1. ANALYSIS |
What will a diminished Russia do?
Russia's war in the Ukraine has shown almost all assumptions wrong and has left Europe wondering what is left to assume.
The challenge now is to deal with Russia in a state of chaotic denial, while waiting for it to evolve into a state of controlled decline.
Nick Paton Walsh's analysis of what could come.
2. Lula begins to undo Bolsonaro's legacy
Lula da Silva assumed the presidency of Brazil on January 1.
On his first day, the president reversed the measures of the Jair Bolsonaro government: he revoked the easing of firearms and ammunition controls, reestablished the Amazon Fund, and decreed a federal monthly benefit whose name was once again Bolsa Família.
3. The minimum wage in the US in 2023
American workers could see their wages rise 4.3% in 2023, a figure that could represent the highest increase in 15 years, according to a survey by consulting firm Willis Towers Watson.
So are the figures.

It will be a difficult year for Trump
Many of the problems that dogged Trump in 2022 will not end with the start of the new year, and could even worsen.
His company, convicted of tax fraud in late 2022, also faces civil charges from the New York attorney general in 2023. And investigations into the Capitol storming and efforts to quash the election remain ongoing.
5. This year's holidays in your country
In 2023, in several countries, there will be enough space to schedule breaks: in Argentina, for example, this year there will be 19 holidays, including immovable, portable and tourist days.
In Colombia there will be even more.
Look at the holidays in Argentina, Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela.
