Haitian president killed in attack at home
Mr Moïse's time in office was rocky as he faced accusations of corruption and was challenged by waves of often violent anti-government protests.

There were widespread protests in the capital and other cities earlier this year, as people demanded his resignation.

Haiti's opposition said that Mr Moïse's five-year term should have ended on 7 February 2021, five years to the day since Mr Martelly stepped down.

Mr Moïse, however, insisted he had one more year to serve as he did not take office until 7 February 2017.

Putin really is putting the band Soviet Union back together.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Sets up pretty much like a few of the most recent elections in France. 18% and 34% for the LePens in those ones.

Fears over Russian threat to Norway's energy infrastructure
STAVANGER, Norway (AP) — Norwegian oil and gas workers normally don’t see anything more threatening than North Sea waves crashing against the steel legs of their offshore platforms. But lately they have noticed a more troubling sight: unidentified drones buzzing in the skies overhead.

With Norway replacing Russia as Europe's main source of natural gas, military experts suspect the unmanned aircraft are Moscow's doings. They list espionage, sabotage and intimidation as possible motives for the drone flights.

The Norwegian government has sent warships, coastguard vessels and fighter jets to patrol around the offshore facilities. Norway's national guard stationed soldiers around onshore refineries that also were buzzed by drones.

Netanyahu
If the right-wing bloc does cement an election victory, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving prime minister, will return to office even as he stands trial on corruption charges.
Things like this and the constant changing of Italian governments is a direct result of systems of proportional representation where a party with 3% of the vote gets representation. And that's up from 2% in previous elections.

He was on Real Time with Bill Maher a couple weeks back. No mention of the corruption stuff at all. Shocking, I know.

He was talking to him about anti semitism and something else. I wasn't listening to the podcast intently enough because I listen on 1.7x speed. Here's a small part of the interview:

I hate Maher and I would run Netanyahu over if I saw him on the street, so I'll have to give that video a pass. (Heart condition and all that...)
