Quick Glance: Dismissal of Sainsbury's Employee for Unpaid 'Bags for Life'

After nearly 20 years at the supermarket, a Sainsbury's worker was fired for taking 'Bags for Life' without payment following a night shift.

During a disciplinary investigation in September 2022, he was shown the CCTV footage.

At a disciplinary hearing the next month, he was dismissed for gross misconduct.

The judge rejected his unfair dismissal claim, stating it was 'very hard' to argue with the decision following the theft of bags sold to customers for either 30p or 65p.

Five military horses bolted during an exercise near Buckingham Palace, causing chaos in central London streets.

Three injured soldiers were hospitalized, but none of the injuries were life-threatening.

The horses were captured shortly after and taken back to the barracks for medical tests.

Quick Glance: IMF upgrades global growth forecast despite risks

The International Monetary Fund slightly raised its global growth forecast on Tuesday, noting that the economy had proven 'surprisingly resilient' despite inflationary pressures and monetary policy shifts.

IMF's chief economist, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, indicated that the global economy is heading for a 'soft landing,' with risks to the outlook now broadly balanced.

While advanced economies are expected to lead the growth, dim prospects in China and other major emerging markets could impact global trade partners, according to the report.

Despite Tuesday's brighter outlook, global growth remains low compared to historical standards, partly due to weak productivity growth and increasing geopolitical fragmentation.

UK businesses to suffer if TikTok banned in the US: UK businesses using TikTok say they could see a significant drop in sales if the app is banned in the US.

bbc.com/news/articles/c3gl5qly48qo

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.

Quick Glance: Biden signs Comprehensive Military Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan

President Biden announces the signing of a substantial $95 billion military assistance package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with a significant portion of the funds directed towards Ukraine.

Despite initial resistance from Republicans in Congress, Biden has signed the aid package, highlighting the reinforcement of allies and ensuring prompt deliveries to Ukraine.

The assistance for Ukraine includes weapons and military equipment valued at around $1 billion, encompassing artillery shells and air defense missiles.

Military analysts do not foresee significant changes on the frontlines in eastern Ukraine, while the US support aims to aid Ukraine in operations in southern Ukraine, particularly focusing on Crimea and the Black Sea.

Quick Glance: Prince Harry Officially Residing in U.S.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have considered California home, and now his official residency in the U.S. has been documented in a corporate filing.

The document was filed at Britain’s corporate registrar, Companies House, to update the official residency of the British royal for business records of Travalyst Limited.

There had been little official confirmation of Harry’s residency status until this week, with an entry indicating a change of residency to June 29, 2023, the day the couple left Frogmore Cottage, their British home.

It is unclear what type of U.S. visa or residency permit Harry holds, despite efforts by conservative activists in the U.S. to ascertain them, including an ongoing lawsuit.

Quick Glance: Increase in UK defence spending by 2030

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak commits to raising spending to 2.5% of GDP, putting the defence industry on a 'war footing'.

Sunak emphasized the need for deeper stockpiles of munitions and quicker replenishment due to the events in the Ukraine conflict.

The planned increase in defence spending would require significant financial reshuffling, partly through announced measures to reduce the size of the civil service.

Shortly after announcing the pledge to send weapons worth 500 million pounds to Ukraine, this commitment followed.

US deficit poses ‘significant risks’ to global economy, warns IMF: Fund also cites concerns over fiscal ‘imbalances’ in UK, China and Italy

ft.com/content/0d098011-0ff5-4125-8cbb-5a5b281c9bd0

Quick Glance: IMF Warns of Fiscal Deficits in US and China

The IMF has warned the US that its massive fiscal deficits have stoked inflation and pose “significant risks” for the global economy.

Concerns were also raised about Chinese government debt, with the country projected to have a deficit of 7.6 per cent in 2025, more than double the average for other emerging markets.

In addition to the US and China, the fund named two more countries that “critically need to take policy action to address fundamental imbalances between spending and revenues”.

The IMF noted that “large and sudden increases” in US borrowing costs typically lead to surges in government bond yields globally and exchange rate turbulence in emerging markets and developing economies.

Quick Glance: Charges Filed Against UK Ex-Parliamentary Researcher for 'China Espionage'

London's Metropolitan Police has accused two men, researcher Christopher Cash and Christopher Berry, of violating the Official Secrets Act.

The charges coincided with the announcement of the arrest of three German nationals suspected of spying for China and accessing secret maritime technology by German investigators.

The British duo is alleged to have transmitted 'articles, notes, documents or information' to a foreign state between 2021 and the previous year.

In September, the Met Police disclosed the arrest of a man in his twenties on espionage suspicions. The Sunday Times revealed his parliamentary researcher identity.

Quick Glance: Lawsuit Alleges Grindr's Unauthorized HIV Status Disclosure

A group of 670 individuals have joined a class action lawsuit against LGBTQ+ dating app Grindr in the UK seeking damages for the alleged unauthorized disclosure of HIV status and other sensitive data to third parties.

The lawsuit claims that Grindr violated UK data protection laws by sharing user data without consent, particularly data disclosed before April 3, 2018, and between May 25, 2018, and April 7, 2020.

Researchers from SINTEF in 2018 published information indicating that Grindr was sharing user data, including HIV status, with analytics companies, sparking intense criticism and prompting changes to the company's privacy policy.

Grindr was fined 65 million Norwegian kroner for violating GDPR consent rules, leading to further legal issues in the US.
