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.

Quick Glance: Trump Narrows Gap with Young Voters, Biden's Lead Shrinks - Survey Results

A new poll shows that former President Donald Trump continues to reduce his deficit with young voters compared to President Joe Biden.

In the Harvard Youth Poll released on Thursday, Biden leads among 18- to 29-year-olds with 45 percent compared to 37 percent for Trump, while 16 percent are undecided.

Biden holds a significant lead among likely voters who are non-white or female. He outperforms Trump by 47 points among college graduates and by 23 points among students.

The survey also indicates that Trump's younger supporters are much more enthusiastic about the former president than their peers who support Biden, and that Biden's approval rating among young adults is only at 31 percent.

Quick Glance: Joe Biden Calls for Significant Increase in Tariffs on Chinese Steel

US President Joe Biden is pushing for an increase in tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminium to strengthen union support in the swing state of Pennsylvania.

During a meeting with United Steelworkers union members in Pittsburgh, Biden calls on trade representative Katherine Tai to raise the tariffs from the current average of 7.5 percent.

The main focus of the measures is to combat China's new export surge and the ongoing price pressure that makes it difficult for American steel companies to compete.

The Biden administration's decision to increase tariffs is expected to impact recent efforts by Washington and Beijing to stabilize relations.

Vietnamese property tycoon sentenced to death over $12bn fraud: State media says Truong My Lan’s crimes eroded public trust in ruling Communist party

ft.com/content/fcca4a8f-2de2-479f-b242-786f1bd2d512

Quick Glance: Death Sentence for Real Estate Tycoon in Vietnam's Largest Fraud Case

Truong My Lan, a prominent businesswoman and real estate tycoon, was sentenced to death in Vietnam's largest financial fraud case, marking a shocking development in the country's escalating anti-corruption campaign.

Born in 1956, Lan founded the Van Thinh Phat company with her family in 1992, which grew to become one of Vietnam's richest real estate firms linked to some of Ho Chi Minh's most valuable properties.

She was accused of using the bank as her cash cow, illegally controlling it between 2012 and 2022, and using thousands of 'ghost companies' in Vietnam and abroad to give loans to herself and her allies.

Her arrest in October 2022 falls within a period of increased anti-corruption efforts in Vietnam ramping up since 2022, impacting the country's economic outlook and unsettling foreign investors.

Quick Glance: Simon Harris Becomes Ireland's Youngest Prime Minister

Simon Harris has been officially sworn in as Ireland's youngest prime minister, succeeding Leo Varadkar who abruptly stepped down last month. Harris, 37, took the helm of the ruling Fine Gael party but faces challenges as the party trails behind Sinn Fein in polls.

A rapid riser in Ireland's political hierarchy, Harris has made a name for himself as Health Minister and most recently as Minister for Higher Education and Science. His political identity as a young politician has been marked by both supporters and critics, particularly standing out with younger voters and on social media platforms like TikTok.

Varadkar's government grappled with challenges such as housing crisis and increasing immigration numbers. Harris inherits a tough political landscape, especially with upcoming elections until March 2025. The political landscape in Ireland has shifted, with Sinn Fein emerging as a rising political force, leading to a shift in the traditional party landscape.

While Harris sees the idea of a potential reunification of Ireland as a legitimate aspiration, his focus remains on current challenges like housing crisis, rising cost of living, and immigration. Despite political changes and discussions about potential reunification, Ireland's future remains uncertain and complex.

Quick Glance: China's Subsidization of Fentanyl Production Intensifying Crisis in the U.S.

A report from a special House committee states that China is fueling the Fentanyl crisis in the U.S. directly by subsidizing the manufacturing of materials used by traffickers outside the country to produce the drug.

The committee found that the Chinese government provides tax rebates for the production of specific Fentanyl precursors and other synthetic drugs as long as they are sold outside of China.

The report highlights that China not only subsidizes the manufacturing of precursor chemicals but also thwarts investigations into illegal manufacturers by warning the targets when formal requests for assistance are made by U.S. law enforcement.

Former Attorney General William Barr recommended that the U.S. should leverage its trade and economic power to push for stronger enforcement from Chinese authorities, and victims should take civil actions against companies and individuals involved in distributing the precursors and synthetic drugs.
