The Czech Republic has more new Covid-19 cases per million people recorded than in any other major country in the world.

This Ukrainian couple moved up their wedding to the day the Russian invasion started. On the second day, they armed themselves and started getting ready to defend their country.
These nasty little projectiles are called flechettes. They were used in WWI and were designed to strike as many enemy soldiers as possible. In March, Russia sprayed them on civilian areas north of Kyiv. People in Irpin are still finding them everywhere.
CNN Exclusive: The first independent legal report into Russia’s war on Ukraine says there is overwhelming evidence that Russia is inciting genocide and committing genocidal atrocities in Ukraine.
Coronavirus is killing more men. But the lockdown is disastrous for women and their rights. From a spike in domestic violence and restricted access to family-planning services to disproportionate economic impact, the lockdown measures are hurting women.

Russian troops in the occupied city of Melitopol have stolen farm equipment and shipped it to Chechnya … only to find out they were unable to use any of the machinery because it had been locked remotely.
Selhani ceskych medii? Jinak si to nedovedu vysvetlit. Vic nez polovina lidi si bud neni jista nebo rovnou neveri tomu, ze klimaticka krize skutecne existuje. CR je nejvetsim odmitacem v Evrope.

Kateryna’s store in Kyiv was destroyed in a Russian strike yesterday, but she tells me she’s not afraid. Confident Ukraine will win, she makes supplies for the defenders. “The two things a Ukrainian woman needs to know is how to make borscht and Molotovs.”
The Covid-19 death toll in my country, the Czech Republic, has topped 20,000 today. Of each 535 Czechs alive at the beginning of the pandemic, one has now died of the virus. That's one of the worst tolls globally. 20,000 smiles nobody will ever see again. I am heartbroken. 🇨🇿❤️

are publicly protesting the appointment of Jitka Obzinová as the new head of news. In her previous job, she ordered reporters to portray migrants as a threat.
"They were telling me it's all in my head." For many sufferers of long Covid, proving they are sick is a big part of the battle.

Tragic. The Taliban government has suspended university education for all female students in Afghanistan, the latest step in its brutal clampdown on the rights and freedoms of Afghan women.

A Davos panel on disability inclusion. In my five years of covering the annual meetings, I’ve never seen a room so empty. Next time a business leader says they care about disability, I’ll be reminding myself of this fiasco.
CNN's investigative journalists work 24/7 right now to find, verify and geolocate videos, photos and information coming from the ground in Ukraine. (They really are the smartest, most brilliant nerds!) Here,

I was allowed into Gaza, getting a glimpse of the devastation of Khan Younis. I was accompanied by the Israeli military, which means I was only able to see what they allowed me to see. And yet the destruction I witnessed was unimaginable. Here's my report.

celkem zásadní roli. Českému týmu se totiž v Egyptě podařilo sjednotit Evropu v ožehavé otázce fondu pro nejohroženější země, což výrazně pomohlo odblokování klimatických jednání mezi skoro 200 zeměmi.

Too scared to walk home from the train station last night. It's only 15 minutes, but it's dark, it was very late and I didn't feel safe. Took a cab, paid £9 for a five minute journey. Being a woman is expensive. Sigh.

Václav Havel died 10 years ago today. So go and raise a glass to his memory, he would no doubt like that a lot more than a long speech about his legacy. I was lucky to meet him a few times, once as a wide-eyed intern when he was guest-editing

Here is official statistics from Germany's interior ministry. Number of crimes reached the lowest since 1992 last year. Crime rate per head was the lowest in 30 years.
The people of Germany are turning against their leadership as migration is rocking the already tenuous Berlin coalition. Crime in Germany is way up. Big mistake made all over Europe in allowing millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture!
Massive kudos to the heroic team of volunteers at

Vaccine hoarding is coming back to bite us. Here's how the failure of the rich world to share doses with developing countries has made the new Omicron coronavirus variant more likely.
Russian dissidents have been living a perpetual cycle of panic, horror, shame and self-doubt: “You’re constantly torn apart: Are you to blame? Did you not do enough? Can you do something else or not, and how should you act now?”

The copyright law debate has been VERY emotional. Supporters say the law is needed to restore the balance of power between artists and Big Tech.
Critics warn of dire consequences: warning the law could signal the end of internet memes and Google News.
I'll never forget the first moments of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. There was a loud bang and the chandelier in our workspace shook. Now, 582 days later, we are as committed as ever to continue reporting on Moscow's aggression.

Nicholas Winton worked tirelessly to save Czechoslovak children by bringing them to the UK. May mentioned him in her resignation speech after working tirelessly as the Home Secretary and the Prime Minister on creating hostile environment for migrants. Just putting it out there.
