health of crossover to heidi, so cast her, she's just outside the supreme court in washington, d. c. where the protests are taking place. heidi just tell us what you've been seeing on hearing during there have been relatively continuous protest. you're outside the us supreme court now going on more than 24 hours since that monumental case coming out of this building, which essentially divided the country in half in terms of where you can get an abortion of your american women and where you can't feeling those shock waves still roll across the country with now at 20 us states in acting immediate bands or effects of ban on abortion. and you can just feel the energy here of people who are very angry about this. but it is the day after the supreme court ruling essentially the arm of the u. s. government that has the last word on most things. so we're talking to professors about what they can still accomplish. can i get your name

please? my name is montana, montana. i know you came out here from another state and what is, what voice, are you? what are you trying to stay with your voice? yeah, i think here i'm just in call it area with all the people speaking and it's mainly to voice my personal fear. it's very paralyzing my sense of my rights disappearing and you know, my future potentially being taken from me if an accident were to happen. and i think that i'm very afraid of that and i see it. and it's just like becoming worse . you know, we've seen clear plants, thomas is concurring opinion, that they're coming for the same sex marriage and contraceptive. and it feels very archaic. and so i'm here to, i'm here to stand up for my rights and i'm here to try and been up for what's right . thank you, montana. i'm going to turn to your friend. i know that you came also from another state and there is concern here that this is a right word. turn of the u. s. supreme court. are you also fearful of what this

means for other rights? i absolutely am. i think that's another massive reason why i'm here. i think it set the precedent that is terrifying. frankly. the have. have this decision be made about our bodies be made about women, bodies by people who simply aren't qualified to make this decision? i think is a terrifying turn and so i think standing up and speaking out now is, is really what we can do to try and prevent war from happening in the future though . it's gary battle. thank you. you know, what can you do? right. and i want to turn to you next. this might be the tough question of all because many people are saying this was the final word. so what is the point of still coming and protesting? now, i think to be honest, hopefully to get, i mean, the democrats have the majority in the house and senate and so and so like signals that they need to be taking more action and stronger action because for a year and a half now they've kind of been trying the bipartisan route and now where we're at

right now and i could pack the courts in the day. they couldn't teach justice, you know, they could take more extreme action that i think the majority of the country would actually support. so i think that's kind of where we're at at this point. thank you so much. thank you for voicing. what many here are calling a wake up call for the country? you know, there was a draft report, a draft leak that ro versus way the right to abortion would be overturned. and people knew for weeks this coming at still, they're saying that they felt shocked to read because after 50 years of having this as a right in the constitution as interpreted by the previous supreme court for that and suddenly disappear over night is something that for these protesters is very difficult to swallow. yeah. and for a lot of people, heidi, thank you so much for the time being heidi. so catherine reporting for us from washington d. c. the supreme court's ruling has led to outrage and some cities as you've been hearing, but praise and others, rob reynolds has more from los angeles. oh,

including california will help women travel from states where the procedure is banned, says governor gavin newsome, if you're from another state and you come in in the state of california, we're not going to be asking for your id. under survey by the university of california indicates that soon as many as 16000 women may be coming to california to terminate their pregnancies. that could put a severe strain on the state system of more than 100 women's health care clinics. the right wing dominated supreme court may not be finished in its efforts to roll back previous rulings. one member of the court wrote that it should begin to reconsider laws allowing contraception and same sex marriage, rob reynolds al jazeera los angeles, and staying in the us significant gun control legislation has been signed into law for the 1st time and 3 decades. president joe biden says, while the bipartisan bill doesn't do everything he wanted,

necessarily a daily event, but it's likely to mean we exceed the average rainfall in this part of indonesia. and where the rain is more seasonal. you might expect this time the year and you did see last week heavy rain in this punch on it. there was flooding, for example, this is a little early to see seasonal, right? that's what it looks like. north of the anc see before the end of july is a little bit on the early side and that stretching out through the yellow sea awards. well, it's missing beijing, probably a bit towards north korean, south korea, this is definitely a proper system. take you where the energy from the clouds for the south, which don't really exist and giving waltz or allowing walton japan. $33.00, for example, in tokyo, that correspondence with the monsoon front, which more or less is the edge of these classes in dolton, india. the heaviest rain is down on the west and gats, but the rain has reached now a long way north. cats are air white, official ally of the journey. oh,

a sci fi isn't host and says the country needs more international help. people are extremely desperate, they lost their homes, which means they lost everything in them. you know, from basic cooking supplies to, you know, beds and sheets and pillows to sleep on, to clothing, to shelter to everything. you know, they lost everything that they worked so hard for everything that they built when these mom houses came crashing down. and so earlier today here at the host airport, we saw flights coming in from the, from the united arab emirates. we also saw a group from a fiber across the drown line who are here to deliver medical aid. so slowly, international aid is becoming more system, a ties. it's coming in more frequently. a represent from a representative from charity. told us that throughout the week is would be bringing more and more aid, including potential medical aid in the coming days. and other countries have also promised more. so it's really showing signs that the rest of the world is starting

to take this issue. seriously, in doing what they can to help the people above on the sun, the ukrainian troops are withdrawn from the strategic eastern city as to a verizon. yes. after the order was given to pull back on friday, russian forces and are moving just around the 2nd city in the low hon. screech and russia has been raining down artillery and air strike some boast your verizon. yes, godless chance, which lies just across the river. much of the fire power is concentrated on the as all chemical plants where 100 the civilians on ukrainian forces. i've been sheltering. charles stratford has more from keith. the withdrawal of ukrainian forces from the besieged city of several the nets can eastern ukraine continues a particularly complex military operation. we understand may difficult by the fact that it would involve potentially hundreds if not thousands of soldiers and

civilians having to cross a river. a river, the bridges which that crossed it up until a couple of weeks ago, now completely destroyed. now the south, the town south of that river, lucy chanced also coming on the heavy bombardment. the reason why this is so significant is because lisa chance considered an escalate only 2 cities in the loo guns region that russian forces do not fully control. we also understand that russian forces are pushing up towards lisa chance from the south. they're trying to cut the supply line. there are a very important road. they also control large areas to the west. so very much share the situation there of critical importance for as i say, potentially thousands of ukrainian soldiers and civilians. samuel romani is a geopolitical security analyst and an associate fellow at the royal united services institute. he says russia is succeeding that it's offensive in eastern

ukraine. but the next stage is might be more difficult. a deb latest ukraine asked him as showed 95 percent control of the guy in the hands of russia and disability in the answers and city of 1000 people before. busy the war now greatly reduced because the conflict is a major step towards achieving that. they get these is chance because they already have a partner. they have complete. busy control over the area, but i think it's a negligible blow to the crane economy because they already control the industrial heartlands. during the 2014, in 2015 war u. k, mostly held over farmland and some chemical before this. i think it's going to be period. so moving advances as time i think one still has falls to russia, it's going to be hard though for them in the next few stages. they've not been. busy to prove to be able to bombard a major city into submission. so that means turkey, their deaths are going to be hard targets. they repeatedly failed to cross the diversity needs river, which is important for the campaign. the virgin. yes, take over, give them a, put all of that river,

but movie armored personnel moving apc's and other equipment across has been very difficult for them. so i think that the best maybe to come for ukraine, because even if they lose the, has the time to regroup logic, counter events of, on cars on and also valve, a steady supply of weapons coming in from the left. whereas russia mainly burning through equipment and can replace what mad at the speed in which is expanding it. and after advantage for you or gigi in the long run, rock on authority, say 18. my grids have been killed while storming the border separating the spanish enclave of malea from morocco, spain set about 130 people succeeded in reaching the fence. after nearly 2000 made the attempt, dozens of people including police officers, were injured. the spanish prime minister blamed the incidents on people, traffickers, join you. but i don't miss that. he said i have expressed my solidarity and vindicated the extraordinary work being done by the state security forces of our country. some of them were injured because of this violence of salt. i want to

highlight the violent and organized assault by mafia's traffic, human beings to a city on spanish territory. therefore, it was an attack on the territorial integrity of our country in a violent manner. cutters, emir has visited egypt for talks of president hampton, for 50, should come in, but how much was done. he was greeted in cairo by president c. c. they discuss normalizing ties and investment on cooperation, especially in the energy and agricultural sector is. danielle buffer is the director of the gulf international forum. she says this visit is an important moment for the region from others perspective. having fully normalized relations with egypt is an important milestone after a 4 year long blockade and marks an important turning point for regional politics. and this solidifies
