Last month, the state’s supreme court ruled that frozen embryos had the same rights as children, and people could be held liable for destroying them.At least three IVF clinics paused treatments in the wake of the ruling, which divided Alabama’s conservatives. The new law will allow the clinics to resume services. The Alabama bill had overwhelming bipartisan support on Wednesday. It passed by a vote of 81-12 in the state’s House and 29-1 in the Senate. Governor Kay Ivey, a Republican, quickly signed it into law.The measures are designed to shield IVF providers from legal action and prosecution for “damage or death of an embryo” during services. Proponents of the bill said they hoped this would allow IVF providers to re-start services. “The problem we are trying to solve right now is to get those families back on track to be moving forward as they try to have children,” state legislator Terri Collins told CBS News, the BBC’s US partner. While the measure offers limited legal immunity to medical providers, it still allows – in some cases – for lawsuits to be filed against manufacturers of IVF equipment if they damage or destroy an embryo during the treatment process. ‘Fewer children will be born’: Alabama embryo ruling divides devout ChristiansWhat does Alabama ruling mean for fertility patients?The bill also did not weigh in on whether embryos can be legally classified as children. Alabama Democratic House minority leader Anthony Daniels told AL.com earlier on Wednesday that the bill did not sufficiently answer the question of whether embryos outside the womb are children. “Until that issue is addressed, it’s just putting a Band-Aid over something that requires stitches and surgery,” Mr Daniels said.The decision two weeks ago from the Supreme Court of Alabama stemmed from wrongful death lawsuits filed on behalf of three couples whose frozen embryos were accidentally destroyed at a clinic in 2020. The ruling sparked an immediate backlash, both in the southern state and nationally.With eight months to go until the US presidential election, President Joe Biden’s campaign has seized on the controversy. A Pew survey released last year found that 42% of Americans have either used IVF treatments or know someone who did. That percentage rises to 45% among middle-income Americans and 59% for those with high-incomes.

The House and Senate need to vote on a unified bill before it can enter law. It follows a ruling by the state’s top court that frozen embryos have the same rights as children and people can be held liable for destroying them.The ruling created a legal headache for clinics, many of which pulled services.On Thursday, the Alabama House of Representative passed a bill to provide legal immunity “for death or damage to an embryo to any individual or entity” responsible for providing services related to IVF. Several hours later, the state’s Senate passed a similar measure. A unified bill could be put before both chambers for a vote by next Wednesday, before being sent to Gov Kay Ivey for her approval. Alabama’s legislature pushes to protect IVFWhat does Alabama ruling mean for fertility patients?Both bills come less than two weeks after the ruling by Alabama’s Supreme Court that frozen embryos are considered children, which was met with backlash by medical experts, IVF mothers and reproductive advocacy groups. It has also divided devout Christians in the state, some of whom celebrated it as “a beautiful defence of life”, while others worried it could lead to restrictions for fertility patients who want to have children. The response has sent lawmakers scrambling to protect access to fertility treatments. It has also sparked political debates on women’s reproductive rights and how the beginning of life is defined by the state. The Republican-majority House passed its bill overwhelmingly with a vote of 94-6 after nearly three hours of debate, during which some lawmakers expressed concern that it could undermine Alabama’s status as a pro-life state.Mark Gidley, a Republican representative, said he was worried the bill is a “knee-jerk reaction” to the court ruling, and that it is important the law recognise that frozen embryos are human life.Another, Ernie Yarbough, asked if it is “possible to do IVF in a pro-life way that treats embryos as children”. Others, like Democrat representative Mary Moore, disagreed with the court’s ruling and said it is important to protect IVF treatments as they help many families who otherwise could not have children.Similar debates broke out in the state’s Senate. One senator, Republican Larry Stutts, described the issue as a “moral quandary”, but noted that discarded embryos through IVF are a “small percentage” compared to the ones that are used or kept. Lawmakers also heard from women undergoing fertility treatments, one of whom testified before a House committee that she had spent nearly $400,000 (£317,000) on IVF and that she hopes that the money was not wasted.Terri Collins, a Republican representative who initially brought the House bill forward, said her aim was to “at least keep the clinics open and the families moving forward” while lawmakers work on a longer-term solution. “This solution is for opening the clinics right away, and that’s what we’re trying to do,” she said.Related TopicsFertilityRepublican PartyIVFAlabamaMore on this storyAlabama IVF row an election-year political bombshellPublished6 days ago’Fewer children will be born’: Alabama embryo ruling divides devout ChristiansPublished4 days agoFour ways the end of Roe v Wade has changed AmericaPublished24 June 2023Top StoriesLive.

Russia’s full-scale war in Ukraine is due to enter its third year next week and Ukraine’s armed forces chief has admitted the situation is “extremely complex”.Col Gen Oleksandr Syrskyi, who was appointed commander-in-chief last week, visited the front line on Wednesday hours after a Russian missile attack claimed three lives in the eastern town of Selydove.There was no confirmation from Russia’s navy that the Caesar Kunikov had been sunk in the Black Sea, merely that six Ukrainian drones had been destroyed. Video appearing to show the aftermath of the Ukrainian attack was uploaded only recently, BBC Verify confirmed.”The Caesar Kunikov suffered critical holes in its port side and began to sink,” Ukraine’s intelligence directorate said on the Telegram messaging site, adding that it had been destroyed in Ukrainian territorial waters by a unit called Group 13.Amphibious ships are used to move assault troops to land quickly, especially in enemy territory. Russia has also used landing ships in recent years to ferry military supplies to Syria, in support of Bashar al-Assad’s government.twiRussian military bloggers did not deny the Caesar Kunikov had been hit, saying only that the crew had survived. Russia’s military rarely reports major losses and Russians rely on a handful of popular bloggers for information.The Caesar Kunikov dates back to the end of the Soviet era. If its sinking is confirmed, it would be the second successful strike in the Black Sea this month. A small warship, the Ivanovets, was hit by drones in a special operation almost two weeks ago.Another Russian landing ship, the Novocherkassk, was hit while in port in Feodosiya in December.Related TopicsWar in UkraineCrimeaMore on this storyUkraine ‘hits Russian missile boat in Black Sea’Published1 FebruaryRussia confirms damage to warship in Black SeaPublished26 December 2023Top StoriesLive.

Minimum support price (MSP) is a guaranteed price that allows farmers to sell most of their produce at government-controlled wholesale markets, or mandis. The farmers are also demanding that the government fulfil its promise of doubling their income.Farm leaders say at least a dozen farmers have been detained by the police since Tuesday, the day the protest march began after two rounds of talks between farm unions and federal ministers failed to break the deadlock. More than 200 unions are participating in the march and the farmers aim to reach the capital after crossing the state of Haryana.On Tuesday, visuals from the Ambala city, north of the capital, showed thick clouds of tear gas. At the Shambhu border, clashes broke out between police and protesters as they tried to press past the barricades. Police dropped tear gas on the crowd using drones.Several protesters were injured in the police action. Security personnel also suffered injuries from stones pelted at them by the protesters.Traffic jams and disruptions were reported across Delhi as authorities diverted routes and blocked roads.Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Security forces have blocked Delhi’s borders with razor wire, cement blocks and fencing on three sidesEarlier, Mr Pandher told ANI news agency that there were approximately 10,000 people at the Shambhu border. Calling the attack on the farmers “shameful”, he said, “we are farmers and labourers of the country and we do not want any fight”. Farmers form an influential voting bloc in India and analysts say the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be keen not to alienate them. His Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is seeking a third consecutive term in power in general elections this year.”Our objective is that the government listens to our demands,” Mr Pandher had said ahead of the march.In 2020, protesting farmers had hunkered down for months, blocking national highways that connect the capital to its neighbouring states. Their year-long protest, seen as one of the biggest challenges to Mr Modi’s government, forced the authorities to rollback controversial agriculture reforms.The protesters have received some support from the Punjab and Haryana High Court which has said that as citizens of the country, the farmers had the “right to move freely”.India’s opposition leaders have also extended support to them and condemned the government’s attempt to stop them from reaching Delhi.Congress party leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge said on Tuesday that they would enact a law to guarantee minimum price for the farmers if the party was voted to power in the elections.Read more India stories from the BBC:Four dead in clashes over India mosque demolitionIndian textiles tycoon hit with fresh allegationsA mosque demolished, and orphans displaced in IndiaWhy India law against exam cheating may not workWant to live together?

Police had disclosed that Mr Kangethe managed to walk out of the Muthaiga Police Station where he was being detained last week. His legal team said their client’s life was in danger.”We have re-arrested him. He is in custody and we thank all that helped in this,” Mr Bungei told The Star news website. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) said in a post on X the suspect was arrested following a “scrupulous intelligence-led operation”. He was later taken to Nairobi under heavy security ahead of his arraignment. Mr Kangethe had sought refuge at one of his relatives’ homes in the area at the time he was recaptured, according to the police. Dozens of detectives had been deployed to search for Mr Kangethe. Some of his relatives and a city lawyer were detained for questioning over his escape from Muthaiga police station.Mr Kangethe is suspected to have murdered his girlfriend last October and abandoned her body in a car at Boston’s Logan International Airport.He then boarded a flight to Kenya, his country of origin.After a months-long manhunt, Mr Kangethe was arrested earlier this month after leaving a club in Nairobi. The family of Margaret Mbitu, Mr Kangethe’s late girlfriend, told US media that she had been planning to end their relationship before she was killed.She was a 30-year-old Kenyan-American nurse working in Halifax, Massachusetts.Ms Mbitu was last seen alive leaving her workplace on the evening of 30 October last year.She was reported missing the same day and her body was discovered two days later.Authorities believe Mr Kangethe left the US during the window between Ms Mbitu’s disappearance and the discovery of her body.They linked Mr Kangethe to the murder after security footage captured him leaving the airport parking lot where Ms Mbitu’s body was later found. The suspect is now in custody awaiting further charges following his escape.Related TopicsKenyaMore on this storyMuch-criticised Kenya police to get big pay boostPublished17 November 2023’We are the bad ones’, Kenyan police recruits bragPublished9 December 2021Top StoriesLive.

The breach occurred in the run up to President Yoon Suk Yeol’s state visit to the UK last November.The staff member was hacked after using a personal email account for official work, the president’s office said.A local newspaper cited a high-ranking government source as saying hackers had accessed Mr Yoon’s trip schedule.The Kukmin Ilbo newspaper added that messages sent by the president had also been stolen.But the President’s office would not divulge what information was stolen.This is thought to be the first time the North has successfully hacked a member of the South Korean President’s team.The Lazarus heist: How hackers tried to steal $1bnNorth Korea led ‘biggest year ever’ of crypto hacksIn a statement, the President’s office stressed that its security system had not been hacked.”The breach was caused by a careless violation of security regulations by an individual administrator who used a commercial email for work purposes,” it told the BBC. North Korea uses cyber hacking to steal both money and information, and its means are becoming increasingly sophisticated.Pyongyang is subject to extreme international sanctions, and its cyberhackers seek to steal large sums of money, often in cryptocurrency, to fund the regime and its nuclear weapons programme. It is estimated to have stolen as much as $3bn dollars since 2016.North Korea is also thought to carry out hacks with the purpose of stealing state secrets, including details of advanced weapons technology.The South Korean government source, who spoke to the Kukmin Ilbo on the condition of anonymity, said they were “beyond shocked and appalled” when they learnt about the breach, adding it could have caused problems for Mr Yoon’s security abroad.President Yoon visited London for a three-day state visit in November, during which he met with King Charles and Queen Camilla, as well as the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.The South Korean government said that the incident had been detected before the President’s trip began, and the necessary measures were taken to address it.It added it had taken steps to strengthen its security, including raising awareness among its team, to prevent another such incident from occurring.Related TopicsComputer hackingAsiaYoon Suk YeolSouth KoreaNorth KoreaMore on this storyNorth Korea led ‘biggest year ever’ of crypto hacksPublished2 February 2023Top StoriesLive.

Hungary has been shaken by the sudden resignations of the two most popular and successful women in an otherwise strongly male-dominated governing party. President Katalin Novak and former Justice Minister Judit Varga have both taken responsibility for the decision to grant clemency to Endre K, former deputy director of a state orphanage. Endre K was jailed for persuading children to withdraw their testimony against the director of the orphanage for sexual abuse. He was one of 25 people pardoned by the president during a visit by Pope Francis last year. But his name only became public on 2 February.The issue has become deeply problematic for a government which has made protection of children and traditional family values the cornerstone of its policies. Worst of all for Mr Orban and his party, the departures of the two women have been followed by an avalanche of allegations about the way he runs the country. And this double resignation, coming amid increasing protests, has deprived Viktor Orban of two very different but essential allies.Who is Viktor Orban, Hungarian PM with 14-year grip on power?President Novak radiated a “mother of the nation” image, closely identified with popular policies to encourage couples to have more children. She also promoted a more inclusive, less aggressive style than the prime minister in her largely symbolic role as head of state.The tough-talking Judit Varga had been due to lead the governing Fidesz party into battle against the “Brussels bureaucrats” in the European elections in June. Now she has resigned as an MP and withdrawn from public life.Image source, Thierry Monasse/Getty ImagesImage caption, Until her resignation, Judit Varga was a high-profile Fidesz figure destined to play a key role in the European elections in JuneTwo other key figures have come under attack too – Mr Orban’s communications chief Antal Rogan, who is also in charge of the secret services, and Zoltan Balog, a Protestant bishop and personal adviser to the prime minister.Mr Balog is alleged to have lobbied behind the scenes for the presidential clemency in the Endre K case. He has denied the allegation.Within minutes of Judit Varga’s resignation, her ex-husband, powerful Fidesz insider Peter Magyar, announced: “I do not want to be part of a system for a minute longer where the real culprits hide behind women’s skirts.””For a long time, I believed in an ideal, in a national, sovereign, civic Hungary,” he complained. “However, over the past few years and especially today, I have come to realise all this is indeed just a political product, a sugary coating that serves only two purposes: to conceal the operation of the power factory and to acquire enormous wealth.”He followed that up with a 100-minute interview on Sunday evening to the government-critical Partizan channel on YouTube, which has now been viewed 1.4 million times. Each day, he posts new criticism of government figures on Facebook. On Tuesday, he singled out Antal Rogan, the government’s communications maestro, asking him why he was staying silent, hiding behind the prime minister’s spokesman.”You used to cut a much tougher figure,” he said. “Why are you hiding from your constituents? Why haven’t you held a press conference for years? Are you afraid to answer questions?”Then he turned on Istvan Tiborcz, the son-in-law of the prime minister and husband of Mr Orban’s daughter Rahel.”Dear Stephen [Istvan], you are a really talented person, at the age of 37, you have 100bn Forints (£220m), so many hotels, banks, fund managers, valuable former state-owned properties.””What other companies have you taken over lately? What is the total of government loans or grants you received to build your portfolio? Have you recently visited villages in Borsod [in northeast Hungary], where children sometimes play in the yard without warm clothes in winter?”Image source, ReutersImage caption, Ahead of President Novak’s resignation protesters marched in Budapest to object to the pardon she had given last yearOpposition parties have tabled demands to investigate how the clemency was granted, how the state is run, and to call for the direct election of the next president.The response of the government and of pro-government media has been furious. “We do not respond to the desperate attempts of people in hopeless situations,” insisted the prime minister’s spokesman, Bertalan Havasi, about Peter Magyar.”We must demonstrate our strength, because the pack of hyenas, these completely amoral, lying bastards… now smell blood because they think that the moment has come,” wrote Zsolt Bayer in the government flagship daily, Magyar Nemzet.He went on to propose a show of strength by government supporters on 15 March, a national holiday: “”Let’s show them that the moment hasn’t bloody well come!”Another commentator, Zsolt Jeszenszky, did not hold back in the government tabloid, Pesti Sracok. “Those who proclaim [Judit Varga] an ally of paedophiles, who foam at the mouth demanding her head, are the same vile, satanic mob who demanded the death of Christ from Pontius Pilate,” he fumed. “The scum, the sewer rats, have not changed in 2,000 years.”From the prime minister himself there has been strict silence. At least for now. It is without doubt his biggest challenge in 14 years of uninterrupted Fidesz rule and the high-profile resignations have dented but not yet seriously damaged his power.An anti-Orban protest is planned for Friday, but the prime minister will come out fighting, presumably on Saturday when he is due to deliver his annual state of the nation address.Related TopicsViktor OrbanHungaryMore on this storyHungary president resigns over child-abuse pardonPublished3 days agoTop StoriesRadio 2 presenter Steve Wright dies aged 69Published8 hours ago’No-one was that good’: Tributes pour in for Steve Wright.
