I'm Janet Jalil, and in the early hours of Wednesday, the first of July, these are our main stories. Donald Trump says he'll try to use Congress to get around the US Supreme Court's rejection of the president's order banning birthright citizenship Spain is inundated with applications from undocumented migrants to remain in the country under a government scheme A week on from Venezuela's devastating double earthquake, the search continues for tens of thousands of people who are still missing. Also in this podcast, Serena Williams's tennis comeback at Wimbledon at the age of forty four ends in disappointment, a moment her twenty year old opponent will never forget. She has such an aura, She's such a legend and this court has so many huge names that have played on it. I just I've been dreaming about this moment since I was a little kid, so this is pretty crazy President Trump's first act on returning to office last year was to sign an executive order seeking to end automatic citizenship for anyone born to foreign parents in the US He'd argued that undocumented migrants were not subject to a right that has been enshrined in the American Constitution for more than one hundred fifty years after the abolition of slavery. But judges at the US. Supreme Court in a six three decision have delivered a clear message to Mr. Trump Birthright citizenship can't simply be annulled with the stroke of a presidential pen He responded by saying the court's decision was too bad and that he would use Congress to get around it. The House Speaker, Mike Johnson, also expressed his disappointment. is a serious problem. We have It's become a tourism birthing tourism they call it, you know a trend where people would just come and you just come onto the soil and have your child and then they're They're able to avail themselves of the welfare state and everything else. It's been abused But for those who've settled in the US and gone on to have children, this ruling brings a great sense of relief The BBC heard from one woman who traveled to the US to claim asylum after fleeing Guatemala because of the threat of violence back home Last year, she gave birth to a baby girl. She didn't want to give us her name and her words are spoken by an interpreter. She says the term birth tourism is offensive to many hardwking migrants I would ask that they not think that way, but rather give us a chance to show that we don't want to be a burden on the government. We are hard wororking people working to put bread on the table for our families I would ask that they look at us with eyes of compassion I have hopope that my daughter's life will be safer in this country. She will have a better, more stable life here So how could President Trump use Congress to overturn the Supreme Court ruling A question I put to our North America correspondent, David Willis seeveral bills introduced by Republican lawmakers are seeking to end or either sharply restrict automatic birthright citizenship by amending the U. S. Immigration and Nationality Act, but Constitutional scholars have expressed doubt here that Changing the Constitution is likely or even possible. And one important thing to remember against that background is that polls show that the majority of Americans support birthright citizenship. But this ruling by the Supreme Court blow for Donald Trump. This was a key area of battle for him. He's talked about restricting birthright citizenship in this country since the beginning of his first term in office back in twenty fifteen But he has found those ambitions blocked by the highest court in the land. But the Supreme Court did deliver better news to President Trump on other rulings. They did, yes, on social media, Donald Trump hailed a big win as he put it on the question of transgender athletes participating in women's schools sports The Supreme Court ruled that bans that exist in nearly thirty different states are not unconstitutional and can remain in existence. And this has been a big talking point For Republicans, even though the number of transgender athletes seeking to participate in school sports is said to be very small lifting campaign spending limits has also been a preoccupation of some in the Republican partarty. and the Supreme Court has now lifted limits on political parties and candidates, which Republicans who traditionally attract big money donors believe could help them ahead of November's midterm elections. And on social media, Donald Trump described that decision as a big win, as he put it, for his party. And briefly, David, new filings show that President Trump made more than a billion dollars from cryptocurrency ventures during his first year in office That's right. figures from a newly released U.S. government report show that in total, Donald Trump earned more than two point two billion dollars following his return to the White House. That's an almost fourfold increase on his income the previous year. Much of that money came from currency related business dealings and also legal settlements, royalties on products such as Trump watches and Bibles which added millions more to the total. The irony, perhaps is that Donald Trump, of course, a once branded cryptocurrency, a haven for scammers drug dealers before embracing its potential David Willis Well at a time when the US and many other Western countries are trying to reduce immigration, Spain is taking a very different approach More than one million undocumented migrants and asylum seekers have applied for legal status under a government scheme. Spain's Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has long argued that immigrants are needed to sustain the economy. Our reporter, Sergi Fukada Freises told us more When the Spanish government launched this amnesty for undocumented migrants, they expected they sent around half a million people to apply, mostly of them from Latin America. But they have actually received over a million applications and local authorities will now begin to review them. So double the amount of applications that they were expecting To be eligible for these, applicants had to prove that they had been in the country before the first of January and that they had also a clean criminal record. The government is offering migrants a one year renewable permit that will allow them to live and to work legally in the country. It's important to say that this scheme does not grant citizenship or even voting rights, but many undocumented migrants that applied for this program think that getting their application approved is crucial to secure stability and to be able to find a job in Spain, for example Prime Minister Pederro Sanche argues that migrants are needed basically to sustain the economy and a welfare state in a country, Spain with an aging population. So he sees this as a key to tackle Spain's demographic crisis. Sanche said in a speech that without immigration, Spain would be poorer. and he also highlighted that the fact that more than one million people submitted applications shows how necessary these recognitition of rights was. Sathum. Without immigration, Spain would lose ninety percent of its gross domestic product by twenty fifty one twenty two percent by twenty seventy five. From business and labor market perspective, that would mean, for example, that ninety thousand bars would be forced to shut down With anything related to migration, this scheme is divisive. So some believe it's better to offer legal protection and stability to a million people who were already in the country, but there are also critics. So the main opposition partarty, for example, the Conservative partarty, argues that the scheme could create a pool factor for irregular migrants. And they have also warned about the pressure it may place on public services. There is also the issue of integration, the question about how these people will integrate into Spain To respond to this, the Spanish government has announced five hundred million euros to support migrant integration, including things like language courses or skills development to help them find better jobs. But yeah, while the government defends the scheme, not everyone sees it the same way Sergi Fukada Frerescher There was huge anticipation as Serena Williams, once so dominant in tennis, returned to Wimbledon at the age of forty four to face an opponent less than half her age, Maya joint. But in their first round clash on Tuesday, it was youth that won over experience. The twenty year old Australian beat the twenty three time Grandlam winner in three sets And afterwards, she explained how nerve wracking the match had been I didn't get much sleep last night. I was up till like two AM just thinking about it Yeah, walking out, I forgot the warmup. I don't know what happened. My legs weren't moving. really don't know how I got a pretty good start in the match I mean, she has such an aura, she's such a legend and this court has so many huge names that have played on it. I just I've been dreaming about this moment. since I was a little kid, so this is pretty crazy For watching the match was our tennis correspondent Russell Fuller. It reminded me of one of those finals between Roger Federer and Raphael Nadal. It genuinely was spine tingling, there was an atmosphere in the air that you see very, very rarely in sport because this was something very, very different and very special. And before Serena Williams walked out onto court with Maya Joint, people were taking photographs of those in the players' box and that included Serena's family, her husband, her two daughters who are eight and two, her sister Venus. and there was a real sense of anticipation and the match did not disappoint at all It really was exceptionally high quality from both players and remarkable to see a forty four year old. However great she is play her first singles match since september twenty twenty two. play to that kind of level I don't see her winning any more groundslam singles titles, but Was she playing at a good enough level to be a regular for the next eighteen months, two years? Well, it certainly looked like it today because I think both of them probably played twenty tennis Serena Williams playing like that would have beaten a lot of players in the draw The question we can't answer at the moment is just whether she wants to be out there on tour regularly and probably to get into a position where she can win matches like this and go deep into tournaments, she's going to have to play a few tournaments outside the Grand Slams. and that's perhaps less appealing at the age she is now with a very, very young family. It'll be fascinating to see what she says. I'm sure we'll see her play at the US Open in New York, which starts at the end of August. And then the question is Does she play on, whether it's singles or doubles next year? But what I would say is she's put a lot of incredibly hard work into getting back to this level. You have to be in the drug testing pool for six months before you're allowed to play again when you return to the tour. That's not much fun having visits from anti doping officers, plus all that physical training. She's got herself to this level I'm sure she'll want to play on Russell Fuller Still to come in this podcast, why is basketball superstar LeBron James looking for a new team? He and the Lakers kind of felt like it was time to sort of go there separate ways. So we don't know where he's going to go yet, but we know he'll be back just in a different uniform. He's going to be getting a lot of calls for sure. This is La Pondons from Sweet three hundred five with Lilip Ponds Sweet three hundred five with Lettter pwns is brought to you by Durasel.

This is the Global News podcast. A week on from the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela, a three year old boy has been pulled alive from the rubble by a Jordanian rescue team Video footage showed the rescuers cheering after discovering the child and then wiping his face with tissues as he's placed gently in an ambulance. But it was a rare moment of joy twow thousand people are now known to have died And it's thought the real number of dead could be much higher Tens of thousands more remain unaccounted for All Uigarian reports from the worst affected state. Luguira almost a week after the back to back quakes There is still a desperate search for survivors But the earth is yielding little Some risking their own lives, going deep into the wreckage an aftershock could bury them. George cannot leave his girlfriend, Rohelas. Her body is just a few steps away where it has been since last Wednesday Umira, too, knows exactly where her loved ones lie dead cannot reach them We want to get our mother out of there and our niece Please help us We cannot take it anymore. I am begging you. work is a real. Her brother, Alberto, tells me he dug out the bodies of three of his children on his own Volunteers are here day after day, but they have next to nothing. All of the work we can see being done around us is being done by hand Generations perished here children parents, grandparents, And in the air there is a strong smell of death So many are still waiting for their loved ones to be found for a chance to say a last goodbye was the block next door Members of the UK's international search and rescue team Keep looking for the living Here using acoustic equipment to check for the slightest sound. the slightest vibration Among Venezuelans, there is strong solidarity and support But many say they have been abandoned by their government For now, the final death toll can only be guessed at But the United Nations says it is buying ten thousand body bags That report by all Agarian in Venezuela As the Democratic Republic of Congo continues to battle an outbreak of the deadly Ebola disease, with around twenty cases now also in Uganda, the authorities in neighbouring Tanzania say they're doing everything they can to prevent the virus arriving there They say they're screening travelers at border crossings and training health workers to be ready just in case But along the vast Lake Tanganyika shoreline, concerns remain over unofficial border crossings Sammi Owami reports I'm at a border post called Motukula. This is the main border crossing between Tanzania and Uganda. Now the room I'm currently in is on the Tanzanian side where there is a temperature scanning machine used to check the temperatures passengers entering Tanzania. The broadcaster you can hear in the background is coming from a TV screen mounted on the wall here and it continuously airs public health messages about Ebola. Now in addition to that, there are numerous posters displayed everyverywhere here on the walls those windows And they are ocurring similarly Ebola awareness messages. r We are treating the Ebola issue with the seriousness it deserves Border manager Aipidus Sigu Ramunongo says the focus is on raising awareness and ensuring everyone crossing the border follows the health measures in place. Our main job is to raise awareness and ensure that everyone follows the required procedures Many of the truck drivers crossing here say those messages are getting through They now know how to protect themselves We have received sufficient training here at the border on how to protect ourselves against Ebola. This disease is real and we pray that Almighty God will protect us But stopping a ball at the border is only part of the response Here in Kkoma, I'm in a room at a local hospital where around a hundred frontline health workers from rapid response teams to nurses and other medical staff and they are being trained and prepared to respond if a suspected ebolaase emerges, who responds first Who's responsible for what? and how do you ensure that patients get the care they need and fast? The training has been very good. It has allowed us to put into practice what we previously learned in books, giving us much more hands on experience. We have learned many things, especially through practical exercises It helps us a lot If we receive an Ebola patient, we know how to handle them properly and prevent the disease from spreading further. The training is giving frontline workers confidence, but among Keigoma residents Ccern about Ebola remains. We spend our days here serving the Congolese people who live around us. They are our customers. We can only pray that God continues to protect us. I feel worried because we are so close to them And many people travel from there to here. Honestly, we live in fear. Protecting ourselves is a difficult part. Just the other day I was admitted to hospital, when they brought in someone with similar symptoms, We ended up leaving the hospital before we had fully recovered. Health officials say they understand those concerns but insist The country has strengthened its preparedness from the borda to local health facilities Dr. Damas Kera is Sigoma Regional Medical Officer. Tino As workers they are ready, we provided them with equipment and D infection prevention equipment so that they can prevent infection to them and to their sociide. So we are ready But Kigoma's vast Lck boda means that People can still enter Tanzania through unofficial crossing points without the knowledge of authorities. if Ebola were to reach the country, those informal routes could provide the biggest test of Tanzania's preparedness detect and contain the virus Sami Owami reporting For more than four years, Ukrainians have endured constant Russian attacks on their cities, with sometimes hundreds of drones launched each day Ukraine is now carrying out its own drone strikes on targets deep inside Russia. But with no end to the war in sight, people in Ukraine have found different ways of coping Some women turn to beauty and fashion as a way of dealing with the trauma of war and as an act of defiance. Isabella Jewell reports from Kyiv When we are expecting mass attacks, I take showers, use all my the most expensive skincare products, use perfumes and wear pyjamas because you know I want to look the best Just before I met Erinna, Russia staged one of its largest overnight strikes on Kyiv, killing at least twenty two people. It may sound weird, but it's a part in my life When I can take under control at least something We're in a shopping mall in Kiev, looking at pajamas For Ana, it's about more than style and practicality. So I want to send a message to Russia there we still keep going Beauty might not sound important with a war going on, but it does play a crucial role.. Lisa Eldridge is a beauty expert and historian. You know, hard times, recessions, wars, there is this kind of craving for normal say this of defiance, whereby beauty, hair, nails, whatever it is, it's a real source of joy Ukraine's beauty industry is still going strong. Market analyst Euroonitor found there was a fourteen percent growth in the retail value of beauty and personal care last year. Yeah to know
