Pro-choice movement gains momentum in Latin America
Several weeks pregnant and about to move for a new job, Mexican resident Lupita Ruiz wanted to end her pregnancy - despite knowing she could face jail time for having an abortion. She asked friends for help until she found a doctor two hours away who agreed to do it in secret. Five years later, lawmakers in her home state of Chiapas are set to consider an initiative to halt prosecutions of women who terminate their pregnancies - part of a movement sweeping Latin America to loosen some of the world’s most restrictive abortion laws. "We talk about it socially amongst ourselves now. Young people and older people talk about it. I can talk about it with my mom, I can talk about it with my grandmother. I think we've advanced socially through collective action." Ruiz herself is active in the movement, helping to craft the Chiapas initiative. While a patchwork of state restrictions apply in Mexico, several Latin American nations ban abortion outright… including El Salvador, which has sentenced some women to up to 40 years in prison. Most countries, including Brazil, the region’s most populous, allow abortion only in specific circumstances, such as rape or health risk to the mother. Only Uruguay and Cuba allow elective abortions. But change is palpable across the predominantly Roman Catholic region. In Argentina, roughly one million women came out in 2018 to rally for a legalization bill that only narrowly failed to pass in Pope Francis’s home country. The movement spurring new center-left Argentine president Alberto Fernandez to propose a new bill last month. "Abortions occur clandestinely and they put the lives and health at risk of the women who are subject to them. Therefore, the dilemma we must overcome is whether abortions are performed clandestinely or in the Argentine health system." In Chile, activists like Anita Pena are celebrating a vote in October to write a new constitution as a chance to expand upon a 2017 law that permitted abortion to save a mother’s life, in cases of rape, or if the fetus is not viable. "Chile is facing a scenario of very substantive social and political change. This is a historic moment for feminist organizations.” But activists agree there is still a long way to go, with restrictive laws entrenched in many countries. As in Brazil, where far-right President Jair Bolsonaro has vowed to veto any pro-choice bills. For Pena, it’s a reminder to push even harder, telling Reuters (quote) "no fight is ever finished."

PSG train at Old Trafford ahead of United battle

VARIOUS OF SQUAD GOING THROUGH WARM-UP DRILLS 3. SQUAD WALKING TO START PASSING AND DRIBBLING DRILLS 4. VARIOUS OF SQUAD GOING THROUGH PASSING AND DRIBBLING DRILLS STORY: Paris St Germain finalised training prep on Tuesday (December 1) ahead of their pivotal Champions League Group H game at Manchester United on Wednesday. Last year's runners-up are second on six points, three adrift of United and ahead of RB Leipzig, who face Istanbul Basaksehir, only thanks to their better head-to-head record. Earlier PSG coach Thomas Tuchel described aiming for a win at Old Trafford as one of the 'world's greatest challenges'. PSG have only grabbed one point from their last two Ligue 1 games and they were fortunate to beat Leipzig 1-0 at the Parc des Princes last week. Their injury woes have however, almost disappeared with only fullbacks Thilo Kehrer and Juan Bernat, as well as midfielders Pablo Sarabia and Julian Draxler, out of the clash. Tuchel is also hoping that France striker Kylian Mbappe will rediscover his scoring touch in the Champions League, having failed to find the net in his last eight appearances in the competition, a streak that dates back to last December.

Mnuchin, Powell push for more small business aid
(SOT- U.S. TREASURY SECRETARY STEVEN MNUCHIN) "Based upon the recent economic data, I continue to believe that a targeted fiscal package is the most appropriate federal response." Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell were back on Capitol Hill Tuesday - urging lawmakers to agree on another economic stimulus package. Speaking to the Senate Banking Committee, Mnuchin said small businesses, particularly, restaurants are in dire need of assistance, and could be helped by another round of funding to the Paycheck Protection Program, or PPP, which helped bolster the economy earlier this year. "The president and I believe that restaurants had been unfairly targeted, and I'd urge Congress to support another $300 billion dollars for PPP. This would have a real impact. These restaurants need grants. They don't need loans." Some of that money, he urged, could be repurposed from funds he is clawing back from other Fed programs, which are set to expire at the end of the year. His decision to shut some emergency lending programs has sparked outrage from Democrats, and set off a testy exchange between the Treasury Secretary and Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown. (SOT- SENATOR SHERROD BROWN (D)-OHIO) "Other than using your final months in office to work for the people for whom you have sworn to serve, you appear to be trying to sabotage our economy on the way out the door." (SOT- MNUCHIN) "My decision not to extend these facilities was not an economic decision. I'm surprised to hear Senator Brown use words like sabotage, no legitimate justification, delusional, malpractice, time for action." Powell, who is on record as disagreeing with Mnuchin's decision, decided not to pile on the criticism, choosing instead to focus on what the two agree on. "Our thinking is we would have left facilities in place to be backstops. We don't second-guess the Secretary's decision about the CARES act money because that's entirely his decision to make but I think central banks would have generally done that. What we're hearing is that there are a lot of small businesses that are at risk of going out of business during this winter, which could be a tough few months. There are parts of the economy that will need help or might need help to get that last span of the bridge in place to get to the other side of the pandemic." Help could soon be on the way. After weeks of deadlock, a bipartisan group of lawmakers have put together a new stimulus plan. Any plan, says Mnuchin, needs to be voted on quickly.

Yellen: U.S. facing an ‘American tragedy’
"It's an American tragedy and it's essential that we move with urgency. Inaction will produce a self-reinforcing downturn, causing yet more devastation," Yellen said. Yellen spoke at an event where Biden formally introduced his top economic policy advisers as his administration prepares to take power amid a slowing economic recovery hampered by the resurgent pandemic. Yellen, who previously served as U.S. Federal Reserve Chair, said the pandemic has disproportionately impacted the most needy and it is essential to move with urgency. She also said it is key to make sure the economic recovery includes everyone. Yellen and other advisers have also expressed support for government stimulus to maximize employment, reduce economic inequality and help women and minorities, who have been disproportionately hurt by the economic downturn.

Facebook oversight board picks first cases
Facebook’s independent oversight board announced on Tuesday that it’s taking on its first six cases. The board, which Facebook created in response to criticism of its handling of problematic content, could overrule the social media company’s decisions to remove certain pieces of content from its platforms. It has received 20,000 cases since opening its doors in October. Three of the six chosen cases involved content that Facebook removed for breaking hate speech rules. The other three cases involved content removed from Facebook or Instagram for violating rules on nudity, dangerous individuals and organizations, and violence and incitement. The board has opened a week-long public comment period on the first cases, which will be reviewed by five-member panels. There is a 90-day deadline for decisions on the cases to be reached and for Facebook to act on them.
