Texas passes law banning abortion after six weeks

Newsday

Available for over a year

The US Supreme Court has voted not to block a new law in Texas severely restricting access to abortion, which President Biden has described as unconstitutional. A top US general describes the Taliban as a 'ruthless group', but says it's possible the US would co-ordinate with them in future operations against terrorism. And President Biden has reassured his Ukrainian counterpart of his ironclad commitment to resist Russian aggression - so what's the reaction been back in Ukraine?
