online. does the us state of alabama has moved closer to passing one of the most restrictive anti abortion laws in the united states. the bill which the state governor must sign it would ban almost all terminations including those resulting from rape and incest doctors who attempt to perform terminations would face up to one hundred yearss in prison. sixteen states hahave introduced similar legislation this year for the very latest let's go to washington. correspondent for the crowd that

is that and fill it this would to essentially be a ban on all terminations will the governor signed off on it. that's the big good decision that she now has to make yes and it's a female republican governor whoho will not have to make that decision whether abortion essentially becomes illegal in the whole state of alabama. she has a week to take that decision she can either sigign this bill into law or she can veto it box thahat' w would n nt frfree the end of the story. because t this was so empmphatiy voted thrhrough in alabamama tht therere is enough of a majororio actually cancel that veto from the governor. in other words it's pretty much a done deal that this will be it become role in the state off alababama that still would be te end of thehetory of c course thy will be. a merry ad of lelegal challllens in alama m maybe alsoo on the federal level and that is actually may be what people want to those who want abobortion t e

illegal throughghout thehe unitd statates. because those legal challllenges would go frorom the lower c cous may be all the way to the supreme court of the united states whether on now as you know new conservative judges one of the big conservative g goals. to get rid of the roe v. wade decision that was a supreme court decision in the year nineteen seventy three that essentially made abortion legal throughout the united states one of the big goals for conservatives in the united states. is to overturn that decision we might look back at this moment in alabama as the first step that led to that decision. and of course out of arizona face to states -- is infinite to bring forth such legislation and for many people. this is a nation wide attack on women's rights in the usa. yeah they're all sorts of billss like this one that have either been voted through old might well be voted through in the

near future. emboldenened because of who they have in the whihite house a presidident who has given them o conservative supreme couourt juststices who though dururing t supreme durining that a senate confirmation hearings. did not say that they were willing to overturn roe v. wade that was again the decision by the supreme court in nineteen seventy three toto make abortion legal throughout t the united states. but if the case was to come all the way to this for supreme court whoho knows how they might decide n now you mentioned t tht this is happppening i in other ststates throughouout the count. that is indeedd the case we have seen for billsls go throrough fr example in the states of kekentucky mississippi ohio and georgia all full of make an abortion illegal as soon as a heart beat. is detected now that's is usually after six weeks of a pregnanancy at s some and some s wowomen don't evenn know that pregnant after six weeks.

that is how extreme these new bills and rolls all the one in alabama though if indeed it is to be signed into law by the governor would be the most extreme of the mole. finance thank you very much and develop crowther that reporting from washington. meanwhile the us has ordered all non emergency stoff to leave its embassy in iraq's capital baghdad amid mounting tensions with iran. the tensions also prompting germany and the netherlands to suspend military training in iran's neighbor washington accuses tehran of planning on specified imminent attacks i in the region yesterday. iran's supreme made it said that he was not seeking war with the united states selena socks pool. as the standoff between the us and iran continues washington is pulling non emergency stop from its embassy and consulates in a rock to ron's neighbor and online. a decision made use of the increased threat stream in the country a state department spokesman said on wednesday. we are confident in iraqi

saw a bit more about that in a moment but but just to talk about what happened today at the summit. facebook -- has agreed to cut its live streaming feature which of course was used by the christchurch kalman. at two to broadcast live the manager of the fifty one people. a facebook down that area. it still wouldn't have prevented what happened with it. well it would have helped the twins by your all the motors i mean the can placate f facebook you know fifteen years old. this could have happened fofourteen years old - -- all fofourteen years befefore -- sie we oldies at his little too late our take on it is that. it's not only is the task to be. vigilant for the operators and the platforms but also for the users. and what we find the need to be being missing in this cold for more of a say. for internet -- and so forth he's what do we do to try to educate as a platform as a state

as the citizens heap -- were users and especially kids to one of the fifty proposals that set of core dis. ease to oblige old platforms and social media. to expand into into it to make sure that everer user is gogoing to take a a very small drivingng license it away. two minutes two minutes of the time of the kid.. before because these tools but they already have the terms and conditions that they which private people are supposed to abide by and people do full file i i i i in fact i just printed them -- you know sense of into view. facebook and and i'm talking with the latestt one it's eleven page -- long one and wheezing z. even pages yeah you have to click on it even all those are served tea and sees. which means that you have to hire a law firm to have everybody seven there and it would take. to win resign no one returned and if you find someone who reads and please invite. you guys this person here so so all our take on the seas to mame something very clear very simple and to oblige platforms to be

clear and simple and eligible and another i did that a british mp came out withh actually andni was just phillips. she has cold on technology companies to go off to people who spread hatred online and actually just demonetized a you tube channels don't let them have advertising on that day let the money has had any money exactly. why one of the companies just do that? no way out. taking here all of a business model and it takes time and if it takes too much time. we see those citizenship a social media -- and also z. government we are here to say. it where ozzy right -- guidelines and also what the striking here is the fact that. every time we say you have to be more. vigilant and to try to operate every scecene -- you know a betr way there's no way -- to you know to to trust all these platforms thahat they are goingo do their own police. i eat we need to have an independent. bodies observatory as we do for

the media for example we have press commission exact i'm not kind each country and why not for social media as well and another -- opiates solution would base some people say stop people from going online anonymously don't allow people to have anonymous account. if you have an anonymous handle it is very easy to spread heighten attack people and all the rest of it. why not make it into? a blanket to for people to to reveal their identity what what does opinion one country in the u. which is austria last week -- and you know be in in and and see see what we have to be very very clear for your viewers. being against an enemy t. is not being against said the new musician i ii you can use any kind of nicknames at two one two or i have a tar. your game or i see but once you register online you have to tell room you arere.. you know it's like being walking in industry teach your child if you want to kill some someone. someone ease eyes and i

surprised -- identified as far as an argument against that there will be perhaps someone he was gay and had come outut to te family and friends and i was getting online support -- or you know something else the people didn't necessarily want to make public. about found again for online you know and then n his son w whichs only when you register onto a platform it's not the way you appear online. because you can appear online with you at that time you need name that's cool signin me meanies is ation. as opposed to an immunity whihih is when you'd never disclose your identity which is not exactly the way it works in the real life all right it's a fascinating subjects at and i look foods it media but incidents against into hate. and please sign off the espys on charter lovely thank you very much a date of it coming back. now the world's best known monument has just turned one hundred and thirty the eiffel tower is celebrating the anniversary of the first time it opens to the public with the concept and light show. it's hard to believe that back
