The US Supreme Court has refused to block a new law in Texas that bans abortions for most women. The so-called Heartbeat Act bans terminations after the detection of what anti-abortion campaigners call a foetal heartbeat, which is a point when many women do not know they are pregnant. We get reaction to the law.

Also, we go to Afghanistan where the Taliban are fighting with opposition groups and Afghan army remnants in the Panjshir Valley. We speak to people who are from there to learn more about the Panjshir Valley.

And at least 14 people are dead after flash flooding and tornadoes hit the north-east US. We hear from people who have been affected in New York.
