Quick Glance: Police Investigation into SNP Finances: Key Updates

On Thursday, the re-arrest of Peter Murrell, the husband of Nicola Sturgeon, took place as part of the police investigation into the SNP’s finances.

Murrell, aged 59, was apprehended and underwent interrogation by detectives.

The arrest occurred slightly more than a year subsequent to the search conducted by Police Scotland officers at the couple’s residence, where a blue tent was set up outside the property, alongside searches at the SNP’s headquarters in Edinburgh.

Witnesses noted the little girl's unawareness of the film crew and 'SVU' veteran Ice-T during the incident.

Since the inception of the 'Law and Order' spin-off series in 1999, Hargitay has portrayed the role of Benson, significantly impacting the show.

X/Twitter will charge new users to post, Elon Musk says: Making users pay is only way to stop bots taking over platform

Quick Glance: Musk Plans Fee for New X Users

Elon Musk intends to charge new users of X in the initial months to curb the activity of automated bot accounts.

The fee is set to be waived after three months to allow free posting.

Tests in New Zealand and the Philippines raised skepticism about the effectiveness of the fee as a countermeasure against bots.

Declining revenues at X post-rebranding and Twitter acquisition, along with a negative brand perception by companies, are impacting the service's business.

Copenhagen stunned by devastating stock exchange fire, as police launch probe into blaze

Quick Glance: Devastating Fire Strikes Copenhagen's Old Stock Exchange

A blaze engulfed Copenhagen’s historic former stock exchange in Denmark’s capital on Tuesday, with the spire being consumed by flames and collapsing.

The fire spread across multiple floors of the monument, leading to the collapse of its roof, as reported by local fire department chief Jakob Vedsted Andersen.

The tower, standing at 184 feet, featured a distinctive design resembling four intertwined dragons’ tails, symbolizing protection against enemies and fire, as indicated by tourism websites.

Deputy Prime Minister Troels Lund Poulsen referred to the incident as Denmark’s unique moment akin to Notre Dame, alluding to the 2019 fire in the roof of the Parisian landmark.

Inflation in New Zealand Eases But Near-Term Rate Cuts Unlikely: New Zealand’s consumer prices rose by less than expected in the first three months of this year ...

Quick Glance: Powell Warns of Lack of Progress on Inflation

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the U.S. economy, while otherwise strong, has not seen a return of inflation to the central bank's target.

Powell mentioned that the current policy should remain in place as inflation has not declined quickly enough and there has been no further progress towards the 2% goal.

Since July 2023, the Fed has maintained its benchmark interest rate in a target range between 5.25% and 5.5%, the result of 11 consecutive rate hikes.

Financial markets have had to adjust their expectations for rate cuts this year as inflation has been higher than expected, and the Fed's policy continues to be dependent on data.
