Quick Glance: GOP's Financial Woes Resolved?
- After positive fundraising headlines for Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee (RNC), it seems the campaign is back on track, but the expenses for success were immense.
- While the Trump-RNC Joint Fundraising Committee, 'Trump 47 Victory', raised millions of dollars, only a fraction of it went towards political activities, exacerbating the financial crisis of the RNC.
- In comparison, the Biden-DNC committee, 'Biden Victory', was able to more effectively redirect funds and financially support Democratic parties in the states.
- A decision by the Federal Election Commission allowed the RNC to use funds from their 'legal' account for campaign advertising, temporarily easing the party's financial crisis but with long-term implications for both parties.

Quick Glance: South Korean Court Deliberates Children's Climate Change Lawsuit Against Government
- Environmental activist Choi Jia, alongside her younger sibling Choi Heewoo, participates in a press briefing preceding the initial hearing concerning petitions asserting that the government infringed upon their human rights due to an inadequate approach to climate change.
- A public hearing regarding a lawsuit brought by twenty-four young environmental activists against the government commenced in one of South Korea's top judicial bodies on Tuesday. The plaintiffs argue that the government's negligence in addressing climate change left them unprotected.
- Maintaining that South Korea's current climate strategies fall short in containing the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, the plaintiffs claim this breaches the state's duty to safeguard fundamental rights. Scientists caution about the dire consequences of surpassing a 1.5C temperature increase.
- During the legal proceedings, the government asserted its commitment to minimizing carbon emissions and upholding its citizens' basic rights. Nevertheless, activists expressed dissatisfaction with the government's response and urged for more concrete actions against climate change.
