4:03 pm
but we know that a number of world leaders are arriving today. what are the preparations like? wow. well, the summit is going to take place about a 100 kilometers from here, from munich, where i am right now, and it is going to take place in this location in the, in the bavarian helps. and already there is a strong police presence there. there are checkpoints on the road from munich to the town where it's going to take place, and the security situation is quite intense. and also demonstrators have started preparing a protest camp. they're on the ground and they expect to carry on with protests in the next 3 days during the summer. there was dw correspondent, julia, so deli immunity for us. julia, thank you so much to the united states now where the supreme court has ended 50 years of federal abortion rights, and
4:04 pm
a 6 to 3 ruling the court overturned the landmark 1973 rovers is wayne decision that enshrined a woman's rights to an abortion the ruling is being described as a constitutional earthquake. us states now have the power to set their own abortion laws. around half of them are expected to restrict or completely ban access to abortion. i choice no longer this misery became the 1st stay to ban abortions as roe vs wade was overturned. this clinic in st. louis had been the last place in the state to perform abortions. for me, it's tragic because we tried so hard to get this in 1973. when finally, when the victory now with the years later, damn, you're just away from the abortion campaign is celebrated
4:05 pm
outside the supreme court. ah, older generation of her life today. i'm so grateful for them and there are in that i can be generating 13 states had so called trigger bands. that meant that abortion was immediately banned as the ruling came through or it will be banned in the near future. it does know so other states could also be binding abortion soon. the end to roe v wade was made possible after former president donald trump appointed a record 3 justices to the supreme court. in its ruling, the court argued that abortion was not what it hold deeply rooted in u. s. history and traditions for vice president, comedy harris. those words set a dangerous precedent. that theory then calls into question other rights that we thought were settled
4:06 pm
such as the right to use birth control, the right to same sex marriage the right to interracial marriage on the streets of new york city and elsewhere. supporters of the rights to abortion showed their anger in a country without universal health care and little or no parent to leave for them. it's a matter of privacy and of having the right to choose for oneself. well for more we can speak to carol sanger now, she's a professor at columbia law school in new york, and she's also a scholar of reproductive rights professor singer. welcome to d, w. now a recent poll actually showed that the majority of americans support abortion rights. so does this ruling undermine the legitimacy of the supreme court?
4:07 pm
in a yes, in the sense it does in the same way that their decision on striking down new york city's restriction on hold a gun gun carrying comes in public did because most americans also favor that sorta mob is free form in our, in our gum laws. so the supreme court is really doing what it's new majority wants to do, and it is very faithful to, to a sort of platform which uncannily we're seeing a public in platform and position on most of these issues. so yes, in this decision has and then the gun one for it have a really hammered in the nail on the idea that the court is on the coffin, that the court who are sitting in as an independent branch of government. well,
4:08 pm
president biden said that this decision must not be the final word, but are there any legal roots to somehow reverse the supreme court ruling? no, it, there are theoretical routes to doing it. so if there was a major change in personnel on the court, and that would do it, but we have no inkling that that's in store. wanted to just say in the, in the report that preceded this conversation. it was mentioned that trump had 3 appointments, and that was very significant. and i think it's also significant to note that one of his appointments was actually the slot, the appointment that was to have gone to obama. it opened up during the administration, but the republican controlled senate would not give the candidate. then obama appoint nominated a hearing. and so the seat when i went to left office,
4:09 pm
passed on to the new president trump, so it's often called the stolen. see it, the 3, the 3 appointments and he had not all fairly acquired. i wanted to just that add to the picture of the court legitimacy. well, there's also quite a bit of concern that this ruling could lead to other rights being scraps such as the right to birth control or same sex marriage. how likely do you think that'll happen? i actually think it's quite likely how much time it will take is another matter because it takes a while for cases to get up to the supreme court. usually it 3 levels of appeal as it will take a few years. but the theory is now turned into actual practice and it concerns the right to privacy. and what the case did yesterday was
4:10 pm
say, there is no constitutional right to privacy. and it was using it in the case of worship . but there are other rights that stem from privacy, such as contraception, as you mentioned, same sex marriage, same sex, sexual relations, or interracial marriages. oh, come from privacy and they are all vulnerable right now. that was carol sanger, professor at columbia law school in new york. thank you so much for your insights. let's get you up to speed now and some of the other stories making news. at this hour, hundreds of people have marched through the streets of our slow in protest against the killing of 2 people and wounding of 21 others during the cities. pride week norway security services have called the shooting and islamist terror act, and raise the terror alert to the highest level suspect was arrested. sweeping
4:11 pm
gun safety legislation was signed into law after the bill was earlier approved by us lawmakers. they're the 1st significant federal laws to be passed in the united states in decades. and both the reforms will make it harder for young people to buy weapons. the measures come after a state of mass shootings in the us, including one at a school in texas that left $21.00 dead to the war in ukraine. now, and after weeks of fierce fighting against invading russian forces, ukrainian troops are retreating from the eastern city of city to the nets. original officials said ukraine's units would move to stronger positions. recent days have seen russia make significant gains around the strategic eastern city. russia is trying to encircle ukrainian forces and sees the entire danverse region. local ukrainian officials say the fighting is intensifying and nowhere in the east is safe any more for residents. or earlier,
4:12 pm
i spoke to our correspondent connelly who's on the ground for us in ukraine. i asked him if the thank the ukrainian forces are pulling out of severe the next signals, a major victory for russia. it's a victory. sure. but it's been a very long time coming, and it comes with a huge price in terms of manpower. last and in terms of weapons and basically a prestige busy. all of russia's military might, has been thrown at a very small section of these very long front lines. and it's taking them weeks to take of the city. it's busy turn into a 2nd marable. yes, they're taking it, but at the price of making no gains along the other front lines and allowing ukrainian to counteract the places ukraine of seas on a lot of pressure as a democratic country to minimize losses. and all these families of people who out there fighting, paying very close attention to decisions, being taken by ukraine's military leadership and critical of anything that would endanger them. so yes, this is a controlled controlled withdrawl is something that vs will celebrate given they
4:13 pm
haven't had much celebrate in recent months, but it doesn't cordon or in a huge kind of strategic way. change the situation in de bus. ukraine still controls a chunk of dumbass and most of what it's last was lost in the 1st 2 weeks of this war. when the russians are now expected to turn their attention to the nearby city of lucy shark, can we expect a similar scenario to play out there as, as little announced? for now, it seems like this is going to be a street street fighting that is going to be long, nasty, protected. thankfully, most civilians have been evacuated and some who are still there have been getting out in small groups without much in the way of publicity. basically doing under the radar m, ukraine authorities were very vocal in the weeks, months adding up to this to people should get out while they still have a chance to do to so and safety to avoid seemed like we saw in marable, there had been expectation that defending as a chance would be easier for ukraine does a river there between 7 as an exclusive chance and some geography,
4:14 pm
which makes it easier to defend. the russians have now been coming towards the, such as for the south avoiding that river supp potentially a place into their hands. but if the bigger picture is still a fact that russia, in spite of its huge security in terms of weapon, the terms of boots on the ground is making very slow progress and nothing that would really suggest a collapse in ukraine's position for now. and this war has now entered its 5th month. nick, how are the people holding up in ukraine? it's a very mixed picture here. i'm in care of, you know, sometimes you walk around and you kind of can forget that we are in a country at war. you hear the air raid sirens, people stay in the cafes, stay doing what they're doing, trying to live some kind of normality. well, the, the hand, the streets are still loosely empty. sometimes it feels like there's only about half the number of people on the streets that you saw before, the war, people savings running out. now, lots of jobs have fallen away,
4:15 pm
and people maybe who would want to return to care from poland, from other places in western europe and central europe where they fled to. and i often themselves, even they can forced to come back even if it's safe. because they're not sure about their jobs, the government for now is holding up, but it is increasingly dependent on western finance to pay salaries and to keep fighting at the front lines. i think the desired fight is their question is whether ukraine will have resources going forward yet by using a colonic connelly in kia. thank you, nick. and that's the latest unbeatable u. news. this our up next reporter on location with a look at press freedom in hong kong. i'm hearing evans student from me and the entire news team in berlin. thanks for watching. and he tagged along to this visual hotspots in germany during the world d, w, travel, a.
