hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. senate democrats are trying to push through legislation to protect ivf treatments, in response to the alabama supreme courts ruling that embryos are people.
9:32 pm
lots going on either side of the pond on reproductive rates. but, in the wake of the alabama supreme courts ruling that embryos are people, senate democrats are putting down a bill to protect ivf treatments. the illinois senator tammy duckworth is daring republicans to obstruct legislation which would establish a federal right to ivf and other fertility treatments that are at risk in the post—roe era. senator duckworth is an iraq war veteran who suffered grave injuries in combat in 200a. her two children were conceived through ivf. the bill she has proposed would require unanimous consent in orderfor it to pass, and although many republican lawmakers have registered disappointment over the alabama ruling, at least one conservative senator is expected to object. amy yurkanin — senior health

reporter in alabama from ai.com. reporter in alabama from al.com. what some republican senators and lawmakers this week talking about the ruling from the supreme court saying, don't worry about it we will get it sorted. our people in alabama reassured? mat get it sorted. our people in alabama reassured? ., , ., , reassured? not everyone is reassured- _ reassured? not everyone is reassured. right _ reassured? not everyone is reassured. right now - reassured? not everyone is reassured. right now the l reassured? not everyone is - reassured. right now the legislature and lawmakers are indeed trying to put together a fix for this problem. but it is unclear right now whether the laws that are being debated right now, the bills in front of the house and the senate, will really fix it or not. some folks are saying that it may take a state constitutional amendment to fix the ivf issue and give people access to that treatment. if so, that would not be voted on until november. so thatis not be voted on until november. so that is quite a long way for people who would have had to have

9:35 pm
think this ruling is really shook people even those who support those anti—abortion policies. you are right, a lot of conservatives do use fertility treatments including ivf, so i think you are seeing republicans right now try to figure out how to fix this. and how to restore that access. like i said, because it really is not in a popular move to have the shutdown, all of the sudden in the wake of this shocking decision some people shocked, not all. we this shocking decision some people shocked, not all.— this shocking decision some people shocked, not all. we have seen how the dobbs ruling _ shocked, not all. we have seen how the dobbs ruling plays _ shocked, not all. we have seen how the dobbs ruling plays in _ shocked, not all. we have seen how the dobbs ruling plays in the - the dobbs ruling plays in the elections, probably a lot of the things that went wrong for republicans in the midterm elections two years ago were down to the abortion issue because it was not on the ballot in 2020. we forget. we know this how this will be used by

9:40 pm
he is very pleased with the result and is expected to sign it into law next month. there is the issue. there are lots, even into france, there are right—wing senators who do like this. and leaders feel they have to move in response to what happened in the united states. yes. move in response to what happened in the united states.— the united states. yes, and people can have a — the united states. yes, and people can have a different _ the united states. yes, and people can have a different opinion - the united states. yes, and people can have a different opinion and . the united states. yes, and people| can have a different opinion and can feel abortion is not right for them but it comes down, and i hope it is something that when america gets around to having its own renaissance that it enshrines its own constitution, but every individual male female or otherwise has the right to remove something from their body if it does not want it there or if it will cause them some illness or harm. when i was pregnant, one thing i had to consider before, when having scans, whether you are not sure if the baby is ok, one thing i must consider it was the possibility of attendant conditions seen in my fifth family and i wrestled with a
9:41 pm
bit and i decided that as her mother the best thing i could do for my daughter, if she had that condition, would be to terminate because i was saving herfrom would be to terminate because i was saving her from a would be to terminate because i was saving herfrom a lifetime, a very short perhaps a lifetime of misery and pain and a difficulty in childbirth and everything else. and it would be, myjob as her mother to protect herfrom it would be, myjob as her mother to protect her from that, as opposed to myjob protect her from that, as opposed to my job as a protect her from that, as opposed to myjob as a mother to birth her no matter what and force her to endure a difficult situation. not every woman has the same idea, but i think you must be able to have those feelings and come to a decision yourself. it is up to the individual when it boils down to it. it should be something whether brian, me or you that we all have the right to say, do you know what, i don't like that kidney, it's not doing me any favours, i need to take an whatever part of the body that is not doing you the thing that you wanted to do. it is not up to us not someone else. it is not up to us not someone else. i know brian agrees with that because we've talked about it many times before.

9:44 pm
here's the reaction of congresswoman alexandria ocasio—cortez as the committee members emerged. what we just witnessed over the last hour was, i think, a deep sea fishing expedition. because the republican case has completely fallen apart over the last several weeks. after it has been exposed that one of their most key pieces of information was based on a source that was in communication with russian intelligence. they are now trying to scramble to find anything to substantiate their fairy tale, is what we should call this. but i think more disturbingly, we are seeing just a complete, inappropriate expedition into the president's son and for matters on subjects that are completely unrelated to an impeachment investigation. let's get the republican view.

9:51 pm
through — a relief after their defeat in the league cup final at the weekend they'll be at home to leicester in the quarter—finals. fresh from their league cup triumph, liverpool's quadruple quest continues after they beat southampton 3—0 thanks to goals from two 18—year—olds. lewis koumas scored the first and another liverpool youngster jayden danns added two more wit his first goals for the club. and they will play manchester united in the quarterfinals, they beat nottingham forest 1—0, thanks to casemiro's goal in the final minute of normal time. wolves hae beaten brighton 1—0, mario lemina with the winner. they'll play coventry at home in the last 8. rangers have come from behind in the scottish premiership to maintain their lead over celtic at the top of the table. celtic were rampant against dundee, scoring seven goals from 7 different goalscorers,

that finished 7—1 and they would've gone above rangers with a win, but tom lawrence made it 2—1 to philip clement's side at kilmarnock, so rangers are still two points clear. just four days ahead of formula one's opening grand prix of the season in bahrain, red bull's team principal christian horner has been cleared of inappropriate and controlling behaviour towards a female collegaue. red bull say the investigation has been "fair, rigorous and impartial". our sports news correspondent laura scott reports. christian horner has been at the helm of red bull racing for nearly two decades building the team into a dominant force and become one of the most recognisable faces in the paddock often alongside his former spice girl wife. but his future in the sport was put in jeopardy when allegations of inappropriate behaviour were made against him by a female colleague. at the recent season launch he emphatically maintained his innocence. can you guarantee you have never behaved inappropriately
9:53 pm
towards a colleague? i deny any accusations that have been made against me. with the season looming, key figures in the sport had called for a swift resolution. it is very concerning, the allegations are extremely serious and it is certainly seems like things should be coming to an end here quickly because we really need to be talking about formula 1 as we go to the start of the year. just 72 hours till the first race, came the news that he had been cleared of misconduct following an independent investigation with a statement from the parent company saying... while everyone here at the team's base in milton keynes has been trying to operate as close to business as usual as possible, christian horner has acknowledged this matter has been a distraction
9:54 pm
as the start of the season looms. only time will tell if results on the track will reflect that. this was horner in for testing now knowing he will stay on as chief. he and sport organisers will be relieved that the investigation was completed before the lights go out for the first grand prix of the year but given the chance of an appeal, this might not be the end of the road. andy murray say�*s he's unlikely to play beyond the summer, but hopes to be given another chance to compete at what would be a fifth olympic games. the three—time grand slam winner took olympic gold at both london 2012 and rio 2016. but he's struggling this season — murray lost in straight sets to ugo humbert in the second round of the dubai championships. he say�*s he's getting bored of questions about his future and won't talk about it again until he decides to quit. he's currently ranked 67th in the world but could get into the draw for the paris olympics as a former champion. and, england s mel reid has been named as one of suzann pettersen's

for vice captain's for tis year's solheim cup in the usa. the six—time ladies european tour winner, joins dame laura davies, anna nordqvist and caroline martens as vice—captains for the prestigious biennial competition. europe will be bidding to keep the trophy for a historic fourth time when it takes place in virginia, in september. and that's all the sport for now. hello. well, it's certainly been a cloudy day today. the cloud has been extensive across the uk — but we did manage a few breaks in the cloud, particularly across northern and eastern scotland, and to the eastern side of the pennines, as well. and that did allow some limited bright spells through — edinburgh, one of the cheerier places. otherwise, there was some drizzle, particularly across western areas. it was mild — 13 celsius recorded in exeter earlier on. now overnight tonight, we've got a band of rain that's set to move its way southwards and eastwards across the country. that will clear away from scotland and northern ireland, where we'll see some fairly heavy showers working in during the second half of the night.
9:56 pm
temperatures about 5—6 celsius in the north, but ten across east anglia, in southeast england, where it'll be a very mild start to thursday. thursday will see cooler air work in from the north and west, but a weather front will bring some persistent outbreaks of rain across east anglia and southeast england, where it'll probably be raining, for some of you, pretty much all day. away from that, brighter weather conditions, but sunshine and showers for scotland and northern ireland where the showers will be heavy with some hail mixed in. temperatures about 7—9 celsius, so a smidge below average for this time of year. on into friday's forecast — where we've got this area of low pressure and this occluded front that's set to bring the risk of some hill snow. now, the risk area's really across the higher areas of northern ireland, the southern uplands, in scotland, peaks, pennines, cumbrianfells, and northern parts of wales. above 200 metres elevation — that's where the greatest risk of snow is. there could be some places that see a little bit more than five centimetres of snow bringing the threat of some disruption. however, at lower elevations
9:57 pm
where the vast majority of us live, we're looking atjust cold outbreaks of rain. and underneath this slow—moving band of rain, i think for a good chunk of the day, temperatures really will struggle at around three celsius or so. away from that, we're about 7—9 celsius. on into the weekend's forecast, the same area of low pressure stays overhead. so it's an unsettled start to the weekend, a day on saturday of sunshine and showers. the showers heavy with some hail, thunder, a bit of sleet mixed — and still cold enough for a bit of snow across the highest hills in the north of the uk — and temperatures again just running a little bit below average, particularly so across the northern half of the country. a few more showers into sunday, then next week, rain at times in the west. largely dry across the east.
