In the United States, a man in Ohio was arrested on Tuesday (July 12) and has been charged with raping a 10-year-old girl, who became pregnant but was denied an abortion under state law. The local media reported Wednesday that the victim crossed state lines to terminate her pregnancy.&nbsp;

The shocking case has received massive media attention from all parts of the country, and even the world as it comes in the wake of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.&nbsp;

Media outlet Indianapolis Star first reported the story and drew international scrutiny.

The Dispatch reports that Fuentes confessed to raping the young girl "on at least two occasions".&nbsp;

The case was so appalling that some people even raised questions. It was even questioned by conservative-leaning media outlets.&nbsp;

But in the latest development, the Ohio police detective Jeffrey Huhn testified in court early Wednesday, confirming that the unidentified girl underwent an abortion in Indianapolis on June 30.&nbsp;

According to the paper, Huhn was testifying at the arraignment of a man arrested Tuesday by police who say he confessed to raping the child.&nbsp;

The Dispatch reported that the DNA samples obtained from the Indiana clinic were being tested against the 27-year-old suspect.&nbsp;

After Russia and Syria, North Korea has formally recognised the two Russian-backed breakaway "people's republics" in eastern Ukraine as independent states, a separatist leader claimed and the North's official news agency reported on Wednesday (July 13).&nbsp;

North Korean state media KCNA reported that the North Korean government sent letters Wednesday to the People's Republic of Donetsk and the People's Republic of Lugansk.&nbsp;

As quoted by the news agencies, Pyongyang said that it "decided to recognise the independence of both the regions". In the letter, it also expressed the will to develop state-to-state relations with those countries.&nbsp;

In an interview aired Wednesday (July 13), United States President Joe Biden said that former President Donald Trump made a "gigantic mistake" withdrawing the US from the Iran nuclear deal.

In an interview aired Wednesday (July 13), United States President Joe Biden said that former President Donald Trump made a "gigantic mistake" withdrawing the US from the Iran nuclear deal. Biden also said that Iran is now closer to acquiring a nuclear weapon. During an interview with Israel's Channel 12 News, Biden said, "The only thing worse than the Iran that exists now is Iran with nuclear weapons." The interview was taped ahead of a four-day trip to Israel and Saudi Arabia. As per Biden, the use of force will be the last resort to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. In the interview, Biden said he would keep Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on the U.S. Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) list even if that killed off the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Biden further slammed the Trump administration's foreign policy. he said, "There are those who thought with the last administration we sort of walked away from the Middle East, that we were going to create a vacuum that China and or Russia would fill, and we can't let that happen." 2015 Nuclear deal In 2015, Iran agreed to a pact with six major powers to limit its nuclear program. The pact made it harder to obtain a weapon in return for relief from economic sanctions. In 2018, then US President Donald Trump reneged on the deal and reimposed harsh sanctions on Iran. Trump's decision led Tehran to start violating the agreement's nuclear limits about a year later. So far, the efforts to resurrect the deal failed. But Iran has taken part in the on-off talks that opened in Vienna in April last year. Also, indirect talks between Tehran and US President Joe Biden's administration have been taking place to reinstate the pact.
