Immigration: The UK's shameful Rwanda law: The 'Safety of Rwanda' bill passed on April 23 represents a terrible step backward for Europe's oldest democracy.

Quick Glance: British Law on Deportation of Asylum Seekers to Rwanda

The new British deportation law aims to curb illegal migration and secure the reelection of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

However, experts doubt the effectiveness of the law in stopping illegal migration to the UK.

Rishi Sunak is under significant pressure due to political challenges in the election year, including inflation and healthcare issues.

The Rwanda law intends to deport migrants without valid papers to Rwanda, although the efficacy of the law is being questioned.

Quick Glance: Increase in UK defence spending by 2030

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak commits to raising spending to 2.5% of GDP, putting the defence industry on a 'war footing'.

Sunak emphasized the need for deeper stockpiles of munitions and quicker replenishment due to the events in the Ukraine conflict.

The planned increase in defence spending would require significant financial reshuffling, partly through announced measures to reduce the size of the civil service.

Shortly after announcing the pledge to send weapons worth 500 million pounds to Ukraine, this commitment followed.

Quick Glance: UK Boosts Defense Spending, Provides $620 Million Military Aid to Ukraine

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced an increase in defense spending to 2.5% of GDP by the end of the decade, along with a pledge to provide Ukraine with new military aid totaling $620 million, including weapons, armored vehicles, and ammunition.

Sunak described the heightened spending as the most significant strengthening of national defense in a generation, emphasizing the need to remain vigilant in the face of current geopolitical threats.

The UK commits to an additional £75 billion in defense spending over the next six years, aiming to raise defense expenditure to 2.5% of GDP, reaffirming a target set by Boris Johnson in 2022.

The announcement followed similar moves by the US, approving $61 billion in aid for Ukraine, signaling an escalated international response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine.

Quick Glance: Europe's Economy Falling Behind: Enrico Letta Urges Action

Former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta suggests using European savings for the green and digital transition, pooling 10% of state aid, and initiating a new recovery plan to help the European economy catch up with the US.

Letta presented his report on the internal market to the EU-27 in Brussels, highlighting that only a minority of companies and citizens in Europe fully benefit from the internal market, leading to the EU lagging behind the US and China.

European companies underutilize economies of scale in sectors like energy, telecoms, and financial markets within the internal market. The market fragmentation hinders growth and competitiveness against global counterparts.

Letta advocates for creating a fifth freedom for research, innovation, and skills within the internal market and updating competition rules in strategic sectors to promote European champions and ensure consumer protection.

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.

Quick Glance: UK on Track to Exit Recession with Rising GDP

Britain's GDP rose by 0.1% in February despite heavy rainfall affecting the construction sector and retail.

Sectors like manufacturing and services experienced growth, while construction saw declines due to bad weather.

Recent months of economic growth suggest the recession may soon come to an end, although pressure from the cost of living crisis and higher prices persists for households and businesses.

Despite the positive growth in 2024, GDP remains below 2023 levels and has been stagnant since early 2022, with real wages continuing to decrease and many facing financial difficulties.

Here’s All the Countries With TikTok Bans as Platform’s Future in U.S. Hangs In Balance

time.com/6971009/tiktok-banned-restrictions-worldwide-countries-united-states-law/

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.

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.

Quick Glance: Liz Truss: From Premiership to Resignation in 49 Days

Liz Truss became Prime Minister and resigned after just 49 days, despite her husband's prediction that 'it would all end in tears'.

Truss assumed office on September 6, 2022, succeeding Boris Johnson, but faced early challenges and personal struggles.

Despite implementing economic measures and facing political turbulence, Truss resigned after a mini-budget led to a pensions crisis.

She reflects on her failed tenure, attributing blame to structural issues and drawing parallels to the controversial football manager Brian Clough.
