Quick Glance: Gun Manufacturers Seek US Supreme Court Appeal in Mexico's Lawsuit
- U.S. gun manufacturers are urging the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their challenge against Mexico's $10 billion lawsuit, accusing them of facilitating the trafficking of firearms to violent drug cartels along the U.S.-Mexico border.
- Eight companies, including Smith & Wesson Brands and Sturm, Ruger & Co, argued that a lower court wrongly determined that the case qualified for an exception to a U.S. law providing broad protection to the firearms industry from misuse lawsuits.
- The companies argued that without the U.S. Supreme Court's intervention, the U.S. firearms industry would face years of costly litigation by a 'foreign sovereign' attempting to push the industry into adopting gun control measures rejected by American voters.
- In its 2021 lawsuit, Mexico alleged that the companies undermined its strict gun laws by designing, marketing, and distributing military-style assault weapons they knew would arm drug cartels, resulting in murders, extortions, and kidnappings in the country.

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
- A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.
- The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.
- Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.
- The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Quick Glance: UK Lawmakers Support Groundbreaking 'Smoke-Free Generation' Bill
- The British government's plan for a landmark smoking ban to prevent young people from ever smoking passed its first hurdle in Parliament despite opposition from within Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party.
- The bill, announced by Sunak, would make it illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone born after January 1, 2009, creating one of the toughest anti-smoking measures in the world to establish the 'first smoke-free generation' in modern Britain.
- The bill also includes measures to crack down on youth vaping, such as banning the sale of cheap disposable vapes and restricting their flavors to prevent children from becoming addicted to nicotine.
- The number of people who smoke in the U.K. has declined by two-thirds since the 1970s, but approximately 6.4 million people in the country still smoke, accounting for about 13% of the population. Smoking remains the number one preventable cause of death, disability, and poor health.

China tried to meddle but Canadians decided the last two elections, says PM Trudeau
reut.rs/49NfyOJ
Quick Glance: Alleged Chinese Interference in Canadian Elections: Trudeau Confirms Independence
- Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau reported to an official inquiry that China attempted to intervene in the last two Canadian elections, but the outcomes were unaffected, and it was deemed 'improbable' that Beijing favored a specific party.
- Under pressure from opposition lawmakers dissatisfied with media reports on China's potential involvement in the elections, Trudeau established the commission.
- Erin O'Toole, who led the main opposition Conservative party during the 2021 campaign, estimated that Chinese interventions may have cost his party up to nine seats but did not alter the election's course. Trudeau's Liberal Party emerged victorious in both instances.
- Canada's domestic intelligence agency informed the commission of China's 'clandestine and deceptive' interference in both elections, marking the most substantial evidence thus far of suspected Chinese meddling in Canadian politics.

reut.rs/4d3uET0
Quick Glance: US Imports of Mexican Crude Hit Record Low

- Prices for heavy crude oil along the U.S. Gulf Coast have risen in recent weeks, partly due to the decline in Mexican exports.
