longstanding approval abortion abortion drug mr personae. but just minutes later, a judge in wisconsin issued an injunction ordered authorities not restrict access to it. the justice department says it is appealing the texas ruin and reviewing the other mister personae is one of 2 pills used from medication abortions and was common method of terminating a pregnancy. in the u. s. u s. vice president kamala harris was quick to condemn the ruling out of texas for interfering with the food and drug administration's work. this is what makes with me

here to tell us more about these rulings is w reporter alex. so alex, there have been to conflict ruling so far. what does this mean for access to the drug? well, aaron, it means a couple of different things that are contradicting each other and for, for the people who might need access to this drug. that's very confusing. that's going to be a very challenging time for them. we can't forget that millions of women in america have used this drug since it was approved 20 over 20 years ago. and it's the most common way to have an abortion in the united states with medication abortion. so we have in washington state, on one hand, a federal judge saying that the sta can't change anything to restrict access access or reduce access to if a person. on the other hand, this ruling from texas, which has been hailed by anti abortion groups, is saying, basically that the federal government, the justice department has one week to appeal

a brewing that would remove this from shelves, would pull this abortion pill from shelves. so the justice department has already done that, but in the meantime, until we know more about that process, we don't know how long this will be available to potentially millions of patients. now we already heard vice person call a harris way in the issue. what have been the other political reaction so far? well, this is maybe one of the most fundamental fault lines in the american political landscape, so, and cult landscape, so to speak. when it comes to a debate. the question of abortion is one of the biggest ones in the country. and so as expected, anti abortion groups have been hailing the ruling out of texas when they call the approval of this drug over 20 years ago. they've said that it was hasty or was, was lacking enough testing. whereas

a medical groups and bush rights advocates, democratic politicians have all come out saying this is one loan judge, overturning a regulatory bodies brewing approval of a drug over 2 decades ago as unprecedented. so strong a approval and criticism on, on both sides. but yeah, basically that the main question is how can one judge make such a drastic impact on the f d s decision? all right, that was due to a reporter alex and thank you for your analysis. we turned out to the war in ukraine. according to british intelligence reports, russian forces have made significant gains and back wooten, eastern ukraine, the british se pollutants troops have probably taken the city center along the west bank of the bottom river. ukraine denies that,
