October 26, 2022: New Mexico abortion, Fetterman, Oz face off, Kherson battle, N. Korea nuclear test, China's Xi

1. The new frontline of the U.S. abortion battle is on the remote plains of New Mexico, where two conservative towns are set to outlaw the medical procedure despite it remaining legal in the state after Roe v. Wade was struck down.

2. U.S. Senate candidates Democrat John Fetterman and Republican Mehmet Oz traded attacks on issues from crime to inflation in the lone debate of a Pennsylvania race that will help decide whether Democrats retain control of the Senate.

3. Russia rehearsed its response to a nuclear attack in an exercise that involved nuclear submarines, strategic bombers and ballistic missiles at a time when tensions are high over a "dirty bomb" allegation it has made against Ukraine.

4. The United States, Japan and South Korea warned that an "unparalleled" scale of response would be warranted if North Korea conducts a seventh nuclear bomb test.

5. The three most glaring omissions from China's new Communist Party leadership share one common trait: all rose through its Youth League and were considered members of a once-powerful faction whose influence Xi Jinping has now effectively crushed.
