Quick Glance: Increase in UK defence spending by 2030

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak commits to raising spending to 2.5% of GDP, putting the defence industry on a 'war footing'.

Sunak emphasized the need for deeper stockpiles of munitions and quicker replenishment due to the events in the Ukraine conflict.

The planned increase in defence spending would require significant financial reshuffling, partly through announced measures to reduce the size of the civil service.

Shortly after announcing the pledge to send weapons worth 500 million pounds to Ukraine, this commitment followed.

Quick Glance: Poland 'Ready' to Host Nuclear Weapons: President

Poland is prepared to host nuclear weapons if NATO decides to deploy them due to Russia's militarization in Belarus and Kaliningrad, President Andrzej Duda stated in a recent interview.

Being a NATO member and a strong supporter of Ukraine, Poland shares a border with both Russia's Kaliningrad exclave and Belarus, Moscow's ally.

He emphasized that discussions regarding nuclear cooperation between Poland and the United States have been ongoing for a considerable period.

During the latest NATO summit in Vilnius, the allies committed to taking all necessary measures to ensure the credibility, effectiveness, safety, and security of the nuclear deterrent mission.

Quick Glance: Russia Strikes Chernihiv: 18 Dead, Ukraine Appeals for Air Defense

At least 18 people were killed and over 60 wounded in Chernihiv due to Russian missile strikes. Ukrainian officials emphasized that the attack could have been prevented with adequate air defense systems.

Russia launched three Iskander cruise missiles at the city, located near the Russian border and previously encircled by Russian troops.

Ukraine currently has three Patriot air defense systems but requires 26 for full coverage. Following appeals for more systems, Germany pledged to send an additional one.

A $60 billion aid package for Ukraine is stalled in the US Congress, allowing Russia to exploit ammunition and air defense shortages and gain ground in the east.

'I'm happy to debate him': US President Joe Biden said that he would participate in a debate with Donald Trump, his Republican opponent in November's election

Quick Glance: Fact Check: Biden Repeats Claim of Arrest for Defending Civil Rights. Still No Evidence

President Joe Biden reiterated his story of allegedly trying to defend the civil rights of Black Americans on 'The Howard Stern Show.' However, there is no evidence to support his claim of ever being arrested at a civil rights protest, as noted by 'The Washington Post' and 'PolitiFact.'

Biden has told the story of his supposed presence at a specific protest in Delaware at least twice without mentioning an arrest. He stated that the police simply took him home on that day.

It is impossible to prove definitively whether Biden was present at this or a similar protest over 60 years ago. He has also made other false claims about his personal life in the past.

Biden falsely claimed to have 'driven an 18-wheeler' and that he never earned $400,000 in a year. During his 2020 presidential campaign, he claimed to have been 'arrested' as a US senator while trying to visit South African anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela in prison, which turned out to be untrue.

Quick Glance: 11 Republican 'Fake Electors' Charged in Arizona

Eleven Republicans were charged in Arizona for falsely claiming that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election in Arizona against Joe Biden.

They met in Phoenix to sign a certificate declaring Trump had won the state. The document was sent to Congress and the National Archives but ignored.

The Arizona charges follow indictments against fake electors in Nevada, Michigan, and Georgia.

The charges allege conspiracy, fraud, and forgery as they falsely declared Trump as the winner in Arizona despite Biden's victory by over 10,000 votes.

Quick Glance: State Halts Sale of AfD Politician's Book

The state of Baden-Württemberg has halted the sale of a book by AfD politician Maximilian Krah due to a photo of Maulbronn Monastery on the cover.

The state court in Karlsruhe ruled in favor of the state's injunction as images from the monastery were used without permission from the owner.

There is ongoing scrutiny to ensure the book is not being sold. Krah and another AfD politician are under scrutiny for possible ties to pro-Russian networks and espionage.

Krah is the AfD's lead candidate for the European elections, while one of his staff members was arrested for alleged spying for China.

Opinion | This Whole King Trump Thing Is Getting Awfully Literal: The former president’s claim that he has absolute immunity for criminal acts taken in office as ...

nytimes.com/2024/04/26/opinion/trump-immunity-supreme-court.html

Quick Glance: Trump's Disregard for Democratic Principles

Donald Trump's claim of absolute immunity for criminal acts as president is an assault on common sense and a perversion of the fundamental principle of American democracy.

The Supreme Court's decision to take the case may delay the former president's trial and deprive the public of the right to know if he attempted to undermine the sacred process of presidential succession.

The Supreme Court's direct intervention in the 2024 presidential election deprives voters of critical information and could lead to a constitutional crisis if Trump is re-elected and convicted.

The notion that the president is above the law and can pardon himself is a radical contempt for republican government, revealing Trump's vision of unchecked royal power.
