a donor conference in germany, more than 50 countries pledge to continue their military support for ukraine. the u . s. says ukraine's partner stan united in providing weapons for as long as it takes and promised that the american tanks be crane will arrive suit class as ramadan. and a fragile truce begins in saddam witnesses. there say there is no letter in the fighting will than 400 people have now been killed as the army battles paramilitary rivals. ah, i'm all all psycho, it's good to have you with us. the u. s. supreme court has ruled in favor of preserving access to a popular abortion pill. the judgement means that the abortion pill, my fest,

hesper stone, will continue to be broadly available in the united states. a conservative judge in texas suspended approval of the commonly used drug on the 7th of april, questioning it safety. the justice department of the biden and administration had filed an emergency appeal, asking the supreme court to block the lower court rulings. d, w, corresponded. i mean, as if jasmine are from washington, i mean, what does this decision mean? well, this was closely watched because it would have, if the court had ruled a different way, really restricted access for millions of women who depend on this drug. it's used in half of the abortions now in the united states. now that abortion has been illegal for over for since last summer anyway, because of a supreme court decision. that's while why all eyes were on the supreme court now because with the overturning of roe vs wade,

which was which enshrined the rights of women to have an abortion in this country. last summer. a lot of people have been looking at the supreme court as trying to do everything it could to stop women from getting abortions. that is not the case. now the supreme court has shown that is not going to let just every a lawsuit come through every case come through and by anti abortion activists, and to restrict women's access to legal abortion in this country. so basically what the law this ruling does as it overturns a decision by a texas judge appointee of former president donald trump, who appealed to anti boston activists. it overturns his decision to limit access to this very important a drug called miss prestone as so that had gone to an appeals court at which said that they weren't going to allow the band to take effect while they looked at it. but they were going to limit its access. many couldn't get it through the mail, you couldn't get it from anybody but a doctor. and what the supreme court has now done is say, look,

we're going back to what it has been since 2016. you can get this in the mail, you can get it from any a health care provider who's trained with this. and so basically what it's donna's, it says that this drug is still accessible, widely accessible united states. despite this sir, ruling at what is the state of the access to abortion in the united states. right. like i said, over half of abortions now are done with this drug in combination with another drug called a mizo prostate. and that is because abortion legal, abortion, united states has been largely restricted for women living in conservative states. now there are 13 states that have van that have made abortion illegal, and 5 states have made it illegal depending on how far along in a pregnancy woman is. so for those women living there, they really have to travel to other states to get an abortion. but they still could be punished in their states. so for millions of women across the country,

a mail order a dosage of method prestone in combination with this other drug music process is the only access that they have to illegal abortion. and don't forget, a lot of the cases, the health of the woman, the survival of woman, is at stake here because of, of a pregnancy that can't be taken to term. so it is a serious situation for a lot of women, united states. and this ruling today comes as a relief for many, but of course for the anti abortion activists in this country, which is a great number of people. and it comes as a disappointment. i mean, as if i think you are much for your reporting to the lesson plans to help you crane in as well as russia now keeps western allies have been meeting as an airbase here in germany, the most senior u. s. defense officials have repeated pledges to stand behind ukraine for as long as it takes, and i promised that american tanks do for delivery later this year. it will make

a difference on the battlefield. a show of solidarity for ukraine from its west allies as the war continues to rage. us defense secretary lloyd austin, pays to groups efforts so far for announcing washington's latest contribution. we've also expedited r m one abrams timelines to supply ukraine with more armored capability in the coming months and the em on. so the ukrainians will use for training arrive here in germany in the next few weeks. and all of this is huge progress for their part, germany and poland announced the creation of a tank maintenance hub. it's location just over the polish ukrainian border would enable tanks to return to the frontline more quickly after repair. it is mostly i will see every piece of equipment that is supplied in this war where the tank, so combat support tanks and other equipment such as how it says or patriot systems

is subject to wear and tear. especially when they are in continuous use in combat. or the more so i am very pleased that together with my polish and ukranian colleagues, i was able to sign a memorandum of understanding will set up a joint maintenance hub in poland for the entire leopard to fleet through to get them to leo, lifelong ministers and nato secretary general un stilton burg reiterated support for ukraine's future night membership. but the focus for now they say, is on helping ukrainian forces defend the country against continued russian aggression. for ukraine's perspective on this meeting and ramstein, we asked d. w as roman going to ranko and keith if this is what ukraine was hoping for. well, yes, and i am not quite so because for ukraine, when we, when we remember what was said before, that meeting in ramstein for your crimes was extremely important to hear that the

google come more ammunition for its anti aircraft systems, long range emissions for its aircraft systems f u k was also hoping for a signal to finally become green light. for, for you, a fighter jets like f. 16 us made a fighter jets or that didn't happen and we still don't know how much ammunition am for the korean air defenses. the west will deliver, but on the other hand, the biggest good news for ukraine is probably the announcement or by the united states to soon deliver 1st abrams and one tanks for ukrainian soldiers to train in germany. so these rules begin very soon, and then those tanks will then come ins, summer, but for the offensive they big offensive operation. the ukraine is planning. now that would probably come to late sedans, army and arrival paramilitary group, have a great to a 3 day truce at the end of ramadan. that witnesses say this still have

a fighting in the capital cartoon. more than 400 people have been killed and thousands more injured since violence erupted a week ago. ah, the cool to pray, rings out across this district in her team. as worship his gathering site in most to celebrate, eat, the end of the holy month of ramadan. they all say praying for peace, a live, jani, my law doesn't get any kind of, we don't feel like it's each time everything that's happening. walker, i'm about law. it was the same over the last few days of ramadan and humbly learn a lot. we thank god anyway, we are the rabbits go that will. we're talking about a blue dog. what's taking place is inevitable since a country ruled by 2 leaders and cannot move forward that often walker there can't be to army as much over that, wherewith the armed forces of the people in the land say are the people also dr. norma was struggling with the law which other fighting between the army and the

paramilitary rapid support forces group has continued for a week. all attempts a ceasefire have so far proved short lived for with the airport closed and damaged the e. u. in the 7 member states with missions in sudan including france, germany in italy, miss try to get an estimated 1500 nationals trapped in her toom out safely inside a deutschland disease. but when the number of germans who contact us is growing every day and is currently in the low 3 digit range as of today, friday afternoon, we inform local germans daily with the so called in compatriot letter on the latest developments void to some of them. also currently cut off from all communications i need to find in isn't the outside our funding kamani cartoon up cushioning. but as gunfire resumed in her team shortly after the 2 sites announced to 72 our ceasefire . this latest truth is already crumbling. a bill loading is an

africa fs unless we asked her what to can be expected from the ceasefire agreement between saddam's army and the rapid support forces. i think it's clear this far is, is not holding. i spoke today with people in, in the capital town earlier this afternoon in which the heavy gunfire was audible. and i also have just spoken to actually a relative of mine who is in hartford, who said, no, the street fighting is going on right now. it's quite heavy and fact, the sudanese armed forces have come out and informed the population that in their opinion, the air operations have been successful and they're now moving to the ground fighting. and according to the ss they said that they have,

that they want to move to st. fighting in order to flush out the rest fast that they've accused of hiding in, in residential buildings. so if anything, things, things are getting worse. that's a quick look at some other stories making news around the world. 10 members of the same family have been killed in a mass shooting as a house in south africa. police say they were ambushed by unknown gunman in the eastern city of peter merits book. so africa was, has one of the world's highest moderates. britain's deputy prime minister dominic rob has resigned a day after prime minister, which is soon i received a report on complaint of bullying by roger government employees made a formal complaint. rob has denied the claim. work is that the airport have joint strikes at 3 of germany's other major. industrial action has

left tens of thousands of travelers, standard long distance red stuff have joined the count. transport unions are demanding higher pay to offset inflation. delays president says his government will nationalize the lithium industry is the latest challenge to electric car makers scrambling to secure supplies of the metal. to make batteries chill, it has the world's biggest lithium reserves and follows mexico and nationalizing the sector now to the changes on the way at twitter which has begun. removing many of the blue ticks used to verify the platforms, accounts, celebrities, including the pope and donald trump. have been affected. twitter owner, illinois mosque, says the ticks will be removed from accounts that fail to pay a monthly fee. he also says he personally is paying for some subscriptions, including those of office stephen king and basketball star lebron james

that we spoke to. matthew fini, he's head of tech, an innovation at a london based think tank center for policy. studies says a lot of fake accounts have already been popping up on twitter. we asked him what more we can expect. there's been at least 11 issue with a new york state affiliated twitter accounts, dealing with impostors. and this is exactly the kind of problem, but blue take verification and merge to solve which is that the more prominent on account, the more likely impersonators or hoaxes are going to get involved to disrupt the platform and make it more difficult for people to consume genuine news and information, and so i expect that as firms or individuals choose not to pay that we will see more impersonation. and i think that's going to degrade the platform. it is trivial to set up a twitter account. so if you're malicious and you know that the blue chick

verification is no longer stable, it is a prime opportunity, not just for hoaxes, but also criminals and for an etc. you're watching, you know the news life from belinda. and don't forget, you can always get the news on the go, just download our app from google play from the apple app. so that will give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news. that's it from me for now. kat ferguson will be here after the break to give you your business updates and we'll also take people in trucks engine when trying to see the city center more and more refugees are being turned away with.
