Protesters fill the street in front of the Supreme Court after the courts decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in Washington, June 24, 2022. Public opinion on abortion is nuanced, but polling shows broad support for Roe and for abortion rights.

Majorities of Americans say they disagree with the Supreme Courts decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, think it was politically motivated, are concerned the court will now reconsider rulings that protect other rights, and are more likely to vote for a candidate this fall who would restore the right to an abortion, according to the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll.

Still, a majority opposes expanding the number of justices who could sit on the Supreme Court.

In overturning Roe on Friday, the Supreme Court reversed 50 years of precedent that had made abortion a right in this country. The right to regulate abortion now is in states hands, and about half the states have already moved to severely curtail access to an abortion or ban the procedure outright.

The issue is personal to most Americans. Two-thirds of people responding to the poll say they or someone they know has had an abortion. That was true of three-quarters of independents, 7-in-10 Democrats and 55% of Republicans.

Surveys have for years shown consistently that most Americans wanted to keep Roe in place and to see restrictions on when abortions could take place. What the court did is clearly outside the mainstream of public opinion, and that is reflected again in the NPR poll.

The survey of 941 respondents, conducted Friday after the decision through Saturday, has a margin of error of +/-4.9 percentage points.

By a 56%-to-40% margin, respondents oppose the courts decision, including 45% who strongly oppose it.

Almost 9-in-10 Democrats and a slim majority of independents (53%) are against the decision. Three-quarters of Republicans, on the other hand, support it.

There is a massive split by education 69% of college graduates oppose the decision while those without degrees are split. Half of whites without degrees support the decision, while two-thirds of whites with college degrees oppose it.

A majority of men and women are against the decision, though a slightly higher percentage of women oppose it (59% vs. 54%).

Along racial lines, 60% of non-whites and 54% of whites oppose the decision. (There were too few people surveyed to break out individual racial groups any further without margins of error getting too high.)

By a 57%-to-36% margin, respondents said the decision was mostly based on politics as opposed to the law. And by a 56%-to-41% margin are concerned that the overturning of Roe will be used by the Supreme Court to reconsider past rulings that protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage.

Just 39% said they have a great deal or quite a lot of confidence in the Supreme Court; 58% said they have not very much or no confidence at all in the institution. Thats a low in the poll.

But few want to change the size of the court in the wake of the decision. Only a third of respondents said they were in favor of expanding the Supreme Court; 54% percent said they oppose that move.

Sixty-two percent of Democrats said they are in favor of doing so, but 57% of independents and nearly 9-in-10 Republicans were opposed.

This issue presents volatility into the 2022 midterms, because 78% of Democrats say the courts decision makes them more likely to vote this fall, 24 points higher than Republicans.

A bare majority of 51% say they would definitely vote for a candidate who would support a federal law to restore the right to an abortion, while 36% would definitely vote against such a candidate.

That could be a shot in the arm for Democrats if they mobilize around this issue, though Republicans are still favored at this point to take back the House this fall because of high inflation and gas prices.

Democrats have regained the favor of voters to control Congress, with 48% saying they are more likely to vote for a Democratic candidate in the fall and 41% more likely to vote for a Republican. In April, Republicans led on that question in the poll 47% to 44%, which was within the margin of error. However, the lead for Democrats may not translate into maintaining control due to the way voters are geographically distributed and how boundaries of congressional districts are drawn.

President Biden gets a 40% approval rating, while 53% disapprove of the job he is doing.

The Mental Health Acts significant provisions, which provide patients greater control over their care and treatment, will benefit those who are imprisoned under the act by increasing access to care in the community, such as through crisis houses and safe havens.

A three-year, 150 million investment will strengthen NHS mental health services, improve crisis help outside of A&E, and raise patient safety in mental health facilities.

All of these suggestions came from Professor Sir Simon Wesselys impartial assessment of the Mental Health Act and will now be put into practice to enhance patient treatment.

The investment includes 7 million for specialized mental health ambulances around the nation to cut down on general ambulance call outs for those having a mental health crisis and avoid the inadvertent use of police cars to transport people to the hospital.

This will relieve burden on services, enhance response times and outcomes for those in need, perhaps saving lives, and guaranteeing that patients going through a crisis are handled with respect and dignity.

Additionally, the government today released its draft Mental Health Bill, which proposes extensive changes to the Mental Health Act in order to give people more autonomy and choice during a mental health crisis.

Additionally, they will work to address the racial gaps in access to mental health care, better serve the needs of those with learning disabilities and autism, and guarantee that those with significant mental illnesses receive the proper care within the criminal justice system.

Currently, a parliamentary select committee will thoroughly review the draft bill as part of pre-legislative review before the government releases a final version.

Sajid Javid, secretary of health and social services, said:

Supporting those who are struggling with severe mental health concerns at this time is important.

Were spending more money to make sure NHS patients receive specialized services and support, ensuring that those who have a mental health emergency receive the best care possible at the appropriate moment.

Another significant step toward better assisting people with serious mental health disorders and providing people more control over their care are our amendments to the antiquated Mental Health Act, especially for those from racial and ethnic minorities who are disproportionately imprisoned under the Act.

The money will also help local governments invest in crisis houses run by the nonprofit sector so that people can get the therapy they need close to home as an alternative to being admitted to the hospital for a mental health crisis.

Reducing unnecessary hospital admissions and ineffective out-of-area hospital placements will result from expanding local capacity.

Because patients in crisis will be able to obtain specialized care in setting that are suitable, there will be an improvement in patient outcomes and a decrease in the likelihood of readmission to the hospital.

Hospital beds will be freed up if patients are given the proper care right away, supporting the governments ongoing effort to clear the Covid backlogs.

Gillian Keegan, the minister for mental health, said:

The NHSs mental health care and treatment must be effective for people.

I have personally witnessed the distress that patients and their families experience when they receive poor care.

If someone is detained under the Act, improving the mental health care services accessible to them in times of need will guarantee that the patients are at the center of decisions for their own treatment.

So that we can update the Act and make it relevant to todays society, I am forward to hear the committees comments on the draft Bill.

Claire Murdoch, director of the NHS Mental Health, stated:

This is an important and much-needed step toward the reform of the Mental Health Act, and I am looking forward to working with the government to create a strategy for putting these improvements into action.

This much-needed funding will modernize facilities and, more importantly, guarantee that patients with mental health conditions have access to the best and most appropriate care when they need it.

The NHS Long Term Plan is expanding and improving mental health services across the country, including opening new buildings and renovating older ones.

The Mental Health Act should be revised to address long-standing health inequalities, ensure that everyone is treated with respect and dignity, and permanently remove the stigma associated with mental illness.

Included in this is the disproportionately high number of members of black, Asian, and other ethnic minority communities who are held in detention under the Mental Health Act.

Over four times as many black persons are imprisoned under the act, and over ten times as many are given a community treatment order.

Improved culturally sensitive advocacy services are currently being tested in four English regions so that people from ethnic minority backgrounds can receive better support from those who understand their needs.

NHS England is also developing a Patient and Carer Race Equalities Framework to give mental health trusts concrete steps to improve the experience of care for people from ethnic minority communities within mental health services.

By stating that neither a learning disability nor autism should be taken into account as justifications for someone being detained for treatment under Section 3 of the Act, the amendments would also alter how people with learning disabilities and autistic people are regarded in the law.

Learning disabled or autistic individuals could only be kept in a facility for treatment if a mental health condition was detected by clinicians.

Serious mental illness patients in the criminal justice system will also benefit from change. The outdated practice of using prisons as places of safety for defendants with acute mental illness will come to an end with a 28-day time limit, which will hasten the transfer of prisoners to hospitals, put an end to needless delays, and ensure they receive the proper care at the appropriate time.

Judges will instead collaborate with medical experts to guarantee that defendants can always be transported straight from court to a healthcare facility.

Victoria Atkins, the minister of prisons, said:

In order to keep the public safe and reduce crime, it is crucial that persons involved in the criminal justice system receive the proper mental health care.

The new Mental Health Bill will hasten access to care, solidify crucial safeguards for the weak, and make sure jails are not exploited as a substitute for hospital care.

Additionally, measures will be taken to guarantee equity between the services provided for physical and mental health.

As part of its reaction to Sir Simons suggestions, the government has already committed more than 400 million to the elimination of dorms in mental health facilities, enabling patients to receive care in a contemporary and genuinely therapeutic setting.

The government is also investing an additional 2.3 billion annually to expand and transform mental health services in England, which will enable 2 million more people to access mental health services by 20232024.

These efforts are being made in order to satisfy the growing demand for these services.

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has launched an Automatic Smart Grid Restoration System, the first of its kind in the MENA region, to increase the control, management, and monitoring of its power network. The system works around the clock without any human intervention. It uses a smart, innovative, and central system that locates the fault in the power network, isolates it, and automatically restores the service. This improves grid automation, fault detection and retrieval of connections. It also supports DEWAs efforts to maintain supplies according to the highest standards of reliability, accountability, and efficiency.

HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, stressed that DEWA spares no effort to increase the capacity, efficiency, and readiness of electricity networks in Dubai. This will meet the future needs of customers, developers and the business sector, by using the latest tools and the best smart and digital technologies. This is part of DEWAs efforts to digitally transform all its operations and services.

We work in line with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to provide a state-of-the-art integrated infrastructure for electricity and water to meet growing demand and keep pace with sustainable development needs in Dubai. The Smart Grid is an integral part of DEWAs strategy to develop state-of-the-art infrastructure for managing facilities and services using disruptive technologies and Fourth Industrial Revolution applications. DEWAs Smart Grid programme with investments totaling AED 7 billion, aligns with the directives of His Highness to make Dubai the smartest and happiest city in the world. It also supports the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Emissions Strategy 2050 to provide 100% of the energy production capacity from clean energy sources by 2050.

DEWAs adoption of the latest international technologies in power generation, transmission and distribution, has made it one of the best utilities worldwide. In 2021, DEWA achieved a new world record in electricity Customer Minutes Lost (CML) per year. Dubai recorded 1.43 minutes per customer, compared to around 15 minutes by leading utility companies in the European Union. This highlights DEWAs ability to restore power during faults or unplanned outages. The percentage of losses in the electricity transmission and distribution networks in Dubai was 3.3%, compared to 6-7 % in Europe and the US, said Al Tayer.

Hussain Lootah, Executive Vice President of Transmission Power at DEWA, said that the Smart Grid is a reinvention of how energy is transmitted, distributed and measured. It is becoming the new standard for utilities and consumers. Grid automation is one of the main governance themes that ensure the smooth, quick, and effective functioning of DEWAs Smart Grid. Lootah noted that the total value of DEWAs investments in electricity transmission projects between 2021 and 2024 is AED 10 billion. This includes AED 2 billion for 400 kV transmission projects and AED 8 billion for 132 kV projects.

23 June 2022: Australian consumers remain wary of online surveillance in their digital interactions with brands their demands for greater transparency, and control over use of their personal information, and what is being personalised to them online, is greater than ever.

The 2022 edition of the Deloitte Australian Privacy Index finds that providing transparency, assurance and control can go some way to alleviating consumers concerns.

Key results from Deloittes eighth annual assessment of consumer views on privacy, and the privacy practices of leading Australian consumer brands, include:

Deloitte National Privacy and Data Protection Lead Partner, Daniella Kafouris, said Consumers have gone about surviving the last two years defined by COVID, but theyve shared more personal data than ever before with governments and businesses in exchange for various freedoms and access to products and services.

Working, learning, buying and even entertaining from home and online has significantly shifted the dial in positive and perhaps not-so-positive ways from consumers benefiting from greater personalisation in their digital experiences, to genuine concerns about how their data is used.

What is clear is that a disconnect remains between consumer expectations and how brands collect and use personal data. As a result, there needs to be a better balance between consumers finding personalisation helpful and what could be considered over-reaching.

Many can see value in profiling and personalisation delivered by tracking and advertising technologies, but its also not for everyone. Generally, people under 35 see more value in tailored advertising and services compared to those over 35. As we looked through older age brackets, we found that increasingly more consumers perceive personalised experiences as crossing what we call a creepy line that hinders the customer experience and, by extension, a brands ability to build trust and engage with them.

Brands certainly need to take their customers on a transparency journey throughout the customer experience, rather than relying on legal documents like their privacy policy, to builds trust before things get creepy and, ultimately, counter-productive and even damaging.

The report outlines five key actions brands can take to improve their performance across data, transparency and personalisation:
