Quick Glance: Trump Accused of Trying to 'Corrupt' 2016 Election in Hush-Money Trial
- A prosecutor alleged that Donald Trump tried to illegally influence the 2016 presidential election by preventing damaging stories about his personal life from becoming public.
- The defense argued that Trump was 'innocent' and attacked the integrity of the former Trump confidant who is now the government's star witness.
- The opening statements provided the 12-person jury and the public with a roadmap to understand the allegations in the case and Trump's expected defenses.
- Prosecutors emphasized the gravity of the case by framing it as about election interference and sought to address criticism that the case lacks the grievous allegations present in Trump's other three cases.

Quick Glance: South Korea Objects to Japanese Leaders' Yasukuni Shrine Offerings
- South Korea expressed deep disappointment on Sunday over Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's offerings at the Yasukuni Shrine and urged Japanese leaders to show repentance for the country's wartime past.
- The shrine is viewed by Beijing and Seoul as a representation of Japan's historical military aggression due to its inclusion of 14 Japanese wartime leaders among the 2.5 million war dead honored there.
- The South Korean government calls on Japanese leaders to confront history and demonstrate sincere repentance, which would be a crucial step towards enhancing relations between the two countries.
- Despite progress in the South Korea-Japan relationship, particularly in security cooperation, the offerings made by Kishida and some cabinet members at the Yasukuni Shrine have sparked protests from South Korea.

Quick Glance: The Penalty Controversy at VfB: Analysis and Decisions
- In the post-match analysis of the game against Werder Bremen, the Stuttgart officials debated intensely about a potential penalty incident, where Michael Zetterer brought down Angelo Stiller and received a yellow card.
- The VfB players and officials were convinced that in the 68th minute, a penalty should have been awarded to them, as Stiller was struck in the face after a header.
- The referee opted not to use video review as the contact between Zetterer and Stiller occurred after the player's shot, which typically would not be considered a foul unless particularly reckless.
- Compared to a similar incident in the previous season where a penalty was given, the referee's decision in this case was controversial, but a penalty kick could have been theoretically possible.
