and safety. the justice department of the biden administration filed an emergency appeal, asking the supreme court to block the lower court ruling. w. washington correspondent, i mean as if explained what this decision means. the supreme court basically ruled today that access to this pill that is important for many women to terminate pregnancies will remain unhindered. they were responding to a case from a texas judge, a federal judge appointed by form president donald trump, a conservative and appealing to anti abortion advocates. and he essentially wanted to stop access to this drug, mr. prestone. based on his assessment that the f d a, the food and drug administration which approves medications had not done a proper job and approving this pill. this went onto an appeals court, which said,

we're going to help this decision, but we're going to add restrictions to it and make it unavailable for women who wanted to order it through the mail and make it only available through dr. prescription and the supreme court looked at that and for the past week they've been postponing the decision. but they finally said, no, we're going to go back to the status quo. women across the country will continue to have access to this pill, which is now used in about half of abortions across the country. okay, so good news for those who are pro choice but what just the, what is the state of the boston rights in the us in general right now? well, a lot of women are worried. that's because this decision is one drug will be used. i will be and as i said, it's used in 50 percent abortions across the country that's particularly because last summer, the supreme court overturned roe vs wade. and if you're not familiar, this is the landmark lawsuit that enshrined women's rights to an abortion that was

overturn. last summer and a lot of women are turning to other options like abortion pills, which even in states where abortion is banned, they can order this through the mail they can get basically access to it through health care providers that are not doctors. and it's a way to have an abortion that isn't thrown by stigma that you wouldn't have to travel outside of a state were bush and is band. that's 13 states and united states, including and then in addition, 5 where abortion access is limited based on the how far along a woman is in her pregnancy. for a lot of women, this decision today does send a good signal. it says that it's supreme court isn't going to basically allow any kind of case to get through unimpeded, that restricts women's access to abortion. and, but it's also obviously a disappointment for anti abortion activists who wants to make it impossible for women in the united states to get a legal unsafe abortion. i mean,

wherewith the armed forces of the people in the land say other people also got to know what problems allow shabbier. on 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 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 tomb 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. some of them also currently cut off from all communications i need to find in is in 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. as i look now at some other stories making news around the world, 10 members of the same family had been killed and a mass shooting as a house in south africa. police say they were ambushed by unknown gunman in the eastern city of peter merrit spoke. south africa has one of the world's highest murder reigns. britton's deputy prime minister dominic rob has resigned the day of the prime minister was soon i received a report on bullying by rob government employees made 8 formal complaints. rob has denied the claims from india. sheila's president says his government will nationalize the lithium industry. it's the latest challenge to electric comic is scrambling to secure supplies of the metal to make batteries. sheila has the was

biggest lithium reserves and follows mexico in nationalizing the sector to twitter which has begun. removing many of the blue takes used to verify the platforms, accounts notable people including the pope and donald trump have been affected to own a mask, says the ticks will be removed from accounts that failed to pay a monthly fee. he also says he personally is paying for some subscriptions, including those of stephen king and basketball stuff. lebron james earlier we spoke to matthew fini. he's head of tech and innovation at the london based thank center for policy studies. since a lot of faith accounts have already popped up on twitter, we asked him what more we can expect to come. there's been at least 11 issue with a new york state affiliated twitter accounts, dealing with impulses. and this is exactly the kind of problem. but blue take

verification and merge to solve which is that the more prominent on accounts, 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 act and you know that the blue chick verification is no longer stable, it is a problem opportunity, not just for hoaxes, but also criminals. and or an episodes thailand will be electing a new government in less than a months time. the votes is a battle between traditional pro military establishment parties and the main opposition party, the pew. ty party, traditionally popular in thailand, rural areas, it's been ousted from power before both by military coups and by the courts. but

this time around, it's doing well in the polls. yeah, you're welcome. but the woman who could become thailand, youngest prime minister pet on times, you know, why is 36 years old. and 8 months pregnant, her father was ousted by a military coup in 2006, her armed force from power after being impeached in 2014. now pet sometimes, you know, why is one of the top candidates of thailand, main opposition party. you type in next month's election talents, politics is complicated. on behalf ahead of the country must be united so that it can move forward. if people have made their choice at the ballot box, then we don't need another qu. what? yes, there is another. should it be inevitable? i don't think so. even though i don't think goofy people can accept that. i doubt

it up to 8 years. i think that's the way to log tylen. sluggish economy is the key political issue in this year's election and polluted. he has gained a lot of support in compound blocks, like this one in the north of bangkok, promising a big increase in minimum wages. i have faith that get my head. we have a difficult time right now. the prices of electricity, washer, and gasoline keep rising. but here we don't earn much power. i want to leader who can improve our economy by and take care of poor people like us. the current prime minister, raw, huge chunk archer has been in office since he let a 2014, which top of them put i government. why you taught the united tie nation has also promised to to address thailand's economic problems. but brewed says the focus should be on the entire nation. not just the poor. been read about it by the way,

we have to ask what a government should dedicate itself to that if we say to the people about it is not enough. it's for the nation by my religion. you like monarchy and the people i think if i rock people of all classes should have a better quality of life really that might have got them. ah, the former general has not scored high in national opinion. bowls and pure ty looks certain to when the largest number of seats in the upcoming election. but why the campaigning is in full swing by huge party knows they have an advantage. they are likely to get the support of thailand's 250 unelected military appointed senators who play a key role in selecting the next prime minister. like we said to the finance politics is a hard not to crack. don't forget, you can always get dw news on the go, just download our app from google play or from the apple app. so that will give you
