Quick Glance: Rafael Nadal's Exit from 2024 Barcelona, Defeat to Alex de Minaur in Second Round

Quick Glance: Contemplating Prosecution Cessation for Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange

President Joe Biden is contemplating Australia's request to cease the long-standing U.S. effort to prosecute Wikileaks founder Julian Assange for revealing American classified documents.

There is a disparity in the treatment of Assange and Manning, with Obama shortening Manning's sentence while Assange remains under indictment. Supporters of Assange argue he is a journalist protected by the First Amendment who exposed U.S. military misconduct in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Quick Glance: French 'Bollard Man' Granted Permanent Residency After Heroic Act

The French man known as 'bollard man' for bravely confronting Joel Cauchi during a stabbing attack in Bondi Junction will be granted permanent residency by the federal government, as confirmed by his lawyer.

A widely circulated video on social media captured Damien Guerot holding a shopping center bollard to stop the knife-wielding Cauchi, leading to the decision to grant him permanent residency.

His lawyer, Belinda Robinson, mentioned that the official documentation for his permanent residency was expected to arrive soon, following an online petition to recognize his heroic actions.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton commended Mr. Guerot for his extraordinary bravery and willingness to protect others in danger, highlighting his character as an example of the values they cherish.

After an absence of 71 years, the green-tinged Devil Comet returns to Australian skies

theguardian.com/science/2024/apr/19/how-to-see-devil-comet-australia-return-12p-pons-brooks-jupiter

Quick Glance: Return of the 'Devil Comet' after 71 Years

The green, horned 'Devil comet' is now visible in Australian skies, offering a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see a unique celestial body.

The comet, whose nucleus has a 34km diameter, has been likened to Halley's comet due to its molecular structure and was nicknamed 'Devil comet' due to eruptions from its nucleus.

The 'Devil comet,' also known as 12P/Pons-Brooks, becomes more visible as it gets closer to the sun due to its hot icy core and gas trail. It will be at its brightest on 22 April, but finding it might be challenging as it competes with the full moon.

Experts suggest initially spotting the comet with binoculars or a telescope, although it will also be visible to the naked eye. It is considered a piece of history and special due to its brightness.

Quick Glance: Bishop's Premonition and Stabbing Incident

A well-known Sydney bishop, stabbed during a sermon, had been warned of a potential attack on his life in recent weeks.

The attack on Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel, allegedly by a 15-year-old, occurred at the Christ the Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley on Monday night following a sermon where the bishop mentioned that his death was imminent.
