The Supreme Court considers whether an individual state’s abortion ban is constitutional.

The US Supreme Court weighs Idaho's strict abortion ban in medical emergencies. We speak to our correspondent, and we hear from physicians working in fertility health care in Idaho.

We get reaction to the approval by the US Senate of the aid package to Ukraine, Taiwan and Israel and hear from Ukrainians in America about how they view all this, so far away from the frontline.
