Quick Glance: Police Investigation into SNP Finances: Key Updates

On Thursday, the re-arrest of Peter Murrell, the husband of Nicola Sturgeon, took place as part of the police investigation into the SNP’s finances.

Murrell, aged 59, was apprehended and underwent interrogation by detectives.

The arrest occurred slightly more than a year subsequent to the search conducted by Police Scotland officers at the couple’s residence, where a blue tent was set up outside the property, alongside searches at the SNP’s headquarters in Edinburgh.

In April 2024, Peter Murrell was charged with 'embezzlement' of funds from the SNP.

Quick Glance: Scottish Government Abandons 'World-Leading' Climate Target

The Scottish Government has abandoned its “world-leading” target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 75% by 2030.

Scotland will move away from legally binding annual targets to a five-yearly carbon budget approach.

A new package of climate action measures was announced, including tripling the number of charging points for electric vehicles and exploring a new integrated ticketing system for public transport in Scotland.

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.

Quick Glance: Devastating Fire Strikes Copenhagen's Old Stock Exchange

A blaze engulfed Copenhagen’s historic former stock exchange in Denmark’s capital on Tuesday, with the spire being consumed by flames and collapsing.

The fire spread across multiple floors of the monument, leading to the collapse of its roof, as reported by local fire department chief Jakob Vedsted Andersen.

The tower, standing at 184 feet, featured a distinctive design resembling four intertwined dragons’ tails, symbolizing protection against enemies and fire, as indicated by tourism websites.

Deputy Prime Minister Troels Lund Poulsen referred to the incident as Denmark’s unique moment akin to Notre Dame, alluding to the 2019 fire in the roof of the Parisian landmark.
