Quick Glance: French 'Bollard Man' Granted Permanent Residency After Heroic Act

Quick Glance: Reunion of Molly the Magpie and Peggy the Staffy

Molly, the magpie, has finally returned home to the Gold Coast after a 45-day odyssey and has reunited with her unlikely best friend, Peggy the Staffy.

Queensland's Department of Environment, Science, and Innovation (DESI) made the announcement, signaling the end of the gripping saga.

Independent veterinary experts have determined that Molly is 'highly habituated' and may have developmental issues, making her unsuitable for rehabilitation or return to the wild.

Juliette Wells and Reece Mortensen demonstrated their commitment to Molly's well-being by meeting the conditions outlined in the licensing process, including refraining from the commercial exploitation of the bird or its image, participating in wildlife carer training, and collaborating with DESI to ensure Molly's ongoing care and enrichment.

apnews.com/article/australia-church-stabbing-0fd1e9d4ae21915d16318456d1e58bc7

Quick Glance: Bishop's Premonition and Stabbing Incident

A well-known Sydney bishop, stabbed during a sermon, had been warned of a potential attack on his life in recent weeks.

The attack on Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel, allegedly by a 15-year-old, occurred at the Christ the Good Shepherd Church in Wakeley on Monday night following a sermon where the bishop mentioned that his death was imminent.

The bishop clarified that his potential passing would not be an attempt to escape or avoid life, but rather a conscious desire to be with God.

A 15-year-old boy was arrested after the attack on the bishop and three other men during a service at an Assyrian Orthodox church in Sydney's southwest. The bishop was taken to the hospital with multiple stab wounds and is currently in stable condition.

Quick Glance: Contemplating Prosecution Cessation for Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange

President Joe Biden is contemplating Australia's request to cease the long-standing U.S. effort to prosecute Wikileaks founder Julian Assange for revealing American classified documents.

There is a disparity in the treatment of Assange and Manning, with Obama shortening Manning's sentence while Assange remains under indictment. Supporters of Assange argue he is a journalist protected by the First Amendment who exposed U.S. military misconduct in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Quick Glance: Return of the 'Devil Comet' after 71 Years

The green, horned 'Devil comet' is now visible in Australian skies, offering a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see a unique celestial body.

The comet, whose nucleus has a 34km diameter, has been likened to Halley's comet due to its molecular structure and was nicknamed 'Devil comet' due to eruptions from its nucleus.

The 'Devil comet,' also known as 12P/Pons-Brooks, becomes more visible as it gets closer to the sun due to its hot icy core and gas trail. It will be at its brightest on 22 April, but finding it might be challenging as it competes with the full moon.

Experts suggest initially spotting the comet with binoculars or a telescope, although it will also be visible to the naked eye. It is considered a piece of history and special due to its brightness.
