Quick Glance: Support for South Africa's ANC around 40% before elections
- An Ipsos poll revealed that support for South Africa's governing African National Congress (ANC) has dropped to just over 40%, weeks before an election that could bring about significant political change.
- While the ANC is still expected to secure the most votes on May 29, falling below 50% would require seeking coalition partners to govern, marking the first such alliance since Nelson Mandela led the party to power 30 years ago.
- The survey was based on face-to-face interviews with 2,545 registered voters across all nine provinces in March and April, boasting a margin of error of 1.9% at a 95% confidence level.
- The poll also highlighted rising voter discontent due to issues like unemployment, corruption, crime, and poor services, with the ANC considering potential coalition partners such as the economically liberal DA and the far-left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).

Quick Glance: Trump's Supreme Court Immunity Arguments
- An attorney for Donald Trump pleaded for absolute presidential immunity before the Supreme Court due to Trump's numerous criminal indictments.
- Trump's desire for absolute immunity is self-serving and absurd, given his involvement in multiple criminal matters.
- The need for a decision on a president's immunity highlights the susceptibility of many Americans to a con artist like Trump.
- The demand for immunity in light of Trump's current legal issues underscores the danger posed by a president who considers himself above the law.

nbcnews.com/news/us-news/biden-administration-delays-plans-ban-menthol-cigarettes-rcna149602
Quick Glance: Biden administration faces delays in menthol cigarettes ban
- The planned implementation of a ban on menthol cigarettes in the US is expected to take 'significantly more time,' according to US Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra in a statement on Friday.
- In April 2022, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initially announced the ban on the popular mint flavor, setting a deadline for August 2023. Final rules were sent to the White House Office of Management and Budget for review in October, with the status listed as 'pending.'
- According to the proposed FDA regulations, the manufacturing and sale of menthols would be prohibited, without direct regulation of smokers themselves.
- A prohibition on menthol cigarettes could potentially save up to 650,000 lives over the next 40 years, with a third of these lives being saved within the black community, as stated by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

Quick Glance: Ecuadorean President Noboa seeks support for security measures in upcoming vote
- Ecuador's President Daniel Noboa is aiming for voter support for a range of security measures in a national referendum on Sunday to address the increasing violence that has garnered international attention.
- Noboa is urging voters to support joint police-military patrols, the extradition of wanted criminals, longer sentences for terrorism and murder, and other crimes to combat the rising violence attributed to drug gangs.
- Opinion polls suggest that voters are likely to support Noboa, 36, in the 11-question referendum, despite potential dampening of support due to recent power outages. Passing five of the measures would lead to constitutional modifications.
- Over the past decade, cocaine-smuggling gangs have spread across every corner of Latin America, transforming once peaceful nations like Ecuador into new battlefields, as indicated by security officials and diplomats.

US reimposes sanctions on Venezuela as Maduro continues opposition crackdown
go.france24.com/QqJ
Quick Glance: US to Reinstate Sanctions on Venezuela’s Oil and Gas Sector
- The United States will reimpose sanctions on Venezuela’s oil and gas sector due to the Maduro government's failure to allow 'an inclusive and competitive election' to take place.
- The US government decided not to renew the temporary authorization (General License 44) that allowed transactions with Venezuela's national oil and gas sector without fear of sanctions, citing the Maduro government's failure to uphold key areas of the 'Barbados Agreement.'
- While the impact of revoking the authorization could not be quantified, another authorization from 2022 allowing the oil company Chevron to resume limited resource extraction operations in Venezuela will remain in place.
- Despite reinstating sanctions, a US official emphasized that this should not be seen as a final decision on Venezuela's electoral capabilities, and efforts to support a better future for the country will continue.

Quick Glance: Surprising Victory for the Opposition in Turkey's Local Elections
- The Republican People's Party achieved significant success in Sunday's vote by expanding its presence in key cities such as Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir, and capturing strongholds of the AKP in the Black Sea region and Anatolia.
- The historic victory was unequivocal. Just under a year after the reappointment of Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Justice and Development Party to lead the country, the presidential majority suffered a painful defeat in the municipal elections on March 31.
- The CHP movement has emerged as the leading political force in the country, surpassing the AKP by nearly two points with 37.5% of the vote. This achievement is particularly impressive as the CHP had struggled to surpass 25% for the past two decades.
- Expanding its successes to other regions, the CHP managed to overthrow power centers in the Black Sea region and central Anatolia. Even in the town of Adiyaman, long governed by the AKP and heavily impacted by the 2023 earthquake, the CHP candidate took a significant lead in the polls.
