Quick Glance: Trial Judge Evaluates Trump's Compliance with Gag Order
  • Former President Trump is on trial in New York for hush money issues. David Pecker from 'National Enquirer' testified about an agreement to manipulate stories about Trump and his rivals.

  • Concerns arose about Trump's violation of the gag order by criticizing court members. Mary McCord explained how the administration of justice can be disrupted by defendants' statements, leading to legal restrictions.

  • Despite reluctance to detain a former president, fines may be imposed for attacks on witnesses and judicial families. Threats to security and witness testimonies pose serious challenges to the trial's integrity.

  • Judges emphasize the importance of upholding justice by addressing threats and ensuring the safety of those involved in legal proceedings. The credibility of the trial hinges on maintaining a fair and secure environment.

Quick Glance: UK rejects mobility agreement with Europe for young people
  • The government has ruled out any post-Brexit deal that would make it easier for young Britons to live, study, and work in the EU.

  • Labour also rejected the possibility of an EU-wide scheme and prefers to improve the UK's working relationship with the EU within their red lines.

  • A campaign group urged MPs to listen to British young people who deserve the opportunities presented by the plan.

  • The EU suggested that Britain had expressed interest in youth mobility deals with individual member states but favored an EU-wide approach to ensure equal treatment for all members.
