7:06 pm
a constitutional earthquake. us states now have the power to set their own abortion laws, and around half are expected to restrict or completely ban access to abortion. ah, a 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 50 years later, they have dirt is away from the abortion campaign. as celebrated outside the supreme court. ah, older generation for labor today. i'm so grateful for them and there are in that i can be i 13 states had
7:07 pm
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. a dozen or 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 his ruling, the court argued that abortion was not what it hold deeply rooted in u. s. history and traditions for vice president, commonly, harris. those words sets a dangerous precedent. that theory then calls into question other rights that we thought were settled such as the right to use birth control, the right to same sex marriage the right to interracial marriage,
7:08 pm
ah, 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 parental leave for them. it's a matter of privacy and of having the right to choose for oneself. and right now, by journalist amy littlefield in boston, she's the abortion access correspondent for the nation publication. amy, welcome to natalie. can you tell us who will be most affected by this law, which is now already come in force in several year estates? thanks for having me. yes, i mean, abortion access has always has long been determined in the united states based on 2 factors where you live and how much money you have access to. and so this decision is going to have an earth shattering impact on poor women on black women in particular, who die at 3 times the rate of white women when they get pregnant and experienced
7:09 pm
maternal mortality in this country that has the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world, it's going to impact people across huge swath of the south and pockets of the midwest. 9 states are already enforcing these trigger bands that ban abortion right away now that rosie wades, it's almost 50 years of the nationwide, right to legal abortion has fallen. and we're really already starting to see a human rights crisis unfold in real time, especially for low income people for people l g, p to q people. those who are already marginalized by the health care system, by the criminal justice system that's now going to be kicking into gear to enforce these, these anti abortion laws. and there's, there's widespread confusion and heartbreak right now among people who need abortions and those who support them. can i ask you, will there be any help at all available for women who want an abortion and are now living in states where it is banned or will be banned?
7:10 pm
there will be an enormous amount of help from robust grass roots networks. volunteer run. in many cases, run on a shoestring organizations called abortion funds that have existed for a long time. because in the united states we have a ban on federal funding of abortion called the higher amendment. that means in many states, especially those that restrict abortion and other ways people who are are low income and rely on state sponsored health insurance, have had to fund raise to pay for their abortions out of pocket for a long time. and so these abortion funds that form to try to support people who already struggled to afford abortions, they're now kicking into gear to basically be travel agents. they're the ones who are going to be figuring out how to move people, how to get them onto airplanes. how to get them onto the buses, how to provide the child care support that they need. they've been getting ready.
7:11 pm
they've been preparing. they've seen this moment come in for coming for months, if not years, based on the makeup of the supreme court in the direction of the states instead heading in. and so that is the type of support that those women will get. we've also seen state, you know, that it states are moving into different directions, of course, states across much of the south and parts of the midwest moving to ban abortion to impose the most or coney and restrictions possible. now that the supreme court has then they can, and then states like new york, how fornia, oregon, massachusetts, where i live, that are moving in the other direction that have been trying to expand access to abortion. and direct public funding towards the human rights crisis unfolding in front of extraordinary times in the u. s. a nice little feel journalist in boston, thank you so much. thank you to the war and ukraine now and after weeks of fierce facing and severe done, yet the mayor says it has now been fully occupied by the russians. it's the country's biggest battlefield set back in more than
7:12 pm
a month. the ukrainian army announced it was withdrawing its forces from the east and sissy on friday. ukrainian forces are now regrouping to higher ground in neighboring lucy chanced that's according to the head of military intelligence. a pro moscow separatists say russian troops have entered that city and are engaged in st. facing for the claim. can't be independently verified. and for more we can speak to d. w correspondent, nick connelly, who is in the ukranian capital cave neck. we've seen some of the bloodiest facing of the war russian fortunate of forces have now captured the city of severity on yes. can you tell us how big of a victory this really is for moscow? i think if we zoom out a bit and maybe wait for a few months to see the real differences of this, it might turn out to be all oh victory. yes, this is a big city. yes, this is something they've been fighting for for weeks, but it really important enough to have invested so much time,
7:13 pm
so much weaponry in so many lives. and it seems to be that the ukraine strategy is as with marable, basically to bind the russians for as long as possible, forced them into those kind of street for street urban battles, of proving incredibly costly in terms of russian lives. and then to pull back or when possible in the last possible moment to avoid losing unnecessary ukrainian military personnel in that battle. i think it's important to remember here that this is basically the only big you, christy, that rush has been able to take in over a month. the last was marable and basically, all the big russian victories were in the 1st couple weeks of this war when ukraine was busy, overwhelmed with lots of fighting on different fronts of the same time. so it is, it is progress for russia, but nowhere near the kind of pace of advance that we were expecting from russia, given their security in terms of firepower, manpower, and finances. so yes, they're making progress, but ukraine is still and on bass and is not getting chaotically having to leave the battlefield. now, the russians are now expected to turn their attention to the near by city of little
7:14 pm
chance. can we expect as the mill, as the air similar scenario to, to play out there? thing is, chance is a bit different. it has a geography. we see some higher ground that makes it easier to defend. yes, the russians are trying to get around that and to have a go that city from more than one side to avoid having to cross the river that divides over to that come with a chance. and we're also seeing them basically trying to up the pressure on ukrainian force, the other parts of the country to basically forced the cranes to spread themselves more thinly. so we're seeing more shilling in the south. nikolai of in the north, near, had given also bell russian forces are on exercise, not to miss all strikes on ukraine from belarus last night. so since the russians are trying to draw away ukrainian forces from the dumbass where they've been defending quite successfully. but for now, there isn't a sense that the, the ukraine forces are somehow in disarray. they are getting western weapons. it's not could out coming as fast as they'd want. and in the scale, the scale that the ukranian politicians say they need, but they are making
7:15 pm
a difference. and they are allowing ukraine to compensate at least to some degree for their lack of weapons. and for there are comparative, small numbers of artillery stems out on the field. they're able to use that in coordination with better intelligence from the americans and use of drones to basically reduce that russians to purchase to something that still somehow gives the ukrainians chance of of holding ground. he de leon nick connelly and keith, thank you so much. and that is it, you are up to date coming up. next is shift living in the digital age and stick around for maggie camp. americans mckinnon. thanks for watching. ah, leonardo da vinci's mysterious masterpiece. this perhaps the greatest leonardo masterpiece of the collection of the louvre.
