temporarily blocked a lowe court ruling that would have restricted the availability of mifepristone, one of two drugs used to induce a medicatio abortion, which is the mos common method of abortion in the united states. that means at least for th time being, mifepristone wil remain legal, and will be made available, according to curren fda regulations, where abortio is still legal it could be sent and receive through the mail, prescribed t patients by medica professionals over telehealt consultations, and can be used up to the tenth week o pregnancy. this is the first time that th supreme court has weighed in o the issue of abortion since th conservative majority decide to overturn roe v. wade less than a year ago. as is typical when the supreme court makes a ruling on an emergency appeal, the majority did not provide an opinion t explain that ruling. not to be know exactly how eac justice voted, except fo justices samuel alito an clarence thomas, spoke of whom noted in the o
is taking russia down a very dark road. people like vladimir kara-murz are trying to stop him, an vladimir is a symbol he is also in the same categor as martin luther king, nelso mandela, - pawel, nathan chemerinsky, these are all famous political prisoners. he is now a historic, famous political prisoner, and he wil be a symbol for everything tha is not putin everything russia should be, instead of what is right now i want to illustrate, and o course, your book, read notice illustrates this very well your first book. back when you first learned yo were in trouble in russia, you got out because you had an accountant pursuing the things you were looking for that s accountant died in custody, at the hands of th authority. surrogate magnitsky, the namesake for the global back i its key justice campaign vladimir lawyer has left the country under because he was warned of threats against him. that is how it works in russia
dutch government in the last year has been supported by the german government by the french government by various canon avian governments and i think it s something that will happen and it only improves our the probability of it happening with this european court for human rights ruling because to the extent that anyone believed the russian narrative which which you just summarized very nicely that has been rubbish by this court ruling you have been investigating what happened to the millions of dollars that disappeared when your investment fund was raided what were your findings. that one of the most important findings is that so we paid to the russian government $230000000.00 of taxes and what surrogate magnitsky had discovered was that a group of corrupt officials we funded those taxes to themselves we ve traced that money and the most important recipient is a man named surrogate role doogan who is who was exposed by the panama papers as
came out which showed that a man named surrogate role doogan who s a famous cellist and a very close friend of lattimer putin received some of the money and most people know surrogate role doogan to be nominee and so we can we can effectively say that vladimir putin was a beneficiary of the crime that surrogate magnitsky exposed and was killed over and that s why one of the reasons why vladimir putin is so worried about the magnitsky act because it applies to him personally and that s one of the reasons why he s made it such a high priority to repeal the magnitsky act you know is it true talking about stolen money tax evasion to me ask you something about today s court decision the court said that russian authorities had reasonable grounds to suspect that sergei magnitsky was a tax evader they condemned the circumstances of the police custody but not the custody in itself what do you say to that. well so i what i would say is that is a technical decision which can easily be overturned
