abortion a crime was unconstitutional because it violated the rights of those who can have children. the ruling opens the door for mexico s health care system to start providing abortions and is a major victory for abortion rights advocates in the mostly catholic country. mexico is the latest in a wave of latin american nations to loosen abortion restrictions. i spoke with bbc news reporter mimi swaby for more on the impact of the ruling. just practically speaking, what will this really mean for women in mexico? this unanimous decision by the supreme court has been a cause for celebration for many people across mexico. it means that public health institutions now must offer abortion services to any individual who requests them. so women across mexico can now access these procedures without facing any legal repercussions or prosecution. it also means that medical personnel who are conducting these terminations will not be criminalised. before this ruling, they could have faced
People get the sleep they need to operate safely. When you are working on a 24 7 operation, we have seen too many people in investigations at the ntsb be pressure to work long shifts. Those laws are there to really protect the driver and all of us that are on the roadway. As you know, there are certain threshold requirements. It is the weight of the vehicle the size of the vehicle, the type of operation they do as to what laws affect them and whether or not they are considered a commercial vehicle or have to hold a commercial drivers license. Until those things are changed if those vans are beneath the 26,000pound threshold for interstate commerce, they will not get picked up. Some companies insure that all of their drivers, no matter the size of the vehicle they operate, obey the rules. Those are the best companies could we have got to figure out a way to highlight those and get the Bad Companies out of business. Host one more call out of New Hampshire. New hampshire.

A 1953 tornado destroyed much of Downtown Waco and killed 114 people. It remains the 11th deadliest tornado in u. S. History. We spoke with the city of wacos Municipal Information director about the tornado. Fraternal groups, clubs, fundraisers. That was part of it. The city itself stepped forward and dedicated a lot of the city funds to doing things that would not be typically funded by the city. But to recover from a tragedy and when you have major losses, major infrastructure losses in our city organization.

To have a female voice at that time period its incredible. So i do think, and if i recall correctly from some of the things that ive read, austins map steven f. Austins map, theres some influence in this particular map but i think its a great progression to show from the 1816 map on into this map from 1836. The next map id like to show you is a colton map. This is really during the republic time period. Its dated 1839 and you can see the different counties that have been set up certainly they are not the way they are today. Again, this would have been hand colored well after the map would have been printed. Its by the general land off of the republic of texas. And it shows this progression of 1836.
