This is CBS News flash. I'm Matt Pieper in New York. According to a draft Supreme Court majority opinion obtained by Politico, a decision has been made to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling. In the leaked document, Justice Samuel Alito writes in part, "Roe was egregiously wrong from the start." "It's your finest hour", that is what British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is expected to say as he addresses Ukraine's parliament, Tuesday. The virtual address will be the first from a world leader since the war began. His words will come as more evacuations are planned from a Mariupol steel plant. And the stars sparkled at the annual Met Gala in New York. The theme gilded glamour, as what's known as the party of the year returned to its pre-pandemic schedule.
