apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-long-range-missiles-4d2254639eb5a503d8b0a291ed0680e9

Quick Glance: USA Provides Ukraine with Long-Range ATACMS Missiles

The USA delivered short-range ATACMS missiles with extended range to Ukraine to protect the country.

The delivery was discreet, part of an aid package to maintain Ukraine's operational security.

The USA previously provided ATACMS missiles with a range of 165 km last year, now supplying missiles with up to 300 km range.

Germany rejects providing the Taurus missile while the USA offers extensive aid to Ukraine.

Joe Biden signs the bill that could ban TikTok in the United States: The bill that will force a sale or ban of TikTok in the United States is now law.

engt.co/49UaBTY

Quick Glance: Measures Against TikTok: Biden Sets Deadline for Sale

President Biden has signed legislation requiring ByteDance to fully divest from TikTok within a year or potentially face a nationwide ban.

This action poses a significant challenge to the future of the video-streaming app in the U.S. and escalates the technological conflict between America and China.

TikTok plans to take legal action against the Biden administration, citing concerns that the law could impede the free speech of millions of Americans.

This requirement was incorporated into a bill providing foreign aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, mandating ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok within 12 months under the threat of closure.

Quick Glance: Biden signs Comprehensive Military Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan

President Biden announces the signing of a substantial $95 billion military assistance package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with a significant portion of the funds directed towards Ukraine.

Despite initial resistance from Republicans in Congress, Biden has signed the aid package, highlighting the reinforcement of allies and ensuring prompt deliveries to Ukraine.

The assistance for Ukraine includes weapons and military equipment valued at around $1 billion, encompassing artillery shells and air defense missiles.

Military analysts do not foresee significant changes on the frontlines in eastern Ukraine, while the US support aims to aid Ukraine in operations in southern Ukraine, particularly focusing on Crimea and the Black Sea.

The salary threshold will be automatically adjusted every three years to reflect changes in average earnings.

The rule does not affect overtime requirements for hourly workers.

reuters.com/markets/asia/south-korea-prepares-new-monitoring-system-detect-illegal-stock-short-selling-2024-04-25/

Quick Glance: South Korea introduces monitoring system to curb illegal stock short selling

South Korea's financial market watchdog has developed a new monitoring mechanism to detect illegal short-selling transactions in the stock market. Institutional investors will be electronically processed and filtered through a central detection system to prevent illegal trades.

South Korea has made various reform efforts to address the 'Korea discount' in the stock market, where domestic companies have lower valuations compared to global peers due to factors like low dividend payouts and opaque governance structures.

Last November, South Korea imposed a sudden ban on short selling of shares for the first half of the year after discovering illegal trades by foreign investment banks. Authorities stated that the ban would remain until adequate measures are in place to prevent such practices.

The FSS aims to implement the new monitoring system swiftly after finalizing it, although no specific date was provided for the implementation.

apnews.com/article/jobs-employers-noncompete-agreements-economy-pay-4d7b3eb8e143cfd52025c7f2f5259fc4

Quick Glance: US implements ban on worker 'competition agreements' with business groups filing lawsuits

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has approved a framework to eliminate agreements often signed by employees to refrain from joining their employers' competitors or establishing rival businesses.

The ban on noncompete agreements is projected to boost worker earnings by up to $488 billion over the next decade and facilitate the establishment of over 8,500 new businesses annually.

Prominent business associations have criticized the framework and declared legal actions, contending that noncompete agreements assist companies in safeguarding trade secrets and advancing competitiveness.

Unions have endorsed the FTC's vote in favor of the ban, hailing it as a significant triumph for workers that will enhance the national economy by fostering entrepreneurship.

Quick Glance: South Korean Woman Falls Victim to $50k Elon Musk Deepfake Scam

A South Korean woman was convinced to invest 70 million won ($50,770) after watching a fabricated video portraying someone who looked like Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, as reported locally on Tuesday.

Jeong Ji-sun, identified by the pseudonym at KBS, disclosed her experience as a victim of a romance scam on KBS's 'In-Depth 60 Minutes.' During the episode on April 19, Jeong narrated her initial interactions with the scammer posing as Musk.

Jeong's initial hesitations dissipated swiftly. The scammer forwarded his identification and a workplace photo to Jeong. Moreover, he discussed aspects such as his children and commuting to Tesla or SpaceX via helicopter. He further mentioned his sporadic outreach to fans.

The program highlighted the prevalent use of AI in these romance scams. The swindler engaged in a form of deception known as 'pig butchering,' as explained by the producer. This approach involves gradually enticing victims to increase their contributions to an apparently legitimate investment before the perpetrator vanishes.

Quick Glance: South Korea Q1 GDP Growth Exceeds Estimates

The South Korean economy grew faster than expected in the first quarter, driven by an increase in domestic consumption and robust exports. However, the sustainability of the recovery was questioned.

GDP for the January-March quarter grew by 1.3%, marking the sharpest expansion since the fourth quarter of 2021 and surpassing all forecasts.

Growth in domestic demand was the main factor behind the stronger-than-expected GDP, with private consumption increasing by 0.8%. Analysts expressed uncertainty regarding the long-term strength of economic growth.

Despite a rebound in exports and an increase in government spending, uncertainty remains regarding inflation outlook and monetary policy, as the Bank of Korea reconsiders its economic growth projections for 2024.

South Korea is considering relaxing reporting requirements for investors in the bond market to facilitate inclusion in FTSE Russell's global bond index.

Proposed changes may reduce reporting to once or twice daily and address a later reporting deadline.

Easing these regulations could enhance the prospects of South Korean bonds being included in FTSE Russell's WGBI and attract billions of dollars in capital inflows.

Recent reforms in South Korea aim to improve foreign investor access, including the elimination of a 30-year-old rule for foreign stock traders.

Quick Glance: South Korean Court Deliberates Children's Climate Change Lawsuit Against Government

Environmental activist Choi Jia, alongside her younger sibling Choi Heewoo, participates in a press briefing preceding the initial hearing concerning petitions asserting that the government infringed upon their human rights due to an inadequate approach to climate change.

A public hearing regarding a lawsuit brought by twenty-four young environmental activists against the government commenced in one of South Korea's top judicial bodies on Tuesday. The plaintiffs argue that the government's negligence in addressing climate change left them unprotected.

Maintaining that South Korea's current climate strategies fall short in containing the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, the plaintiffs claim this breaches the state's duty to safeguard fundamental rights. Scientists caution about the dire consequences of surpassing a 1.5C temperature increase.

During the legal proceedings, the government asserted its commitment to minimizing carbon emissions and upholding its citizens' basic rights. Nevertheless, activists expressed dissatisfaction with the government's response and urged for more concrete actions against climate change.

Quick Glance: Sibling Fatally Hit by Car at Birthday Party

A young brother and sister died, and several people were injured, some seriously, when a vehicle driven by a suspected drunken driver crashed into a young child's birthday party at a boat club in Berlin Township, Michigan, on Saturday.
