Quick Glance: Paris Olympics Flame Lit in Greek Cradle Amid Weather Challenges
- Despite the absence of Apollo, the flame for the Paris Olympics was ignited at the site of the ancient games in southern Greece on Tuesday.
- A backup flame was used as cloudy skies prevented the traditional lighting, where an actress dressed as an ancient Greek priestess typically uses the sun to ignite a silver torch.
- The flame will be carried by torchbearers from Olympia for over 5000 kilometers through Greece before being handed over to the Paris Games organizers in Athens on April 26.
- The Belem, a French three-masted sailing ship, will transport the Olympic flame from Greece to Marseille, arriving on May 8 after visiting the historic site of Olympia.

- Deputy Prime Minister Troels Lund Poulsen referred to the incident as Denmark’s unique moment akin to Notre Dame, alluding to the 2019 fire in the roof of the Parisian landmark.

Quick Glance: Self-Immolation at Trump Trial in New York
- During the significant legal proceedings against Donald Trump in New York, a man seemingly set himself on fire in front of the Manhattan courthouse on Friday. The incident occurred precisely at the moment when the jury composition was being established in the courtroom.

The verdict is anticipated before the November presidential election, where Trump aims to run against Joe Biden.
- A pivotal aspect of the Trump trial is the selection of the jury to ensure impartiality. Despite expectations of a longer jury selection process, Judge Merchan is determined to expedite the proceedings.
