Warning labels for alcohol, Liberals want a new leader, votes for a U.S. speaker, and more
Description
The U.S. Surgeon General says alcoholic drinks should come with a warning label about the risk they carry of causing cancer. Vivek Murthy also wants the guidelines on alcohol consumption limits reassessed. He says people need to be better informed before buying the drinks so they can weigh the cancer risk. His proposal for a label requires an approval from the U.S. Congress.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is back in Ottawa and pressure is mounting for him to go. He made a brief public appearance to sign a book of condolences for former U.S. president
Jimmy Carter, who died days ago, but he didn’t say anything.
And: U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson was reelected to the top job. But only by a hair. He was able to flip two holdouts and won reelection with the minimum number of votes needed: 218.
Also: South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol avoided arrest on Friday after an almost six-hour standoff between investigators trying to detain him and presidential guards. He is the first sitting president in South Korea to have an arrest warrant issued for him. He is under criminal investigation for insurrection for his short-lived martial law decree.
