Taking aim at ghost guns

The Economist 

ACROSS AMERICA, police departments are seeing ghosts—the gun kind. “Ghost guns” are privately made firearms that do not have serial numbers and are therefore impossible to trace if they are used to commit a crime.

A primary in Ohio shows the strength of mainstream, moderate Democrats

The Economist 

CHEERS ERUPTED across the restaurant patio, the night air thick with cigar smoke. Young men in yarmulkes and African-American retirees clinked plastic cups of whisky. They were toasting the victory on August 3rd of Shontel Brown (pictured), Cuyahoga County’s Democratic Party chair, in the primary for the special congressional election in Ohio’s 11th district. The seat is reliably Democratic, so Ms Brown is set to become its congresswoman after the general election in November.

A martial-arts star’s comeback is a boost for Chechnya’s dictator

The Economist 

HE VOWS TO “smash the faces” of his “chicken” foes and floored his last victim with one punch. Chechen-born Khamzat Chimaev, known as the borz (“wolf”), fights as ferociously as his nickname suggests. He was one of the world’s hottest mixed-martial arts (MMA) stars in 2020, before being laid low by a tough opponent: a brutal bout of covid-19. He considered retiring, but was dissuaded—not by his coach or sponsors, but reportedly by Ramzan Kadyrov, Chechnya’s ruler. In July Mr Chimaev announced that... Читать дальше...

Turkey’s deadly fires raise the heat for Erdogan

The Economist 

THE FIRES crept up the hills, scattered and grew, helped by the wind, and raced down towards the shore. In some places, desperate locals rushed to the sea, filling up plastic buckets with water to ward off the flames approaching their homes. Others ran or drove for their lives. The sky turned grey, then orange. By the time the smoke had cleared, stretches of Turkey’s coastal paradise, once covered in pine forests and olive trees, were in ashes.

Malaysia’s politics are rotten from the top

The Economist 

IN KUALA LUMPUR, the chief city, as elsewhere in Malaysia, white flags hang from windows—cries of help from households for whom the pandemic has brought economic distress and even too little to eat. For the relatively prosperous country’s success in handling the coronavirus in 2020 has turned to calamity this year, with over 1.1m infections and a tardy roll-out of vaccines.

The Burmese army is making a bad pandemic worse

The Economist 

THAN THAN SOE has not had a day off since covid-19 began charging through Myanmar at the end of May. She runs a charity in Yangon, Myanmar’s biggest city, which transports covid patients to hospitals and corpses to cemeteries. Her organisation collects as many as 60 bodies a day. “We are very tired but we keep going,” says Ms Than Than Soe. Two volunteers recently got infected and died.

Snake sightings are becoming increasingly common in Mumbai

The Economist 

“IT’S BEEN raining snakes amid the recent heavy downpour,” reported the Mumbai edition of the Times of India on July 26th, in a news piece about a rock python which “refused to be evicted” from an autorickshaw. The same paper contained reports of three other pythons rescued from a shipping container, and yet another that was found trapped in a fisherman’s net. A lost python spotted on a city beach made the papers the next day. Later that week a 28-year-old man found a snake in the distant suburbs... Читать дальше...

Pacific countries face more complex problems than sinking

The Economist 

“HOW DOES a nation survive being swallowed by the sea?” So went the tagline for “Anote’s Ark”, a documentary film following Anote Tong, then president of Kiribati, as he toured the world warning that his islands were drowning. In 2014, he bought 20 square kilometres of land in Fiji, for Kiribati’s 120,000-odd people to move to as a “last resort”.

Refugees in east Africa go hungry as funds dry up

The Economist 

AT A FOOD distribution centre in Bidibidi, a refugee settlement in Uganda, a handwritten cardboard sign tells refugees their maize ration: 15kg for two months. That works out to 250 grams a day, to go with 60 grams of beans, a splash of oil and half a teaspoon of salt. A day after receiving hers, Ito Juani has already used some of it to repay a loan of cassava that got her through a lean spell. “The world has given up on us,” she says.

Zambia heads towards a pivotal election

The Economist 

FOR EDGAR LUNGU, Zambia’s president, elections on August 12th would seem to come at an inauspicious time. Over the six years since he took office in 2015, the economy has on average grown at a slower rate than the population. Last year Africa’s second-largest copper producer had its first recession since 1998. Inflation is at its highest level in 19 years. In July food prices were almost a third higher than a year before. In a poll published in May by Afrobarometer, a research group, more than... Читать дальше...

Is Evo Morales staging a comeback in Bolivia?

The Economist 

AT A CRAFT fair in a rich neighbourhood of La Paz, Bolivia’s administrative capital, Paula Maceda, a 22-year-old selling home-made rucksacks, sighs as the topic of the government comes up. “We are sick of politics,” she says. “We want jobs, vaccines, food.” In 2019 she was at university when signs of fraud in an election apparently won by the leftist president, Evo Morales, led to weeks of protests. After the police and army withdrew their support, Mr Morales resigned and fled to Mexico. In El Alto... Читать дальше...

In Uruguay few descendants of Russian émigrés want to leave

The Economist 

NEAR THE banks of the River Uruguay, Tatyana Bochkariov, a mother of six, wears a colourful talichka, a type of dress typical in 19th-century Russia. Her eight-year-old son Pavel climbs an orange tree in front of the family home and calls out to his mother in Russian, his first language. Only a few trappings of modernity—their fleece jackets, gas-powered heating and Pavel’s toys—distinguish the family from the Russian peasants who came to Uruguay a hundred years ago.

How Britain became an Olympic power

The Economist 

THE MODERN Olympic Games were founded to celebrate amateur sporting ideals. But times change. These days, success takes money and a hard-nosed attitude to doling it out. Few countries prove this as well as Britain, which has spent 25 years shaping up from an Olympic also-ran to a medal-winning power.
