May 3, 2022: Supreme Court could overturn Roe v Wade, Mariupol, Biden, Republicans, Myanmar junta

1. The bombshell draft U.S. Supreme Court decision suggesting the court may overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling legalizing abortion sent Democrats scrambling, with lawmakers and activists looking for some way to head off the sweeping social change.

2. Russia launched an assault on the encircled Azovstal steel works in Mariupol, Ukraine's last redoubt in the port city, after a ceasefire broke down with some 200 civilians trapped underground despite a U.N.-brokered evacuation.

3. President Joe Biden heads to Alabama to visit a Lockheed Martin facility that manufactures the anti-tank Javelin missile, putting the spotlight on a weapon that has helped Ukraine fight Russia's invasion.

4. Donald Trump's influence gets its first big test of the midterm election cycle on Tuesday, when Ohio Republicans pick their candidate for U.S. Senate, kicking off a series of critical nominating contests in the coming weeks.

5. Cambodia's prime minister has urged Myanmar's top general to allow a special Southeast Asian envoy access to ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi, in his strongest call so far for the junta chief to demonstrate commitment to a regional peace process.
