Quick Glance: Ukraine attacks Russian-occupied areas with long-range missiles from US, officials disclose

Recently, Ukraine has started utilizing long-range ballistic missiles provided secretly by the United States. These missiles were employed to attack a Russian military airfield in Crimea last week and to bombard Russian forces in another occupied area overnight, as reported by American officials on Wednesday.

A senior US military official stated on Wednesday that the White House and military planners thoroughly assessed the risks associated with providing long-range firepower to Ukraine and concluded that the current timing is suitable for their provision.

Quick Glance: Measures Against TikTok: Biden Sets Deadline for Sale

President Biden has signed legislation requiring ByteDance to fully divest from TikTok within a year or potentially face a nationwide ban.

This action poses a significant challenge to the future of the video-streaming app in the U.S. and escalates the technological conflict between America and China.

TikTok plans to take legal action against the Biden administration, citing concerns that the law could impede the free speech of millions of Americans.

This requirement was incorporated into a bill providing foreign aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, mandating ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok within 12 months under the threat of closure.

Quick Glance: Biden signs Comprehensive Military Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan

President Biden announces the signing of a substantial $95 billion military assistance package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with a significant portion of the funds directed towards Ukraine.

Despite initial resistance from Republicans in Congress, Biden has signed the aid package, highlighting the reinforcement of allies and ensuring prompt deliveries to Ukraine.

The assistance for Ukraine includes weapons and military equipment valued at around $1 billion, encompassing artillery shells and air defense missiles.

Military analysts do not foresee significant changes on the frontlines in eastern Ukraine, while the US support aims to aid Ukraine in operations in southern Ukraine, particularly focusing on Crimea and the Black Sea.

apnews.com/article/jobs-employers-noncompete-agreements-economy-pay-4d7b3eb8e143cfd52025c7f2f5259fc4

Quick Glance: US implements ban on worker 'competition agreements' with business groups filing lawsuits

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has approved a framework to eliminate agreements often signed by employees to refrain from joining their employers' competitors or establishing rival businesses.

The ban on noncompete agreements is projected to boost worker earnings by up to $488 billion over the next decade and facilitate the establishment of over 8,500 new businesses annually.

Prominent business associations have criticized the framework and declared legal actions, contending that noncompete agreements assist companies in safeguarding trade secrets and advancing competitiveness.

Unions have endorsed the FTC's vote in favor of the ban, hailing it as a significant triumph for workers that will enhance the national economy by fostering entrepreneurship.
