North Korea says it tested cruise missile system and vows ‘toughest’ response to US
SUMMARY: North Korea conducted a cruise missile test, claiming it as a response to increased U.S.-South Korean military drills, which they perceive as provocations. The test, overseen by Kim Jong Un, successfully hit targets after following complex flight patterns. North Korea described its missile capabilities as increasingly advanced and vowed to respond forcefully to perceived threats. The U.S. and South Korea maintain their drills are defensive, but experts warn North Korea’s developing nuclear arsenal may alter its negotiation stance. Former President Trump has expressed interest in contacting Kim again, stirring concerns in South Korea about changes in U.S. military commitment and strategy.

Georgia lawmaker proposes new childcare safety measures after toddler’s tragic death
SUMMARY: Following the tragic choking death of 16-month-old Jamal Bryant Jr. at a now-closed Brunswick daycare, Georgia lawmaker Rick Townsend is advocating for enhanced safety measures at childcare facilities. His proposed bill would mandate the availability of portable airway clearance devices to help remove obstructions from children’s airways. It also requires all childcare employees to be CPR-certified within 45 days of employment. Townsend emphasizes the need for these measures due to the vulnerability of young children and highlights the potential that these resources might have saved Jamal’s life. Additionally, he plans to introduce a bill for minimum liability insurance at childcare centers.

Trump should rethink revoking former officials’ security details, Tom Cotton says
SUMMARY: Sen. Tom Cotton, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, urged President Trump to reconsider removing security protection from three former senior officials: John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, and Brian Hook. Cotton argued that their security is vital not only for them but also for the public, given ongoing threats from Iran due to their involvement in the 2020 drone strike on Gen. Qasem Soleimani. Trump had revoked their protection despite the Biden administration’s extension of security due to credible threats. Cotton emphasized that Trump’s decision could hinder future recruitment of qualified advisers for his administration.
