Protests against the Israel-Hamas war prompt the cancellation of USC's main graduation ceremony and numerous arrests at campuses nationwide.

Universities are grappling with protests that could disrupt upcoming commencement ceremonies and are considering changes to regulations regarding encampments and exams.

Some students demand schools sever ties with Israel, leading to accusations of antisemitism and concerns about safety on campus.

FTC is sued by business groups over its ban on noncompete agreements, which may delay enforcement

cnn.com/2024/04/25/success/ftc-noncompete-ban-lawsuit/

Quick Glance: US implements ban on worker 'competition agreements' with business groups filing lawsuits

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has approved a framework to eliminate agreements often signed by employees to refrain from joining their employers' competitors or establishing rival businesses.

The ban on noncompete agreements is projected to boost worker earnings by up to $488 billion over the next decade and facilitate the establishment of over 8,500 new businesses annually.

Prominent business associations have criticized the framework and declared legal actions, contending that noncompete agreements assist companies in safeguarding trade secrets and advancing competitiveness.

Unions have endorsed the FTC's vote in favor of the ban, hailing it as a significant triumph for workers that will enhance the national economy by fostering entrepreneurship.

Bird Flu and Milk: Can Humans Get H5N1? Safety and Risks Explained: A strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza that’s been decimating wild and captive flocks ...

bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-26/bird-flu-and-milk-can-humans-get-h5n1-safety-and-risks-explained

Quick Glance: Unanswered Inquiries Regarding Advancing Avian Flu in U.S. Cows

The advancing spread of avian flu in U.S. dairy cattle continues to raise numerous questions. Scientists emphasize the minimal risk to humans, but uncertainties persist regarding the dissemination and impact of the virus.

Despite confirming the virus in nine states and over 30 herds, the actual scope of spread remains ambiguous due to insufficient testing.

Researchers express concerns about potential public health implications, the infectivity of the virus in milk, and its transmission. Only one human infection has been officially recorded amid the ongoing outbreak.

Experts hold differing views on the human risks as the virus persists among cows. The mutation possibility poses a potential threat to human health.

Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim

ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

President Biden announces the signing of a substantial $95 billion military assistance package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with a significant portion of the funds directed towards Ukraine.

The assistance for Ukraine includes weapons and military equipment valued at around $1 billion, encompassing artillery shells and air defense missiles.

Military analysts do not foresee significant changes on the frontlines in eastern Ukraine, while the US support aims to aid Ukraine in operations in southern Ukraine, particularly focusing on Crimea and the Black Sea.

Seattle hospital won’t turn over gender-affirming care records in lawsuit settlement with Texas

apnews.com/article/seattle-hospital-texas-records-paxton-e1d308835657c40e2e176d7f11d7f749

Quick Glance: Seattle Children’s to Exit Texas Due to Gender-Affirming Care

Seattle Children’s Hospital will forego its ability to do business in Texas as part of an agreement with the state’s Attorney General to stop inquiries into gender-affirming care for Texas patients.

Last year, Attorney General Ken Paxton attempted to compel Seattle Children’s to turn over information about gender-affirming care that Texas patients may have received at the facility. The hospital sued Paxton, stating that the office doesn’t have jurisdiction over patient records in Washington.

Seattle Children’s will 'voluntarily withdraw its registration to transact business in the State of Texas' by the end of the week. Paxton’s office will rescind its civil investigative demand and its request for a sworn written declaration served to the hospital in November.

Paxton also requested information on patients from Texas who received gender-affirming care services at the Seattle hospital, including diagnoses details, prescribed medications, and other treatment protocols. Additionally, his office asked for similar records from a telehealth clinic in Georgia.

Quick Glance: Trial Judge Evaluates Trump's Compliance with Gag Order

Former President Trump is on trial in New York for hush money issues. David Pecker from 'National Enquirer' testified about an agreement to manipulate stories about Trump and his rivals.

Concerns arose about Trump's violation of the gag order by criticizing court members. Mary McCord explained how the administration of justice can be disrupted by defendants' statements, leading to legal restrictions.

Despite reluctance to detain a former president, fines may be imposed for attacks on witnesses and judicial families. Threats to security and witness testimonies pose serious challenges to the trial's integrity.

Judges emphasize the importance of upholding justice by addressing threats and ensuring the safety of those involved in legal proceedings. The credibility of the trial hinges on maintaining a fair and secure environment.

The United States announced on April 19 a new series of sanctions related to Israeli settlers in the West Bank, signaling growing frustration with Netanyahu's policies, who relies on settler parties for his coalition government.

War Cabinet Minister Benny Gantz, a former Chief of Armed Forces and centrist, mentioned in a statement on April 21 that he had spoken with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, urging him to reconsider the issue.

Blinken mentioned on April 19 that he had made 'determinations' regarding accusations of Israel violating a set of US laws prohibiting military assistance to individuals or security force units committing gross human rights violations.
