Hard truths on climate, education & poverty, from the UN’s Secretary-General

Global political division, a culture of impunity and a vacuum of consequences ... Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine making climate change a “kind of second-order issue” (even as 50 million Pakistanis have been displaced by flooding, and more than 1,000 killed) - with "irreversible consequences" and "irreparable damage" coming "very soon" - "a world that is facing destruction everywhere" ... the threat that the world may not have enough food in 2023 due to fertilizer shortages ... there's a lot of bad news in the world, as UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres discusses with Ian Bremmer on GZERO World.

Big democracies that depend on Russia

Western leaders love to say that Russia's war in Ukraine is a fight for democracy itself. But not all of the world's democracies agree. India, the world's largest democracy, remains neutral and keeps buying Russian arms and oil. In Brazil, the two frontrunners for the presidency are soft on Vladimir Putin. Why? Russian fertilizer. More than half of African countries won't condemn Russia's invasion, and wheat may have something to do with it. Framing Ukraine as a battle between democracy and autocracy sounds great, but the reality is more complicated.
