The Turkish lira sank close to another record low with Turkey's presidential election heading for an unprecedented runoff, with one analyst forecasting further weakness for the currency over the short term. "Unfortunately it looks like [what] up to 49% of Turks have voted for is an economic crisis ... The YSK confirmed Monday afternoon that the presidential election would indeed go to a runoff on May 28.. Neither 20-year incumbent Erdogan nor Kilicdaroglu has so far cleared the 50% threshold needed to secure an outright victory.

Small icons of scientific papers are lined up in a grid, each representing a study of medication abortion. Studies of abortion pills Each icon represents one study that reported serious complications after medication abortion. For pregnant women considering medication abortion, the alternatives would be childbirth or procedural abortion.

But the study itself notes that bleeding is expected, serious complications are rare and medication abortion is safe.

Kosher wines are made everywhere from Napa to Bordeaux. With Passover approaching, Lettie Teague found five bottles worthy of any celebration. “It seems like writing a pre-Passover article on kosher wine is a bit of an anachronism,” said the head winemaker of Golan Heights Winery, in an email. After all, reasoned Mr. Schoenfeld, kosher wines are consumed year-round. However, with Passover fast approaching and having just finished a tasting of 20 kosher wines, I would argue that now is actually a very good time to share with readers—especially those planning a Seder or wishing to bring a bottle to one—what I learned about the kosher wines available now.

“This is a major life decision that should involve the parents,” Circuit Judge Paul Niemeyer said as the panel heard arguments in the case before it makes a decision. Steven Fitschen, the group's president, said in an email that he anticipates filing more lawsuits challenging school policies barring the disclosure of students' gender identity. At least 168 U.S. school districts with more than 3.2 million students have such policies, according to conservative group Parents Defending Education. Parents have filed lawsuits challenging similar policies adopted by school districts in Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Virginia and Iowa, among other states. Quattlebaum and Circuit Judge Allison Rushing, who rounded out the panel, are appointees of Republican former President Donald Trump.

☆ Major fears are sweeping into Israel's economy
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-02 | by ( Jason Gewirtz | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

Picture Alliance | Picture Alliance | Getty ImagesNew concerns about Israel's economy are leading global investors to question the money they have in the country. The law would alter Israel's judicial system by giving sitting governments full control of judicial appointments. A drop in Israel's credit rating would increase the cost of borrowing and hurt fundraising. A major part of the Israeli economy is tied to the value of the Israel shekel against the U.S. dollar. That in turn hurt critical parts of Israel's economy including real estate, as companies and individual citizens moved their money into U.S. dollars or other currencies.

Gretchen Whitmer and Attorney General Dana Nessel, both Democrats who pledged to protect abortion rights, won re-election. But two candidates for the State Supreme Court who were backed by anti-abortion groups did not win their races.
