Abortion rights in the US could change as top judges in the country appear poised to accept a law that would bar terminations after 15 weeks of pregnancy, even in cases of rape or incest. The case in the Supreme Court that has been called the most conservative leaning in modern US history is being considered and indications show a majority backed upholding that Mississippi law. There were about 630,000 reported abortions in 2019 - an 18% decrease in terminations compared with 2010. A change in the law may mean millions of women would lose abortion access, and experts warn of an increase in maternal mortality if restrictions come into force. However anti-abortion activists say they are urging the courts to protect unborn children. A ruling is expected in June.

"I would never point a gun at anyone and pull a trigger at them. Never," says actor Alec Baldwin. He reveals this in his first sit-down interview after cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was fatally injured on the set of his film Rust. She was shot during a rehearsal with what Mr Baldwin believed to be a "cold" - or safe - gun in New Mexico. The gun is believed to have fired when he removed it from a holster during rehearsals for a forthcoming scene. Ms Hutchins died in hospital following the shooting that also resulted in director Joel Souza being injured. The 80-minute interview with Mr Baldwin was "raw", according to George Stephanopoulos from ABC News, who describes the actor as "devastated" yet "very candid" and "forthcoming". "I've done thousands of interviews in the last 20 years at ABC," says Mr Stephanopoulos. "This was the most intense I've ever experienced."

Sending in a CV, filling in an application form, using a recruiter or finding a contact at the place you want to work is usually how most of us go about finding a job. But after having no luck and getting fed up, one banking and finance graduate decided to take matters into his own hands. He created a pop-up stand outside a London Underground station, conquered his nerves and began chatting and pitching himself to potential employers - and his luck soon changed. Here’s his story.

And finally, this job won’t suit everyone and it requires a lot of patience. Just capturing 20 seconds of sounds from animals in their natural habitat often means hours of staying still and solitude.
