The deathbed confession of Jane Roe (from Roe v Wade)

America has been rocked by the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade - the case that has protected the right to abortion in the US for almost 50 years. Already, states are banning the procedure and it may be just weeks before half of the states across the US ban abortion.

In today’s episode of The Briefing, Nick Sweeney, an Australian born director of a documentary called AKA Jane Roe tells us the unbelievable story of a young Texan woman called Norma McCorvey – who was to become Jane Roe.

You won’t believe what Nick learned in the making of the documentary. It left Americans reeling, and turned the entire saga on its head. In today’s Briefing: the story behind the abortion case dividing America.

Today's Headlines:

- R Kelly sentenced to 30 years for sex trafficking
- Secret Service agent considers testifying to defend Trump over Capital riots
- France Terror attack trial concludes
- Hannah Clarke’s family calls for more DV support across the country
- Ride share agreement struck between Uber and unions
