Roe is overturned. What's next for abortion access in the US? |
| The Supreme Court ruled Friday that the Constitution provided no right to abortion. Now the question of legal abortion falls to the states, where battles are already being waged to either restrict or enshrine the once federally-protected right. So-called trigger laws put in place before the ruling meant that abortion is now effectively outlawed in 13 states automatically or through swift state action following the decision. Abortion providers in several other states stopped offering services because doctors fear criminal charges. In Florida, the American Civil Liberties Union, Planned Parenthood and other reproductive health providers today are asking a judge in a Tallahassee court to issue a temporary, emergency injunction on the state's new 15-week abortion ban, which is set to take effect Friday.

| Thousands took to the streets through the weekend – some in celebration and others in outrage – after the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade, ending the constitutional right to abortion in the U.S. In sweltering heat, people in cities big and small chanted and held signs, and in some cases, police stepped between the two groups as tensions rose.

Biden meets with G-7 leaders in Germany |
| President Joe Biden is in Germany for the annual Group of Seven summit, an annual economic meeting between leaders from the U.S., France, Germany, Canada, the United Kingdom, Italy and Japan. The leaders in attendance will spend the second day of the summit talking about Russian President Vladimir Putin. Biden will try to talk European nations into ceasing all imports of Russian oil and gas. World leaders are also expected to discuss capping the price of oil and gas imports to help fight inflation and further cut into Putin's financial resources. In 2014, G-7 nations banished Russia from their gathering over its first invasion of eastern Ukraine. Now, with Putin's army pummeling the country, world leaders are rushing to stop him. China is also on the agenda, with G-7 leaders announcing a global infrastructure partnership that positions them to act as alternative lenders to developing nations that might otherwise accept investment dollars from China.

US basketball star Brittney Griner due in Russian court |
| More than four months after she was arrested at a Russian airport for cannabis possession, American basketball star Brittney Griner is to appear in court Monday for a preliminary hearing ahead of her trial. The Phoenix Mercury star could face 10 years in prison if convicted on charges of large-scale transportation of drugs. Griner, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and seven-time WNBA All-Star, was detained at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport on Feb. 17 after authorities there said a search of her bag revealed vape cartridges containing cannabis oil. Her arrest came less than a week before Russia sent troops into Ukraine. The State Department in May designated her as wrongfully detained. Fewer than 1% of defendants in Russian criminal cases are acquitted, and unlike in the U.S., acquittals can be overturned. The trial date has not been announced, but is expected soon; Griner was recently ordered to remain in pretrial detention until July 2. Read more |
