Israeli Supreme Court strikes blow to Netanyahu's judicial changes
In an 8 to 7 vote, Israel's highest court on Monday ruled against a law that would limit its powers.

And, we remember Peter Magubane, who shot photos in Soweto and across South Africa during apartheid and its unraveling. He eventually became Nelson Mandela's official photographer. Also, Kyiv was again targeted Tuesday morning by Russian missiles. We hear about the civilian toll and Ukraine's response. Plus, a Palestinian American uses music to connect to family.Our hearts are full. Thank you to everyone who stepped up to support The World during our fall fundraising drive.
