Quick Glance: Israel's Assault on Gaza: Near Collapse of International Law

Amnesty International warns of the breakdown of international law and global human rights due to government aggression and the rise of big tech.

Israel is criticized for the war on Gaza, targeting civilian populations. The international community is accused of being inactive in holding Benjamin Netanyahu's government accountable.

Amnesty also condemns Russia for the invasion of Ukraine and China for human rights abuses. The organization highlights the growing power of big tech companies and the misuse of AI.

Calls for reforms in the UN Security Council and better regulation of technologies are made. Despite challenges, people globally continue to advocate for human rights and social justice.

Quick Glance: Bitcoin 'Halving' Completed, CoinGecko Reports

Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency, completed its 'halving' on Friday, a phenomenon that occurs roughly every four years according to CoinGecko.

Following the 'halving', Bitcoin remained relatively stable, dropping by 0.47% to $63,747.

The 'halving' was integrated into Bitcoin's code at its inception to reduce the rate of new Bitcoins being created.

Experts are divided on whether the upcoming 'halving' will boost Bitcoin's price, with some viewing it as already factored in, while others remain skeptical.

Quick Glance: UK Lawmakers Support Groundbreaking 'Smoke-Free Generation' Bill

The British government's plan for a landmark smoking ban to prevent young people from ever smoking passed its first hurdle in Parliament despite opposition from within Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party.

The bill, announced by Sunak, would make it illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone born after January 1, 2009, creating one of the toughest anti-smoking measures in the world to establish the 'first smoke-free generation' in modern Britain.

The bill also includes measures to crack down on youth vaping, such as banning the sale of cheap disposable vapes and restricting their flavors to prevent children from becoming addicted to nicotine.

The number of people who smoke in the U.K. has declined by two-thirds since the 1970s, but approximately 6.4 million people in the country still smoke, accounting for about 13% of the population. Smoking remains the number one preventable cause of death, disability, and poor health.
