Tens of thousands march across US for abortion rights logo logo × AMERICAS Tens of thousands march across US for abortion rights Demonstrators targeting new law in state of Texas Andrew John Roesgen | 03.10.2021 Tens of thousands march across US for abortion rights CHICAGO, United States Abortion-rights demonstrators took to the streets across the US on Saturday to protest a restrictive new abortion law in the state of Texas and implore the Supreme Court to block it. Rallies were planned in about 650 cities, representing groups such as the Women's March, Planned Parenthood and the Center for American Progress, and joined by countless ordinary Americans. At issue is an abortion law that went into effect in Texas a month ago, which outlaws abortion after six weeks and provides no exceptions for rape or incest. "Extremely odious," Chicago rally organizer Paula Thornton-Greear told Anadolu Agency. "Most people do not know they are pregnant at six weeks, so you are, in effect, putting a complete ban on access to abortion." logo logo × AMERICAS Tens of thousands march across US for abortion rights Demonstrators targeting new law in state of Texas Andrew John Roesgen | 03.10.2021 Tens of thousands march across US for abortion rights CHICAGO, United States Abortion-rights demonstrators took to the streets across the US on Saturday to protest a restrictive new abortion law in the state of Texas and implore the Supreme Court to block it. Rallies were planned in about 650 cities, representing groups such as the Women's March, Planned Parenthood and the Center for American Progress, and joined by countless ordinary Americans. At issue is an abortion law that went into effect in Texas a month ago, which outlaws abortion after six weeks and provides no exceptions for rape or incest. "Extremely odious," Chicago rally organizer Paula Thornton-Greear told Anadolu Agency. "Most people do not know they are pregnant at six weeks, so you are, in effect, putting a complete ban on access to abortion." But what has critics especially angry is the provision in the Texas law that allows any private citizen to essentially spy on and sue, someone in the state if it is suspected that an abortion is being performed after six weeks. The woman seeking an abortion is immune from being sued but an abortion provider can be sued, as can a taxi or Uber driver who might take the woman to get an abortion. Texas Monthly magazine, doing a deep dive into the law, reports that a person who writes a check to an abortion provider to help a woman obtain an abortion after six weeks but does not send the check, can still be sued. "Again, odious," according to Thornton-Greear. You're putting a bounty on people. You are putting it into the hands of people that may not be associated in any way with a person who is exercising their fundamental rights to get abortion access. You're putting a price on their head, their providers' head, their families' head. It is just atrocious." Attorneys for the US Justice Department went before a federal judge Friday in an attempt to get the law blocked, at least temporarily. Also in court were attorneys for the state who argued that the new law is not "an unprecedented scheme of vigilante justice" as the Justice Department argued. The Texas attorneys argued that women are still getting abortions in the state, although the number, they estimated, is about 40% to 60% of what it was before the law took effect. A ruling could come at any time. Abortion clinics in neighboring states are reporting an increase in Texas women crossing the border to get abortions. The demonstrators hoped the Supreme Court will take up the Texas case when the court reconvenes Monday. The court declined, by a 5-4 vote, an emergency request to take up the case last month while it was out of session. The court now has a majority of conservative justices and it could be one of the biggest tests of abortion rights since the Court delivered the landmark Roe versus Wade decision in 1973 that made abortion rights legal.

Buffalo attack: At least 10 killed in 'racially-motivated' mass shooting at supermarket in New York state "It is my sincere hope that this individual, this white supremacist who just perpetrated a hate crime on an innocent community, will spend the rest of his days behind bars," says New York Governor Kathy Hochul. Police said the suspected gunman was taken into custody after the attack which is being investigated as "a racially-motivated hate crime". Buffalo Police Commissioner Joseph Gramaglia said that 11 of the 13 people who were shot were black. "This was pure evil," said Erie County Sheriff John Garcia in a news conference. "It was straight up racially-motivated hate crime from somebody outside of our community." New York Governor Kathy Hochul said: "It is my sincere hope that this individual, this white supremacist who just perpetrated a hate crime on an innocent community, will spend the rest of his days behind bars. And heaven help him in the next world as well."

Russia extending Ukraine military war to 'grain war', says Baerbock BERLIN — The Group of Seven leading economies warned Saturday that the war in Ukraine is stoking a global food and energy crisis that threatens poor countries, and urgent measures are needed to unblock stores of grain that Russia is preventing from leaving Ukraine. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, who hosted a meeting of top G-7 diplomats, said the war had become a “global crisis.” Baerbock said up to 50 million people, particularly in Africa and the Middle East, would face hunger in the coming months unless ways are found to release Ukrainian grain, which accounts for a sizeable share of the worldwide supply. "Russia has deliberately chosen to extend the military war against Ukraine now as a grain or you can say grain war to many states in the world, especially in Africa," she said. We must not be naive. This is not collateral damage. It is a deliberately chosen instrument in a hybrid war that is being waged right now. Russia is preparing the ground for new crises to deliberately weaken international cohesion against Russia's war," the foreign minister added. In statements released at the end of the three-day meeting on Germany’s Baltic Sea coast, the G-7 pledged to provide further humanitarian aid to the most vulnerable. “Russia’s war of aggression has generated one of the most severe food and energy crises in recent history which now threatens those most vulnerable across the globe,” the group

North Korea's Kim Orders Lockdown as First COVID-19 Outbreak Is Confirmed North Korea's Kim Orders Lockdown as First COVID-19 Outbreak Is Confirmed The official Korean Central News Agency said genetic sequencing analysis of samples collected from a group of people on Sunday in Pyongyang had identified the BA.2 strain, also known as the “stealth omicron” for its relative difficulty of detection. At least one person confirmed to have COVID-19 has died, KCNA said Friday, and around 350,000 people have shown signs of a fever that has "explosively spread nationwide" since late April. About 162,200 of them have been treated so far, but it did not specify how many had tested positive for COVID-19.

Muslims performed Friday prayers and mourners chanted "walking, walking on foot," demanding that Abu Akleh's coffin be carried and transported on foot from the hospital to the Greek Orthodox Church, where a service will be held, and then to the burial site. Israeli police were lined outside the hospital, according to CNN reporters. Police roadblocks were set up to and from near the hospital.

Ukraine war crimes? Horrifying video shows Ukrainians allegedly executing Russian soldiers Horrific footage released on April 6, 2022, from Bucha, Ukraine appears to show Ukrainian soldiers committing war crimes. The stunning video has since gone viral, days after the liberation of Bucha revealed mass graves, rape and murder of women, and torture of men by Russian troops. It is likely to lend credence to the Russian claim the images and videos from Bucha are "staged", and in fact committed by Ukraine and not Russia.

WASHINGTON: Finland’s political leadership announced this morning that they support joining NATO “without delay,” paving the way for a major expansion of the military alliance.

This is the gargantuan black hole that lives at the centre of our galaxy, pictured for the very first time. Known as Sagittarius A*, the object is a staggering four million times the mass of our Sun. What you see is a central dark region where the hole resides, circled by the light coming from super-heated gas accelerated by immense gravitational forces. For scale, the ring is roughly the size of Mercury's orbit around our star. That's about 60 million km, or 40 million miles, across. Fortunately, this monster is a long, long way away - some 26,000 light-years in the distance - so there's no possibility of us ever coming to any danger. The image was produced by an international team called the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration
