Quick Glance: House Speaker Mike Johnson Faces Difficult Task

  • The mood in Kyiv is tense as the city withstands missile attacks and awaits approval of aid from Washington.

Orbán faces danger from new enemy brandishing a leaked tape
Quick Glance: Hungary’s Government Faces Pressure from Corruption and Bolsonaro Allegations
  • Peter Magyar hands over a secretly recorded tape of his ex-wife, former justice minister Judit Varga, admitting government members tampered with evidence in a corruption case.

  • Magyar, ex-husband of former justice minister Judit Varga, launches a movement aiming to become a political party in Budapest, Hungary.

  • Magyar shared the latest corruption evidence on Facebook and also provided it to prosecutors, originating from a recorded conversation at home with his ex-wife Judit Varga in January 2023 when she was serving as the justice minister.

Quick Glance: The remarkable evolution of ISIS-K's leader into a formidable group
  • Sanaullah Ghafari, in his role as the leader of the Afghan branch of Islamic State, played a significant role in the transformation into an extremely menacing branch of the global Islamist network, capable of conducting operations far from their bases in the border regions of Afghanistan.

  • The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the massacre at a concert hall near Moscow that resulted in the deaths of at least 137 people. U.S. officials indicated that the Afghan branch, Islamic State Khorasan (ISIS-K), was responsible.

  • Ghafari has enhanced the group's strength through his firm ideology and notable attacks. He has made repeated attempts to target Russia in response to its involvement in the Syrian civil war, which contributed to defeating ISIS' regional operations.

  • By using high-profile attacks as a tool for recruitment, the group has focused on ethnic Tajiks and Uzbeks in Central Asia. ISIS-K is planning to escalate its foreign operations, including attacks against the United States.
