Quick Glance: Paris Olympics Flame Lit in Greek Cradle Amid Weather Challenges
- Despite the absence of Apollo, the flame for the Paris Olympics was ignited at the site of the ancient games in southern Greece on Tuesday.
- A backup flame was used as cloudy skies prevented the traditional lighting, where an actress dressed as an ancient Greek priestess typically uses the sun to ignite a silver torch.
- The flame will be carried by torchbearers from Olympia for over 5000 kilometers through Greece before being handed over to the Paris Games organizers in Athens on April 26.
- The Belem, a French three-masted sailing ship, will transport the Olympic flame from Greece to Marseille, arriving on May 8 after visiting the historic site of Olympia.

Quick Glance: Trump hush money trial: First six jurors selected

- The jurors include an IT worker, an English teacher, an oncology nurse, a sales professional, a software engineer, and a corporate lawyer.
- The trial, commencing Monday, puts Trump’s legal issues at the forefront of his race against President Joe Biden and is the first of his four criminal cases to go to trial, potentially reaching a verdict before the November election.
- The charges against Trump revolve around $130,000 payments to his lawyer, Michael Cohen, to silence Stormy Daniels, with Trump denying the encounter and claiming it had no campaign involvement.
