House Approves Bill Banning TikTok in the US (Again): Congress tries again with a TikTok ban, this time bundling it into a foreign aid package.

Quick Glance: EU Threatens to Suspend TikTok Lite App Features

The European Commission has expressed concerns over the 'risks of serious damage for the mental health of users', including minors, regarding the TikTok Lite app.

TikTok Lite allows users in France and Spain to earn points that can be exchanged for vouchers or gift cards by watching and liking videos.

The commission is threatening to take interim measures, including suspending the rewards program in the European Union, if TikTok fails to provide a risk assessment.

The EU has already fined TikTok under the Digital Services Act and could impose further sanctions if the company does not respond to requests or prove safety measures.

China relied on extrajudicial means to force thousands of fugitives to repatriate, human rights activists say - ICIJ

icij.org/investigations/china-cables/china-relied-on-extrajudicial-means-to-force-thousands-of-fugitives-to-repatriate-human-rights-activists-say/

Quick Glance: China's Illegal Tactics for Repatriating Fugitives

Over the past decade, China has forcibly repatriated more than 12,000 fugitives to combat corruption, according to a human rights group report.

Under Xi Jinping's government, China heavily relied on extrajudicial methods like kidnappings, harassment, and intimidation to 'persuade' and coerce Chinese nationals in over 120 countries to return.

'Fox Hunt' and 'Sky Net' operations aim at repressing Chinese nationals abroad, including activists, journalists, and religious minorities.

The Chinese government uses persuasion methods to compel suspects to return, bypassing host countries' legal systems, leading to international resistance.

Donald Trump: How he becomes the star of a political thriller: A criminal trial that would make screenwriters green with envy begins in New York ...

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: IMF upgrades global growth forecast despite risks

The International Monetary Fund slightly raised its global growth forecast on Tuesday, noting that the economy had proven 'surprisingly resilient' despite inflationary pressures and monetary policy shifts.

IMF's chief economist, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, indicated that the global economy is heading for a 'soft landing,' with risks to the outlook now broadly balanced.

While advanced economies are expected to lead the growth, dim prospects in China and other major emerging markets could impact global trade partners, according to the report.

Despite Tuesday's brighter outlook, global growth remains low compared to historical standards, partly due to weak productivity growth and increasing geopolitical fragmentation.

Quick Glance: 'Rust' Armorer Sentenced to 18 Months in Fatal Shooting

Former 'Rust' movie armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was sentenced to 18 months in prison by the New Mexico District Court Judge.

The incident that shocked the film industry is believed to mark the first instance in recent history of a member of a film crew or cast being fatally injured by a live round mistakenly loaded into a firearm.

Baldwin's trial is scheduled for July 10 following his indictment for involuntary manslaughter in January.

Initially, Hutchins' death led to a halt in the use of real firearms and blank ammunition by US film and television productions, but many have resumed usage due to the authenticity they provide.
