Quick Glance: Joe Lieberman, Former US Senator and Vice Presidential Candidate, Passes Away at 82
- Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman from Connecticut, who came close to winning the vice presidency on the Democratic ticket with Al Gore in the disputed 2000 election and nearly became running mate to Republican John McCain eight years later, has passed away.
- Lieberman passed away in New York City as a result of complications following a fall.
- His advocacy for issues such as gay rights, civil rights, abortion rights, and environmental causes often earned him praise from many liberals, despite causing discontent among Democrats due to his independent stance and provocations towards Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama during the 2008 campaign.
- Renowned for his firm foreign policy perspectives, pro-defense inclinations, and robust support for environmental matters, Lieberman was instrumental in the legislative efforts leading to the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security.

Quick Glance: Biden reinstates protections for threatened species
- The Biden administration restored rules on Thursday to protect imperiled plants and animals that had been rolled back under former President Donald Trump.
- The new rules include protections for species newly classified as threatened without considering economic impacts.
- The proposed rules faced significant opposition from Republicans who argued that Biden's administration favored conservation over development.
- Industry groups have long seen the 1973 Endangered Species Act as an impediment, leading to weaken environmental safeguards under the Trump administration.

pbs.org/newshour/world/un-weather-agency-issues-red-alert-on-climate-change-after-record-heat-ice-melt-increases-in-2023
Quick Glance: UN Issues Climate Change Warning After Record Heat and Ice Melt
- The UN weather agency is raising the alarm about climate change, warning that global efforts to reverse the trend have been inadequate.

Quick Glance: Turkish Intelligence Eliminates Top PKK Figure in Sulaymaniyah
- Rojda Bilen, codenamed "Bişeng Brüsk," was eliminated in an operation by Turkey's National Intelligence Organization (MIT) in Sulaymaniyah, Iraq. Bilen was a high-ranking member of the PKK and headed all female terrorists in the group's so-called "youth branch."
- The PKK finds support in Sulaymaniyah through a local political party in northern Iraq, posing a risk of the terrorist group's violent campaigns spilling over to the region.
- The PKK seeks to legitimize its presence in rural areas of Sulaymaniyah by intimidating the local population, setting up "checkpoints," and engaging in extortion. This hinders infrastructure improvements and local farmers' access to their lands.
- In Sulaymaniyah governed by the PUK, the PKK runs rampant with terrorism campaigns, including arson attacks on offices of opposing political parties, public buildings, and fields. The PUK's collaboration with the PKK extends to building a strategic connection with the YPG, the terrorist group's Syrian wing.
