The Supreme Court on Friday temporarily blocked lower court orders that would have rolled back the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of an abortion pill—preserving access to the medicine for now.

By Wayne Cole SYDNEY (Reuters) -Australia’s central bank is expected to get a new specialist board to manage monetary policy that will give independent expert members more responsibility for setting interest rates, a dilution of the bank’s traditional power over policy. A 272-page review of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) released on Thursday outlined a range of reforms from a more focused policy mandate, to fewer policy meetings and a separate board for the bank’s day-to-day operations. Importantly for market confidence, the RBA’s new Monetary Policy Board (MPB) would retain its independence from government and its flexible inflation target…

Shortly before his exit, Logan Roy, the anti-hero of the HBO drama Succession, rallies the journalist “pirates” at his television news network in New York City. “This is not the end. I’m going to build something better, something faster, lighter, meaner, wilder,” he shouts defiantly. “And I’m going to do it from in here, with you lot.”Fiction perhaps, but it captures nicely the dark energy of Rupert Murdoch, chair of Fox Corporation and the closest real-life model for Roy.
