US Supreme Court ends constitutional right to abortion
Newshour - A podcast by BBC World Service
The US Supreme Court has ended the constitutional right to abortion, overturning the landmark Roe v Wade ruling from 1973. President Biden said the judgement took America back 150 years but conservatives have welcomed it. Also in the programme: White House security official Admiral John Kirby on the war in Ukraine.
