In South Korea, President Yoon’s Lame Duck Era Officially Begins
Quick Glance: Challenges for South Korea's Yoon After Election Defeat
  • Following his conservative party’s devastating loss in this week's parliamentary elections, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol is facing significant setbacks in expanding the country's role within emerging US-led regional blocs aimed at countering a confident China, according to analysts.

  • Yoon's ruling People Power Party secured 108 seats, trailing far behind the liberal Democratic Party of Korea, which obtained a comfortable majority with 175 seats in the 300-member parliament. Voter participation reached 67 per cent, marking a multi-decade high.

  • Despite these challenges, it is anticipated that Yoon will continue his diplomatic approach and strengthen ties with the US and Japan given North Korea's nuclear threats and China's increasing influence.

  • Some critics have called for a more balanced approach between South Korea's traditional allies and China, accusing Yoon of needlessly provoking the country's primary trading partner and inadvertently pushing Pyongyang further into Beijing's sphere of influence.

Donald Trump’s Trial of the Century
Quick Glance: Trump Faces Landmark Trial Over Hush Money Case
  • Donald Trump will go down in history as the first former president to stand trial in Manhattan on criminal charges. The historic case revolves around a potential sex scandal cover-up just days before the 2016 elections.

  • The prosecution alleges that Trump falsified business records to hide hush money payments aimed at influencing the election outcome. Trump maintains his innocence and refutes any involvement with Stormy Daniels.

  • The trial will feature key witnesses from Trump's inner circle testifying against him, including Michael Cohen and David Pecker. It will delve into the Oval Office, where Trump allegedly approved the cover-up.

  • Prosecutors must prove that Trump falsified business records with intent to commit or conceal another crime. Trump's defense is likely to focus on the legality of the hush money payments and attempt to distance him from the accounting handled by his employees.

Trump’s hush-money trial: key takeaways from opening statements
Quick Glance: Trump Accused of Trying to 'Corrupt' 2016 Election in Hush-Money Trial
  • A prosecutor alleged that Donald Trump tried to illegally influence the 2016 presidential election by preventing damaging stories about his personal life from becoming public.

  • The defense argued that Trump was 'innocent' and attacked the integrity of the former Trump confidant who is now the government's star witness.

  • The opening statements provided the 12-person jury and the public with a roadmap to understand the allegations in the case and Trump's expected defenses.

  • Prosecutors emphasized the gravity of the case by framing it as about election interference and sought to address criticism that the case lacks the grievous allegations present in Trump's other three cases.

  • Trump and the RNC announced that they raised more than $65.6 million last month and entered April with over $91.3 million in cash. The Biden campaign's fundraising arm was also active in March, revealing a $90 million haul for the month and starting the second quarter with $192 million in cash on hand.

  • The first criminal trial of any former president began with extortion, Trump should aim for an acquittal.

  • Charges do not concern misconduct in settling hush money with Daniels, but entering payments to conceal another crime.

  • The burden of proof for criminal intent is high, requiring proof for two layers of specific intent to convict Trump.

  • A legal maneuver could allow Trump to dismiss his defense team and recruit a new team to potentially secure his case.

Trump loses late bid to delay New York hush money trial
Quick Glance: Judge Denies Trump's Request to Delay Hush-Money Trial
  • Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan rejected Donald Trump's request to postpone his hush-money criminal trial until the Supreme Court rules on presidential immunity claims in another case.

  • Trump's lawyers sought to adjourn the New York trial indefinitely until his immunity claim in the Washington, D.C., election interference case is resolved.

  • The primary allegation in the hush-money case is that Trump falsified his company's internal records to conceal payments to his former lawyer Michael Cohen.

  • Trump and his lawyers have been pushing for more delays, raising concerns about the judge's impartiality and attempting to make the case about the 2016 election, while prosecutors argue against postponing the trial.
