Will decriminalisation change abortion for women in Mexico?
Mexico's Supreme Court has decriminalised abortion across the country.
The new ruling legalises abortion across all 32 states. Mexico's Supreme Court said the denial of the possibility of a termination violated the human rights of women.
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Mundo's Beatriz de la Pava talks us through what abortion laws are like across Latin America and explains how this rule-change might need a cultural shift for it to have significant impact.
Also, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Mimi Swaby is with aid crews in the Moroccan Atlas Mountains - the area most affected by Friday's earthquake. She explains why the government hasn't accepted aid from all countries that have offered it.
