First it was a stadium fiasco, then a blame game. Now will political football lead to sackings?

May 31, 2022 Do sanctions work? EU bets on oil embargo while Moscow blocks grain exports
It took one month of haggling for the European Union to agree on a Russian oil embargo that offers an exemption for holdout Hungary. How big or how small a caveat?

Two years of crises have changed almost everything we thought we knew about business and politics, including how they intersect.

May 26, 2022 Will Colombia look left? Presidential race focuses on inequality, enduring violence
Is a peace generation coming of age in Colombia? Six years after the FARC rebellion laid down its arms and one year after student-led protests against inequality and police brutality, citizens will vote on Sunday in the first round of a presidential election where the 2016 peace deal that ended the Americas' longest civil war is but one factor. For the very first time in the country's history, the left could come to power.

May 25, 2022 In the name of freedom? Texas shooting fuels fury over weaponsation of America
Twenty-seven school shootings have taken place since the start of the year in the United States. Ten days after Buffalo, the news cycle turns to Texas with the familiar ritual of shock, grief and outrage before counter-arguments about mental health and the responsibility of parents.
