October 18, 2022: Russia targets Ukraine’s power and water, Kentucky abortion vote, Biden, Truss apology, Somalia
1. Ukraine said Russia had destroyed almost a third of its power stations over the past week as Moscow stepped up a pre-winter campaign to strike infrastructure, a move the West says is a calculated attempt to disrupt and demoralize.
2. An abortion rights vote in Kentucky on Nov. 8 will determine if the conservative state becomes Kansas 2.0.
3. U.S. President Joe Biden, under renewed pressure over high inflation with key elections coming up fast, will seek to turn attention back to the issue of abortion rights in a speech.
4. Prime Minister Liz Truss apologized for threatening Britain's economic stability after she was forced to scrap her vast tax-cutting plans and embark on a program of "eye-watering" public spending cuts instead.
5. One child is being admitted for medical treatment for malnutrition every minute in Somalia as severe drought threatens to cause the deaths of children on a scale not seen in half a century, a spokesperson for UNICEF said.
