Quick Glance: Senate's Decision on Impeachment Charges Against Mayorkas

The Senate rejected the impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, halting the House Republicans' effort to impeach the Cabinet secretary over his management of the US-Mexico border.

With Democrats contending that the articles were unconstitutional, senators voted to dismiss both impeachment charges and conclude the trial.

Senate Republicans had called for a full impeachment trial after the House narrowly voted in February to impeach Mayorkas for his border actions.

Republicans argued that President Joe Biden was ineffective at the border, while Democrats suggested accepting a bipartisan Senate compromise instead of impeaching Mayorkas to reduce illegal immigrants.

Quick Glance: US Blocks UN Resolution for Palestinian Full Membership

In the Security Council, 12 countries voted for a UN resolution recommending full Palestinian membership, with the US opposing and two countries abstaining.

The US argued that Palestinian membership should result from negotiations between Israel and Palestinians to enable a two-state solution.

The Palestinian delegation emphasized that UN membership is a crucial step for peace in the region and criticized the Israeli government for its rejection.

Israel rejected the resolution and warned of its potential impact on future dialogues, especially in light of the recent escalation of violence in Gaza.

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial

A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Quick Glance: US Imposes Sanctions on Russian Metals at Exchanges

The US and UK imposed new restrictions on trading Russian aluminum, copper, and nickel that will impact global metal markets, aiming to limit President Vladimir Putin’s ability to fund his war efforts.

The rules ban the delivery of new supplies from Russia to the London Metal Exchange and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. While non-US entities can still buy physical Russian metals, the restrictions are expected to influence prices on the LME, a key benchmark in global contracts.

The sanctions will also affect traders' handling of Russian metal, potentially leading to discounts compared to other sources. The move aims to reduce Russia's earnings while avoiding broad sanctions on crucial metals. Russian metals exports were valued at $25 billion in 2022 and $15 billion in 2023.

The restrictions aim to prevent market disruptions seen in past sanctions and mark a significant shift in the metal supply chain dynamics. Palladium and titanium, major Russian-supplied metals, are not subject to these restrictions.

The UK government froze the multimillion-dollar London property roughly a week after the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists unveiled its connection to Igor Komarov and its seemingly untouched status by sanctions against the high-ranking Kremlin official.

In February, the ongoing relationship between Komarov and the prime central London townhouse on Herbert Crescent, purchased for over $16.5 million through a British Virgin Islands-based shell company he previously managed, was highlighted.

An update was made on April 5 regarding the Companies House records for Wastom, aligning with the ROE filings.

Why Ukraine is losing the war with Russia: The West’s failure to send weapons to Kyiv is putting Putin on course for victory.

politico.eu/article/why-ukraine-losing-russia-war/

Quick Glance: Russia Strikes Chernihiv: 18 Dead, Ukraine Appeals for Air Defense

At least 18 people were killed and over 60 wounded in Chernihiv due to Russian missile strikes. Ukrainian officials emphasized that the attack could have been prevented with adequate air defense systems.

Russia launched three Iskander cruise missiles at the city, located near the Russian border and previously encircled by Russian troops.

Ukraine currently has three Patriot air defense systems but requires 26 for full coverage. Following appeals for more systems, Germany pledged to send an additional one.

A $60 billion aid package for Ukraine is stalled in the US Congress, allowing Russia to exploit ammunition and air defense shortages and gain ground in the east.

Quick Glance: 'Rust' Armorer Sentenced to 18 Months in Fatal Shooting

Former 'Rust' movie armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was sentenced to 18 months in prison by the New Mexico District Court Judge.

The incident that shocked the film industry is believed to mark the first instance in recent history of a member of a film crew or cast being fatally injured by a live round mistakenly loaded into a firearm.

Baldwin's trial is scheduled for July 10 following his indictment for involuntary manslaughter in January.

Initially, Hutchins' death led to a halt in the use of real firearms and blank ammunition by US film and television productions, but many have resumed usage due to the authenticity they provide.

Quick Glance: Call for Restraint: Putin Engages With Iran's Raisi

During a phone call with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, Russian President Vladimir Putin cautioned against further escalation in the Middle East, emphasizing the potential 'catastrophic consequences.'

Putin expressed the expectation for all parties to exhibit reasonable restraint to prevent a new round of confrontation that could lead to 'catastrophic consequences' for the entire region, as outlined by the Kremlin's report on the call.

The already tense situation in the Middle East heightened over the weekend following Iran and its allies launching over 300 missiles and drones towards Israel. Israel reported successfully intercepting 99% of the projectiles using air defense systems.

Moscow and Iran share strong military and political ties. The call on Tuesday was initiated at the request of the Iranian side.

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced that Japan will gift the United States 250 new cherry trees to replace the ones being removed.

In 1912, the first lady Helen Herron Taft and Viscountess Chinda planted the original cherry trees, symbolizing the friendship between the two countries.

The cherry tree gift signifies the strong alliance between the U.S. and Japan as they discuss Pacific security matters.

The Tidal Basin, a reservoir in Washington with a high concentration of cherry blossom trees, is undergoing renovations, prompting Japan to offer new saplings.

Quick Glance: Former US Ambassador Sentenced for Spying for Cuba

Former US ambassador Manuel Rocha was sentenced to 15 years in prison after admitting to working as a secret agent for Cuba for decades.

Rocha accepted the penalty and paid a $500,000 fine after pleading guilty to acting on behalf of a foreign government.

The swift criminal case avoided a trial that would have revealed the extent of Rocha's assistance to Cuba while working for the US State Department for twenty years.

The sophistication of Cuban intelligence services was highlighted as Rocha's double-crossing went undetected for years, demonstrating his secret meetings with Cuban operatives and provision of false information to US officials.

A new rule by the Biden administration will require thousands of gun dealers to conduct background checks on buyers to close a legal loophole.

President Biden emphasizes that the measure aims to keep guns away from domestic abusers and felons to save lives.

The law mandates that sellers primarily engaged in selling firearms for profit must be federally licensed and perform checks.

Despite praise from advocates, the regulation is likely to face legal challenges from gun rights activists, concerned about potential infringements.

Quick Glance: Israel artist calls for Gaza ceasefire

The representative of Israel at the international art fair is calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza.

Ruth Patir’s video installation called (M)otherland was scheduled to open on Saturday at Israel’s national pavilion at the international art show but will remain closed for now.

Patir stated on her website that the artist and curators are showing solidarity with the families of the hostages and the large community in Israel calling for change, rather than canceling themselves or the exhibition.

It is believed that there are still individuals in Gaza, including 129 captives taken during the attacks led by Hamas on Israel on October 7, with 34 of them presumed dead.

Quick Glance: Women's NCAA Title Game Shines with Record Viewership

South Carolina’s victory of 87-75 over Caitlin Clark and Iowa in the women’s NCAA championship game marks a historic moment. For the first time, the women's game surpassed the men's title game, achieving the second-highest viewership for a non-Olympic women's sporting event on U.S. television.

The viewership for the Sunday afternoon game, which awarded the Gamecocks their fourth national title and denied Clark's Hawkeyes their first, peaked at 24.1 million during the final 15 minutes. Nielsen's figures include an estimate of individuals watching outside their homes, a metric not previously accounted for before 2020.

The audience for the national title game increased by 90% compared to the previous year when Clark and Iowa faced off against LSU. Moreover, this was the inaugural occurrence since 1995 of the championship being broadcast on network television.

During the Final Four, Clark emphasized the positive impact of audience growth on all women's sports, not solely basketball. Fox broadcasted 14 women's games this season, including three in prime time, NBC featured two, and CBS televised the Big Ten tournament championship. ABC presented five regular-season games and nine during the NCAA Tournament.
