## Federal judge blasts DeSantis administration for threats against TV stations

Authored by cnn.com

That’s what a federal judge wrote Thursday as he sided with local TV stations in an extraordinary dispute over a pro-abortion rights television ad.

In the 30-second ad, a brain cancer survivor named Caroline says the state law would have prevented her from receiving a life-saving abortion.

John Wilson, the health department’s general counsel, sent cease-and-desist letters to multiple television stations airing the ad.

The judge’s order, which is valid through October 29, effectively bars Ladapo from intimidating local stations for airing the Amendment 4 ad.

The state’s health department continues to assert that the abortion rights ad “unequivocally false and detrimental to public health in Florida.”

The health department’s threats were so chilling that WINK, a CBS affiliate, pulled the ad from its broadcasts, Florida Politics reported.

Other stations have continued to air the ad, some as recently as Thursday evening, according to the TVEyes video search service. »

“At present and most likely in the foreseeable future, Kazakhstan will refrain from submitting an application to BRICS,” the Kazakh president’s spokesperson, Berik Uali, said in an interview with local news on Wednesday.

Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that BRICS does not replace the U.N., on the contrary, “it complements, rather than contradicting, its international nature.”.

Therefore, of course, Kazakhstan itself makes decisions on the format of its participation in certain organizations,” said Peskov. »
