Quick Glance: San Francisco's Real Estate Market in Turmoil

The city of San Francisco, once seen as the shining star of the West Coast, is now on the verge of collapse, with seemingly no one raising the alarm.

In particular, the city's housing market has been severely impacted over the past year, with prices plummeting and homeowners fleeing en masse.

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'

San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.

Quick Glance: Investigation of Possible Payments from China and Russia to Maximilian Krah

The General Prosecutor's Office in Dresden has officially initiated investigations against Maximilian Krah due to potential financial flows from Russian and Chinese sources.

The AfD lead candidate for the European Parliament elections, Maximilian Krah, is the subject of two preliminary investigations at the General Prosecutor's Office in Dresden.

Towards the end of last year, Krah was questioned by the FBI about possible payments from Kremlin-related sources, allegedly carrying a four-digit sum of money at that time.

On Monday evening, German authorities arrested Jian G., a close associate of Krah, who is suspected of spying for the Chinese intelligence service in Germany.

Quick Glance: Switzerland: Condemnation by ECHR Signifies 'Historic' Step

For the first time, an international court has ruled on the harmful effects of climate change, establishing a direct link with quality of life, health, and well-being.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) condemned Switzerland on April 9, 2024, for climate inaction, stating that the country had not taken sufficient measures to protect its citizens from the effects of climate disruption.

Described as 'historic' by observers, the ruling is expected to set a precedent in the 46 member states of the Council of Europe, increasing pressure on governments to intensify their actions.

The Senior Women for Climate Protection, who have been fighting since 2016 to prove that heatwaves exacerbate their health problems and that Swiss climate policy is 'insufficient' to contain global warming to 1.5°C, expressed great pride in the Court recognizing their fundamental rights to a healthy climate for the first time.

Quick Glance: Iran's Revolutionary Guards Influencing Islamic Republic's Foreign Policy Since US Withdrawal from Nuclear Deal

Since the US withdrawal from the nuclear deal in 2018, the regime's ideological army has significantly influenced the Islamic Republic's foreign policy.

The Swiss ambassador in Iran was not received by diplomatic representatives of the Foreign Ministry on April 14, but by the Revolutionary Guards, who initiated the 'Honest Promise' operation and fired projectiles at Israel.

The military operation 'Honest Promise,' led by the aerospace branch of the Islamic Republic's ideological army, highlights the Revolutionary Guards' control over the country's affairs.

Iran's direct attack on Israel on April 14 was a strategic decision to prevent escalation following the death of General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, who was killed in April.

Quick Glance: George Santos ends independent bid for US House seat

Following his expulsion from Congress after a bipartisan vote on December 1, George Santos, a Republican representative from New York, is seen leaving the U.S. Capitol. On Tuesday, Santos announced his decision to withdraw his independent candidacy for New York's 1st Congressional District.

In order to prevent a split in the Republican ticket between himself and the incumbent Republican candidate, Nick LaLota, in case he secures the Republican nomination after the New York primary on June 25, Santos opted out of an independent run, as reported by Politico.

Nancy Goroff and John Avlon are currently competing for the Democratic nomination for the congressional seat during the New York primary.

Despite concluding his independent candidacy, Santos hinted at a possible future congressional run. He expressed, 'The future holds countless possibilities, and I am prepared, eager, and capable to step up and fight for my country at any time.'

Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim

ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

ByteDance, the owner of TikTok, would prefer to shut down its loss-making app rather than sell it if all legal options to fight legislation to ban the platform from app stores in the US are exhausted, said four sources.

TikTok accounts for a small share of ByteDance’s total revenues and daily active users, so the parent would rather have the app shut down in the US in a worst-case scenario than sell it to a potential American buyer, they said.

ByteDance would not agree to sell one of its most valuable assets – its “secret source” – to rivals, said the four sources, referring to the TikTok algorithm.

After facing challenges regarding bans, the short-form video app has encountered partial and attempted prohibitions in the US and other nations.

The debate over providing billions in aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan divided House Republicans and led to calls from Trump allies for Johnson's removal as Speaker.

Johnson defied his conservative critics by moving forward with bills for overseas assistance, separate from a failed border security bill, emphasizing the importance of supporting democratic allies facing threats.

China's government is helping fuel the U.S. fentanyl crisis, House panel reveals

axios.com/2024/04/16/china-fentanyl-crisis-us-house-investigation

Quick Glance: China's Subsidization of Fentanyl Production Intensifying Crisis in the U.S.

A report from a special House committee states that China is fueling the Fentanyl crisis in the U.S. directly by subsidizing the manufacturing of materials used by traffickers outside the country to produce the drug.

The committee found that the Chinese government provides tax rebates for the production of specific Fentanyl precursors and other synthetic drugs as long as they are sold outside of China.

The report highlights that China not only subsidizes the manufacturing of precursor chemicals but also thwarts investigations into illegal manufacturers by warning the targets when formal requests for assistance are made by U.S. law enforcement.

Former Attorney General William Barr recommended that the U.S. should leverage its trade and economic power to push for stronger enforcement from Chinese authorities, and victims should take civil actions against companies and individuals involved in distributing the precursors and synthetic drugs.

Quick Glance: Focus on Support for Israel and Ukraine by Mike Johnson

House Speaker Mike Johnson is heavily advocating for support for Israel and Ukraine while trying to push a national security package through the House.

Johnson faces the challenge of juggling the Republican Party's divided support for Kyiv's defense while feeling the pressure to pass a comprehensive aid package for U.S. allies.

In his quest to find ways to promote funding for Ukraine, Johnson is engaging in discussions with the White House and former president Donald Trump. The divisive dynamic within the party and the urgency of the situation in Ukraine present a significant challenge for Johnson.

Johnson must craft a package that includes some policy wins for Republicans while also gaining Democratic approval. Despite concerns from some progressive Democrats regarding support for Israel, most Democratic lawmakers have rallied behind the Senate-passed package.
