Quick Glance: Gun Manufacturers Seek US Supreme Court Appeal in Mexico's Lawsuit

U.S. gun manufacturers are urging the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their challenge against Mexico's $10 billion lawsuit, accusing them of facilitating the trafficking of firearms to violent drug cartels along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Eight companies, including Smith & Wesson Brands and Sturm, Ruger & Co, argued that a lower court wrongly determined that the case qualified for an exception to a U.S. law providing broad protection to the firearms industry from misuse lawsuits.

The companies argued that without the U.S. Supreme Court's intervention, the U.S. firearms industry would face years of costly litigation by a 'foreign sovereign' attempting to push the industry into adopting gun control measures rejected by American voters.

In its 2021 lawsuit, Mexico alleged that the companies undermined its strict gun laws by designing, marketing, and distributing military-style assault weapons they knew would arm drug cartels, resulting in murders, extortions, and kidnappings in the country.

On Thursday, the re-arrest of Peter Murrell, the husband of Nicola Sturgeon, took place as part of the police investigation into the SNP’s finances.

Murrell, aged 59, was apprehended and underwent interrogation by detectives.

The arrest occurred slightly more than a year subsequent to the search conducted by Police Scotland officers at the couple’s residence, where a blue tent was set up outside the property, alongside searches at the SNP’s headquarters in Edinburgh.

In April 2024, Peter Murrell was charged with 'embezzlement' of funds from the SNP.

India's Biocon developing its own version of Wegovy, clinical trial likely next year

reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/indias-biocon-developing-its-own-version-wegovy-clinical-trial-likely-next-year-2024-04-18/

Quick Glance: Biocon Developing Own Version of Wegovy, Plans Clinical Trial

Indian pharmaceutical company Biocon is working on developing its own version of Novo Nordisk's popular Wegovy and is likely to conduct a clinical trial next year to enter the growing weight-loss drug market.

Biocon's CEO, Siddharth Mittal, has expressed the company's intention to develop semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy, for the Indian market, even if it requires a clinical trial.

Biocon aims to introduce generic versions of weight-loss drugs in emerging markets such as Brazil, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia before the patent for semaglutide expires in those countries in 2026.

The company is striving to obtain a waiver on clinical trials from Indian regulators and submit bioequivalence studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of their version of semaglutide. Biocon is making significant investments in generics research and development, including peptides for weight-loss drugs.

Columbia University President Nemat Minouche Shafik authorized New York police to clear a protest encampment set up by students demonstrating against Israel's actions in Gaza. Over 100 protesters were arrested.

Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests

Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

Ram Navami 2024: Sunlight brightens up Lord Ram’s forehead in ‘Surya Tilak’ ceremony in Ayodhya

financialexpress.com/india-news/ram-navami-2024-sunlight-illuminates-lord-ram-forehead-surya-tilak-in-ayodhya/3459711/

Quick Glance: Historic Event: Fusion of Science and Celebration at Ram Lalla's Surya Tilak

The Surya Tilak ceremony for Ram Lalla at Ayodhya's Ram Mandir was a remarkable event that signified a significant turn after 500 years. Followers gathered to witness the event on the auspicious day of Ram Navami as the temple doors opened early in the morning. The Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust extended the darshan period, stressing that no special arrangements were made for the day.

During the Surya Abhishek or Surya Tilak ceremony, the sun's rays delicately touched the forehead of Ram Lalla. This remarkable occurrence was enabled by a sophisticated mechanism involving mirrors and lenses, symbolizing deep reverence. Developed by researchers from IIT-Roorkee, the device precisely directed sunlight onto the deity at noon, showcasing precision and devotion.

At the Ram Navami festival, followers could engage in darshan from the early hours of the morning, commencing with the Shringaar Aarti of Ram Lalla at 5 a.m. Offerings were presented at the temple exit after the Shayan Aarti. Emphasis was placed on securely storing belongings outside the temple premises to facilitate the darshan process.

Ram Janmabhoomi is celebrating a grand event for the second time after the pran pratishtha ceremony. Ram Navami is being celebrated with grandeur at Ram Mandir, featuring offerings of 56 types of bhog, prasad, and panjiri. Chief priest Acharya Satyendra Das affirmed that all arrangements for the celebration are overseen by the Trust, with Ram Navami being joyously commemorated.

Democrats clear path to bring proposed repeal of Arizona’s near-total abortion ban to a vote

orlandosentinel.com/2024/04/17/democrats-clear-path-to-bring-proposed-repeal-of-arizonas-near-total-abortion-ban-to-a-vote/

Quick Glance: Arizona Republicans foil another effort to repeal 1864 abortion ban

Arizona House Republicans once again thwarted an attempt on Wednesday to repeal the state's nearly complete abortion ban from 1864, leaving Democrats without a vote on their repeal bill for the second consecutive week.

Despite facing pressure from influential conservatives, such as former President Trump and Senate hopeful Kari Lake, urging GOP leaders to lift the ban, the Republicans blocked the repeal.

State House Democrats made a procedural maneuver to attempt to suspend House rules and bring the repeal bill to the floor for discussion. However, this action was rejected by the GOP majority, with only one Republican, Representative Matt Gress, crossing party lines to support bringing up the repeal bill.

A similar endeavor to repeal the ban was obstructed by Republicans last week. Following persistent criticism of the law by Democrats both within and outside the state throughout the week, prominent figures like Trump and Lake recognized the political risks and advocated for a change in direction within the Legislature.

apnews.com/article/idaho-transgender-affirming-care-supreme-court-f21e62b9ef8b06ed4ecd301bc4531dfd

Quick Glance: Idaho Can Enforce Ban on Gender-Affirming Care

The Supreme Court is allowing Idaho to enforce its ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth while ongoing legal battles persist, overturning previous court decisions.

A court decision enables the state of Idaho to implement a 2023 law that imposes significant penalties on physicians for providing gender-affirming care to individuals under 18 years old.

The court's three liberal judges would have chosen to suspend the law.

This action comes as the justices may soon deliberate on whether to address bans in Kentucky and Tennessee enforced amid legal disputes.

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.

Supreme Court gives skeptical eye to key statute used to prosecute Jan. 6 rioters

npr.org/2024/04/16/1245143434/supreme-court-january-6-arguments-fischer

Quick Glance: Justices Question Obstruction Charge Against Jan. 6 Rioter

The Supreme Court is considering whether Jan. 6 rioters can be charged with obstructing an official proceeding, potentially impacting Trump's election interference case.

During Tuesday's hearing, justices expressed concerns about the Justice Department's use of the obstruction statute to prosecute those involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

A potential consequence of a ruling in favor of Fischer could affect Trump, although this outcome is not definitive. Prosecutors in Trump's case have emphasized that even if Fischer succeeds, Trump's actions would still be governed by a more restrictive interpretation of the law.

The provision was enacted in 2002 as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, passed after the Enron accounting scandal. Both Fischer and Trump argue that the obstruction law does not apply to their alleged conduct, meaning the charges should be dropped.

Quick Glance: Devastating Fire Strikes Copenhagen's Old Stock Exchange

A blaze engulfed Copenhagen’s historic former stock exchange in Denmark’s capital on Tuesday, with the spire being consumed by flames and collapsing.

The fire spread across multiple floors of the monument, leading to the collapse of its roof, as reported by local fire department chief Jakob Vedsted Andersen.

The tower, standing at 184 feet, featured a distinctive design resembling four intertwined dragons’ tails, symbolizing protection against enemies and fire, as indicated by tourism websites.

Deputy Prime Minister Troels Lund Poulsen referred to the incident as Denmark’s unique moment akin to Notre Dame, alluding to the 2019 fire in the roof of the Parisian landmark.
