Quick Glance: Taiwan Rejects China's Aid Offer After Earthquake

Taiwanese authorities have not yet estimated the cost of recovering from the massive, deadly earthquake that hit the island on Wednesday.

China offered aid, but Taiwan swiftly turned it down due to their conflict-ridden relationship.

Taiwan's quick rejection likely stems from lingering bitterness over how the 1999 earthquake was handled.

China's aid always comes with conditions, leading to Taiwan's resistance based on distrust and military threats.

Quick Glance: Global Deployment of Rapid Tests to Combat Cholera

The arrival of cholera rapid diagnostic tests in Malawi marks the beginning of a global program distributing over 1.2 million tests to 14 high-risk countries in the coming months.

The global cholera rapid diagnostic test procurement program is coordinated by Gavi, WHO, UNICEF, FIND, and other partners to enhance outbreak surveillance and support future prevention efforts.

The program's long-term sustainability relies on successful fundraising for Gavi's strategic period from 2026 to 2030.

The partnership aims to strengthen cholera surveillance for early outbreak detection, targeted interventions, and program evaluation.

Rep. Turner confident FISA bill will pass: ‘This is not a warrantless surveillance of Americans’

thehill.com/homenews/house/4579696-rep-turner-confident-fisa-bill-will-pass-this-is-not-a-warrantless-surveillance-of-americans/

Quick Glance: GOP Rep. Turner: Accusations of Russian Propaganda Spread Among Republicans

The congressman stated that it is 'absolutely true' that Russia's anti-Ukraine messaging has 'infected' his party's base.

Mike Turner, a Republican representative, accused some of his colleagues of spreading Russian propaganda 'on the House floor' amid Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

Turner's comments align with an earlier assertion by another Republican and chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Michael McCaul, who mentioned that Russian propaganda has infiltrated the United States and affected a significant portion of his party's base.

McCaul attributed the dissemination of Russian propaganda to conservative media outlets, including 'nighttime entertainment shows' that echo talking points used by Russian state media.
