Mississippi judge refuses to block abortion ban
WASHINGTON — A judge in Mississippi has rejected a request from the state's only abortion clinic to temporarily block a ban on almost all abortions.It means that - providing there are no further legal developments - the ban will take effect on Thursday with the clinic closing the day before.The ban can come into force because the Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v Wade ruling last month.The 1973 decision guaranteed the constitutional right to an abortion.The decision to overturn it was met with scenes of protest and joy around the country, as both pro-choice and anti-abortion supporters reacted to a development that will transform abortion rights in America for years to come.Millions of women will lose access to abortion as conservative states such as Mississippi seek to...

Caribbean is ‘ground zero’ for the global climate emergency: Guterres
PARAMARIBO — The UN Secretary-General’s final day in Suriname began on a small plane and ended at a podium.A 90-minute flyover from Paramaribo into the Central Suriname Nature Reserve revealed to António Guterres the astounding beauty of the Amazon but also spotlighted the threats the rainforest is facing from mining and logging activities, and climate change.The Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is an immense protected area covering around 11 percent of the national territory, is recognized for its tabletop mountains and endless biodiversity — some believed to be undiscovered — and remains for the most part inaccessible and unaffected by human activity.From above, the rainforest canopy was painted with countless shades of green, with some treetops covered in waves of orange...

China attack not imminent, but US watching closely, says Gen Milley
WASHINGTON — A Chinese attack on Taiwan is not imminent, the top US general said, but the US is watching "very closely".China is clearly developing the capability to attack at some point, but deciding to do so would be a political choice, Gen Mark Milley told the BBC.China said Taiwan is a breakaway province that must be re-unified with the mainland, by force if necessary.It has accused the US of supporting Taiwan's independence, and vowed to "resolutely crush" any such attempt.There has been a marked escalation recently between China and the US —Taiwan's most powerful ally.China has been sending scores of warplanes into Taiwan's air defense zone, while the US has sent naval ships through Taiwan's waters.In May, US President Joe Biden said China was...

Suriname gives ‘hope and inspiration to the world to save our rainforests’: UN chief 
PARAMARIBO — Suriname might be the smallest and least populated country in South America, but it is also one of the greenest. Considered a global leader in biodiversity conservation, with more than 90 percent of its land surface covered by native forests, the nation’s unrivaled natural resources more than make up for its size.Suriname is considered a carbon negative country, as its rainforests absorb more emissions than the country emits. Thick green foliage seems to be just about everywhere, even near the outskirts of the capital, Paramaribo, which is itself dotted with bustling markets and cultural centers.On Saturday, UN Secretary-General António Guterres saw first-hand the commitment of the Surinamese people to protect their natural treasures and ancestral knowledge.“Rainforests...
