Argentina abortion: Referendum 'on the table', government says

 Argentina's middle right government has, out of the blue, said it would think about holding a choice on legitimizing premature birth.

It is "on the table", Bureau Boss Marcos Peña said.

In the interim a bill set forward on Tuesday would enable ladies to end pregnancies amid the initial 14 weeks.

President Mauricio Macri said he was by and by restricted to unwinding the nation's fetus removal laws, yet he would give his Congress partners a free vote.

Fetus removal is a disputable issue in the prevalently Catholic country.

It is just permitted in instances of assault, when the mother's life is regarded to be in danger, or when there is a serious abnormality of the hatchling. Ladies looking for premature births must apply to a judge for authorization, which commentators say can superfluously defer the method.

In excess of 70 Argentine individuals from Congress set forward a bill amid a function went to by many activists.

At the bill's introduction in Buenos Aires, resistance MP Aracelia Ferreyra said change of the Argentine premature birth law was "a point of balance and imbalance".

In a few Latin American nations, premature birth is illicit in any condition.

In August 2017, Chile's protected court affirmed a bill to facilitate the nation's aggregate prohibition on premature births.

Premature births are unlawful in Brazil, with the exception of in wellbeing crises or instances of assault or, since 2012, in instances of anencephaly, where the embryo's cerebrum neglects to develop.

Uruguay, which fringes Argentina, licenses premature births.

A few Roman Catholic nations, including Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Malta, The Vatican and Dominican Republic, have a fetus removal boycott in all conditions.

Ireland, a generally Roman Catholic nation, will hold a submission on whether to change the nation's close aggregate prohibition on premature birth in May 2018.

Two killed in Portugal beach plane crash

A man and a child have been killed after a light aircraft made an emergency landing on a beach in Portugal. Authorities said the incident took place on Sao Joao beach in Caparica, south-west of Lisbon. The National Maritime Authority said a middle-aged man and a young girl died after they were unable to avoid the plane. The plane's only two occupants were unharmed, it added. The Diario de Noticias newspaper quoted an eyewitness who said the plane had been flying at a low altitude over the beach, although he did not realise anything was wrong until other beachgoers began running. One young witness told Reuters news agency: "I was near the water when I saw the plane. I called my parents, the plane fell on the sand and ran over two people, fatally hurting them and another was injured, I think, but I'm not sure, people were running away. "The plane is still there, but the ambulances arrived quickly. I think maybe the fuel ran out because I find it weird that

Plane toilet arsonist on Sharm el-Sheikh flight has sentence doubled

A man who started a fire in a plane toilet has had a jail sentence doubled. John Cox was initially jailed for four years and six months after admitting committing arson during the flight from Birmingham to Sharm el-Sheikh in 2015. But the Court of Appeal agreed with the Attorney General the sentence was unduly lenient and increased it to nine years and six months. The captain on the Monarch Airbus plane issued a mayday call and was set to carry out an emergency landing. Cox, 46, of Coates Road, Kidderminster, had been drinking before and during the flight and smoked a cigarette in the toilet. The plane carrying more than 200 people was 33,000ft (10,668m) in the air and 100 miles (160km) from the Egyptian coast when the captain was told the crew were having difficulty putting out the blaze in a waste paper bin. A passenger who worked for a fire and rescue service helped the crew deal with the blaze so the plane could complete its journey safely. 'Recklessness' T

He will give Congress six months to draw up legislation to replace the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (Daca), sources quoted by US media say. The decision,  first reported in Politico , is considered a compromise amid strong support for the scheme. However, the sources cautioned that Mr Trump could still change his mind. He is due to formally announce his decision on Tuesday. The Obama-era Daca programme protects hundreds of thousands  of so-called "Dreamers"  from deportation and provides work and study permits.
