The United States has made it clear that Imran Khan's allegations will not stand in the way of relations with Pakistan. US State Department spokesman Ned Price once again dismissed the PTI chairman's allegations as propaganda, misinformation, misinformation and lies, He said that the US valued relations with Pakistan. He said he was not aware of any scheduled meeting with Pakistani officials immediately. Last week, US Secretary of State Anthony Blanken and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto held detailed talks on advancing bilateral relations.

  At least 24 states are ready to abolish access to the termination of pregnancy. The first huge possible social consequence of the sentence will therefore be the splitting of the United States into two parts. In one it will be possible for women to terminate the pregnancy. In the other, abortion will be punished with prison. Protests erupt in front of the Supreme Court and in many American cities. The conservatives cheer, who for decades have stubbornly tried to erase the right to abortion. Democrats and women's rights groups express their indignation. Jurists and lawyers discuss the legal foundations of the sentence. It is a political, social, and cultural earthquake that is unleashed in the United States after the dissemination of the draft that the Court is preparing , and which would overturn Roe v. Wade, the sentence that in 1973 legalized abortion. Among the questions that are asked, there is obviously also the one about who has decided to release the draft, and why. The sen...

The most common cause of death among young people under 19 years was due to firearms. Last year, more than 4,300 children and adolescents were killed in this way, an increase of 29 percent over the previous year. This is what researchers from the University of Michigan write in the " New England Journal of Medicine ". In 2020, on the other hand, around 3,900 young people died in traffic accidents. The third most common cause was poisoning or drug overdoses. Here, there were 83% more cases than the year before. For a long time, traffic accidents were the most common cause, but because vehicles and drivers have become safer over time, these deaths have dropped dramatically in the last 20 years, say researchers. Over 45,000 people were killed by firearms in the United States by 2020. That is 13 percent more than in 2019. I...
