years. following argentina in 2020 and colombia last year, dw correspondent nicole reese as in bogota, asked or what led up to this major change in mexican law. so story is a major chain to change. a historic one is a us, i would put it. and i think it's human rights activists into portion rights activists. well celebrating this now because they have played a key role in this whole development. these other people who've been pushing for years, if not to decades, so a portion of what to be legal and mexico and also as we just heard in other countries and abortion would be safe for the women who need it. so it's quite a weak victory with some sort of domino effects. maybe in mexico, a very slow one in 2015. it was mexico cities that's pioneered boost, that's legalized abortion already. and up to today did was 12 out of $32.00 states

would also already be legalizing a portion and the options for it. we get tapped to see of course, how this is being implemented, as we're not talking about just one say put 32. so this will be also a process, but it is a huge victory for human rights from social movements has been on the ground. and protesting, also of pushing for these make installations and pressuring also lawmakers over the years. like in other latin american countries. the catholic church has been a big obstacle to legalizing a portion. is this a sign that the church is losing power there and mexico? it may be one of several signs actually over the past $2.00 to $3.00 decades. some survey say that there is a decline of up to 20 percent of people who are saying, but they're not part of the catholic church anymore. abortion rights might be one topic of the topics may be a sex abuse scandals that happened surfacing or he and latin america as well other

options as for religions. and obviously society is not the same as it was 50 years ago. so that massive mindset changes going on as well. do you not in america and in the whole world, to be honest. so now the u. s, which is mexico's northern neighbor. it has gone in the opposite direction with the supreme court. this, you're striking down abortion protections. do you think that will see us women traveling to mexico to get the procedure? that could be a further increase. i mean, uh since, uh, the us coordinate is a decision that has already been increased. that's one of the 1st things that abortion clinics in mexico and specialists. notice that the u. s. women trying to get help in their country. and they were wondering about it because usually it would be the other way around. mexican, when would go to the yes. to get a procedure done to get divorced and pills, but now it's just uh, switched back. it's mexico that people go to because the situation has changed. so you might see another increase. this is already

a development is going on. and actually this also activists nets and hopes that help these women that do this voluntarily to try to put them in contact with clinics with specialist with more is even so they would feel safe. and that just for the pushing for getting rid of this a stigma about a portion, this is one of the big things that things that are still out there that need to be done. and as we can see, things can change. also in the us was change back and now it's the us women coming to mexico seeking for health and maybe now in all the states they can get that health as well. uh, search on that. it certainly is a historical shift. nicole reese in bogota for us. thank you. the us secretary of state has announced more than $1000000000.00 and extra aid for ukraine. top diplomat asked me blinking gave details on the new a during a surprise visits 2 hours earlier. a russian attack on a busy shopping area on eastern ukraine killed at least 17 people president below

them. here's a lensky condemned to strike as a heinous evil, to yet another attack on ukraine city. this time on a crowded market in constantinople. at the 17 people were killed here by a russian missile says he craned among them to child on this, the deadly backdrop to us secretary of state entity blinking is 4th visit. the keeps ends to start of rushes invasion. ukraine's counter offensive was at the top of the agenda. last week. can you rejected us media reports suggesting progress on the front lines was too slow, but there were no signs of tension during blankets, visit ukraine's president, instead of striking a grateful tone. this usual rate you'd see around lincoln also met

with prime minister denise me hall and foreign minister at the mutual coordinate chain to show a united front to appraise the ukranian effort to push the russians back. we see the progress of the counter offensive. very hard. we want to make sure that the frame has what it needs, not only to succeed in the counter offensive, but that's what it needs for the long to make sure that it has a strong return. strong defense capacity is blinking announced a new aid package worth over $1000000000.00. the u. s. has delivered or pledge more than $43000000000.00 to ukraine and military aid including air defense systems. wednesdays, brutal attack says just how important the support is agreeable or safe. blinking this visit was the highest level visit by us officials since february, and president joe biden made a trip to keith. i asked dw, washington correspondent, janelle de malone. what might be behind the timing of the visit,

as well as there are a variety of reasons and as you just pointed out, the last time was in february with joe biden, and that's already quite a while back. washington has clearly made it a priority to support ukraine on the ground with the, with the visits, if not so regularly event at least consistence consistently. and this is of course, also an opportunity for anthony blinking to be able to get an on the ground picture of the counter offensive as it is all righty and it's 4th month. this is, this visit is also a chance for keith and washington not to get on the same page head of the un general assembly to be held here in the us later this month. but chief, of course of the aims of this visit is for anthony blinking to be able to announce this $1000000000.00 assistance package that is going to ukraine. to tell, tell us more about this $1000000000.00 aid package that he announced there. where

is this aide? suppose to end up well, this package includes, among other things, the air defense components, anti tank missiles, artillery, ammunition depleted uranium ammunition, as well as a mine resistant armor. dog protection vehicles. out that are we going to go to the 1st time to ukraine's on board or forces. now these are all pentagon stop piles that are meant to help, but ukrainians break through russian defenses as the counter offensive gets held up by mines and trenches. and that's even as antony blinking says that since the start of the invasion, ukraine has managed to crop, kept to recapture half of the territories seized by russia. since the start of the invasion. now, of course, predictably the counter offensive. how is very difficult and us weapons will remain

instrumental in the successes about ukraine would house. let's go back to the weapons that you said were included in this package. you mentioned depleted uranium weapons, these are controversial. can you tell us more about that? well, what they basically allow you to do is pierce armor right there, very dense, they're done through the armor. basically they penetrate the armored plane to painting and then they self ignite. now they are controversial because there's an ongoing debate as to whether they might be linked to health risk. so you have the likes of the international coalition to buy not you ran your weapons, saying that in hailing uranium dos could be linked to birth defects or to cancer. but earlier today, i was at a briefing by a national security council official, and he pushed back strongly against this controversy, saying that so depleted munition weapons are not carcinogenic or radioactive and

that there is no controversy to be had here. only what russia would make of it. alright, janelle do, malone dw washington correspondent, thank you. japan has launched a rocket carrying a move lander as it seeks to join the tiny club of country, is to successfully pull off a lunar landing after 3 postponements last month. the rocket finally blasted off from japan's ton, i guess she met a space center on board was the national space agencies. smart lander for investigating move or slim mission? small lender is set to try to execute a high precision landing on the move. let's take a closer look at the lightweight low cost craft that japan is pending its lunar landing hopes on a big goal for japan. smart lander for investigating mood or slim mission will be to land with high precision. hence, the lenders nickname the moon's sniper. the wordpress size is still

a relative one. when it comes to guiding a spacecraft down to the lunar surface. we're talking about precision, ma'am. then we're talking about in the range of 1900 to 200 meters precision. other lunar emissions have plans, landing zones measured in kilometers, but the lightweight moon sniper will try to put down within a 100 meters of a pre determined target. if it masters that challenge, it will investigate nearby rocks with a multi band spectral camera and deploy a small rolling picture. taking robot nicknamed store a cue. if it successfully soft lands on the lunar surface as planned early next year, the slim mission will make japan the 5th nation to do so. joining number 4 in the club, india, it's chandra on 3 landers successfully put down on august 23rd. japan and india are now planning

a joint project called the lunar polar exploration mission, flu pack set of 4, sometimes chun dry on for it's currently slated for lunch in about 3 years. it is supposed to start seriously looking for resources, especially water. this searches mostly for the conditions on the surface thinking in the long time that they might be human base of people living on the moon. all these things are very important because we see the moon as a kind of 1st stage 4 expiration of a solar system. but progress toward that goal is slow and success is far from guaranteed. a number of recent attempts that failed to set down safely on the lunar surface. like rushes recent luna 25 mission which was lost before landing. gotta cut the pitch of pain to 2 points to the engine, taking too long and slowing down the spacecraft too much. instead of just sending

to a height of 18 kilometers on the surface of the moon, it just send it even lower and probably just collided with a surface because i have to close the closest body up with you. and 2 more missions to the moon could be launched by american companies in the next few months, but safely setting probes down on it is just a prelude to the next big step. returning astronaut to the surface, that's the aim of the art of a series. it's next to mission artem is to is slated to take astronaut back to lunar orbit by the end of next year. then in 2025. the item is 3. will try to land them. that in turn for shadow is the building of lunar bases, which are in planning by a number of different countries, all hoping to gain a permanent foothold on our closest celeste, you'll neighbor you're up to date on the headlines of next. we have

a documentary about how early color photography shaped to europe's view of africa. let's after a short break more news in the meantime, you can go to our website, that's d, w dot com. you can also find us on social media are handled. there is at the the news i'm on me and he says for me and the rest of the team here. thanks for watching. and stay with us the trast fashion as an environmental night a clothing graveyard in the to land desert. this is where things well the industrial nations no longer need and flight us textile ways get stranded fashion,
