ah ah ah ah, this is the w news live from berlin. the u. s. supreme court overturns the land mark roe v wade ruling, which said abortion was constitutional, right? the decision paves the way for individual states to make laws on abortion, and roughly half are expected to band or severely limit access to the procedure.

also on the program, ukraine, orders its troops out. the eastern city of severe are done yet after weeks of fighting authorities say trying to defend their positions no longer makes sense. as russia ramped up, it's attacks. ah, i minute cooper's cannon. welcome to the program. the u. s. supreme court has overturned the landmark roe v wade assertion 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 a political and religious lines. republican house minority leader kevin mccarthy praised the decision, tweeting every unborn child is precious, extraordinary, and worthy of protection. i applaud this historic ruling which will save countless

innocent lives. president joe biden criticized the surgeon saying it was the result of his predecessors appointments to the court. make no mistake. this decision is a combination of a deliberate effort over decades of said, balance of our law to realization of an extreme ideology in a tragic error by the supreme court. in my view, the coroner's dawn was never done before expressly take away a constitution, right? that is so fundamental, so many americans already been recognized. as more on this, we can cross now to d. w 's, a washington bureau chief in his paul, who is standing outside the u. s. supreme court in his tell us what exactly does this mean for women in the us right now? well, it basically means that the protection of the right to have an abortion is taken

away. this is important to understand for all our international audience. it's not that abortion is illegal, but the nationwide protection is taken away. and now it's up to the states to decide whether an abortion can be done and how long into a pregnancy. and as for now, we know from $26.00 states, which will overturn that right in there already. 16 states or so, which have trigger laws in place so called triggers laws which make abortion illegal right away. so for example, if you would live in kentucky and you would have had an abortion appointment this morning at 8, now you can get an abortion done. so this will have immediate effects on millions of american women. we can see the protests happening there in washington. this is such an emotional issue. can you give us a sense of how divided the american public really is on this this is one of the most emotional, moral and divisive issues since

a decade. i'm in or you see that behind me more and more people are coming in front of the supreme court. you know, this is a friday. people are working, they didn't know that this ruling was coming out, but we heard from officials said they are really getting prepared for possible riots here in washington. but all across the country. why? because the majority of the american people, just as the president said, is for abortion rights. but as the supreme court just right behind me is dominated by very, very conservative justices. they basically ruled against the will of the majority of the american people. now the supreme court now has a majority of conservative judges, as he said, chris, ex worry, that this decision is only the beginning, possibly of a more sweeping rollback. right? absolutely, that's a huge, huge rory here in the united states, especially

a supreme court justice thomas already calls for the court to overrule the protection of gay marriage also to overrule the right to contraception and also, and i quote this year make annual and oral sexy legal that's also kind of turning against the gay community. so there is a huge concern that this is really the beginning of a new era here in this country. in his poll in washington dc. thank you so much. ukraine has ordered the withdrawal of its troops from the east and ceci of severe done yet scoffed the weeks of fist fighting against russian forces. not according to the regional governor that capturing so very unusual authority, say, fight thing 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 near by, lucy chanced,

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 ukrainian army shooting at us. it is them that kill our children. not that we want to be united with the russians, not the germans in europe, and union reports from the region of causing concern in the neighboring donates region. the region governor is what it about for the russian and once nemiah's road . nor mister zara. sir, there is no place, no town in the genetic region that is safe. yokohama below, was play, taking into consideration that i have intelligence data. and i understand where the danger lies. nobody mckeyan was questioning. i have deliberately mentioned slow vianza can cram a torque commercial summer because that will be the direction where the enemy will be moving. not comfortable. oh this, that some people might be loyal to the russians solid. they said, look, what,

believe me, when the cities are destroyed, hello, yes. then this loyalty disappears and people understand, man, you are, the main thing is not to understand too late. i mean, down there below is, are not the business. seizing that when city has been a key goal of russia, as it pushes farther into ukraine's industrial heartland. germany is hosting talks to de aimed at tackling the looming global food crisis. the war in ukraine has led to rise in food prices and shortages around the world, especially in countries that were already struggling to feed their populations. chapman foreign affairs minister and alina babcock, spoke to the media head of the conference. take a listen. as in nick will not isn't me. how isn't it since we are not talking about hundreds of thousands, we are talking about millions of people. there are 345000000 women children and man worldwide, who are facing an acute shortage of flight. we are facing

a famine crisis that confronts us, like a threatening wave. i asked was that russia, jacqueline ukraine, has turned this way into a soon army. since the beginning of the war, prices for grain worldwide have once more shut up the ocean. hydrogen is canada's minister of international development and minister responsible for the pacific economic development agency of canada. and he took part in today's conference on 3rd security here in berlin. welcome to d. w. can i ask if you agree with the german foreign minister analynn a bad book who is accusing russia of and i quote here using hunger as a weapon and taking the world hostage absolutely completely agree. vladimir putin were, has not only caused needless suffering for the cranium population, but it's now on creating famine for the developing world. and just in the last few days or russia has targeted green facilities that would be destined

to developing countries. so yes, they need to be held accountable. very flood report needs to be held accountable for this issue of skyrocketing food prices is worrying many here in europe. it, of course the effects will be felt even more strongly in the global south. what can countries there do if anything, to prepare themselves? and sadly, i mean, last amo's in berlin at the d 7 meeting, i had an opportunity to travel to the some of the african nations and see 1st hand the impact on the food security crisis and consumer refugee camp in kenya, they had to cut the rations by 50 percent, so they're getting a 1000 calories per day. right now, this is unacceptable. and so this is why i one think, or germany for convening us are today to discuss how we can come together nations. how can we work with multi level organizations?

how can we ramp up food production and resiliency on the african continent and plus in the global? so to the lock in be done, our prime minister just announced the additional $250000000.00 for the humanitarian crisis. i. now we need to come together even more coordinator work, so that we can help save lives in grove. can you understand the anger that is felt in some african countries? you know that they have nothing to do with the war in ukraine, but they're bearing the brunt of the global effects. absolutely, i can understand and their anger, the, this is a sole responsibility of lighter. we are putting not allowing the green to come out of the front from the ports. he is purposely blocking access to food, purposely allowing people to die. and this is wrong and he needs to be held accountable for this, or we can understand the anger, but will mess one message that we want to send or to global. so that,

that we are obviously greatly focused on the, the war in ukraine and supporting ukraine for we're not going to forget about the crisis that's also taking place. this is why kander and many other nations have come together to make sure that we provide immediate support, but also look at a longer term solution to create long term sustainability and resiliency and from systems for the african content. and yet, some african governments are saying, you know, be quicker. and if the sanctions imposed on russia were lifted and then they could get grain again. what, what would you say to that? well 1st of all, this is vladimir putin are his own info ups of trying to blame on the sanctions. no one is there are no sanctions on our fertilizer arm and green to to go out. so that's one thing. ok, this is his way of trying to get sanction lifted by using and holding the rational role on hostage or when it come to food or security. this is that direct result of the blockade that are on, on the ports and were asked,

learn reputed to work with united nations in a neutral aversion to allow the food due to come out so that people don't go hungry . now global fish or food security will also be on the agenda at the g 7, the summit at starting on saturday here in germany. what concrete decisions do you want to see coming out of that meeting? what we need to see here is how we come together. first of all, look at initiatives that we have now. one is africa and many other nations in the global. so already have plans in place and how they can increase agricultural production and do it in a manner that's actually good for the environment. so we need to support deer plants. this is about coordinating a work plus we need to take a look at one of the things that we can do right now. so for example, 30 percent of food is wasted because there isn't enough food stored facilities are in many nations. we need to fix that. so by just fixing some of those things, we need to create a better trade as we or more importantly increase agriculture production. but one

thing we also need to do me to do it in a way that are going to have an impact. and by impacting for women entrepreneurship in agriculture, we'll have that a positive impact high get such an cat as a minister of international development. thank you. so much for speaking the d w. thank you. read me. ok, here's a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines at this hour. the united nation says israeli security forces fired the bullets that killed al jazeera journalist, corinne abbey. actually, you and human rights office said the palestinian american was not killed by indiscriminate firing from palestinians who actually died while covering an israeli army operation in the north and west bank last month. the rock morocco says 5 migrants died in an attempted mass crossing from its territory into the north african spanish enclave. of leila. around 2000 migrants tried to reach
