Read moreAlabama passes a bill banning abortion
The senate in the US state of Alabama has passed a highly restrictive abortion law. It effectively bans abortions, except when the woman's life is at risk. Abortion after rape or incest would be banned and doctors face from 10 to 99 years in prison for carrying out an abortion. Opponents warn that it's part of efforts to revoke the Supreme Court judgement Roe vs Wade, which established a constitutional right to end a pregnancy. Newsday's Tom Hagler spoke to Dina Zirlott who's campaigning against the legislation. She was raped and became pregnant at age 17.

Read moreTrump ropes Fed into US-China trade dispute
US President Donald Trump has been breaking with tradition, putting pressure on the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates low.
This is unusual for presidents who have historically tried to respect the independence of the central bank in order not to erode confidence on its decisions.
But Mr Trump went a step further this week:
"China will be pumping money into their system and probably reducing interest rates, as always, in order to make up for the business they are, and will be, losing," Trump said on Twitter
"If the Federal Reserve ever did a 'match,' it would be game over, we win! In any event, China wants a deal!"
Mr Trump suggests the Fed could help the US 'win' its trade war if it 'matches' China's stimulus efforts.
