Simon Harris becomes Ireland's youngest prime minister at 37
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.

‘Wagner Group operative’ charged over arson in London
Quick Glance: Accusation: Leicestershire man recruited as Russian spy
  • An individual from Leicestershire is accused of playing a role as a Russian spy in an arson attack on a business with ties to Ukraine. It is also alleged that Dylan Earl is a member of a banned terror group.

  • Among the five individuals charged in connection with the incident is Earl, residing in Elmesthorpe near Hinckley. According to the prosecution, Earl is said to have organized and funded the attack for the benefit of the Russian state.

  • Prosecutors claim that Earl, 20, conducted "fraudulent activities, research, and reconnaissance of targets," and attempted to "recruit individuals" to assist a foreign intelligence service. Court documents suggest that Earl is connected to the banned terrorist group, the Wagner Group.

  • Earl was first arrested on Wednesday, April 10, and is among the first individuals to be charged under the new National Security Act 2023. The Leicestershire man was charged by Counter Terrorism officers on Friday, April 19, with aggravated arson, preparatory conduct, and aiding a foreign intelligence service. He has been remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear at the Old Bailey on Friday, May 10, alongside the other four men.
