    Your Shortcut to... Remembrance Day

    At 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month was the time in 1918 when the guns on Europe’s Western Front fell silent after more than 4 years of war. And to this day, we are encouraged to observe one minute’s silence in memory of those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts. So in this Squiz Shortcut, we give you a quick guide to WWI and how it ended, how its commemoration was observed after the war, and what it means today. Squiz recommends: Scrolling: Photo gallery of the centenary celebrations of the end of WWI Scrolling: Photo gallery of the first Armistice Day in 1918 Check out: The Australian War Memorial - The Menin Gate lions Squiz Shortcuts is your backstory to the big news stories.

    Your Shortcut to... the US Election Part 5: The result

    It’s been run and done - the US presidential election for 2024 has delivered victory to the Republicans and Donald Trump, and defeat to the Democrats and Kamala Harris. This week, we’ll get you across where Trump won and who voted for him, along with what the experts are saying about Harris’s defeat. And we’ll take a look at what comes next, including for the criminal cases pending against Trump…  Squiz Recommends Reading: The thing that best sums up Trump’s victory are the swings he achieved in those key states. Axios has a series of graphs that show at a glance how the trend was in his favour.  Reading: This election has been huge not just in America but also around the world - and in space. The American astronauts on the International Space Station got to vote, so in the interest of levity, here’s an article on how that works.  If you’d like to listen to Parts 1-4 of our series, here are the links to do that: Part 1: How US elections work Part 2: The big domestic issues Part 3: The international issues Part 4: Getting ready to vote Want the email version?
