Democratic candidates have sought to ensure voters understand the connection between legislative races and abortion access after decades of federal protection. The state Supreme Court this year ruled the state constitution does not protect abortion rights, reversing its own ruling from four years earlier after several new appointees joined the court. She reeled off a list of steps the Democratic majority has taken to expand abortion rights.

An American flag waves outside the U.S. Department of Justice Building in Washington, U.S., December 2, 2020. REUTERS/Tom Brenner/File PhotoWASHINGTON, Sept 20 (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department has been drastically under-counting the number of state prison and arrest-related deaths, including failing to count at least 990 deaths in 2021 alone, a bipartisan Senate investigation has found. "Of the 990 uncounted deaths, 341 were prison deaths disclosed on states’ public websites and 649 were arrest-related deaths disclosed in a reliable, public database," they said. Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com RegisterThe report found 70% of the records the department collected on state prison deaths in 2021 were missing at least one data field required by law. A Justice Department report issued on Friday addressed many of the concerns around prison death reporting, saying it "recognizes the importance of collecting complete and accurate data to inform strategies for reducing deaths in custody."

Ploi abundente au provocat inundaţii duminică în nordul Italiei, declanşând alerta roşie în anumite zone din Veneto (nord-est), Friuli (nord) şi provincia Bolzano (nordul extrem), transmite AFP, citează Agerpres. În câteva ore, pompierii din regiunea Veneto au trebuit să efectueze peste 400 de intervenţii de urgenţă între Belluno, Vicenza, Treviso şi Veneţia. Alerta de avalanşă a fost activată în masivul Dolomiţi şi Trentino-Tirolul de Sud, unde pompierii au efectuat 500 de intervenţii în ultimele 24 de ore.O altă consecinţă a intemperiilor: meciul de fotbal dintre Udinese şi Atalanta a trebuit amânat, deoarece terenul era prea inundat. Sudul ţării, deşi mai puţin afectat, nu a fost total cruţat: în Sicilia, o furtună violentă a lovit Messina sâmbătă seara, inundând străzile şi căile de acces. Legăturile maritime cu insulele Eoliene (nordul Siciliei) au fost suspendate de sâmbătă din cauza vânturilor puternice.
