Start your day smarter with a dossier on the most important world news, rounded
off with a shot of intriguing and offbeat stories. Like the president, you
deserve no less.

Feb 08, 2023


TODAY

President Joe Biden took on outspoken Republicans and China in a wide-ranging
State of the Union address. Survivors in Turkey and Syria said they’ve received
little assistance as the death toll hits 11,000. Somaliland weathered a second
day of violent clashes between government forces and militia groups. And the
Pentagon revealed China knocked back a phone call request from Washington. All
this and more in today’s PDB.





IMPORTANT

‘Unity’

STATE OF THE UNION: A RAUCOUS AFFAIR AS BIDEN TAKES CENTER STAGE

“The people sent us a clear message” for unity in politics, President Joe Biden
said during his second State of the Union address Tuesday. Part reflection on
the year that was and part stump speech for the 2024 elections, Biden sparred
with some of the more outspoken Republicans in the House. Georgia’s Marjorie
Taylor Greene heckled POTUS with “liar” as he alleged some Republicans have been
undermining Medicare and Social Security: “Contact my office,” he quipped. He
also briefly touched on China’s spy balloons that have rattled Washington in
recent weeks, saying that the U.S. wants “ competition, not conflict” with
China. (Sources: The Hill, NYT) 

Hungry Survivors

EARTHQUAKE DEATH TOLL PUSHES 11,000 AS ANGER SETS IN

Officials and rescue workers warn the death toll from Monday’s earthquake in
Turkey and Syria will grow significantly. It comes as anger mounts from
survivors who said they’ve been all but abandoned. “We survived the earthquake,
but we will die here due to hunger or cold here,” one resident of the southern
Turkish city of Antakya said. In Syria, a newborn baby was pulled from the
rubble still attached to her mother via the umbilical cord. Rescuers said she
was likely born after the earthquake hit. Her mother and the rest of the family
were killed. (Sources: The Guardian, Reuters, WaPo)

Battle Lines

24 KILLED IN SOMALILAND CLASHES, VIOLENCE DRAGS INTO SECOND DAY

Violence erupted Monday between militias and government forces in the contested
town of Las Anod. Hours earlier local elders had pledged support for “the unity
and integrity of the Somali Federal Republic” and urged militia groups to stand
down. Somaliland broke away from Somalia in 1991, but has struggled to gain
international recognition. U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk
slammed the violence, noting it comes just a month “after at least 20,000 people
were displaced by clashes in Las Anod” and could worsen the humanitarian crisis.
“Resolution will never be attained with guns,” Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh
Mohamud said. (Sources: France24, Reuters)

Hang-Ups

BEIJING REFUSES CALL WITH US AS SPY BALLOON SEARCH CONTINUES

Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe declined a phone call with U.S. Defense
Secretary Lloyd Austin after Washington shot down a suspected Chinese spy
balloon on the weekend, Pentagon officials said. “Our commitment to open lines
of communication will continue,” Pentagon spokesman Brigadier General Pat Ryder
said in a statement. Meanwhile, the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard are combing the
South Carolina coastline with underwater drones to find debris from the downed
balloon, which will eventually be sent to the FBI for analysis. U.S.
intelligence maintains that the balloon is linked to a global surveillance
program run by China. (Sources: Reuters, DW)

Briefly

HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TODAY: 

Memphis blue. A further eight police officers will face undisclosed charges in
the death of Tyre Nichols last month. An investigation into the death is
continuing with at least 13 officers charged with a range of offenses. (Source:
CBS News) Olympic ring. Prosecutors in Japan have nabbed a former senior Tokyo
Olympics official and three businessmen in a wide-sweeping probe into Olympic
bid-rigging. (Source: AFP) Kidnapped. A New Zealand pilot has been taken hostage
by separatists in Indonesia’s restive Papua region. Philip Mehrtens is “safe,”
his captors said, as Indonesia eyed a search and rescue mission. (Source: BBC)





INTRIGUING

Record-Setter

SORRY KAREEM, LEBRON JAMES IS OFFICIALLY THE GOAT

The LA Lakers superstar took a 14-foot jump shot in the third quarter against
Oklahoma City Thunder, exceeding Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s 38,387 career points. It
wasn’t enough for the Lakers to trump Thunder — losing 130-133 — but no one was
counting. Crypto.com Arena erupted into cheers of “MVP! MVP!” and the game
paused for around 10 minutes for James to celebrate with his family and
Abdul-Jabbar, who watched the shot from the sidelines. “To be able to be in the
presence of such a legend as great as Kareem, it’s very humbling. Please give a
standing ovation to the Captain, please,” an emotional James said. (Source:

Whose Line Is It?

GOOGLE, MICROSOFT FIRE OPENING SALVOS IN A.I. CHAT WARS

Google employees will get to work testing Bard, the tech giant’s answer to
ChatGPT, from next week, according to CEO Sundar Pichai. Pressure has been
building on the company to develop an artificial intelligence-powered chatbot
since Microsoft-backed OpenAI ChatGPT took the internet by storm. “We’re looking
forward to getting all of your feedback — in the spirit of an internal
hackathon,” Pichai wrote. Microsoft won’t be resting on its laurels. It’s moving
on to the “next generation” of A.I. with a slated overhaul of search engine Bing
and the Edge browser. The unnamed project will be “customized specifically for
search,” Microsoft executives said. (Sources: CNBC, Techcrunch)

Unleashing Hell

GLACIER MELTING WILL IMPACT 15 MILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE

Lakes formed by melting glaciers could spark sudden and devastating flooding,
researchers at England’s Newcastle University warned. High Mountain Asia,
spanning India and Pakistan, is at threat with around 9 million people at risk,
but Peru and China will be most affected. The planet has seen a 50% increase in
glacier lakes in the last 30 years as global warming — twice as fast in
mountainous regions — takes a toll. Glacier lakes are dammed only by loose
sediment and other debris, and a breakthrough can come suddenly. Half of the
world’s 215,000 glaciers are expected to melt by the end of the century.

Taking the Mickey

THE ‘WOKEST’ PLACE ON EARTH WILL RETAIN SPECIAL FLORIDA STATUS

The feud between Disney and Florida Gov. Ron de Santis has reached a detente,
allowing the company to keep many of its perks as an independent special
district. This despite the introduction of a new bill dissolving special tax
districts formed before 1968 — widely seen as targeting Disney. The company had
spoken out against some of de Santis’ more aggressive culture-war laws,
including a “Don’t Say Gay” law, barring teaching on sexual orientation and
gender identity in schools. In exchange for keeping benefits — including huge
tax breaks — Disney will be expected to temper its criticism of the governor,
Florida Rep. Anna Eskamani said. (Source: Hollywood Reporter)

Party Pooper

NEW ZEALAND’S OCEAN DISCOVERY A BLOW TO INTERNATIONAL SYNDICATE

A discovery of 3.5 tons of cocaine floating in a remote part of the Pacific
Ocean would have been worth about $316 million wholesale, New Zealand Police
Commissioner Andrew Coster said Wednesday. Police said the haul was likely bound
for neighboring Australia and was tossed overboard at a designated transit site.
It was later spotted by law enforcement as part of a special operation launched
in December. “We believe there was enough cocaine to service the Australian
market for about one year, and this would be more than New Zealand would use in
30 years,” Coster said. The cocaine will be processed and destroyed. (Source:
