Live from MPR News on trial Snyder, the Supreme Court today kept the status q...
it comes to the abortion pill, Miffa Pristone, and piercing a semistuffin says of justices
“but a stay out of lower courts ruling while the legal process plays out.”
The case is Louisiana versus the Food and Drug Administration. The state challenged FDA rules that allow Miffa Pristone to be prescribed remotely. A panel of judges on the fifth circuit court of appeals ordered an end to telemedicine access to Miffa Pristone on May 1st, to drug makers filed for emergency relief at the Supreme Court.
Nearly two weeks later, the justices have stayed that fifth circuit ruling pending appeal, justices Samuel, Alito, and Clarence Thomas dissented. That means telemedicine abortion remains available as it was. Reproductive rights advocates celebrated the decision, although they noted it's temporary. There's more to come with this case and several other legal challenges to telemedicine abortion
are underway.
Following the Simmons Duffin and Pyrenees, Washington President Trump and Chinese leader
Xi Jinping met in Beijing today discussing the war in Iran, global trade and energy security. But in Piers' Tamariki reports, it does not appear that the talks yielded any significant progress.
“On Thursday, Trump and Xi held a bilateral meeting that, for a time included CEOs from”
top U.S. corporations. Then in the evening at a formal banquet, the two leaders toasted each other and the relationship between their nations. Trump made clear, he wants this visit to be the start of a longer dialogue. Tonight, it is my honor to extend an invitation to you and Madam Peng to visit us at
the White House, the September 24th. Before Trump heads to the airport, the leaders are set to take a friendship photo and share a bilateral teeth and lunch. No deals have been announced yet, but there's still time. Tamariki and Pyrenees Beijing.
Trump and Xi are, too, meet again before Trump returns to Washington as tensions rise near the state of Formos. A ship anchored off the United Arab Emirates was seized and taken to Iran, and another was attacked in St. Louis, the coast of Vermont.
“Senators passed a resolution today to withhold their own pay during future government shutdowns.”
And Piers Ava Burger reports a move brings them in line with most federal employees who receive back pay only when the government reopens. The resolution was approved by voice without any senators objecting. Senator John Kennedy, the Louisiana Republican, called his measure a quote "shared sacrifice" with other federal employees who miss paychecks.
It's got to stop shutting down government. It should not be a default solution to our refusal to work at our issues. Congress reopened the Department of Homeland Security last month after the agency went unfunded for more than 70 days. Kennedy's measure, which won't apply to House members, will take effect after the midterm
elections. Eva Burger, and Piers News, the capital. This is NPR News. The latest in the race to enact a new congressional maps comes out of Louisiana. State senators have passed a new map that would eliminate a majority black district, giving
Republicans a chance to win an additional seat in the November midterm elections. The plan now goes to the Louisiana House for consideration. In South Carolina, a special legislative session on redistricting starts tomorrow, the Supreme Court's decision, weakening the landmark voting rights act, as led to a wave of redistricting efforts in the South.
New study warns that multiple games at the upcoming Men's Soccer World Cup are likely to be held during dangerously hot weather. Role Cup kicks off in June and Piers Rebecca Hershey reports. This year's tournament runs from June 11 through July 19th in the U.S. Canada and Mexico. There will be 104 matches, a new analysis by climate scientists at Imperial College London
finds that the weather during five of those matches is likely to be dangerously hot and humid. Miami is a particular hot spot because its stadium is not covered and does not have air conditioning. The World Cup final held outside New York City in July is also at high risk. FIFA says it's addressing heat risk by allowing players and officials to take extra water
breaks and allowing fans to bring sealed water bottles into stadiums during the hottest matches, as well as other measures. Rebecca Hershey and Pierre Neus, the major financial markets in Asia largely down after
