Morning Filter: Shiv Sena meet today

1. Maharashtra crisis | Shiv Sena national executive meeting today As Shiv Sena president and Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray struggles to retain control of his government and the party, a national executive meeting of the Sena will be held today which is likely to pass a resolution reposing faith in the leadership of Mr. Thackeray. The rebellion against the tripartite Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government led by the Sena’s second-in-command Eknath Shinde threatens to capture not only the government but also the party and the Thackerays are now fighting on two fronts. 2. JMM calls on lawmakers to decide on Presidential elections Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) has called a meeting of its parliamentarians and legislators today to discuss the upcoming presidential election and decide on extending support to a candidate, a party office-bearer said. 3. Roe vs Wade | Head of WHO concerned over the ruling, abortion bans go into effect in multiple states The head of the World Health Organization says he’s “concerned and disappointed” about the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe vs Wade. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus wrote on Twitter that the ruling was “both reducing women’s rights and access to health care.” Abortions have either been “paused” or completely banned in Alabama, Utah, Ohio, Arkansas, Texas, West Virginia on Friday morning. On the other hand, the Democratic governors of California, Washington and Oregon on Friday vowed to protect reproductive rights and help women who travel to the West Coast seeking abortions. 4. Biden to sign gun safety bill today The House sent President Joe Biden the widest-ranging gun violence bill Congress has passed in decades on Friday, a measured compromise that at once illustrates progress on the long-intractable issue and the deep-seated partisan divide that persists. The Democratic-led chamber approved the election-year legislation on a mostly party-line 234-193 vote, capping a spurt of action prompted by voters’ revulsion over last month’s mass shootings in New York and Texas. The Senate approved the measure late Thursday by a bipartisan 65-33 margin. The White House said Biden would sign the bill and deliver remarks on it on Saturday morning. 5. Union Health Minister to inaugurate International School of Public Health in JIPMER today Union Health, Family Welfare, Chemicals and Fertilisers Minister Mansukh Mandaviya will be on a day’s visit to Puducherry today to inaugurate the International School of Public Health (ISPH) at the centrally-administered Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) in Puducherry. 6. Coast Guard monitoring chance of pollution from sunken vessel To achieve sustained operations, a specialised pollution control vessel, ICGS Samudra Pavak, has sailed from Porbandar. It will arrive in Mangaluru this morning. 7. Indian women face USA in three-nation U23 football event The Indian women’s football team will look to beef up its attack when it takes on the USA in the second match of the three-nation U23 tournament at Laröds IP, Sweden today. 8. India beat Singapore 3-0 in volleyball tourney The Indian team’s next match is against Uzbekistan today. 9. Archery World Cup Stage 3 | Compound mixed pair make final, confirm second medal for India The Indian duo will face fifth seed France in the compound mixed team final today. 10. India eye improved top-order show in 2nd T20I against Sri Lanka Eyeing a series-clinching victory, the Indian women’s cricket team would expect a better showing from its top-order when it takes on Sri Lanka in the second T20 International, in Dambulla today.
