U.S. Navy Admiral Samuel Paparo recently issued a number of warnings about China and North Korea during an appearance at a security forum, including a major concern about how Russia might help Beijing cut U.S. naval dominance. "I expect Russia to provide submarine technology to the PRC that has the potential of closing American undersea dominance over the PRC," Paparo, who leads the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM), said during a Saturday appearance at the Halifax International Security Forum. He also suggested that Russia could extend that assistance to North Korea, providing submarine technology as well as missiles to Pyongyang. China remains the top "pacing challenge" for the Pentagon , meaning that of all rivals the U.S. monitors, China has managed to close the gap in power far more easily than any other has. Earlier this week, Paparo described the Indo-Pacific theater as the "most stressing theater" due to the quantity and quality of munitions required to counter China. "The closer we get to it, the less relevant that date is," he said, referring to the much discussed and speculated invasion of Taiwan, which China has spent years preparing to execute. "We must be ready today, tomorrow, next month, next year, and onwards." "The way one controls for unintended escalation is by enhancing one's understanding of the strategic environment or of the tactical environment," Paparo added, noting that "playing chicken on the high seas...does not keep me up at night," according to Air & Space Forces Magazine . Newsweek has reached out to the Pentagon, INDOPACOM, and the Chinese and Russian foreign ministries by email on Saturday afternoon for comment. Mark Montgomery, a retired rear-admiral and Center on Cyber and Technology Innovation (CCTI) senior director and senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracy (FDD), told Newsweek via phone on Saturday that Russia's submarines have several advantageous technological capabilities —primarily, the quieting technology, which makes detection difficult. "There's submarine quieting technology, some of their submarine Combat Systems Technology, our second best in the world, or third best, if you include the UK. But behind the United States, there is a significant delta between Russian and Chinese submarine technology," Montgomery said. He noted that while it seems a gamble for Russia to empower China's submarines, understanding that it could remove some future leverage between the two nations when it comes to military power, "this bothers the United States most." "Ask it this way: Would Putin be comfortable doing something that he knows will really piss off the United States? My answer is yes. He's very mad at us now. He thinks we should follow the big country/little country model and back off and not help Ukraine," Montgomery said. He added: "I say it's a calculated risk: I'm going to sacrifice a little of my leverage over China in the future...in terms of military leverage, or leverage in terms of something I can trade them in the future that I now have to deal with now. I'm going to sacrifice some leverage to get the support I need to maintain the upper hand against Ukraine in the West in that contest." Paparo's comments on Saturday address this additional problem the U.S. has highlighted over the past few years—namely, the increasing cooperation between China and Russia as a means of counteracting U.S. influence and military power in the international security landscape. Prior to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, China agreed to purchase around 100 million tons of coal for the "coming years," ensuring an economic lifeline for Russia as it got slammed by sanctions on everything from its economy to its energy trade. That landmark deal precipitated further economic cooperation, with the two world powers doubling down on their commitment to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which Beijing organized and led, and the BRICS economic bloc. BRICS—formed between Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—looked to expand its membership by inviting nations such as Iran, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. Analysts view the BRICS summit as a strategic move by Moscow to strengthen ties with the Global South amid escalating tensions with the West.UCF, LSU face off with improved focus in mind7 Best Gaming Phones Under Rs 40000 In November 2024
No. 10 Georgia scores nearly at will, destroys UMassATLANTA – Observations and other notes of interest from Saturday’s 120-110 loss to the Atlanta Hawks: – Typically emotion can be difficult to muster for an afternoon game. – Prior to Saturday’s tipoff, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra joked about the potential need for another cup of coffee. – But he was plenty caffeinated when asked about the Kings’ Friday decision to dismiss coach Mike Brown less than two years after Brown led Sacramento to the playoffs and was named NBA Coach of the Year. – For Spoelstra, this was personal. – “I texted with him last night,” Spoelstra said. “It’s just a really sad state of our profession. It seems like I’m making comments about coaches far too often. Somebody on our staff mentioned that it was almost 15 coaches in Sacramento since I’ve been head coach.” – Spoelstra is in his 17 seasons as Heat coach. – “They’ve had some really good head coaches come through there,” Spoelstra continued. “Mike and I go all the way back to the beginning. We were both video coordinators. He’s a great coach. What they did there is really hard to do. If you’ve been losing for 15, 20 years since Rick Adelman was there, and to change the culture and make the playoffs – you stick with it.” – With that, Spoelstra again offered appreciation for his coaching longevity, as well as disdain for organizations that don’t allow such allowances. – “Some of our best moments have been when we’ve lost or we struggled with things and you all get in a room, and basically the organization says, ‘Figure it the F out. There are no changes,’ ” Spoelstra said. “So I feel for Mike having to go through that. He was the same guy who was Coach of the Year less than 24 months ago. This league is hard. You have to go through adversity together as an entire organization, if you’re going to break through and get to the other side. But, yeah, that sucks.” – Spoelstra stayed with the opening lineup of Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo, Haywood Highsmith, Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Duncan Robinson for the third consecutive game, with Jimmy Butler missing his fourth consecutive game. – The appearance was the 100th of Jaquez’s regular-season career. – Lacking Dyson Daniels, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Onyeka Okongwu among others, the Hawks opened with a lineup of Zaccharie Risacher, Jalen Johnson, Clint Capela, Vit Krejci and Trae Young. – Spoelstra then went for youthful size in his first substitution, with Nikola Jovic and Kel’el Ware entering together as the first two off the Heat bench. – Terry Rozier followed shortly thereafter. – With Alec Burks making it nine deep. – And Pelle Larsson in the second period making it 10 deep for the Heat. – Saturday’s game presented an ultimate contrast in style, with the Heat coming off an 89-point performance in Thursday’s victory in Orlando and the Hawks coming off a 50-point fourth quarter in their Thursday victory over the Bulls. Related Articles – “Our game isn’t necessarily – it’s definitely not – playing in the 80s,” Spoelstra said. “But sometimes you just have to do whatever you have to do. And on the road, it really just becomes about that, rallying around each other and figuring it out.” – He added pregame, “Atlanta’s playing better lately. We know they can put points on the board. You have to respect that. But we have some things that we do well, as well.” – Herro extended his career-best streak of games scoring in double figures to 59. His previous high was 38 in a row. – Adebayo recorded the 207th double-double of his career, now past Alonzo Mourning (205) for second on the Heat all-time list. Only Rony Seikaly (221) has more. – The game opened the Heat’s sixth of the Heat’s 15 back-to-back sets this season, to conclude Sunday in Houston. The Heat go into Sunday 3-2 on the second nights of such pairings. – Asked about the Heat pregame, Hawks coach Quin Snyder said, “They’re tough. They defend. They really, offensively, within the execution, they’re great at making reads and finding each other. I think for us you’re always cautious of preparing against them.”

Abortion has become slightly more common despite bans or deep restrictions in most Republican-controlled states, and the legal and political fights over its future are not over yet. It's now been two and a half years since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and opened the door for states to implement bans. The policies and their impact have been in flux ever since the ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. Here's a look at data on where things stand: Overturning Roe and enforcing abortion bans has changed how woman obtain abortions in the U.S. But one thing it hasn't done is put a dent in the number of abortions being obtained. There have been slightly more monthly abortions across the country recently than there were in the months leading up to the June 2022 ruling, even as the number in states with bans dropped to near zero. “Abortion bans don’t actually prevent abortions from happening,” said Ushma Upadhyay, a public health social scientist at the University of California San Francisco. But, she said, they do change care. For women in some states, there are major obstacles to getting abortions — and advocates say that low-income, minority and immigrant women are least likely to be able to get them when they want. For those living in states with bans, the ways to access abortion are through travel or abortion pills. As the bans swept in, abortion pills became a bigger part of the equation. They were involved in about half the abortions before Dobbs. More recently, it’s been closer to two-thirds of them, according to research by the Guttmacher Institute. The uptick of that kind of abortion, usually involving a combination of two drugs, was underway before the ruling. But now, it's become more common for pill prescriptions to be made by telehealth. By the summer of 2024, about 1 in 10 abortions was via pills prescribed via telehealth to patients in states where abortion is banned. As a result, the pills are now at the center of battles over abortion access. This month, Texas sued a New York doctor for prescribing pills to a Texas woman via telemedicine. There's also an effort by Idaho, Kansas and Missouri to roll back their federal approvals and treat them as “controlled dangerous substances,” and a push for the federal government to start enforcing a 19th-century federal law to ban mailing them. Clinics have closed or halted abortions in states with bans. But a network of efforts to get women seeking abortions to places where they're legal has strengthened and travel for abortion is now common. The Guttmacher Institute found that more than twice as many Texas residents obtained abortion in 2023 in New Mexico as New Mexico residents did. And as many Texans received them in Kansas as Kansans. Abortion funds, which benefitted from “rage giving” in 2022, have helped pay the costs for many abortion-seekers. But some funds have had to cap how much they can give . Since the downfall of Roe, the actions of lawmakers and courts have kept shifting where abortion is legal and under what conditions. Here's where it stands now: Florida, the nation’s third most-populous state, began enforcing a ban on abortions after the first six weeks of pregnancy on May 1. That immediately changed the state from one that was a refuge for other Southerners seeking abortion to an exporter of people looking for them. There were about 30% fewer abortions there in May compared with the average for the first three months of the year. And in June, there were 35% fewer. While the ban is not unique, the impact is especially large. The average driving time from Florida to a facility in North Carolina where abortion is available for the first 12 weeks of pregnancy is more than nine hours, according to data maintained by Caitlin Myers, a Middlebury College economics professor. The bans have meant clinics closed or stopped offering abortions in some states. But some states where abortion remains legal until viability – generally considered to be sometime past 21 weeks of pregnancy , though there’s no fixed time for it – have seen clinics open and expand . Illinois, Kansas and New Mexico are among the states with new clinics. There were 799 publicly identifiable abortion providers in the U.S. in May 2022, the month before the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade. And by this November, it was 792, according to a tally by Myers, who is collecting data on abortion providers. But Myers says some hospitals that always provided some abortions have begun advertising it. So they’re now in the count of clinics – even though they might provide few of them. How hospitals handle pregnancy complications , especially those that threaten the lives of the women, has emerged as a major issue since Roe was overturned. President Joe Biden's administration says hospitals must offer abortions when they're needed to prevent organ loss, hemorrhage or deadly infections, even in states with bans. Texas is challenging the administration’s policy and the U.S. Supreme Court this year declined to take it up after the Biden administration sued Idaho. More than 100 pregnant women seeking help in emergency rooms and were turned away or left unstable since 2022, The Associated Press found in an analysis of federal hospital investigative records. Among the complaints were a woman who miscarried in the lobby restroom of Texas emergency room after staff refused to see her and a woman who gave birth in a car after a North Carolina hospital couldn't offer an ultrasound. The baby later died. “It is increasingly less safe to be pregnant and seeking emergency care in an emergency department,” Dara Kass, an emergency medicine doctor and former U.S. Health and Human Services official told the AP earlier this year. Since Roe was overturned, there have been 18 reproductive rights-related statewide ballot questions. Abortion rights advocates have prevailed on 14 of them and lost on four. In the 2024 election , they amended the constitutions in five states to add the right to abortion. Such measures failed in three states: In Florida, where it required 60% support; in Nebraska, which had competing abortion ballot measures; and in South Dakota, where most national abortion rights groups did support the measure. AP VoteCast data found that more than three-fifths of voters in 2024 supported abortion being legal in all or most cases – a slight uptick from 2020. The support came even as voters supported Republicans to control the White House and both houses of Congress. Associated Press writers Linley Sanders, Amanda Seitz and Laura Ungar contributed to this article.
