Quick Glance: The Secret Organization in World War II | Rotten Tomatoes

An action-packed comedy reveals the formation of the first special forces unit in World War II based on secret files and true events.

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Winston Churchill and author Ian Fleming, the secret combat group was established to combat the Nazis using unconventional methods, to change the course of the war, and to lay the groundwork for modern special forces.

The director presents a blend of suspense and spectacle, although some critics criticize the lack of historical details and character development.

Despite criticism of the portrayal as pure Hollywood entertainment, the film is deemed entertaining and action-packed, immersing audiences in a fascinating story.

In the Security Council, 12 countries voted for a UN resolution recommending full Palestinian membership, with the US opposing and two countries abstaining.

The US argued that Palestinian membership should result from negotiations between Israel and Palestinians to enable a two-state solution.

The Palestinian delegation emphasized that UN membership is a crucial step for peace in the region and criticized the Israeli government for its rejection.

Israel rejected the resolution and warned of its potential impact on future dialogues, especially in light of the recent escalation of violence in Gaza.

Quick Glance: Israeli Strike Damages Iranian Air Defense System Without Detection, Officials Say

An Israeli airstrike on Iran on Friday damaged an air defense system, according to Western and Iranian officials, and appeared calculated to deliver a message that Israel could bypass Iran’s defensive systems undetected and paralyze them.

The strike damaged a defensive battery near Natanz, a city in central Iran that is critical to the country’s nuclear weapons program, according to the officials.

The relatively limited scope of Israel’s strike and the muted response from Iranian officials, however, seem to have eased tensions.

It was confirmed that Israel had deployed aerial drones and at least one missile fired from a warplane, as stated by three Western and two Iranian officials.

A revelation from "Cicero" magazine indicates that the decision for Germany's nuclear phase-out was primarily driven by green anti-nuclear activists, sparking harsh criticism towards Economy Minister Robert Habeck.

The Economy Ministry refutes the "Cicero" portrayal, emphasizing that decisions were based on transparent and open-ended evaluations.

The CDU and FDP criticize Habeck, calling for clarification and a reassessment of the nuclear power plant decommissioning.

Quick Glance: Biden administration faces delays in menthol cigarettes ban

The planned implementation of a ban on menthol cigarettes in the US is expected to take 'significantly more time,' according to US Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra in a statement on Friday.

In April 2022, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) initially announced the ban on the popular mint flavor, setting a deadline for August 2023. Final rules were sent to the White House Office of Management and Budget for review in October, with the status listed as 'pending.'

According to the proposed FDA regulations, the manufacturing and sale of menthols would be prohibited, without direct regulation of smokers themselves.

A prohibition on menthol cigarettes could potentially save up to 650,000 lives over the next 40 years, with a third of these lives being saved within the black community, as stated by the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, would prefer to shut down its loss-making app rather than sell it if all legal options to fight legislation to ban the platform from app stores in the US are exhausted, said four sources.

TikTok accounts for a small share of ByteDance’s total revenues and daily active users, so the parent would rather have the app shut down in the US in a worst-case scenario than sell it to a potential American buyer, they said.

ByteDance would not agree to sell one of its most valuable assets – its “secret source” – to rivals, said the four sources, referring to the TikTok algorithm.

After facing challenges regarding bans, the short-form video app has encountered partial and attempted prohibitions in the US and other nations.

North Korea accuses the United States of politically instrumentalizing human rights in the East Asian country, condemning it as political provocation and conspiracy.

Pyongyang criticized Washington for using human rights as a means for invasions and hostile behavior towards North Korea, threatening decisive actions to safeguard its sovereignty and safety.

An annual report by the US State Department this week highlighted 'significant human rights issues' in North Korea, including arbitrary killings, enforced disappearances, torture, and other cruel treatments by government authorities.

Additionally, North Korea criticized the US for urging them to cease missile launches and emphasized the continuation of their space reconnaissance mission to enhance the country's security.

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.

Former President Trump is on trial in New York for hush money issues. David Pecker from 'National Enquirer' testified about an agreement to manipulate stories about Trump and his rivals.

Concerns arose about Trump's violation of the gag order by criticizing court members. Mary McCord explained how the administration of justice can be disrupted by defendants' statements, leading to legal restrictions.

Despite reluctance to detain a former president, fines may be imposed for attacks on witnesses and judicial families. Threats to security and witness testimonies pose serious challenges to the trial's integrity.

Judges emphasize the importance of upholding justice by addressing threats and ensuring the safety of those involved in legal proceedings. The credibility of the trial hinges on maintaining a fair and secure environment.

Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim

ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

In March, inflation remained strong, with an important indicator closely monitored by the Federal Reserve indicating elevated price pressures.

The personal consumption expenditures price index excluding food and energy increased 2.8% from a year ago in March, above expectations.
