Let’s take a look at what’s going on in the “world now”. In the UK, two senior ministers have resigned in protest at the current leadership. Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Health Minister Sajid Javid resigned on Tuesday in a blow to Prime Minister Boris Johnson. In their resignation letter, they said the government should be run correctly, competently and seriously (quote), and they lost confidence in Johnson’s leadership. Meanwhile, during the livestream, Conservative Party vice-chairman Bim Afolami announced he was also stepping down. The development comes after the latest scandal to rock Johnson’s government, with groping allegations against Tory deputy chief whip Chris Pincher emerging last week. Downing Street has been unable to explain Pincher’s position in the government because of previous allegations of misconduct and the ongoing investigation Johnson had known about when he promoted the former foreign minister. Johnson later admitted that the appointment of Pincher was a mistake. The incident comes as Johnson survived a confidence vote last month that showed 41 percent of his party rejecting support for a return to America’s Highland Park, where new information on the July 4 C-area mass shooting has emerged. Information on the outskirts of Hicargo has been released. The suspect, Robert Creamer III, fired more than 70 rounds from a rooftop location using an AR-15-style rifle, killing seven people and injuring more than 30, according to local authorities. They added that the suspect arrested on Monday night had legally purchased the weapon used in the shooting and had been planning the attack for weeks. He also disguised himself as a woman to evade capture, allowing him to hide his facial tattoos and blend in with the fleeing crowd after the shooting. Cremer has been charged with seven counts of first-degree murder and is expected to appear in court Wednesday. The European Parliament has approved two new laws aimed at transforming Europe’s digital landscape and reining in “big tech”. On Tuesday, members of parliament voted to implement the Digital Services Act and the Digital Markets Act. The bills aim to address issues such as the spread of disinformation, election interference and the consolidation of power by a handful of multinational corporations. The Digital Services Act will impose accountability rules on online platforms such as Google, Facebook and Amazon in response to increasing societal risks. The Digital Markets Act aims to ensure that so-called “digital gatekeepers” cannot abuse their power to the detriment of small businesses. Wimbledon made history when Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur became the first Arab player to reach a Grand Slam singles semifinal in the Open Era. She defeated Czech Marie Bouzkova in the quarterfinals on Tuesday, becoming the first African woman to reach the semi-finals since 1997. The world number two will play Germany’s Tatjana Maria on Thursday. Jabeur went on a winning streak on grass with a 10-game winning streak and a title in Berlin. Matthew Ashley, Arirang News.
