The governor of the US state of Iowa signed into law Friday a ban on abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected, which occurs as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. The bill, approved by the Midwestern state's Republican-controlled legislature just two days earlier, was expected to trigger a legal battle, which conservatives hope will land the flashpoint social issue back at the US Supreme Court. "I understand and anticipate that this will likely be challenged in court," Republican Governor Kim Reynolds said in a statement after the signing. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2Ikt43x via Latest News

That translates to about 70 new devices for each of the two years. And now we're in the dark ages, the steep decline is hard to miss.

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and hundreds of his supporters were arrested in central Moscow on Saturday during nationwide rallies against President Vladimir Putin’s inauguration for a fourth term in office.  Police grabbed Mr Navalny, 41, soon after he showed up at the rally in Pushkin Square, as some shouted "Shame" in Ukrainian, a famous slogan of the Kiev uprising that ousted a Kremlin-backed regime in 2014.  More than 700 people were arrested in Moscow, where riot police were seen beating protesters with truncheons and dragging them into police vans. Tear gas was also briefly used, according to reports. A helicopter hovered overhead in an apparent bid to drown out chants. Similar demonstrations were organised in cities across Russia, with more than 1,600 people detained by police by early evening according to the OVD-Info independent monitor.  Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny attends a protest rally ahead of President Vladimir Putin's inauguration
