irishexaminer.com/world/arid-41378080.html
Quick Glance: Biden's Cannibal Story Causes Confusion in Papua New Guinea
- Joe Biden's claim that his uncle was eaten by cannibals in Papua New Guinea during World War Two has sparked confusion and criticism in the country.
- Official war records state that Finnegan died in a plane crash in the Pacific Ocean, with no mention of cannibalism or the plane being shot down.
- Analysts in Papua New Guinea consider Biden's comments unsubstantiated and poorly judged, especially as the US aims to strengthen ties with the country and counter Chinese influence in the region.
- Some residents were simply baffled by the remarks, while others found them unhelpful and damaging to Papua New Guinea's reputation, particularly after Biden cancelled a planned trip to the country last year.

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.
