john torres joins me now live from st. louis.ght now and what the possible outcomes might be. >> geoff, the trial just got under way or the hearing just got under way here at the courthouse in st. louis, missouri, where the judge is hearing from planned parenthood an argument that the state department of health and senior services as unlawfully refused to renew the license of last abortion clinic in the state. if that license is not renewed, it expires tomorrow. meaning after tomorrow there will be no abortion services provided by clinics in the state of missouri and women will have to go outside the state in order to get those services. yesterday i sat down with the medical director of that clinic, who told me he thinks the reason behind this is because the state is using rules and regulations to get that license renewal that he thinks are medically unnecessary. >> as i've said before, if the state had a concern about the safety of the health care we provide, the department of health has the prerogative to stop us from providing

john torres. can you put this louisiana bill in context? how is this related to, how does it fit in with this wave of laws we've been seeing sweeping across the country? >> it's interesting to me having covered this issue for a long time pip a few years ago, the heartbeat bill -- governor kasich in ohio actually vetoed it, and even abortion rights opponents said they thought it was going to be a problem if it got to the supreme court. it could reaffirm roe. now what's happened, kavanaugh has gotten on the court. and states are emboldened to pass laws like this. ban abortions after six weeks. it's an outright abortion ban. they think this time if it gets up to the supreme court, the court may use it to overturn or dismantle roe. >> let's talk about another way in which states have been going after or undermining abortion rights, and that is by using regulations. the clinic in missouri that we have now learned is under threat of closure, i know you spoke with doctors there, this has been an issue broadly in missouri. >> righting exactly, last

john torres. thank you for joining me. the trouble is far from over here.hey are banned from disembarking back at saint lucia. it looks like similarly that will be case here now that the ship is back at curacao. what are health officials concerned most about at this point? >> what they're most concerned about is the measles spreading. it's one of the more contagious viruses out there. if somebody has a con firmed case of measles, people who are not protected, have not gotten the vaccines or exposed earlier, they're 90% likely to get the measles. if somebody is contagious, 90% of people not immune are because of vaccinations will catch it as well. saint lucia has not had a confirmed case of measles since 1990. they do not want it there. you need to go. curacao is saying can you get off if you can shoefw evidence immunity, if not you need to be on for the whole incouple period, which is 21 days. >> some are say misinformation is to blame. what are inaccuracies people are not getting? >> number one, this disease is not just a simple rash. this disease can be f

and first spoke with the witnesses and t i went down the list thate gave police from the top and john torresdeputy was the first one on the list. after i spoke with john and he'll tell you why he and the other witnesses remember that day for a very specific reason. i found them very credible. once the sheriff's deputy was telling me that then it took on a whole new level because i have a law enforcement officer telling me that this guy was definitely in my house that day. it was up with of two things, either he was innocent or this guy aser lying. >> when you get that call out of the blue, what was your first impression? >> it was interesting. >> careful. honest. >> obviously, i was happy someone was looking into richard's case. that's for sure. it doesn't seem believable that you have 13 alibie witnesses an no one attempted to contact them. he seemed like he was missing something. >> why do you remembermi that specific day? >> that day, it's hard for me to remember what i did a month ago, lasta week for that matter but that dayth on june 19th, it changed my life forever because i was gettin

john torres who went to missouri to speak with two doctors who provided abortion services. stephanie, let's start with you. what are the restrictions in the louisiana bill? >> this is known as a heart beat bill. according to the legislation at about six weeks when a fetal heart beat is heard. there can no longer be an abortion. one thing that is worth pointing out about these bans that go into effect is that they're not being enforced just yet. the louisiana bill falls into that category and although when we were down there last week, there is very little push back against this. probably float through the house. but is unlikely to get enforced because it is actually tied specifically tied to mississippi law that is making its way through the federal courts and there has already been a preliminary injunction against that. none of it is being enforced on the ground. >> why is this law dependent on what is happening in mississippi? >> i was curious about that myself and talked to them. the reason when this is fought out in court, it gets really expensive and they were going to

john torres and also here onset, laura lopez. thank you both. why, why, doctor, you are on the ground will. what is happening now? >> reporter: the judge will make his decision on whether he will want to go ahead and extend that lie censuse license for the clinic. sincely what we heard during the hearing, from arguments and investigations that have been going on the last few weeks by the state department of health, is thatclinic has discrepancies which they are not willing to let go and that might cause an issue with the licensing renewal that happens tomorrow. what the clinic is saying is that these things that they fouchbd are things thfound are that are corrected like hand sanitizer and other things like making them do multiple pelvic exams on women that are not oun unnecessary but potentially harmful and that they are not willing to do.women that are no unnecessary but potentially harmful and that they are not willing to do. >> i'm not sure why they have ch chosen to wait until you our license will lapse, but i'm not sure why the governor fe

john torres joins me now with more on this. first of all, what can we do we're not doing to stem the tide? how can we stop this outbreak? >> we're doing everything we think we need to do but learning as we go along. two things to do. one, vaccinations. it's importance. stop it before it takes hold in an area. once it takes hold like on a cruise ship we saw, quarantining. harder to do. the vaccine part, get the vaccinations. with measles, tends to be 95%, a little higher. 95% of the population has to be protected in a community for everybody to be protected. some places it's not quite that high and colorado lowest in kindergarten vaccinations rates for for mmr and detap. make sure your children are vaccinated. >> people weren't getting kids vaccinatied because they're ignorant and mean it in the literal sense that they just don't understand how it, woulds or have bought into this anti-vax nonsense? >> a balance of both. they're note getting the message about vaccines and why they're beneficial to them and understand that vaccine

john torres. meanwhile, the stock market is clearly rattled at this hour.t the end of an already brutal month. this time, touched off by president trump's tweet announcing new tariffs on mexico. the dow now down over 300 points after the president wrote that tariffs will be imposed until illegal migrants coming through mexico and into our country stop. the white house says the tariffs will start at 5% on june 10th and increase by 5% each month reaching 25% in october. joining me now, nbc news correspondent julia aimsley who covers the dhj, and nick mirof. the u.s. imported i think 346 1/2 billion dollars worth of goods from mexico just last year. and look, the markets had already freaked out in recent months following previous tariffs so what's the concern now and who's going to get hurt by this? >> well, we need to keep in mind that mexican imports go far beyond things like avocados and beer. we're talking about cars, airline parts, appliances, so many of the large consumer goods that americans purchase. this all adds up to a billion dollars a day, so thes
