What the reports sayEach newsroom’s own summary of its report, from its feed

BUDAPEST, Nov 12 - Hungary's government will ease access to emergency contraception and roll back a controversial abortion rule as part of a broader package of women's rights reforms, Prime Minister Peter Magyar said on Thursday.
The measures also include stronger protections for victims of abuse
The reforms mark a break the the conservative policies of former PM Viktor Orban. The controversial "heartbeat regulation" is to be scrapped and women are to be better protected against violence.
