Upon the jets in the room in the alabama for this arc that we pay a declaration that all life. Matters and that all life is worthy of why do i want to control our bodies i would never ever know. Its about preventing women from the having control over our bodies we will not back we will always continue to fight for what it really shows that there is absolutely no respect for women in Health Care Providers among the legislators who are voting in favor of these laws. Also coming up tonight it has kitsch politics more kit and even more music its that time of year again for the vision song contest my favorite and my bad hopefully is. That french are 19 years old muslim gay and hes now climbed up to 4th place in the odds hopefully a way. To our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with attempts to abort of fortune in america inspired by the presidency of donald trump in the u. S. State of alabama lawmakers have passed legislation that out walls abortion with practically no exceptions but before we go further with protecting the lives. The unborn lets get some context with the epidemic of ending the lives of the living the u. S. Ranks number one among developed countries in gun deaths in fact on average there is almost one mass shooting in america every day in the 20 years since the Columbine High School shooting the us congress has passed no significant legislation on gun control nothing to protect people from being shot to death now from the outside it can seem that us lawmakers are tuned in to the 1st 9 months and tuned out to everything that happens afterwards i want you to take a look at what is happening across the country since march 4th u. S. States have signed socalled heartbeat legislation into law abortions are forbidden as soon as doctors can detect a fetal heartbeat usually 6 weeks in to pregnancy now many women will tell you they do not even realize that they are pregnant that early in the 1st trimester where the white house apparently is in sync with those state legislatures trump has taken his antiabortion rhetoric to Dangerous Levels recently last month he told supporters at a political rally that mothers are having their newborns murdered immediately after birth a claim that is verifiably faults. They wrap the baby beautifully and then the doctor and the mother determine whether or not they will execute the baby i dont. Know since Trump Took Office 2 years ago he has appointed more than 100 conservative judges he has also appointed 2 Supreme Court judges you see them right here in the far right there the man known as Brett Kavanaugh now those 2 men change the composition and the calculus of the Court Conservative justices who critics say if presented the opportunity would overturn the landmark Supreme Court case roe v wade which legalized abortion in all 50 states almost half a century ago. And motions were running high both that cite the Alabama Legislature with proabortion activists rallying against the bill and cite the state senate where lawmakers in gauged in fierce debates. Why do i want to control our bodies. I would never ever know. And i know that many of you have daughters mr wagner conservative legislators say this is about more than the law in alabama they want to see abortion banned nation white and so the focus of this bill certainly is on the child will make its way hopefully up to the Supreme Court where we can revisit roe v wade and place into law places interest prudence of the United States understanding that science and technology has been clear about that there is in fact a life in the womb that life ought to be protected the alabama bill bans abortions at every stage of pregnancy unless a womans life is in danger an amendment to allow exceptions in cases of rape and incest was voted down by doctors who perform the procedure could face up to 1009 years in prison and its the latest in a wave of attempts by states to impose new abortion restrictions last week Georgia Governor Brian Kemp followed kentucky mississippi and ohio in signing a bill that criminalizes abortions performed after 6 weeks with republicans in control of most state legislatures and an increasingly conservative judiciary prochoice activists face an uphill battle to maintain abortion rights one nearly 50 years ago. These are unprecedented times in the United States to talk about where this goes from here im joined by travis change to joins us from the prochoice group center for reproductive rights he is senior counsel for u. S. Litigation that puts him on the front lines of legal battles over abortion travis joins us from new york tonight good to have you on the show the the alabama wall is designed to trigger a legal challenge that will go all the way to the u. S. Supreme court the prolife the advocates for women and their reproductive rights is their camp your camp are you prepared for this battle. Absolutely laws like what we saw in alabama are blatantly unconstitutional and we stand ready to challenge whenever states and act these harmful laws weve already succeeded this year in striking down similar bans in mississippi in North Carolina and the fight continues today yet those bands are being struck down state levels Appellate Court levels but then of course will be appealed and youll go to the Supreme Court what do you do though if this conservative majority u. S. Supreme Court Decides that roe v wade needs to be overturned you know obviously if the u. S. Supreme Court Decides that women in this country no longer have the right to make Reproductive Health decisions its a major change for the worse for women in the United States we are going to fight to ensure that that does not happen weve had 50 years of a recognized right in this country for women to make those decisions for themselves with their doctors and with their family and this Supreme Court even with this change composition we think well recognize that this you know this development is not something that was predicted when donald trump won the presidency its really its been almost a sleeper event that has now erupted but he has been spending the past 2 years packing the court with conservative judges as well as 2 Supreme Court judges i mean thats where the power is at the end of the day you really dont you dont have anything to contest that if you did you see this coming. I think those of us who care deeply about womens rights and reproductive choice have been worried about this for a long time because the campaign to erode roe v wade and to make Reproductive Health care decisions out of reach for women has been going on for decades ever since roe was decided antiabortion forces have been on a steady campaign to make. It legal out of reach and impossible for women to exercise their rights whats changed now is that they have a friend in the white house and so those forces that are opposed to abortion have renewed energy and enthusiasm but their campaign has been in wage for a long time well i mean i would say that what has changed is that they may have friends in the Supreme Court and at the end of the day thats much more powerful than the person who was sitting in the the white hells before we run out of time talk to me about. The polls in support what are the numbers and what percentage of americans think that abortion should remain legal. And overwhelming majority of americans believe that women should have this right and that roe v wade should group maintain the law of the land it is a very small minority of people who think that abortion should be illegal in the states and unfortunately those that small minority has an outsized voice in some of these more conservative states in the United States so were in an interesting time in the history of the United States where the states are really dividing and getting further apart on abortion rights so we have states like the state i live in new york which are. Acting to ensure that this protection is enshrined in state laws and we have other states that are acting to actively erode their rights and to challenge roe and youre right ultimately it will be for the Supreme Court to decide whether were going to have this patchwork of laws across the United States or whether all american women are entitled to this right you know youre in new york this law was passed in alabama i mean these are complete 2 completely different worlds and that thats part of this culture war thats going on in the United States have you thought about what will happen if the Supreme Court were to overturn roe v wade what happens to society in the United States on the day after that route. I dont know exactly what happens to society what i would tell you is that this is been a hotly contested issue in this country for decades and it will remain so regardless of what the Supreme Court decides what happens if we wake up to a World Without roe v wade is that for thousands if not millions of women in the United States Abortion Access will be almost immediately out of reach and for women who dont have the resources to travel there Reproductive Health care decisions will be made for them that is a travesty if that happens and organizations like ours are going to fight to ensure that doesnt happen travis joining us tonight from new york with the prochoice group center for reproductive rights travis we appreciate your time and your insights tonight thank you thank you. He has been called Vladimir Putins public enemy number one the man the russian president loves to hate and would love even more to have arrested bill browder American British investment titan turned human rights advocate he was once a high flying Foreign Investment manager in russia until the kremlin labeled him a threat to National Security the reality is broader is a threat to Vladimir Putin broader was in berlin today lawmakers to join the u. S. And other nations in passing the magnitsky act it enables governments to use all legal means to shut down in freezing russians judged to be responsible for Human Rights Violations i met with brawler this evening to talk about his mission the germans the russians and donald trump. We spend so much time trying to define and explain and analyze the trump putin nexus bromance relationship call it what you want do you understand it can you tell us what it is well i can trump and is a very transparent individual and so hes going to meet his feelings clear them in twitter i mean is public statements that. He really thinks that putin is great he doesnt think that hes a criminal and as he said he wants to get along with him really well now what motivates that. Anyones i dont i dont i cant get inside the head of donald trump to understand whether hes doing this for. Because hes got bad judgment or theres some other incentive but what i can say is is that. His opinions of lattimer putin are just dead wrong what does your experience tell you though i mean you know there is theres always this conspiracy theorist strain in society saying that there must be something that putin knows a belt trump the troops afraid well get out do you know come for much as the russians say do you think theres something they are a plea. Well i dont i mean so moeller had a Good Opportunity of 2 years and wiretaps subpoenas and all that kind of stuff to prove that and at a criminal standard he couldnt prove it and. I mean a more charitable explanation of why trump is behaving this way is that trump is a Real Estate Developer hes a businessman maybe not as riches as some people think he is and he likes really rich guys and putin is one of the richest guys in the world putin but youre really rich guy too im not a rich guy like a lot of reputing is veteran putin is the richest man in the world and so if donald trump is the kind of guy who wants to suck up to rich guys theres no richer guy than Vladimir Putin and and if you look at it theres actually some consistency to this whole thing muhammad bin solomon another human rights violator a killer torturer. Who was maybe as rich as putin or little laster little more who knows but im sure putin there seems to be some consistency in that and that. Trump makes friends with these very rich bad guys and you know weve seen pump a of the u. S. Secretary of state meeting with putin this week and you have the feeling that putin is playing the u. S. Secretary of state when they meet that this is all for show when that putin is really pulling the street do you think he has that much power when i think that its a much more complicated story than that so its so you have trump with his ideas youve got putin with his ideas but try. It is not all powerful hes not a dictator he operates in a system where the presidency is totally connected to all sorts of other things connected to Congress Congress can prevent him from lifting sanctions he doesnt even control his own administration so he has his defense secretary he would tell him to do things jim matters before he resigned in the gym at his wouldnt just wouldnt do him and i know pump aoe is a clear eyed guy about russia and so trump probably says he wants to do certain things with russia and pompei oh probably just doesnt do them. And so when you get inside the when you when you watch these situations you have to think ok what is pump ale want what is Congress Want what are the American People want what does trump want what is putin want and so it gets you know it gets sanded down and distorted and pushed in Different Directions based on all of these different interests and so i dont think putin is running circles around anybody i think that putin has. A great hes in a very powerful position because hes unlike trump he doesnt have any constituents whatsoever he can wake up one day just decide what he wants to do you think is a very dangerous medium for the world and the part of their life mission now is to to rein him in right well i mean i say i dont have to think he is he is. Theres no other head of state that invaded ukraine and invaded georgia and bombed innocent people into oblivion in syria and shot down a passenger plane with 298 innocent people on board whos interfered in the elections of the United States and france and germany and the u. K. And sort of better putin is a menace i mean theres no question its objective its clear hes done a lot of bad stuff and hes done a lot of bad stuff that affects me personally because he was the one responsible for his regime was the one responsible for murdering my lawyer Sergei Magnitsky. After Sergei Magnitsky uncovered a massive putin government corruption scheme and putin was personally involved. In the obstruction of justice of covering up the murder of Sergei Magnitsky personally got involved and so ive seen it up close and personal i see it on a daily basis and i see how putin has reacted to all the work that ive done to get sanctions imposed on his government and thats what brings you to berlin right so im here in berlin to get the magnitsky act passed in germany the magnitsky act is a piece of legislation which imposes visa bans and asset freezes on human rights violators in russia and other countries around the world its named after my lawyer Sergei Magnitsky its been passed in 6 countries including the United States canada and britain Great Britain germany is a very important country for a lot of Different Reasons why hasnt been passed in germany yet well you germany has been a hard nut to crack there is more what i would call a desire to be understanding of russia in germany than other countries i mean an apologist well i dont know if his apology or there is like theres a lot of history here of course going back all the way to the 2nd world war and for whatever reason its very difficult to get germans to take as hard a line on on putins clear criminal actions as other countries what you do for the former president obama. Germany or the german chancellor Angela Merkel it was useful to him he used her as a window into the mind of the letter but the mere putin so the relationship between germany and russia was considered a positive but we dont have that dynamic anymore do you think that the germans or are they naive when they think about the threat posed by but let me well i think that the historically germany has has been less than them thoroughly robust when it comes to Vladimir Putin. The idea that germany will for example become more depend. And on on russia for gas by building north stream is something that perplexes those of us who are looking at it from you so you agree with the troubled ministration that the pipeline deal should be x. Y. I dont think its just the Trump Administration who thinks that i think the the administrations already europe think that i mean its its very few administrations that dont think that its a obvious thing that that if you have russia which is a country that uses all of its power as leverage and has used gas as a weapon and its turned off the gas on numerous occasions to fight with its neighbors all of a sudden become more dependent on russian gas seems to be to meed to be something that i dont understand what standing in the way of germany passing the magnets yet here i think at this point anything is standing the way so so for 4 or 5 years ago there was this idea that we need to like lets just calm down and and try to understand these People Better lets not provoke them maybe we can Work Together putin has proven that that he is a menace to the world and i think that those apologists dont really get much of a voice anymore and i think that there is an actual theres a real appetite now certainly in the biggest dog in the parliament to get a magnitsky can you give me a timeframe when you think its going to be asked is very difficult to predict timeframes when it comes to whats a go well we get the goal is to get it passed in the next 18 months that would be a realistic time frame still chancellor well i dont think it depends on Angela Merkel i think it depends on one defends on the will of the of the parliament it depends on Public Opinion and you should because your biggest supporter in the German Government to report right now well the person who has organized my trip and who is helping set up meetings is the head of the Foreign Affairs committee of the bundestag Norbert Rudd Kim hes a member of Angela Merkels party has a very complicated and successful politician and he has helped me work work to find the other allies not just in his own party but other parties and we have a very full day with people from every differ. The party tomorrow who we believe will be joining our coalition for magnitsky act before we let you go i want to ask you just real briefly about your life. Has tried to have you arrested numerous times we know that he never forgets hes a vengeful person. I mean do you fear for your life i mean when you leave your are you looking over your shoulder well i think the answer is that they threaten me with murder with kidnapping with arrest with that they are suing me theyre making movies about me there and dating me theyre sentencing me in prison i dont let this change my behavior in other words that i may be under risk but what theyre looking for is to to terminate me and and i wont be intimidated i will carry on doing this because it comes back to the murder of Sergei Magnitsky he was killed because he was my lawyer i owe it to him to stand up for him and if i for justice and i wont be intimidated i will back down broader nice to meet you could have your very much.
