npr.org/2024/04/11/1244007539/biden-guns-background-check-rule
Quick Glance: Biden Administration Implements Stricter Background Checks for Gun Dealers
- A new rule by the Biden administration will require thousands of gun dealers to conduct background checks on buyers to close a legal loophole.
- President Biden emphasizes that the measure aims to keep guns away from domestic abusers and felons to save lives.
- The law mandates that sellers primarily engaged in selling firearms for profit must be federally licensed and perform checks.
- Despite praise from advocates, the regulation is likely to face legal challenges from gun rights activists, concerned about potential infringements.

Quick Glance: FDP and SPD Reach Agreement on Key Issues
- SPD and FDP have reached compromises on key issues, including the extension of the rent control measure until 2029 and the 'Quick-Freeze' data storage procedure.
- Despite additional desired changes in rental law, no specific agreements have been made, raising concerns about the housing market.
- The 'Quick-Freeze' data storage procedure is implemented in cases of suspicion of serious crimes, marking a departure from indiscriminate mass data storage and receiving positive reactions.
- The next steps involve drafting proposals in the Federal Ministry of Justice for data storage and the extension of the rent control measure, which are likely to be approved by the cabinet simultaneously.

Quick Glance: Justice Dept. refuses to provide Biden-Hur audio recordings to House committee
- Justice Department officials informed House Republicans that they do not plan to give audio recordings of President Biden's interviews with the special counsel investigating his handling of classified documents.
- The decision was made as lawmakers already possess transcripts of the interviews, indicating that the request may be more about politics than seeking genuine information.
- Special counsel Hur found evidence that Biden retained classified government materials after leaving the vice presidency, but concluded that there was insufficient proof to pursue criminal charges.
- Republican lawmakers have threatened to hold the Attorney General in contempt if the recordings are not handed over, raising concerns about potential implications on future investigations.

China is subsidising global fentanyl supply, says report by US congressional panel
scmp.com/news/china/article/3259253/china-subsidising-global-fentanyl-supply-says-report-us-congressional-panel
Quick Glance: China's Subsidization of Fentanyl Production Intensifying Crisis in the U.S.
- A report from a special House committee states that China is fueling the Fentanyl crisis in the U.S. directly by subsidizing the manufacturing of materials used by traffickers outside the country to produce the drug.
- The committee found that the Chinese government provides tax rebates for the production of specific Fentanyl precursors and other synthetic drugs as long as they are sold outside of China.
- The report highlights that China not only subsidizes the manufacturing of precursor chemicals but also thwarts investigations into illegal manufacturers by warning the targets when formal requests for assistance are made by U.S. law enforcement.
- Former Attorney General William Barr recommended that the U.S. should leverage its trade and economic power to push for stronger enforcement from Chinese authorities, and victims should take civil actions against companies and individuals involved in distributing the precursors and synthetic drugs.

Ireland’s ‘TikTok Taoiseach’ vows new social contract: 37-year old Simon Harris becomes island’s youngest prime minister
ft.com/content/7383b4fd-ec6e-4162-a081-6f77e9d77a6b
Quick Glance: Simon Harris Becomes Ireland's Youngest Prime Minister
- Simon Harris has been officially sworn in as Ireland's youngest prime minister, succeeding Leo Varadkar who abruptly stepped down last month. Harris, 37, took the helm of the ruling Fine Gael party but faces challenges as the party trails behind Sinn Fein in polls.
- A rapid riser in Ireland's political hierarchy, Harris has made a name for himself as Health Minister and most recently as Minister for Higher Education and Science. His political identity as a young politician has been marked by both supporters and critics, particularly standing out with younger voters and on social media platforms like TikTok.
- Varadkar's government grappled with challenges such as housing crisis and increasing immigration numbers. Harris inherits a tough political landscape, especially with upcoming elections until March 2025. The political landscape in Ireland has shifted, with Sinn Fein emerging as a rising political force, leading to a shift in the traditional party landscape.
- While Harris sees the idea of a potential reunification of Ireland as a legitimate aspiration, his focus remains on current challenges like housing crisis, rising cost of living, and immigration. Despite political changes and discussions about potential reunification, Ireland's future remains uncertain and complex.
