https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-59495210 The US Supreme Court seemed prepared to accept a new Mississippi abortion law as it heard arguments in the most important abortion case in decades. The case concerns a state law that bars abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The court has never before allowed bans before a foetus can survive outside the womb, around 24 weeks, but appeared open to such restrictions on Wednesday. The ruling, expected in June, may see millions of women lose abortion access. Both sides of the debate regard this case as an all-or-nothing fight over abortion rights, with nationwide consequences. Lawyers defending the Mississippi law have explicitly asked the court to overturn two landmark decisions regarding abortion. The first, 1973's Roe v Wade, gave women in the US an absolute right to an abortion in the first three months of pregnancy, and limited rights in the second trimester. Nearly two decades later, in Planned Parenthood v Casey, the court ruled that states could not place an "undue burden" on women seeking abortions before foetal viability, about 24 weeks. In the years since, foetal viability standard has acted as a red line in abortion law, preventing any bans an abortion before this time. But anti-abortion campaigners hope the current ideological makeup of the court has created a new opening for earlier restrictions. The court, reshaped by three appointments under former President Donald Trump, has been called the most conservative-leaning in modern US history. What did the court hear? Addressing the court today - with its 6-to-3 conservative majority - Mississippi Solicitor General Scott Stewart told justices that past rulings Roe and Casey "haunt our country" and "poison the law". Mr Stewart took direct aim at the existing foetal viability standard, arguing that it is not "tethered" to the Constitution or any other historical precedent. Justice Sonya Sotomayor, a liberal, took issue with this claim, responding: "there's so much that's not in the Constitution". Representing Jackson Women's Health Organization - the only abortion clinic in Mississippi - Julie Rikelman of the Center for Reproductive Rights spoke next, asking the court to strike down the Mississippi law and maintain a woman's right to abortion. "Mississippi's ban on abortion, two months before viability, is flatly unconstitutional under decades of precedent," Ms Rickelman said. Mississippi's law would "force women to remain pregnant and give birth against their will". Ms Rickleman underlined her argument that foetal viability is the "central holding" of both Roe and Casey, and urged the court to uphold its own precedent. But she faced pointed questioning from several of the justices, including Chief Justice John Roberts, on why the viability standard is appropriate. In his questions on Wednesday, the chief justice appeared open to abortion bans after 15 weeks, a troubling sign for abortion advocates because Mr Roberts is seen widely as the ideological centrist of the court. The US Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar also spoke before the court today, arguing against the Mississippi abortion ban on behalf of the Biden administration. "The real world effects of overruling Roe and Casey would be severe and swift," she said, adding that women have come to rely on this "fundamental right". What are campaigners saying? If the court strikes down Roe v Wade, or rules that the Mississippi law does not place an undue burden on women seeking abortions before foetal viability, at least 21 states are expected to introduce abortion restrictions, including outright bans after 15 weeks. In these states, nearly half of US women of reproductive age (18-49) - some 36 million people - could lose abortion access, according to research from Planned Parenthood, a healthcare organisation that provides abortions. Carol Tobias, president of anti-abortion group National Right to Life, told the BBC she was optimistic that the court would step in "to protect unborn children". "We certainly hope that they will let the Mississippi law stand," she said. "We'd love to see them go even further and say that unborn human beings deserve the same protection as born human beings." Some experts have predicted dangerous ripple effects if abortion is restricted. "We will see significant increases in maternal mortality, which are already disproportionately experienced by women of colour. We will see families descend into greater levels of poverty because the inability to take care of kids, rises in domestic violence," said Katherine Franke, director of the center for gender and sexuality law at Columbia University. Who gets abortions in the US? There were about 630,000 reported abortions in the US in 2019 according to the US Centers for Disease Control. This was an 18% decrease compared with 2010. Women in their twenties account for the majority of abortions - in 2019 about 57% were in this age group. Black Americans get abortions at the highest rate - 27 per 1,000 women aged 15-44. The pro-choice Guttmacher Institute says a lack of access to healthcare plays a role, as does discrimination. Their 2014 survey found three quarters of people receiving abortions were either on low incomes or below the poverty line in the US. "The typical abortion patient is in their twenties, doesn't have a lot of money and has one or more children," said Rachel Jones, a principal investigator at the Guttmacher Institute. And data shows that women of colour are overrepresented among abortion patients. After two hours of oral arguments, the Roe v Wade precedent that has set a baseline of abortion rights through the US for nearly half a century appears to be in serious jeopardy. That shouldn't come as a huge surprise, given that the US Supreme Court is now dominated by conservatives, three of whom were appointed by Donald Trump with the explicit goal of overturning Roe. Still, the tenor of questioning by the justices over the course of the morning suggests that there is, at the very least, a five-justice majority willing to uphold Mississippi's ban on all abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. Chief Justice John Roberts, who is now at the ideological centre of the court, seemed comfortable with such a result which, in and of itself, would constitute a major blow to Roe's first-trimester abortion protections. That may end up a best-case scenario for abortion-rights supporters at this point, however. Other justices, like Amy Coney Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh, displayed an openness to a wholesale reversal of Roe, returning the question of abortion legality to individual states. That's the outcome anti-abortion activists have been working toward for decades - and today it seems closer than ever to becoming a reality.

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-59492261 Some UK residents in South Africa have said new travel rules mean they can't afford to fly home. Ten southern African countries, also including Namibia and Zimbabwe, have been added to the UK's travel red list. Arrivals to the UK from these countries must pay for and self-isolate in a pre-booked government-approved hotel for 10 days, costing thousands of pounds. Hannah Day rushed to South Africa to take care of her son who was seriously unwell after a venomous snake bite. The 25 year-old has since made a full recovery, and Hannah is due to fly back to the UK on 11 December. She's worried because she can't afford a quarantine hotel. She can't do her job from South Africa either, where she was born and some of her family still live. New Covid variant leads to scramble for flights What are the UK's new travel rules? "I was unemployed for quite a while during Covid... And my son's anti-venom is going to be more than £5,000 - so I've got to get back," Hannah says. She currently works as an employment advisor and is expected back on 13 December. Due to data protection reasons, she needs to work on her cases from the UK. Hannah says that her company has been "fabulous", with her manager offering to lend her the money for the hotel and allowing her to borrow holiday against next year's leave allowance. The one thing that would help? If South Africa was moved to the green list, or if self-isolation at home was re-introduced. "I feel so much gratitude because my son is OK. There's no doubt I could not have flown here... but I can't wait to get back home." line What are the rules on travel to the UK? New travel rules have been introduced following concerns about the newly identified Omicron variant of Covid. Every traveller entering the UK now needs to take a PCR test within 48 hours of arrival. Ten countries across southern Africa have also been added to the government's red list as a result. These include South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho, Eswatini, Angola, Mozambique and Zambia. The only people allowed to enter the UK from these countries are UK or Irish nationals, or UK residents. They will have to pay for and self-isolate in a pre-booked government-approved hotel for 10 days. Rates are: 10 days (11-nights) for one adult - £2,285 Additional adult (or child over 11) - £1,430 Children aged five to 11 - £325 Airline bosses have had a mixed response to the expansion of the UK's red list. In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Virgin Atlantic chief executive Shai Weiss said that the swift introduction of curbs on travel following the identification of the Omicron variant was "the wrong thing to do." EasyJet boss Johan Lundgren, however, told the BBC on Tuesday that he was supportive of the move, but said that "there's a question mark around the blanket PCR testing" for infection. "It's not obvious to me that if you're travelling in from a country… that doesn't have any reported cases of the Omicron, that you should assume that you should have to take an expensive PCR test," he said. 'Unable to book a quarantine hotel' Sarah Brierly from Winchester in Hampshire says she is "worried, stressed and exhausted" because of the rule change. She, her husband James and their three children flew in to Cape Town on Friday. It was only on landing that they learned South Africa had been placed on the red list. The UK had temporarily suspended flights, so they couldn't just turn around and head back home. They realised getting back to the UK would involve spending thousands of pounds to quarantine. But the main problem turned out to be the availability. "We were unable to book a quarantine hotel. It's impossible to book online for a family of five, and there is no availability until 6 December according to [the helpline]". "We have still not received any response to our application for quarantine exemption, based on the fact that we did not choose to travel to a red list country." On Wednesday, direct flights resumed into the UK from South Africa. Keen to get back to school and work as soon as they could, the Brierly family boarded their British Airways flight to London Heathrow on Wednesday, despite having no quarantine facility booked for when they reach England. Sarah came up with a solution to avoid wasting further time: Catch a connection from London to Heathrow to France and self-isolate there. But, they're still not sure where they will stay. "We hope and pray we can go to Paris and get a cheap Airbnb to wait out our 10 days, allowing the children to resume some remote learning," Sarah says. France requires vaccinated people coming in from South Africa who are aged 12 or above, to show proof they have been jabbed. The Department of Health and Social Care says it's rapidly expanding hotel quarantine capacity. It has advised passengers who are unable to book to check back regularly or try and book for a different arrival date.

In brief: Following Qualcomm's announcement of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which many thought would be called the Snapdragon 898, we now know who will be the first phone company to use the SoC in one of its devices. Once again, it's Xiaomi. Xiaomi has long been the first to feature Qualcomm's latest flagship mobile chip in its phones, and that continues with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. It will appear in the Chinese company's Xiaomi 12 range—it no longer uses the Mi brand. According to Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun, the device will be arriving "soon." Rumors point to a release before the year is out, with a reveal possibly taking place on December 16. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is based on ARM's new ARMv9 architecture and is manufactured on Samsung's 4nm process node. It uses the Cortex-X2, Cortex-A710, and Cortex-A510 in a big, middle, and little setup (1+3+4). The chip features a new Adreno GPU (currently unnamed but may be called the Adreno 730) that is up to 60% more performant in Vulkan than the Snapdragon 888. It also boasts Qualcomm's new X65 5G modem that can deliver a theoretical 10 Gbps over 5G networks, along with an 18-bit triple ISP. Qualcomm's bottom line is that the new Snapdragon offers 20% faster CPU performance, 30% more power-efficient CPU, 30% GPU performance improvements, and 25% GPU-related power savings compared to its predecessor. As for the Xiaomi 12, it's rumored to feature three camera sensors, including one 50MP Samsung ISOCELL GN1/Sony IMX700, reports Notebook Check, and will utilize the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1's always-on functionality so the selfie cam can double as a biometric authenticator.

Sometimes, software is just like us. It can be bloated, slow, and messy. Humans might see a doctor if these symptoms persist (maybe not for messiness), but rarely do we push a flawed software program to go see its developer time and time again. The answer to why our software is flawed is ensnared in a web of reliance on flashy hardware, limits of a "code-and-fix" approach, and inadequate design. MIT Professor Daniel Jackson, who is the associate director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), looked at the existing limitations to create a new framework to improve how our programs function. His theory of software design takes a human-centered approach that views an app as a collection of interacting concepts. "The Essence of Software," Jackson's new book, draws on his many years of software research, including designing Alloy, an open source language and analyzer for software modeling. Q: Bugs. Security flaws. Design flaws. Has software always been bad? A: Software is actually better than it ever was. It's just that the power and functionality of software has grown so rapidly that we haven't always been able to keep up. And there are some software products (Apple Keynote, for example) that are close to perfect—easy to use, flexible, with almost no bugs. My book offers an approach that will empower everyone to make software that good. Q: In your new book, "The Essence of Software," you introduce a theory of software design that demonstrates how a software system "can be viewed as a collection of interacting concepts." How does this overturn conventional wisdom? A: First, conventional wisdom sees user experience primarily in the user interface—its layout, colors, labels, etc. Concept design goes deeper, to address the fundamental mechanisms that the programmer builds and the user experiences. Second, most apps have large areas of overlapping functionality, but existing approaches don't recognize that, and developers build the same pieces of functionality again and again as if they were new, without taking advantage of the fact they've been built many times before. Just think about how many social media apps have implemented up-voting or comments or favorites, for example. Concepts let you identify these reuse opportunities and take advantage of accumulated design wisdom. Q: The year 2021 was one of the worst years for data breaches. Boeing 787s have to be rebooted every 51 minutes to prevent "several potentially catastrophic failure scenarios." Can your approach help with these kinds of security and safety issues? A: A high proportion of security and safety issues come from a lack of clarity in the design. Concepts can help with that. More directly, concepts can ensure that users actually understand the effects of their actions, and we know that many disasters happen because users do the wrong thing. In the area of security, getting the user to do the wrong thing (such as granting access to someone who shouldn't have access) is usually the easiest path to taking control of a system. So, if you can design an app to make it harder for users to do things they'll regret, you can mitigate this problem.

In the wake of the success that Intel is enjoying with its new Alder Lake processors, all eyes are on AMD to see how it will respond. We might not have to wait too much longer to find out, as a recent post by previously reliable leaker Enthusiastic Citizen (via Wccftech) claims that we could see Zen 4 ‘Raphael’ chips by Q3 2022. Not a great deal is known about the microarchitecture, but we do know that it will be manufactured with a 5nm process, use a new AM5 socket type, and support PCIe Gen5. In terms of performance, rumours suggest Zen 4 will outperform Zen 3 by as much as 40%, which could make these new Ryzen processors among the best gaming CPUs of 2022. Unfortunately, it looks like you’ll need to grab a new motherboard and some DDR5 gaming RAM if you plan to use these new Ryzen CPUs, as Enthusiastic Citizen states that they won’t support DDR4, unlike Alder Lake. It’s worth noting that this release date would see these AMD chips go toe-to-toe with Intel’s 13th generation CPUs, codenamed Raptor Lake, rather than act as a direct response to Alder Lake. Instead, it appears that AMD is expecting its upcoming Zen 3 processors with 3D V-Cache technology to hold the line, which we should hopefully hear more about at CES 2022. Enthusiastic Citizen also claims that AMD will release new processors based on the older Zen 2 microarchitecture, which will be “roughly the same specifications as a Ryzen 4000G” but will not feature an integrated GPU. However, it’s not yet known when they will be released. Get involved in the conversation by heading over to our Facebook and Instagram pages.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-59474965 More than 100 former Afghan security forces have been killed by the Taliban or have disappeared since the militants seized control, according to a new report by Human Rights Watch. The rights group said an amnesty promised by Taliban's leadership had not prevented local commanders from targeting former soldiers and police. HRW accused the leadership of "condoning" the "deliberate" killings. A Taliban spokesman recently denied any revenge killings were taking place. The group seized control of Afghanistan in August as the US withdrew its last troops after 20 years of war, deposing the government of Ashraf Ghani. The Taliban assured former government staff that they would be safe under a general amnesty towards those who had worked for the police, army, or other branches of the state. But many doubted the substance of the amnesty. The Taliban have a long history of killing members of the security forces and civil society figures. The group is widely held responsible for a ruthless and bloody campaign of assassinations in the 18 months between early 2020 and their takeover of the country in August. The victims included judges, journalists and peace activists. Analysts say that campaign was designed to eliminate potential critics ahead of a return to power and instil fear in those left alive. According to the HRW report, published on Tuesday, the targeted killings have continued under the Taliban administration, with more than 100 people being killed or having disappeared across four provinces - Ghazni, Helmand, Kunduz, and Kandahar. The charity said the Taliban had directed members of surrendering security forces units to register to receive a letter guaranteeing their safety, but instead used the information to detain and execute or "disappear" individuals within days of their registration. The Taliban have also used employment records left behind by the former government to identify people for arrest and execution, HRW said. "The Taliban leadership's promised amnesty has not stopped local commanders from summarily executing or disappearing former Afghan security force members," said Patricia Gossman, associate Asia director at the charity. "The burden is on the Taliban to prevent further killings, hold those responsible to account, and compensate the victims' families," she said. The Taliban Prime Minister, Mohammed Hassan Akhund, denied in a public address on Saturday that any retaliation was taking place. When the Taliban took over, "they announced amnesty for all. Has there been any example of this?" he said, referring to retaliation. "There is no problem for anyone."

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-59480099 The emergence of Omicron raises the uncertainty around inflation, the chair of the Federal Reserve has warned. Rising rates of Covid, plus the new variant, pose new risks to the US economy, Jerome Powell told a Congressional committee. In the past Mr Powell has called recent high rates of inflation transitory, a term he said should now be "retired". He also said the Fed should consider tapering its bond-buying stimulus more quickly. During the course of the pandemic the Federal Reserve has been praised for warding off recession with its asset purchasing programme. This month it began the process of reducing that support, the first step towards increasing the cost of borrowing, the usual policy strategy to tame inflation. However a debate has arisen over whether the support should be withdrawn more rapidly. US prices rising at fastest rate for three decades Some economists argue that faster tapering, and an earlier move to higher interest rates, are needed to tackle prices which are rising at their fastest pace for 30 years. Mr Powell has argued that higher prices are the result of pandemic disruption, including to supply chains, and swings in consumer demand. He predicted inflation would fade as the pandemic eased. However, the emergence of Omicron has shaken global markets, raising the prospect that restrictions on travel, social and economic activity could be extended further. 'Greater concerns' "The recent rise in Covid-19 cases and the emergence of the Omicron variant pose downside risks to employment and economic activity and increased uncertainty for inflation," Mr Powell told the Senate banking committee. "Greater concerns about the virus could reduce people's willingness to work in person, which would slow progress in the labour market and intensify supply-chain disruptions," he added. When asked about his view of whether inflation could still be described as transitory, Mr Powell said: "It is probably a good time to retire that word, and explain more clearly what we mean." He said he believed that high inflation would persist until the middle of next year, and so the central bank is "likely" to discuss speeding up the tapering of its asset-buying programme. The markets have interpreted the statements as a change of tone from the Federal Reserve chair, indicating a shift towards a tighter monetary policy. "We've long maintained that the Fed is the ultimate owner of the 'transitory' characterisation and the chair's decision to move beyond that is a decidedly hawkish step," said Ian Lyngen at BMO Capital Markets.
