As for Israel’s response to Iran, the region - and the world - has been on tenterhooks since Tuesday.

The mixed results came as the Republican Party made widespread gains in contests across the US, propelling Donald Trump to a decisive victory.Voters had been asked to weigh in on questions about abortion access in 10 states in this election - the first major presidential contest since the US Supreme Court struck down a national right to the procedure two years ago.

The state-level fights were an effort by abortion rights campaigners to claw back or preserve access to practice, after many states barred or imposed restrictions on abortion following the ruling.Democrats had also hoped the issue would help galvanise voters to their side this election, crediting anger over the issue with helping the party to a better-than-expected performance in midterm elections in 2022.Vice-President Kamala Harris leaned into the issue throughout her campaign, appealing to women across party lines.

But that momentum did not appear consistently this year, as exit polls suggested abortion ranked below topics such as the economy and democracy.In Missouri, which backed Donald Trump decisively, abortion rights campaigners still notched a major victory, as voters approved an amendment intended to overturn a near-total abortion ban in the state.

In Arizona, another state Trump is leading, more than 60% of voters backed an amendment to protect the right to abortion until the point of viability - roughly 24 weeks. The measure extends access from the current 15 weeks currently allowed under state rules.

More specific targets on particular species and habitats will follow, it says.The latest stocktake of Wales' wildlife in 2023 revealed what conservationists branded as nature loss on a "devastating scale", with one in six species at risk of disappearing.
