3:16
a new poll by the wall street journal
3:19
and north at the university of chicago
3:21
has found that more than two thirds of americans
3:24
want to uphold roe v wade the
3:27
, was taken after the leak of a draft
3:29
opinion that suggests the us supreme
3:31
court may be preparing to overturn the
3:33
nineteen seventy three decisions that establish
3:35
the constitutional right to an abortion
3:38
some fifty seven percent of respondents
3:40
said of respondents should be able to
3:42
obtain a legal abortion if she wants
3:45
it for any reason that is the
3:47
highest share since north
3:49
began asking the question every few
3:51
years starting in the late
4:04
for a cosmetics product to earn certification
4:06
as being cruelty free brands
4:09
must ensure their ingredients and final
4:11
products aren't tested on animals anywhere
4:13
in the world and despite the fact
4:15
that the european union has banned animal
4:18
testing for cosmetics and twenty thirteen
4:21
and number of cosmetics brands are now pushing
4:23
back against back decision by the european
4:25
chemicals agencies to require
4:27
animal testing on some cosmetics
4:29
ingredients the case is now
4:32
at the european court of justice which is
4:34
expected to rule sometime this year
4:36
and joining us now with more is wsj
4:39
consumer goods reporter sovereign
4:41
chowdhry sovereign sabra hi
4:44
the why exactly is the regulator involved
4:46
here asking for these animal tests
4:48
are the regular tests the industry
4:50
performs not enough
4:52
they're essentially a conflict
4:54
between two separate laws
4:56
here for one is the one that
4:58
sort of bands animal testing for cosmetics
5:01
and that's very consumer focused it looks
5:03
at or the ingredients safe
5:05
for consumers and it deemed yes we don't
5:07
need to do animal testing to decide
5:10
that these ingredients essay for consumers
5:12
then you have a totally separate law which
5:14
is implemented by the chemicals regulate
5:17
how cold aca and that law
5:19
looks at work or safety
5:21
and the environment and that says
5:23
workers can come into contact with a chemical
5:26
in far larger volumes
5:28
than a consumer can you know in a very
5:30
rural form in a factory for extended
5:32
periods of time like hours at a time
5:35
and so the has a different set of criteria
5:37
that they're looking for and it's under those criteria
5:40
what they see we don't feel that
5:42
the information companies have provided is enough
5:45
we want these extra test to prove that
5:47
some of these cosmetics ingredients are safe
5:50
and this is despite the fact that there is this other
5:52
legislation banning animal testing
5:54
for cosmetics ingredients
5:56
the european court's ruling sabra
5:58
when it comes how do you have
6:00
implications for the cosmetics industry
6:03
globally beyond your
6:05
yeah i think the concern is just that if
6:07
you are a big global brand
6:09
like say dove shampoo or
6:11
trace the mail any of these brands
6:13
that sell all over the world you
6:15
will no longer be able to claim to be
6:18
free of testing on animals because
6:20
you will have to test in europe and
6:22
the way that the certifications are handed out
6:24
by peter they will not certified
6:26
you if you destined one part of the world and animals
6:29
it doesn't mean you can get a us certification single
6:32
animal testing free if you're still
6:34
testing on animals in europe so essentially
6:36
it's one global certification which is why
6:38
this ruling has really big implications
6:41
told many companies that have friends
6:43
that are owned by european
6:45
companies but essentially sold
6:47
all over the world that was wall street journal

the best role model in the whoa it
7:52
always does for the whole pomp and circumstance
7:54
we don't have anything like to see a legacy
7:57
i mean you're along the line resets
7:59
i've been all season
8:00
as we want my my last week i thought about
8:02
it seemingly wsj
8:04
uk correspondent max colchester
8:06
joins us now to talk about the queen's platinum
8:09
jubilee and what my be next for
8:11
the british monarchy max thank
8:13
you for being with us hi good morning lose
8:15
some acts how important for the united
8:17
kingdom is the marking of the queen's
8:20
jubilee
8:21
it's a very special moments from the
8:23
uk no one no monique has ever
8:25
ruled the rounds long as queen elizabeth
8:27
has and that's a dynasty the stretches
8:30
by over a thousand years was just shows
8:32
you how unusual and specialists
8:34
is and what we're gonna see
8:36
over the next four days is a
8:38
lot of pageantry an hour lot of public
8:41
celebration jubilee their an occasion for the
8:43
british people to come together and
8:45
celebrate the kingdom and
8:48
this will be done via street parties
8:50
military parades church services
8:53
and of course lots of tea party
8:55
how popular is the royal
8:57
family in the uk at this moment
9:00
and is the popularity of the family and
9:02
any sort of doubt at this point right
9:04
now no it isn't it is diller firmly
9:06
popular fixture in the uk and
9:09
that is really very much down for the queen herself
9:12
one of the great strength of the monarchy is
9:14
that it's always there and so she's come to
9:16
embody in many ways it's greatest strength
9:19
now the big question is said the day
9:21
come when the queen of no longer
9:23
in place will it be as easy
9:25
for her successor prince charles to continue
9:28
to embody those traits and
9:30
in serious had be he's been around for long time
9:32
to he's the longest serving add to the
9:34
throne in british history and the british
9:36
public a very familiar with him but there
9:38
will be a sort of transitional bump
9:41
as the british people have
9:43
to get used to a new face at the helm
9:45
of this institution
9:46
add to that the fact that he's not as
9:48
popular as the queen is
9:50
if exact i think there is an issue here the child
9:53
is less popular than his mother however
9:55
his cause you point out that he have more popular
9:57
that any political figure in the uk the
10:00
yes there will be a sort of question as to whether
10:02
he can take the same approach that the queen
10:05
so successfully as taken which is to sort
10:07
of stand back from it all
10:09
and rise above it all like not be involved
10:11
in day to day politics not be
10:13
overtly political more overtly have
10:16
views on things and not offend anybody
10:18
so by not having any views not offending anyone
10:20
you remain brought the popular
10:23
the i'm not taking strong positions
10:25
are being controversial how else would you say
10:27
queen elizabeth the second has helped the uk
10:30
government advance it's priorities
10:32
through the years not just as queen but as head of
10:34
the commonwealth and the church of england
10:36
the back a yeah thing to say the break key role
10:39
in the commonwealth what is this club of fifty
10:41
four nations mainly parts
10:43
of the former british empire which
10:45
is headed for many years and have been very popular
10:48
in that role i think in a weird way she's been a very
10:50
very important to in british
10:52
soft power we see it with american
10:54
presidents sees lived through fourteen
10:57
us presidents and presidents love to
10:59
meet her everybody from all across
11:01
the aisle everyone wants to meet the queen and that makes
11:03
are very unique draw for british
11:05
government's not been a very very powerful tool for
11:07
the uk over the last seven decades
11:10
for sure the queen is also
11:12
a head of state in many countries and british
11:14
overseas territories do
11:16
you think the monarchies appeal there
11:19
is going to last what about the very
11:21
big unknown and we've already seen
11:24
the caribbean on the barbados remove
11:26
the queen as his head of state
11:28
and they have been long time rumblings
11:30
in australia about whether the queen's should
11:32
continue in her all their and
11:35
that will be a big challenge for them on a key to
11:37
try and prove relevant to these
11:39
nations of what it actually brings them by
11:41
remaining in place for them and i think that
11:43
the feeding within buckingham palace that actually
11:45
this is the legacy role
11:48
will probably one they go but i
11:50
don't think that diminishes the actual power of the
11:52
monarchy itself and that is
11:54
something is think a fairly comfortable with
11:57
but obviously it's a difficult one because this colonial
11:59
power the britain has me they can't be seen
12:01
to dictate countries how to
12:03
run their affairs but at the same time the have
12:06
to they are technically that
12:08
so it's a very difficult balancing actually base
12:10
that was wall street journal uk correspondent
12:12
max colchester max thanks
12:15
so much and enjoy being out there with there crowds
12:17
i will thanks
12:22
and finally just a twenty minute drive from
12:24
the flashing lights of the las vegas strip
12:26
is a facilities known as the petting
12:29
zoo which for the record it is not a club
12:31
and doesn't feature any animals instead
12:33
it is the threat training facility at
12:36
nellis air force base which required
12:38
it's nickname because visitors their can get up
12:40
close and personal with a range of soviet
12:42
weapons and aircraft accumulated
12:44
over the years by the us government wsj
12:47
national security editor sharon weinberger
12:49
says this quasi graveyard of aging
12:51
weaponry is currently enjoying another
12:54
moment in the sun
12:55
piper people who have followed the war
12:57
in ukraine ukraine has been desperately
13:00
trying to get more make twenty
13:02
nine of these are aircraft that
13:04
even though old are still very relevant in today's
13:06
conflict so in some ways the conflict
13:09
in ukraine reaffirms the value of something
13:11
like the petting zoo the current commander
13:13
of the intelligence quadrant really does not like
13:15
that name because he's as it applies at the museum
13:18
and his point is that even though the equipment
13:20
is old and even though it's pretty much
13:23
inoperable it serves a useful
13:25
training aid is not a museum it is
13:27
still
13:27
the everyday by members military
13:29
and that's what's news for thursday
13:32
morning we'll be back tonight with a new show
