Republican leaders want to restrict abortions nationwide, but they lack wide public support. Voters in Nebraska cast ballots today to decide who will be their Republican candidate for governor in a race seen as the latest test of former President Trump's influence in the party. And the prime minister of Sri Lanka is resigning after weeks of protest against his government.

Who's Seeking Abortions, Worry On Wall Street, Election In Philippines

Most patients in the U.S. who get abortions are in their 20s, are already parents, and are early in pregnancy.

Dua Lipa On Ambition And The Pressures Of Fame

2021 was a good year for Dua Lipa. Her most recent album "Future Nostalgia" won a Grammy for best pop vocal album and was the second most streamed album on Spotify. But while she's grateful, Dua Lipa doesn't seem very surprised. It's almost like this was meant to happen. In this conversation, the 26-year-old pop star opens up about where her confidence comes from and the moments when it has been shaken. Dua Lipa also discusses her new newsletter Service95 and the accompanying podcast "At Your Service" where she discusses weighty issues like addiction and identity with guests she admires.
