and the supreme court has a majority of conservative judges. i'm guessing from your earlier comments, you expect them to continue along these lines with future rulings. yes, in fact, well, the majority opinion, written by justice leaders said that they're not doing anything but addressing abortion. concurring opinion, justice thomas said no, no, no. i want to look at other things like other rights have been established like the right to same sex marriage. and i think it is a real slippery slope right now that we've got a 5 person majority that can run things. and one of the people who's sitting there should be married garland obama's nominee who is blocked for almost a year and a half. so you've not only got a problem of the court that is doing things that the majority do not want in this country. but there's a real question about whether it's a legitimate court, and that's a really awful situation to be in because courts are only as good as their legitimacy. and this is really being called into question with this opinion today. right, jim rona

a position recent polls suggest is supported by a strong majority of americans. jim ronald is a lawyer at a u. s. presidential historian, i spoke to him earlier and asked what this supreme court ruling means for women in the united states. well, thank you for having me. it is a radical decision. this is a complete change of law that has existed for 50 years. given women the right to choose how they deal with the pregnancy, and so this has enormous consequences. it also has consequences well beyond abortion as now attacks will come against same sex marriage in all sorts of other issues that fall under constitutional protection. so make no mistake, this is a radical decision. polls suggest that the majority of americans support the right to abortion. so is this the final word now all can americans, for example, lobby their lawmakers to adjust or to amend the constitution? it's not the final word. congress could pass a law that recognizes ro, or some version of ro, i would argue that they should recognize a version that draws the line, maybe in about 15 weeks. and a

there is a clear majority for change in this country. more than 70 percent of people say that they want change in in columbia. now they have a government that is promising it a government that has never been in power and, and so definitely this is a new page. it in and the history of column in politics. all right, thank you so much on a sandra petty reporting for us from columbia. early projections indicate that president too many one micron has fallen short of an outright majority in france is parliamentary elections after a strong performance by rival parties. the final results could also see microns health and environment ministers losing their seats. macros camp is projected 2 in 224 seats, making it the biggest blog, but that short of a 289 needed for an absolute majority. that could push through key policy reforms abroad, left green lions, the new block headed by zone. luke went on shawl, is on track to becoming the largest opposition party with a predicted 149 seats. but the big surprise of the night is the projection that marina

the majority opinion. the concurrence seems to limit the rationale for striking down this new york law to the standard of discretion in the new york regime. as you mentioned, it has this long quote from the heller opinion that lists the kind of regulations that were considered presented lee lawful, whatever that means. some of those regulations don't seem to have nearly the kind of historical degree that this new york statute had. if the new york statute could not cut it, how do things like prohibitions on the mentally ill or sensitive laces are the kinds of laws described here like schools and government oldies, how do those get upheld. i'm wondering how you see the litigation playing out on this. these two justices joined the majority opinion but they also seems to be sending a strong signal to the lower courts that a lot of these kind of regulations should be upheld. caroline: pres. biden: it's an darrell: darrell: excellent question and i can imagine a couple of directions. one might be that regulators

not a majority in favor of what happened today. so how divided then is america really when it comes to abortion? well, this is one of the most devices and probably also one of the most emotional issues here in the united states. and therefore we are just just seeing some law enforcement coming. we just heard from officials that they are really worried that this really might turn into some aggression. they are getting prepared for some riots later on today. why? because this is so divisive and so emotion, emotional, and as you said, friend, the majority of the americans is not against abortion. but the majority in the supreme court right here behind me, it's against abortion. and that probably makes his country even more divided than it already is. and give us a sense in his, of just the security situation where you are and you know, there's been images of police in riot gear, walking towards the supreme court in the capitol building. i mean, how concerned are you in people there for your own safety and i'm not concerned about my ow

the majority approves states doing so today.ecision strips women of agency over what even the majority agrees is a contested and contestable moral issue. it forces her to carry out the state's will, whatever the circumstances and whatever the harm it will wreak on her and her family. in the 14th amendment's terms, it takes away her liberty. >> the dissent had a lot of problems, obviously, with the majority opinion. first, the history. the point they made clearly was that the history that the majority relied upon, the laws at the time that they looked at were all made by men. women at the time did not have rights, basically any rights at all, so that was one flaw. the other very important flaw they felt was that the majority failed to stand by old precedent , and that is known as stare decisis. they felt the majority did not properly apply the factors the court has generally applied in determining if they will overrule an earlier precedent, factors like reliance and workability, so i think those were the two main takeaways. one o

this is a really major takedown of the administrative state here, poppy. >> it is a major takedown of the administrative state, jessica, because it goes way beyond the epa. quick follow-up for you. if you need to read more to fully understand it, i completely get that. did this court overturn chevron deference? do we know? >> reporter: we're still looking at the opinion here. >> okay. >> reporter: it's very specific as to implicating the major questions doctrine saying epa doesn't have this authority. but as to how it plays with chevron deference, which is giving agencies deference when it's not specifically written into a statute, we have to look more into that, poppy. >> i'll let you do that, jessica. come back to us when you have more. jeffrey toobin, we were just talking about the major questions doctrine. this court this term has used that doctrine to say no vaccine mandate, osha, you can't do that, you can't have an eviction moratorium, and no, epa, you cannot issue this. >> that's right. >> that's a huge deal. >> it's a huge deal, but this case could be worse for the administra

major delays in the system for bart this morning.hey're saying it's all because of a computer failure advising people to find alternate forms of transportation. that means a lot of people will probably jump in their cars and try to get across the bay area but there are also advises the people that mutual aid is being divided by uni, ac transit and contra costa connection at this time. the bart stations are quite right now because they are all reliant on this computer system to get the trains up and moving, but they have been down and out this morning. no doubt they are trying to fix those as quickly as possible but they advise everyone to seek alternate transportation if you rely on bay area rapid transit. we are keeping our eyes on everything going on. in the meantime, the bay area will see a warm-up. it's a nice start to our wednesday morning. >> a lot of people are unfortunately going to be late for work today. you're like him all my comes, i can wait for the we can. let's talk about's going on. in livermore, we have the radio and

he'll have a majority as far as the relative, but he will not have a majority of pure majority that he currently has right now. so last minutes i think right now the folder showing you actually come in with about somewhere around 250 delegates, where right now go over 300, a needs 289. they have a clear majority. and the biggest danner, the next is mila johns party. so he has like 100 and bought around 150. and then surprisingly le pems party had a tenfold increase more than 10 pulled. they went from 7 delegates up to near 90. so you've got a major voice on both sides. so you're really going to have a major opposition and i don't think either the the right or the left will actually teen. he'll have to try to maybe piece together smaller parties, but i don't think i maybe the left will maybe meliss shotwell, but he minder saying is he's going to want somebody of his party to be the prime minister problem so. so i don't know what kind of deals going to be made, but it will definitely have an impact on french policy going forward. whatever. however, deal is occurred and you're going to ha

if there is a very tense majority. why many michael and of course, all of the questions that are very essential to the french voters. the power of life, or the level of life, the increase, the goods that needed for fuel for heating for transportation or the reforms that the president wanted to shake off. as you mentioned, a concerning the pension system and concerning the cost of life concerning the impact, economical impact of the covey crisis, which is more or less finished and the crisis to come economical places to come on behalf of the training prices are some of the milestone that the french president put out in is political offer. if he hasn't a, that big majority, this wouldn't be the them, the showcase or with this will be the proof that the president did not really convinced us both for the president solution and this legislative election, which seems to be the 3rd round of the presidential elections. as john manage on himself has cast thanks, emanuel dupree for those thoughts there. i am not allowed on elect

the next question was how big with the majority would be, just under 5000 was a majority.on here, and won by a decent margin. it will be really interesting for the conservatives because many of the mps and is part of the world that backed borisjohnson and the vote of no—confidence and the vote of no—confidence and did because borisjohnson was a vote winner and an election winner. that has not been the case tonight in wakefield. the conservatives also say this was a specific by—election, not necessarily about the two parties but we are here because the former mp ahmed carmen was in prison, appealing his conviction, but they will say it was a specific by—election for a specific reason —— khan. labour very happy and they feel they can win back some of the seats like wakefield that they lost in 2019. g . , wakefield that they lost in 2019. , ., ., ~ wakefield that they lost in 2019. , ., ., 2019. james comer thank you very much — 2019. james comer thank you very much indeed, _ 2019. james comer thank you very much indeed, the - 2019. james comer thank you very much indeed, the

but he did succeed in some of his major objectives when he was in in the majority as well. but obstructions easier than governing. well, yeah, that's interesting. you would say that i just read the other day that. he was asked what the the problems with inflation the economy. and what would republicans do if they gotten the majority and he his responses? well, you'll have to you have to elect us to find out here. we'll tell you later have no no plan. to talk about if they have a plan at all. so let's study. he does have a thesis there, which is a very strong part of what he does. he believes that the party and power is going to be held responsible for the conditions and the country and so if biden is having trouble and the country is angry about a whole range of things and frustrated understandably with things that will reward the out party. that's his it's his plan. so is probably a bipartisan consensus on on that? i would think the democrats would probably although they wouldn't want public publicly say that would probably agree with that. well, naturally, i being an opti

if i believe now in monterey micro does have the, you know, the majority of the absolute majority because of his, you know, failure, he couldn't go, you know, on the ground to convince 2 arguments. and to try to persuade the french people well above this election. i believe these in france, particularly in france, but in general, in europe, these, in a democracy is crisis in for us to not forget that we had the best movement. you know, when you know, who went in the street or protesting against the macro, can the, you know, the liberal economy against the quantity, the social inequality. so i believe now the central could try to negotiate on case by case, you know, with lawyer make it to, from the center, lit, and from the conservative party, with the goal of preventing position william maker from being numerous, tens of thousands of rominger refugees are protested in bangladesh, demanding to be returned home to me and mar. more than a 1000000 refugees live in congested comes, and se mangled us after seeing a brutal military correct. down in 2017, they have no access to work or education

give me a majority. in one week, voters will return to the polls for the 2nd round of the election and will determine how france is governed for the next 5 years. whether there will be a swing to the left or more of the same. natasha butler. i'll just say we're power . let's go to joe as lie for us in paris. jonah, was the reaction. been to this 1st round of results? well, the newspaper front page is carrying stories like that one in paris yet and talking about the sort of urgent scrambled out in a frantic last week of campaigning by microns centrists to try and secure that majority is prime minister. elizabeth born a candidate in the national assembly, calling on voters to embrace a majority to vote for stable, cohesive government in the face of. he cannot make instability at home and problems on the international stage the left. meanwhile, they're not going to secure and outright majority, but they are going to become the main opposition force liberal. the heralding the return of the left as a force in

not a majority in favor of what happened today. so how divided then is america really when it comes to abortion? well, this is one of the most devices and probably also one of the most emotional issues here in the united states. and therefore we just just seeing some law enforcement coming. we just heard from officials that they are really worried that this really might turn into some aggression. they are getting prepared for some riots later on today. why? because this is so divisive and so emotion, emotional, and as you said, friend, the majority of the americans is not against abortion. but the majority in the supreme court right here behind me is against abortion. and that probably makes his country even more divided than it already is. our washington bureau chief in his poll outside of the u. s. supreme court in if they are the supreme court's roy versus wait ruling was always controversial for the past 50 years. it supporters have feared that this day would calm its opponents have now achieved what they spent half a century f

and manual mccoy needed 289 seats to keep majority. and although the president centrist on sambal coalition remains the biggest party, it secured only $245.00 seats left way alliance, the new ecological and social popular union dub. nope, united behind the left leader john luke miller, sean, it's said to be the main opposition group with $131.00 seats. and the biggest surprise, the far right leader marine la penn national rally party scored 189 seats up from just 8. 5 years ago. the traditional right, the republicans saw their vote collapse to 61 seats. the remaining 51, a held by other parties or leaders of the far left on the far right say they're determined to complicate microns legislative agenda. did you know she just, jo, it's a totally unexpected situation. absolutely unheard of. the collapse of the presidential party is total, and no majority is presented. we have achieved the political objectives that we had said ourselves in less than a month to bring down the one who with such arrogance, had twisted the arm of the whole coun

that's left president manuel macro with no clear majority. a laughing alliance led by john luke, millennial is now the main opposition. the fall right, is also make tickets. and gustavo petro has been elected columbia's 1st left wing president, and in decades of conservative rule, the former rebel fight as secure just over 50 percent of the vote. 3 points ahead of right wing populates 2 rodolfo amendments elsewhere g, a z. as in boy, have gone on strike and protest against low salaries and poll working conditions. it's the 2nd war count by nurses and other health professionals since the pandemic began. how rumour tasa sent this update from holiday health workers in zimbabwe. know they are taking a big risk being out in protesting, calling for better working conditions and pay in the past. some of them has been victimized and the races was speaking out over the conditions at the public hospitals and clinics across the country over the weekend. they rejected a government offer of a wage increase of a 100 percent. like to say, that is no way in

it looks unequivocal that he has lost his majority, his absolute majority in parliament.g slightly different pictures. farfrom being the last word on this but it does look as if emmanuel macron's party will be getting around about 230 seats in parliament maybe as as much as one —— 260 but whatever, it is far shorter than the 289 he needs for the majority by himself in parliament. so this is a big blow for macron, he cannot rely on getting his own reforms through parliament without help from somebody else. you will that be? the second party in this parliament will be the far left coalition run by jean—luc melenchon which looks like it will get between 150 and 190 seats. the big surprise of the evening is a very strong showing for the front national, the far right who were expecting to get 30 or 40 seats, they look like they will get 90 seats and then the moderate conservative opposition looks like it will get 60 or 70 or perhaps as few as 40. it looks probable therefore that macron might be able to form some ad hoc coalition, and arrangement with the moderate conservatives

what the polls are saying is rather that in my, my call could either loses majority the absolute majority. that is, you know, 50 percent of the seats plus one or have a, you know, smaller number of seats. and in any case, a man in my car is likely to face more opposition in parliament for his reform politics. and he will need half. we need to take into account the opinions of left wing voters and when he does policies in the come in coming 5 years really. and so it sounds like, even if michael's party wins in the coming hours with a slight majority or close to, it's not going to be all smooth sailing for him. well, absolutely. you know, there are a lot of international crisis. as you said, there's the ukraine war ongoing and obviously is also climate change that he will have to face. and also, domestically speaking, in my, my call, he knows that many people want him to actually shift his policies away from what they perceive as writing policies. many french people, many voters i have been talking to today. he had told me, you know, we don't necessarily want the left wing lines to win the

is a major change. let's remembered that his victory represents the 1st time that the left to wink takes power in the country. columbia has been enrolled for debt, gets for mainly to political parties, and this is a major change that has promised us left to wink of policies. saw shell of policies and there are lots of expectations on is that government that will start on august 7th, the saw in a little bit more than a month or i sort of gets colby's going through a shift to the left. but at the same time, both candidates ran on platforms rejecting the political establishment. so why are colombian so dissatisfied with their government? because as i say that columbia was a rule for mainly to political parties for decades. and during decades they didn't . they weren't able to tackle the main south country columbia, whence ah, into our civil war for more than 50 years. columbia was have been fighting against drug trafficking, i mean the golden age of drug trafficking and via the government. so in this count

there is no majority. we have achieved the political objective that we had set for ourselves in less than a month to bring down the man who, with such arrogance, had twisted the arm of the whole country who had been elected without knowing what 4 of your dog you're bogged b board so we'll start to pick what they are. ah, the fall rides national rally party also surged in the polls and is projected to increase it seats 10 fold. it's biggest ever results. lead a marine le pen said her party had achieved its goal of making macros. a minority president le pen los out to mac, ron in last month's presidential election. but sundays results shows strong support across france, who parties at the political extremes w's. lisa lewis is in paris. i asked her what the last of the absolute majority of parliament means for the president. it is a crushing defeat for a president. in my call here in france. obviously, polls were predicting, he might lose his majority in parliament, but not add at that reserves we did. it's l

the majority of the americans are not against abortion, but the majority the supreme court right hereind me is against abortion, and that probably makes his country more divided than it already is. anchor: give us a sense of the security situation where you are. there have been images of police and right gear walking towards a supreme court in the capitol building. how concerned are you and people therefore your own safety? correspondent: i am not concerned about my own safety, as for now. so far, it has been peaceful. we have seen some clashes between the two sides, because we also have to keep in mind that there are many americans who applaud this decision, but we will see what will happen when it gets dark. most people here are really kind of sad and worried what will happen to all those women who are in need of an abortion. anchor: our washington bureau chief outside the u.s. supreme court, thank you. the reversal of roe v. wade is expected to win minorities disproportionately -- affect minorities disproportionate more. i spoke with the national director for the national latino in

one week to convince one week to obtain a strong and clear majority only this strong and clear majority will allow us to respond to the urgent needs that weigh on the daily lives of the french and meet the challenges of the future. in the face of the situation in the world and the war at the gates of europe, we cannot take the risk of instability. in the face of extremes, we alone are carrying out could hear answer and clarity. >> a record beabstension with me than 50% in the war in ukraine in the background. that is a key issue. some of the ministers are at risk themselves. if the ministers fail to get elected, they he ave to leave te government emmanuel macron could lose in the second round of the election all of this to watch out for it is hard to govern france and harder in the next five years in macron fails to get outright majority. >> charlotte, thank you for bringing us up to speed. i look forward to the coverage of the second round. >>> i want to take you back to china. we have a few more lines coming through on the situation in beijing which is one i certainly would keep a clo

there is undoubtedly a conservative majority. in the court.rise at all that the chief justice penned the separate opinion. he is a very conservative. but he is an institutionalist. we saw him raise this line of arguments at the -- in december. saying, effectively, we do not have to formally overrule roe and casey right now. we can still uphold the mississippi law. there didn't seem to be any other support for that line of thinking. at the orlando meant in december. and we saw today that some of the conservative justices, none of the other conservative justices, bought into. it's the chief justice was conferring the opinion all by himself. >> so, one of the questions i had for you, megan, is that we are starting to hear rumblings from 80s to get done here today, from the president of the united states. i'd say with the only way to overthrow the waste by codify roe v. wade. and that means we are talking about the midterm elections. when we say the right now? when the american people to do right now? if you believe that is a pathway to ensure tha

every single state where the majority of the state majority is in favor of banning abortion will in fact you sell and 13 of them will are in effect now ah, literally now. so if there were an abortion this afternoon, it would be subject to those laws. is there any way i do not? yeah, but is there any way of, of, of, of turning this where i mean, constitutionally what more illegally what, what happens that water campaigners after due to gifts the court to reverse this decision. that's not really an option other than amending the constitution or attempting to change the composition court back the battle has to turn to the political battle ground. at this point, it's important to know that abortion is still going to be legal in those states that don't have majorities, that would bayonet. so we got this, you know, polarized pattern of states in america, where in one state, it's completely legal and another state. it's criminal and so there's either going to have to be federal action and, or as one of your, one of the activists was saying, there's going to have to be such an enormous political

majority.poll found something like 22% of the population were firmly in favour of having an elected head of state. so, these are big numbers, you know, we're not talking about a fringe of people. i felt that during the hours and hours of coverage of the jubilee events the bbc could have made a bit more of an effort to include some contrary points of viewjust to balance things up a bit. even allowing for the fact that the bbc might say, well, we are covering that platinum jubilee and it was important to cover in the right amount. you have a concern about the tone as well, don't you? yes. i think at times the tone was rather too deferential. all public figures deserve respect, but i think the level of respect shown was a bit excessive. on the other hand, at other times it was a bit gushing. i think as licence payrts we have the right to expect the bbcjournalists will act in a slightly detached way when they are reporting on these matters and be a bit more objective. thank you. richard, can you ad

but without the need an absolute majority of $289.00 seats. the french president is expected to face challenges in pushing his reform agenda forward. his main rivals, a new left wing alliance lead by is on luke marshall, fell short of 200 seats according to early estimates. well, let's get more on this from d. w is lisa lewis, who is in paris for us. so what does all the, what does the loss of the absolute majority now mean for my con lisa? well, in my car will have to change his policies. really, it is quite certain that certain of a sudden reforms that he is planning, such as for example, pushing up the retirement age from 62 to 6465 will be very difficult to get through parliament. he will have to compose with other forces on the left and on the right . and if he wants to form a stable alliance with other parties in parliament, that could even mean that he will half through. you would have to proceed to a re shuffle of his government at least a partial reshuffle to build another stable group in parliament. what is for sure though, is that t

if you have $289.00, then you have a majority, vary and stable majority. but to majority this time, as you mention puzzle nicole will maybe not have this majority last time we had 240 and peace. so he didn't need anybody to rule this time. he will have to have a coalition. the question is not very difficult to find. it is with his opponent from the conservative party, even they, even if they have maybe one 3rd of the m p 's, they had less time. they can be, let's say, i had you say this in french a. m o, a tentative party or they can be playing the major will even they even if they don't have a lot of empties and brittany coming back to the 1st question about what it will change for the ruling of this country. well, of course, if you have a strong minority, the question is about the number of employees you have. if you have 76 m p 's on a number of 7577, you can launch what it we, yukon is censorship. mostly. if you're not in accordance with the law, you can sense of that clause. it will delay the procedure of abiding by that law and application of the law
