Hearing before the US Supreme Court: Does Trump enjoy immunity?: Does Donald Trump enjoy far-reaching immunity for his time as US President? Could he ultimately ...

tagesschau.de/ausland/amerika/supreme-court-immunitaet-trump-100.html

Quick Glance: US Supreme Court discusses Trump's Immunity

Conservative US Supreme Court justices signal sympathy for the argument that presidents have some immunity against criminal charges for certain actions taken in office.

Former President Donald Trump appealed after lower courts rejected his request to be shielded from four election-related criminal charges.

The Supreme Court hearing could distort the presidency without immunity and affect decision-making when bold and fearless action is most needed.

The Supreme Court's decision on immunity is expected and could lead to Trump's trial occurring before the election.

Quick Glance: USDA directive mandates bird flu testing for dairy cows in interstate transport

A new federal directive from the USDA states that dairy cows transported across state lines must be tested for bird flu.

Following the discovery of bird flu virus fragments in pasteurized milk, the FDA initiated a survey of commercially sold milk.

The presence of the virus in the commercial milk supply indicates previous measures were insufficient in controlling its spread.

In addition to testing dairy cows before transport, the Wednesday's order mandates state veterinary labs to report positive tests to federal health authorities.

Quick Glance: What Lies Ahead for TikTok in the US?

The US Senate has unanimously approved a bill that could potentially lead to the banning of TikTok within nine months, unless its Chinese owner, ByteDance, withdraws from the video-sharing app due to concerns about national security threats.

President Joe Biden has confirmed his intention to sign the legislation on Wednesday.

ByteDance acquired the well-known karaoke app Musical.ly and rebranded it as TikTok back in 2017. It has become one of the fastest-growing applications in the United States, boasting 150 million monthly subscribers.

Quick Glance: Detention of Russia's Deputy Defense Minister on Suspicion of High Treason

Timur Ivanov, Russia's deputy defense minister, is suspected of high treason and bribery, facing a possible 15-year sentence.

Ivanov's arrest sparked speculation about a potential purge within Moscow's elite circle, especially given his close relationships with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.

Independent Russian media outlets report corruption allegations against Ivanov and his family, stemming from kickbacks on ministry-related contracts.

Ivanov is also alleged to have profited from construction projects in the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, which fell under Moscow's control after a prolonged siege. His arrest came shortly after a meeting with Shoigu and other defense ministry officials.

Quick Glance: Alzheimer's Drug Uptake Hindered by Doctors' Skepticism in US

The first drug to slow the progression of Alzheimer's, Leqembi by Eisai and Biogen, is facing resistance in the US from doctors who believe the treatment is futile.

The requirements of Leqembi, such as additional diagnostic tests, twice-monthly infusions, and regular brain scans, have led to slow adoption as many doctors express concerns about efficacy, cost, and risks.

Despite FDA approval and proven benefits in clinical trials, many doctors still have reservations about Leqembi, hindering the widespread use of the drug.

The companies behind Leqembi are working to improve physician and patient education to increase acceptance of the medication, aiming to treat 100,000 patients by 2026.

‘You’re Never Too Busy For Your Banker’: How Italy’s ’Ndrangheta Mafia Allegedly Infiltrated Canadian Banks - OCCRP

Quick Glance: How Italy’s 'Ndrangheta Mafia Allegedly Infiltrated Canadian Banks

A Canadian faction of the 'Ndrangheta allegedly had close relationships with employees at two major Canadian banks to facilitate their financial activities.

Angelo Figliomeni, the suspected mob boss, was at the center of the investigation, indicating that bankers were involved in the money laundering process of the group.

The investigation revealed that the 'Ndrangheta organization generated income through illegal activities such as gambling and loan sharking, which were used for money laundering by bankers like Martino.

Police seized assets worth millions of dollars and closed around 500 accounts at the implicated banks. Charges against Figliomeni and his co-defendants were dropped due to procedural errors.

Biden administration bans noncompete agreements, setting up legal showdown with business groups

Quick Glance: US implements ban on worker 'competition agreements' with business groups filing lawsuits

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has approved a framework to eliminate agreements often signed by employees to refrain from joining their employers' competitors or establishing rival businesses.

The ban on noncompete agreements is projected to boost worker earnings by up to $488 billion over the next decade and facilitate the establishment of over 8,500 new businesses annually.

Prominent business associations have criticized the framework and declared legal actions, contending that noncompete agreements assist companies in safeguarding trade secrets and advancing competitiveness.

Unions have endorsed the FTC's vote in favor of the ban, hailing it as a significant triumph for workers that will enhance the national economy by fostering entrepreneurship.

Quick Glance: Moscow Court Upholds Extension of Detention for Reporter Evan Gershkovich

Following the rejection of Evan Gershkovich's appeal, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, he will remain in custody on espionage charges until at least late June.

Detained in late March 2023 during a reporting trip, the 32-year-old US citizen has spent over a year in prison, with his detention being regularly prolonged and his appeals being turned down.

Experts suggest that Moscow might be leveraging jailed Americans as leverage in the escalating tensions between the US and Russia due to the Kremlin's military operation in Ukraine.

Gershkovich's arrest marks the first time since September 1986 that an American reporter has been detained in Russia on espionage charges, when Nicholas Daniloff, a Moscow correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, was apprehended by the KGB.

Elon Musk lashed out at Australia's prime minister after a court ordered his social media company X to take down footage of an alleged terrorist attack in Sydney.

X was directed to temporarily hide posts showing video of the incident where a teenager was charged with terrorism for knifing an Assyrian priest and others.

Musk questioned whether the Prime Minister should have jurisdiction over the entire internet and emphasized the importance of free speech.

The incident sets up a new conflict between major internet platforms and countries and nonprofits seeking more oversight of the content hosted on them.
