brussels, found their views reflected by the 27 european leaders meeting inside. all of them agreed to grant ukraine e u candidate status, along with moldova french president emanuel my call spoke glowingly after the vote . the pewter pub usual to come from from day one of this conflict,

europe has been reacting in a quick historic and united way body's function. firstly was the sanctions as then economic, military and financial support. laguna made it annoyed with this political gesture, im not suggested, but he think the decision did not come as a surprise. mccall, along with 2 other powerful you leaders, germany, zoloft shots and italy's mario draggy had travelled to keep earlier in june, where they endorsed ukraine's e. u membership bid. many of the leaders acknowledged that russia's invasion played a large role in their decision making. these put the whole european union in such a motion, they will, we see is a result of totally new i would say utmost within the european council. it's is, i would say this is a new european council at this moment. it's clear ukraine will have to fulfill a long list of criteria before being able to enter the union,

a process that could take years even decades. but the possibility of a lengthy waste didn't dampen the spirits of ukraine's president who thank the council by a video link, whatever quality them as. and i was recently yaviagiss your property, and i believe that the flag of the european union will fly in every ukrainian city that we have to liberate from russian occupation. great. the ukrainian and european flags will be together when we rebuild our country together after this war. from the slits ye lini ross, you leaders will also have to discuss whether the union is even able to welcome new family members anytime soon. many here in brussels agree the block needs internal reform 1st. so europe can compete on the world stage. and believe the war raging on its doorstep makes this even more urgent. alara's back to the deadly is marina strauss in brussels. i asked her about a key takeaways gemini, chancellor shaw says, address following the ease on it. left shelves repeated

a few words. he already mentioned this morning when he arrived at the council building here in brussels and he said, yes, the day is so on thursday night we heard 27 times. yes, 27 times. yes. when it comes to granting your candidate status to your grain and also to moulder why and this was clear, the most important decision, the most important event at this to de summit, it was a historic decision, a decision that shows that ukraine is part of the european family, mulder wise, well, and it was those so clear signs towards russia that, that you, well comes ukraine and mold away in their midst. what are the other key messages that we can take from what he said? another very important issue that was discussed, especially today is the economic situation in europe in the you at the moment

a so car chancellor, will have shells said that of course the war has so severe consequences for the european economy, especially when so when it comes to energy prices we've been, we've seen prices as soaring over the last months. it has been increasingly difficult for many citizens, especially those who don't have a lot of money in their, in their purses and are short said that, of course, despite this issue, the you countries also especially germany, have to work towards becoming an independent of fresh and fossil fuels because at this point they are still very dependent and also have to work or do more to forster to have more renewable sources in europe. did schoultz acknowledge that although this is of course a path to candidacy, there's still a lot of internal restructuring and that the you need to tackle before ukraine can

become a member state. did acknowledge that he did. he did so this morning and then reset it again in his press conference, the chest a bit ago. and he said that internal reforms are so badly needed. it's so difficult at the moment to find decisions, for example, on migration policy, but also on foreign policy and fiscal policy. because in these fields all 27 you members, states have to agree and you can imagine the how difficult it is to bring so many different points of fuse and are under one table in and, and it's very difficult to, to, to take decisions that something that has to change, he deluge marina strauss and brussel. thank you so much. ukraine has ordered the withdrawal of its troops from the eastern city of severe done yet scoff weeks of faith fighting against russian forces. that's according to the regional governor that are capturing severity announced in the dumbass area,

is central to russia's push to seize the large slave of land in eastern ukraine. regional authorities say fighting is intensifying and no town in the eastern region is safe for residence. civilian evacuations are increasing. meanwhile, ukrainian troops have repelled a russian attack on the southern outskirts of nearby list a chance, which is the last fully ukrainian controlled city in the region of low hunt. ukraine is losing ground in the east. this town near the city of las a chance has been devastated by shelling russian forces or concentrating the overwhelming fire bar on what is last major ukrainian held city in the province of lou hands. they have already seen control of its due in cities. soviet don, it's forcing ukraine's troops to retreat. in order to avoid encirclement of weeks

of treat by st. combat to just start your thoughts are good. you to post another. there's no sense staying in opposition to music or been destroyed during many months of fighting with gibson. ye me at some loosely but the most. we do the number of casualties in the poorly fortified areas will grow every day by the mobile opening and therefore the decision was made for the sake of the defenders who are there or should put it on record. so yeah, about share it with them about was back unless a chance many civilians are being taken to safety but not everyone wants to leave us up. so it's the ukranian army shooting at us. it is them that kill our children or not that we want to be united with the russians, not the germans in europe, in reports from the region are causing concern in the neighboring donates region. the region governor is what it about for the russian advance nemiah's road. no, i miss those are us. there is no place,

no town in the genetic region that is safe. yokohama, blue bus play, taking into consideration that i have intelligence data, and i understand where the danger lies. not, but i'm okay. and that was questioning. i have deliberately mentioned slogans, can cram, a tourist will show summer because that will be the direction where the enemy will be moving. not comfortable. oh, this does, some people might be loyal to the russians solid. they said, look, what, believe me, when the cities are destroyed, hello, yes. can this loyalty disappears and people understand menu is the main thing is not to understand too late. i mean, yeah. and then below is another fisma. seizing that when city has been a key goal of russia, as it pushes farther into your green's industrial heartland. i spoke to the dublin correspondent nick connelly earlier, and i asked him about the significance of the ukrainian retreat from severe it on yet. this is obviously a big deal. definitely. this is talk news here in ukraine,

but it's on an expected think the crane government has prepared public opinion and world opinion even for this 4 weeks now. and distress you will, along as basically been to make the russians pay as high price possible for the smallest possible gains. similar to what we saw in mario will really make them fight for every street for every meter of ground. and hope that basically they exhaust themselves in the situation where obviously they still have huge superiority in terms of the weapons available. and we've heard different figures. ukrainian government figures talking about 10 times more artillery in the russian or the russian side than on the ukrainian side. so you can really having to choose it's battles carefully and to use what little equipment it has as cleverly as possible. now they've made the decision to withdraw from sort of this concern, i guess from this a shouts to in the hope that they will minimize losses. to their own forces and really are give themselves a chance of continuing this battled without losing in uncontrolled and kind of dangerous, chaotic way. it's 4 months to the day since russia launched its invasion. can you

describe for us how ukraine has changed in that time and that the likelihood that it can keep that facing the way that it is? this is a colossal blow to the country. millions people have left and many women and children are now in neighboring countries in safety. it's seen it's economy destroyed. some estimate say up to about 50 percent of g d p. down just over the last 4 months, compared to where we were before the 24th of february. but on the other hand, ukraine is not seeing any lack of people willing to fight. the ukrainian military authorities have more people want to sign up than they actually have equipment for . and that is going to be the real problem going forward at seeing if we can get those western equipments supplies in fast enough to really take the advantage. take the initiative, wants those russian offensives right of steam. what's the russians run out of

energy and supplies and manpower, and for now it's coming, but it's not coming fast enough and then there's of seed dislike. let's go back to lots. people are now very tired, they've been living off the savings living from day to day, unable to make plans for months. there's a clip doing the rounds on social media here in ukraine today. and taking by someone from their window of children in the yard, just playing checkpoints, playing soldiers than the air raid sirens come on in their town. and suddenly the king kids start seeing the national anthem books, that's what normally happens when air raid sirens come on on the radio that they have on. here's the out them. so busy yourself. the people are now realizing that their children are growing up in one that war has become the norm for a whole generation of ukrainian children. so definitely a fear of where this will lead a fear of how long this will go on. but no, since the people here are ready to give up or to give in to russia, demands nick connelly and key. thank you for your recording. germany is hosting talks a day aimed at tackling the looming global food crisis or in ukraine has led to rising food prices and shortages around the world,

especially in countries that were already struggling to feed their populations. cannon foreign affairs minister and alina bab book spoke to the media ahead of the conference. let's take a lesson. a since nish will not. is anthony 1000 a since we are not talking about hundreds of thousands i. we are talking about millions of people. there are 345000000 women children and man worldwide, who are facing an acute shortage a flight. oh, we are facing a famine crisis that confronts us, like a threatening wave to and i asked was, learn russia that said when ukraine has turned this way into a su nami. since the beginning of the war, prices for grain world wide, have one smart shut up in you who the chosen a baby hayley gabriel is the assistant director general of the united nations food and agriculture organization and its regional representative for africa. his, his assessment of how african countries are coping with the food crisis. at the

moment, if you look at the full class situation in africa, and we have a recent report by a feel and w b, younger sports hot or to report a published in june, 6 of the top 10 countries and most affected by hunger are in africa and they make up for 14 of the top 20 countries globally in the horn of africa region, a wars drought in for decades, as exposed up to 20000000 people to hunger in 2022. in the us, i'll end west africa. more than 40000000 people face acute food insecurity this year, and this is significant jump from cities, their goal, the figures, there was about 11000000 people. so african countries have to grapple with multiple shocks. climate extremes, plant best and diseases, economic slowdowns, conflicts that are all over the place among others. and what matter might make matters worse, is that mechanisms and capacities to mitigate this multiple shocks are either

a week or non existent in many instances. in fact, the recovery from the social economic impacts of cov 19, has been quite a challenge in africa. and in this context, the impact of that a shot you can work to have significant impact. the countries are trying their best, but they are very much constraint to afghanistan now, where taliban officials say that they had ended their search for survivors. after wednesday's powerful earthquake, at least 1000 people were killed. many move were injured. fresh tremors struck the same remote area in the countries east earlier on friday, killing 58 groups on our rushing to get sued tense and medical supplies to the region. up to a rock, mine has seen so much in his life. but the pain after the earthquake closer, but it is almost too much. this is what's left of his home

is 13 legs on de la quake happen certainly at night our houses were destroyed. 12 people for my family were killed, one and my purpose will hurt her. who are the people killed the money to my wife's, my brother's money, to some elders. and one of my sons removed gunnery him as i slowly at a creeping pace. in fact, aide is making its way to the areas that are most difficult to reach red, waiting for that aid at children like najia and her brother sitting on the rubble of what was their home. they lost their mother and 2 sisters. untold numbers of children have helped bury parents and elders and parents have very children who abdulla bed last 13 members of his family, including children who live where afghan helicopters can land, food,

water and medicine have already arrived. also importantly, who have lost their homes and their loved ones. i mean, yeah, bottom, earlier i spoke to friends, massey has a gen list based in kabul, and i asked him for an update on the latest developments following the quake today the morning to has been another of quaker you as jo, logical serv, age today didn't meet onshore in neighboring pocky song. i'm the sharks have not been that severe. it's on clear how these 5 people that were reported were killed. 2 or 3 people from the area that i spoke to said to them, it was like minor and didn't had any major consequences. why have authorities enough canister now? ended the search for survivors to have all ready about 24 hours off to the earthquake. said that 90 percent of the rescuer operation is done and they say all the houses have been cleared where people who are they have been dug out,

dead or alive in this regard. it should be remembered that houses in this area of the country are pretty simple. so ducking away debris is, is not as difficult as if it were like a big city with concrete buildings. we're hearing that the taliban government has issued an official appeal for medical supplies. is that rice and how surprising is that they have issued also general appeal. that aid is necessary. countries have responded to that. they have already done this right off to the earthquake. so this is correct, this is not completely new because it's all about already before because of the general situation. appeal to the international community for help, which should be noted is that sometimes it's all about then don't follow through. i know from one and you has medical supplies in call in the airport, but hold on customs are looking to release of this since month for unclear reasons

. not li rescue operation is obviously a major test to the there is lumniss taliban. it's ok. the power last year. how would you say that their coping with was quite frankly, an enormous task to some extent they have coped well. for example, they have quite quickly sent helicopters to ambulances that the army and the police has to the scene. they have tried to respond false, they have also immediately appealed for help because their capacities are not sufficient. on the other hand, according nation wise, i have heard reports that are big problems that ministries totally won't always cooperating with each other political bickering every want. but he wants to be the hero that goes there 1st and saves people and not to coordinate to aid in a general way nazi and capital. thank you for the iraq war of 2003 and the sectarian violence that followed

a claimed countless casualties. and among them were a number of young soccer players. his careers were cut short after they lost limbs and bombings. but now in iraq, he amputee seen, is giving them the chance to reignite their love of the game. giving it another shot. ali cassim lost his left leg in a baghdad carbon in 26. then aged just 22. he thought his football career was over, but the iraqi amputee team has given him back his pride. knowing that about what i'm married with 4 children, my family are the ones who pack my sports bag. they tell me, daddy, go and train. my morale has totally lifted wife a little. the team was founded last year by mohammed ali shar, who was made aware of the portsmouth on petty team while studying in england. and decided to take the idea to iraq. he wasn't short of applications for men whose lives have been scarred by war and on with our that in our mission has become to

restore morale and activity to amputees. yes. yes. why, as we made sacrifices in the past you, this in law will continue to do so for the success of the sport highway and to raise iraq's profile is doing. doing so has not been easy. a lack of official recognition from iraqi sporting bodies means no funding. so for transport and equipment, the team must depend on donations. who hadn't, on milligan, had no clue so far. they've not given us official recognition. even though our team represents iraq and has achieved many things up on that. so unfortunately, they did not give us any local recognition so that we can ask for support. we have also not received any budget from the government amendment lufkin a jackal yet, but improvising in the face of adversity is what these men do. and the team has given them the camaraderie that all nasha says has helped. many of them recover from longstanding mental health issues. set you up to date,
