US abortion law change

A leaked document from the Supreme Court suggests that the national right to an abortion may be overturned.

We go to the US, where rival protesters have been demonstrating outside the US Supreme Court after a leaked document suggested it's about to overturn the ruling that legalised abortion nationwide. Scrapping the law would immediately make abortion illegal in 22 states. We look at what this could mean, both politically and culturally for the US. Our senior North America reporter answers questions from our listeners on this. And we hear from women on either side of the debate.

We鈥檒l also bring the latest on the war in Ukraine where hundreds of Ukrainian civilians are still trapped in Mariupol steelworks as Russia resumes its attacks. We get the latest from our correspondents on the ground. And we hear a conversation with people who have just fled the Russian-occupied southern city of Kherson.
