Appointment of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos

Hello everyone!

This week we start with an update on developments in the Trump administration, specifically the appointment of Betsy DeVos as Secretary of Education.

We touch on the questionable conviction of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, a police strike in the Brazilian state of Espirito Santo that has erupted into chaos and violence, as well as the retroactive approval of settlements in the West Bank by the Israeli government. To lighten things up a bit, we finish with a policy in Xi’an, China, that seeks to improve the welfare of drivers in the city.

Thanks for tuning in!
