Quick Glance: Greta Thunberg protests against fossil fuels in the Netherlands

The demonstration was specifically targeted against the subsidies for fossil fuels in the Netherlands.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg was detained twice by police at a demonstration in the Netherlands, after she and a group of marchers blocked a main road to protest against these subsidies.

Hundreds of protesters marched from The Hague’s city center to the nearby A12 arterial highway that connects the Dutch government's seat with other cities like Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Utrecht.

Organized by the Extinction Rebellion (XR) environmental group, the demonstration was part of efforts to pressure the Dutch government ahead of another planned debate on subsidies for fossil fuels in June.

The New York Judge in the Stormy Daniels Case Is Not Interested in Donald Trump’s Delay Tactics

Quick Glance: Judge Denies Trump's Request to Delay Hush-Money Trial

Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan rejected Donald Trump's request to postpone his hush-money criminal trial until the Supreme Court rules on presidential immunity claims in another case.

Trump's lawyers sought to adjourn the New York trial indefinitely until his immunity claim in the Washington, D.C., election interference case is resolved.

The primary allegation in the hush-money case is that Trump falsified his company's internal records to conceal payments to his former lawyer Michael Cohen.

Trump and his lawyers have been pushing for more delays, raising concerns about the judge's impartiality and attempting to make the case about the 2016 election, while prosecutors argue against postponing the trial.

Late Capitol Police Officer's Family Slams Trump Attending NYPD Funeral: Trump attended a wake for Jonathan Diller, who was killed in the line of duty on Monday ...

Quick Glance: Significant Funds Raised for Family of Slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller

A substantial amount of money has been collected so far for the family of slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller, a wave of generosity from the general population to billionaires who are shocked by the tragedy - and tired of a faulty criminal justice system and anti-political politicians.

Among the major donors are Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, who pledged to adjust the impressive $750,000 raised for Diller's one-year-old son Ryan and his widow Stephanie through the online store of his website - totaling $1.5 million.

The Silver Shield Foundation stated that they received well over 100 contributions in a single day to support Diller's family.

Despite his severe injury, Diller managed to grab Rivera's weapon after it fell to the ground. The officer's partner fired two shots, at least one of which hit Rivera in the back, according to the police.
