Quick Glance: UK Lawmakers Support Groundbreaking 'Smoke-Free Generation' Bill
- The British government's plan for a landmark smoking ban to prevent young people from ever smoking passed its first hurdle in Parliament despite opposition from within Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party.
- The bill, announced by Sunak, would make it illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone born after January 1, 2009, creating one of the toughest anti-smoking measures in the world to establish the 'first smoke-free generation' in modern Britain.
- The bill also includes measures to crack down on youth vaping, such as banning the sale of cheap disposable vapes and restricting their flavors to prevent children from becoming addicted to nicotine.
- The number of people who smoke in the U.K. has declined by two-thirds since the 1970s, but approximately 6.4 million people in the country still smoke, accounting for about 13% of the population. Smoking remains the number one preventable cause of death, disability, and poor health.

Quick Glance: He Succeeded! 'Hardest Geezer' Russ Cook Completes Grueling Challenge of Running Length of Africa
- British Russ Cook, self-proclaimed 'Hardest Geezer,' has completed a nearly year-long grueling challenge of running the length of Africa. Starting from the most southern point in South Africa, Cape Agulhas, he finished at Ras Angela, Tunisia, the most northern point of the continent.
- During his journey through 16 countries, Cook faced extreme heat, physical exhaustion, and dangerous situations including armed robbery in Angola and separation from his supporters in the jungle of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Utilizing social media, he secured a visa to cross the border from Mauritania into Algeria.
- Cook has raised over £600,000 for two charities and plans a celebration with a performance by the band Soft Play to mark his accomplishments. The funds collected will benefit The Running Charity and Sandblast. Despite Africa being his most significant challenge, it wasn't his first, having previously run from Asia to England.
- The 27-year-old invited his supporters to run the final marathon with him and arranged a finish line party featuring a live performance by Soft Play in Tunisia. Through this challenge, known as Project Africa, Cook not only pushed physical boundaries but also raised substantial funds for charitable causes supporting the mental health of young individuals and educating about Sahrawi culture.

- Judge Andrew Lenon stated in a written ruling that Ennis' lawyers had a realistic prospect of establishing that 'Apple's overcharging of commission to app developers based in the UK in relation to commerce transacted on non-UK storefronts did amount to conduct implemented in the UK'.

- Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell emphasized that the U.S. economy, while otherwise strong, has not seen a return of inflation to the central bank's target.
- Powell mentioned that the current policy should remain in place as inflation has not declined quickly enough and there has been no further progress towards the 2% goal.
- Since July 2023, the Fed has maintained its benchmark interest rate in a target range between 5.25% and 5.5%, the result of 11 consecutive rate hikes.
- Financial markets have had to adjust their expectations for rate cuts this year as inflation has been higher than expected, and the Fed's policy continues to be dependent on data.

Quick Glance: Physicist Peter Higgs Passes Away at 94
- Physicist Peter Higgs, whose theory of an undetected particle in the universe changed science, has died at 94, according to the University of Edinburgh.
- The discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012 at the CERN research center was a significant advancement in understanding the cosmos, steering physics towards once-fantastical ideas.
- Higgs, initially 'incompetent' in the physics lab, later specialized in theoretical physics, inspired by quantum physicist Paul Dirac from his school.
- The Higgs boson's completion of the Standard Model opened doors to explore unexplained aspects of the universe and abstract concepts like parallel universes, despite Higgs disliking the 'God particle' nickname.
