US Supreme Court ends constitutional right to abortion, overturns Roe vs Wade
Women in the US will lose the constitutional right to abortion after the Supreme Court overturned a 50-year-old ruling that legalised it nationwide. America’s highest court struck down the landmark Roe v Wade decision, which had legalised abortion across the country. Thirteen states have already passed so-called trigger laws that will automatically outlaw abortion following the Supreme Court's ruling. The Supreme Court’s ruling was related to the case, Dobbs v Jackson Women's Health Organization, that challenged Mississippi's ban on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. But the court ruled in favour of the state by a majority vote of six to three, effectively ending the constitutional right to an abortion.

Is Biden to blame for higher gas prices? Drivers pay more in 93 countries.
President Joe Biden’s approval ratings have tanked as gas prices and inflation have soared. Energy analysts say the price of oil, not Biden or his policies, are to blame for higher gas prices.

Libya legislative heads to tackle election standoff in meeting
Libya's rival factions have since come to a standoff over how to move the political process forward and who should rule the country in the meantime. However, Dbeibah has rejected the parliament's moves and refused to hand over power, leaving Bashagha unable to enter Tripoli or take over control of government. However, the U.N. special adviser to Libya Stephanie Williams said the final round of talks between delegations from the two chambers ended this week without a breakthrough. Although all sides have said they do not want or expect another round of warfare, tensions between rival factions in western Libya have shown signs of escalation in recent weeks.
