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.

An 8-year-old girl and her 5-year-old brother died in the crash, as a 66-year-old woman drove about 25 feet into the building, according to Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough.

Three children and six adults were taken to hospitals with life-threatening injuries, while others received first aid on site and some were transported by private vehicles.

The driver was taken into custody and is suspected of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol causing death. Further charges may be pending as the investigation continues.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced an increase in defense spending to 2.5% of GDP by the end of the decade, along with a pledge to provide Ukraine with new military aid totaling $620 million, including weapons, armored vehicles, and ammunition.

Sunak described the heightened spending as the most significant strengthening of national defense in a generation, emphasizing the need to remain vigilant in the face of current geopolitical threats.

The UK commits to an additional £75 billion in defense spending over the next six years, aiming to raise defense expenditure to 2.5% of GDP, reaffirming a target set by Boris Johnson in 2022.

The announcement followed similar moves by the US, approving $61 billion in aid for Ukraine, signaling an escalated international response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine.

'HELP' sign on beach points rescuers to men stuck nine days on remote Pacific atoll

apnews.com/article/help-island-atoll-pacific-coast-guard-acfe972c9e6735ab0a6e12b033f959f8

Quick Glance: Rescue of Stranded Mariners Using Palm Leaves

Three sailors were rescued from a remote Pacific Island after being stranded for over a week and using palm leaves to write 'HELP' on the white sand beach, as announced by the U.S. Coast Guard.

The men found themselves stranded on Pikelot Atoll after their boat was damaged during a fishing trip on March 31.

Initiation of the search and rescue operation occurred on April 6 when a family member of the sailors contacted the Joint Rescue Sub-Center (JRSC) Guam due to their absence.

Survival supplies were effectively provided to the stranded sailors until the USCGC Oliver Henry redirected to Pikelot Atoll on April 9 to finalize the rescue operation, according to officials.
