Claudius also manipulates public sentiment by marrying Gertrude quickly, aiming to quell any unrest and maintain loyalty among the nobility.

Well, the actual Scene 3 of the play is where Laertes leaves for France.But the question must refer to Act 3 scene 3, the "Prayer Scene." Hamlet gets Claudius alone, but Claudius is praying (without knowing Hamlet is there.) Hamlet decides not to kill Claudius, while Claudius is praying, because he's afraid it would only send Claudius straight to Heaven, and Hamlet doesn't think that would be revenge, instead it would be more like rewarding Claudius.

The King (Claudius) - Act IV Scene vii
What news does king claudius announce at the opening of scene?
I'm going to guess that you are asking about Act 1 Scene 2. In this scene Claudius talks about his marriage to Gertrude and Young Fortinbras's planned invasion of Denmark. But these are not news, since they are "what you know", facts already well-known to those there. Indeed, Horatio showed in the previous scene that he knew about them. The new part is Claudius's strategy to find a diplomatic solution to this problem, by raising a complaint with the invalid king of Norway, whose subjects Fortinbras is poaching for his private army.
Why does Hamlet not kill the king in act 3?
Well, the basic reason is that they're not in the Chapel. The setting is Claudius's private room, the King's Room. That's stated in the play dialogue. Guildenstern says it: "(the king) is in his retirement..." It's reference to the place Claudius retires for the night, his private quarters. When Claudius left the 'Mousetrap' play, he went to his own room. Claudius prays during the scene, and apparently the idea of praying has led some people to think the scene is in the Chapel, however, the actual play dialogue tells us otherwise. People don't have to be in a chapel to pray, and many people pray in their own rooms, of course, which is what Claudius does. Hamlet is discouraged from killing Claudius because he finds Claudius praying. Hamlet is afraid that if he kills Claudius at prayer, Claudius's soul will go straight to Heaven. However, the Ghost said, or very strongly implied, that the soul of Hamlet's father was in Purgatory. Hamlet doesn't see it as fair, that he could send Claudius to Heaven, when his own father is in Purgatory. Hamlet decides to wait for another opportunity later, when there's less chance of sending Claudius's soul to Heaven.
