Netanyahu too ‘busy’ to talk to Sunak after RAF helped repel Iranian attack: Israeli leader faces domestic pressure to rebuff international calls for restraint

ft.com/content/db147abd-4c1e-48ac-9d07-280ec583c526

Quick Glance: Netanyahu's Busy Schedule Hinders Communication with Sunak Post-RAF Assistance Against Iranian Attack

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not yet managed to engage in a conversation with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak following the assistance provided by Royal Air Force warplanes in defending the Jewish state from an Iranian aerial assault.

Efforts are still underway to arrange a discussion between the two leaders, as Netanyahu is under significant domestic pressure to reject calls from the UK, the US, and the EU for restraint after Iran's attack.

Sunak stated in the House of Commons on Monday that the UK is urgently collaborating with allies to de-escalate the situation and prevent further bloodshed, mentioning that he will communicate with Netanyahu 'shortly'.

With Netanyahu's right-wing coalition partners pushing for substantial retaliation against Iran, Israel's western allies are advocating for caution and restraint to prevent a regional conflict.

Quick Glance: Self-Determination Law: Threat to Women and Children

In Germany, individuals can easily change their registered gender, but at the expense of children and women.

The Self-Determination Law allows gender changes without a medical certificate from the age of 14, even against parental consent.

While the law focuses on minorities, it jeopardizes the reality of the majority, especially children and women.

Women protest the law due to the potential risk of biological men entering protected spaces, while the law also presents other questionable aspects.

apnews.com/article/britain-smoking-ban-0780fd4fc9afcdc002a0544252ef907a

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.

Rishi Sunak 'rejects post-Brexit youth mobility scheme' : Downing St said it wants to make deals with individual EU member states

Quick Glance: EU Proposes Mobility Expansion for UK and EU Youth

The European Commission has proposed opening negotiations with the UK to allow mobility for millions of 18- to 30-year-olds before Brexit.

Under the planned agreement, EU and UK citizens aged between 18 and 30 could have the opportunity to stay in the destination country for an extended period.

The decision by the commission, which was previously strongly against concessions to the UK, is seen as a breakthrough in UK-EU relations.

If approved, millions of young people could come to the UK to fill the gap left by Brexit in the hospitality sector and at universities.

Quick Glance: Cabinet Revolt Looms Over Rishi Sunak's ECHR Exit

According to reports by The Times, Rishi Sunak would face opposition from at least 12 cabinet ministers if he decides to leave the European Convention on Human Rights.

It is understood that Jeremy Hunt, the chancellor, James Cleverly, the home secretary, Alex Chalk, the justice secretary, and Chris Heaton-Harris, the Northern Ireland secretary, are among those against leaving the convention.

Following a significant ruling by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg on Tuesday that governments have a duty to protect people from climate change, there is a growing sentiment among Conservative MPs to withdraw from the ECHR.

Last week, Sunak issued a threat to exit the ECHR if flights to Rwanda are not resumed.

Quick Glance: IMF upgrades global growth forecast despite risks

The International Monetary Fund slightly raised its global growth forecast on Tuesday, noting that the economy had proven 'surprisingly resilient' despite inflationary pressures and monetary policy shifts.

IMF's chief economist, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, indicated that the global economy is heading for a 'soft landing,' with risks to the outlook now broadly balanced.

While advanced economies are expected to lead the growth, dim prospects in China and other major emerging markets could impact global trade partners, according to the report.

Despite Tuesday's brighter outlook, global growth remains low compared to historical standards, partly due to weak productivity growth and increasing geopolitical fragmentation.

Deliveries have been halted, appointments rescheduled and canceled as Tesla investigates acceleration issues. A regulatory investigation looms over the company, potentially requiring a recall of all trucks.

Some drivers have attempted to manually remove the pedal cover, indicating a potentially serious safety issue that cannot be resolved through software.

Quick Glance: US imposes new sanctions on Iran's drone program

The United States imposed new sanctions Thursday on sixteen people and two entities associated with Iran’s drone program to punish Tehran for the weekend's attack on Israel.

The sanctions target executives of an engine manufacturer supplying Iran’s Shahad-131 drones, companies servicing the engines, and individuals providing the drones to Iranian proxy forces in the Middle East.

Coordinated with European allies, the new sanctions aim to disrupt Iran's missile and drone program and isolate the country globally.

President Joe Biden emphasized the US commitment to holding Iran accountable, utilizing economic tools to counter Iran's activities, as stated by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.

Quick Glance: AfD-Russia Money Affair: Party Leadership Backs Bystron

AfD MP Petr Bystron is questioned by the party's federal board regarding allegations of receiving money from the Putin circle. Bystron denies the accusations and receives support from the party leadership.

Bystron is suspected of receiving money in cash in Prague or through cryptocurrencies. The Bundestag administration and the Munich Public Prosecutor's Office are investigating the allegations. Bystron has denied the reports in contradictory wordings.

Despite the accusations, the federal board emphasizes Bystron's innocence and requests evidence. Internal discussions on sanctions do not lead to immediate actions, as the list for the European elections cannot be changed.

While some party colleagues trust Bystron, others find his behavior untrustworthy. Bystron himself feels validated by the support of the federal board and accuses the Czech government of a conspiracy.
