Feb 06, 2023


TODAY

A pair of massive earthquakes left at least 1,400 people dead in a region of
Turkey and Syria that’s already been devastated by war. Biden may have shot the
balloon down but the finger-pointing continues. An ongoing corruption scandal
appears to have toppled Ukraine’s defense minister. And Britain’s bracing for
its largest ever health care strike today. All this and more in today’s PDB.





IMPORTANT

Misery Upon Misery

7.8 AND 7.5 MAGNITUDE QUAKES HIT 9 HOURS APART, AT LEAST 1,400 DEAD

The first quake struck at 4:17 a.m. local time, near the Turkish provincial
capital of Gaziantep and only 25 miles from the Syrian border — in a region
already ravaged by a decadelong war and in the throes of an icy blizzard. At
least 900 people were killed in 10 Turkish provinces, 371 in government-held
parts of Syria and 211 in opposition-held areas. The second quake hit shortly
after lunchtime, near the Turkish town of Ekinozu some 65 miles north of
Gaziantep. It’s too early to tell how much damage they caused but the death toll
from both quakes is expected to rise significantly. (Sources: Al Jazeera, AP)

Long Shadow

US DOWNS CHINESE BALLOON OVER ATLANTIC, POLITICAL RIPPLES CONTINUE

Republicans accused President Joe Biden of recklessness for waiting until the
craft had passed over American territory before authorizing the Air Force to
shoot it down. Biden sought to down the balloon, which was the size of three
buses, on Wednesday, but was advised to wait. But Sen. Ted Cruz accused him of
risking national security by allowing the airship to meander thousands of miles
across the U.S., taking in key military facilities along the way. Meanwhile, the
Defense Department offered to brief Trump administration officials about several
balloon incursions that occurred during his presidency but were only reported
recently. (Sources: WaPo, Politico, AP)

Heads Must Roll

UKRAINE TO REPLACE DEFENSE MINISTER AS RUSSIAN OFFENSIVE LOOMS

A close ally of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed Sunday that Defense
Minister Oleksii Reznikov would be replaced by spy chief Kyrylo Budanov.
Reznikov, who once likened wartime corruption to “marauding,” became embroiled
in a corruption scandal of his own when it emerged his ministry had paid
inflated prices for army food supplies. While Budanov has impressive military
credentials, presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak admitted that former lawyer
Reznikov’s “wonderful” personal relations with NATO allies would be missed.
“Negotiations are not just mathematical formulae but also personal
relationships,” Podolyak said. “Unfortunately, today we are losing a measure of
trust in us.” (Source: Reuters)

Blue Monday

ENGLAND BRACES FOR ITS BIGGEST HEALTH CARE STRIKE EVER

Tens of thousands of nurses and ambulance workers are walking out this week:
Wednesday is the only day no English health care employees will strike. Unlike
in Scotland and Wales, English leaders have refused to look at National Health
Service pay packages until next year — despite a decade of below-inflation
increases. Union leader Sharon Graham stated “categorically that there have been
no conversations on pay whatsoever with [Prime Minister] Rishi Sunak or [Health
Minister] Steven Barclay about this dispute in any way, shape, or form. They
dance round their handbag, dance round the edges, but they will not talk about
pay.” (Sources: The Guardian, BBC)

Briefly

HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TODAY: 

Big 3-0. A Portuguese pooch has broken a century-old record to become the oldest
dog ever. At 30 years, 226 days, Bobi’s considerably older than the previous
record-holder — and he’s still going strong. (Source: BBC) Long illness. Pervez
Musharraf, Pakistan’s former military ruler, died in Dubai Sunday. The
79-year-old, once a key Western ally in the fight against terrorism, had fallen
out of favor back home. (Source: NYT) Tragic mystery. The head of Britain's
“Independent School of the Year” was found dead alongside her husband and
7-year-old daughter. Police believed the deaths were an “isolated incident” with
no third-party involvement. (Source: The Guardian)





INTRIGUING

Run the World

BEYONCÉ BREAKS GRAMMY RECORD, HARRY STYLES WINS BEST ALBUM

Beyoncé won four awards at last night’s ceremony, taking her lifetime tally to
32 — one better than late Hungarian British conductor George Solti. “I’m trying
not to be too emotional. I’m trying to just receive this night,” she said after
winning trophy number 32 for best dance/electronic album. She added, “I’d like
to thank the queer community for your love, for inventing the genre.” The
megastar once again missed out on album of the year, however. That honor went to
Harry’s House. “This doesn't happen to people like me very often,” Styles said,
“and this is so, so nice.” (Sources: BBC, Elle)

Mea Culpa

ARISTOCRATIC BRITISH FAMILY TO APOLOGIZE FOR SLAVERY, PAY REPARATIONS

In 2016, John Dower was working on his family tree when he discovered his
ancestors had owned 1,004 slaves across six estates in Grenada — and the family
received the equivalent of $24 million in today’s money as compensation when
slavery was abolished. “I was more than shocked, I was badly shaken,” said Dower
— who then informed the rest of the family, including his cousin, BBC
correspondent Laura Trevelyan. So far, 42 Trevelyan family members have signed a
letter of apology and they’ve pledged $120,000 for reparations. They’re urging
the British government and King Charles III to follow their lead. (Source: The
Guardian)

Yummy Mummies

2,500-YEAR-OLD EGYPTIAN EMBALMING WORKSHOP IS FULL OF SURPRISES

Scientists seeking to understand the ancient Egyptian embalming process
previously had to look to historical texts or the mummies themselves. That’s
changed with the excavation of an entire embalming workshop, complete with
labeled jars of ingredients. Some of the jars contained substances already
linked to mummification such as juniper, cedar and cypress extracts. But
researchers were amazed to discover two resins from much further afield: one
from Asian and African rainforests and another from India and Sri Lanka. The
findings are “absolutely amazing” said mummy specialist Salima Ikram — who now
wants to work out how the resins got to Egypt. (Source: Nature)

‘The Biscuit Is So Delicious’

MEET NORTH KOREA’S STATE-SPONSORED YOUTUBE INFLUENCERS

Last year YuMi posted her first YouTube video. In English she told viewers that
all the desserts she tried at a Pyongyang ice cream parlor were produced by Oil
General Health Drinks Factory as part of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s drive
to “contribute to the health improvement of the people.” Since then, YuMi’s
worked out in a gym, gone angling in the Taedong River and visited an amusement
park that, experts say, only operates occasionally due to the country’s
electricity crisis. She’s one of several English-speaking vloggers to grace the
platform with gentle North Korean propaganda in recent months. (Source: CNN)

Cry Wolf

911 DISPATCHERS FLOORED BY FALSE CALLS FROM SKIERS’ APPLE WATCHES

Between Jan. 13 and Jan. 22 the emergency call center in Summit County,
Colorado, received 185 distress calls — twice as many as usual, and largely
false alarms triggered by skiers’ Apple watches. Apple says its fall detection
technology saves lives, though the erratic movements made by skiers clearly
confuse it. Wearers are given a chance to cancel the 911 call, but “a lot of
people don’t feel it or hear it,” said Aspen emergency services official Brett
Loeb. “Or they think, ‘I don’t want to answer my phone right now — I’m having a
great time; my phone is killing my buzz.’” (Source: NYT)
