Trust is your own stride, Luck’s but a fleeting whisper, Confidence shouts loud.
Good morning, William! Here’s your morning briefing for today.
Things to catch up on
Today, in Lincoln, UK, it looks like broken clouds with a current temperature of about 10.52°C. Overall for today though, it’ll be more of the same but cool down to an average of 9.8°C.
In global news, tensions are rising as Israel cancels a White House visit following the US’s decision not to block a UN ceasefire vote. The UN Security Council has passed a resolution for an immediate ceasefire in the Middle East crisis, though Israel’s refusal of aid is causing concern, with one UNRWA official calling it a ‘death sentence’. Shifting to Lincoln news, rapper Digga D’s court case has been adjourned after being arrested in a police raid near Lincoln. On a positive note, the Lincolnshire Business Excellence Awards 2024 are now open for entries. Finally, in mathematical news, there are intriguing developments exploring the intersection of mathematics with areas such as particle physics, decision-making, wildlife conservation, and number theory.
