Simon Harris becomes Ireland's youngest prime minister at 37: Father-of-two Mr Harris becomes Ireland's youngest and 15th taoiseach as he succeeds Leo ...
news.sky.com/story/simon-harris-approved-as-irelands-next-prime-minister-by-parliament-13111368
Quick Glance: Simon Harris Becomes Ireland's Youngest Prime Minister
- Simon Harris has been officially sworn in as Ireland's youngest prime minister, succeeding Leo Varadkar who abruptly stepped down last month. Harris, 37, took the helm of the ruling Fine Gael party but faces challenges as the party trails behind Sinn Fein in polls.
- A rapid riser in Ireland's political hierarchy, Harris has made a name for himself as Health Minister and most recently as Minister for Higher Education and Science. His political identity as a young politician has been marked by both supporters and critics, particularly standing out with younger voters and on social media platforms like TikTok.
- Varadkar's government grappled with challenges such as housing crisis and increasing immigration numbers. Harris inherits a tough political landscape, especially with upcoming elections until March 2025. The political landscape in Ireland has shifted, with Sinn Fein emerging as a rising political force, leading to a shift in the traditional party landscape.
- While Harris sees the idea of a potential reunification of Ireland as a legitimate aspiration, his focus remains on current challenges like housing crisis, rising cost of living, and immigration. Despite political changes and discussions about potential reunification, Ireland's future remains uncertain and complex.

Quick Glance: US Reporter Evan Gershkovich's One Year in Russian Jail
- A year after Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was detained by Russian security forces on espionage charges, family, friends, and journalists commemorate the anniversary with readings of his articles and support campaigns.
- Despite official press accreditation and years of reporting in Russia, Gershkovich was accused of obtaining state secrets, leading to international concerns and calls for his release.
- His case echoes past events like the detention of Nicholas Daniloff in Moscow, as the US government continues efforts to secure Gershkovich's release and engages in potential prisoner exchange talks with Russia.
- Despite ongoing court hearings and extensions of his pretrial detention, Gershkovich remains optimistic, reading books and even contemplating writing a novel post-release, while the US and Russia discuss potential exchange opportunities.
