Behind inflation, Danes worry climate change, as well as health care and the state of the economy.

Eritrea’s government remains one of the world’s most repressive, subjecting its population to widespread forced labor and conscription, imposing restrictions on freedom of expression, opinion, and faith, and restricting independent scrutiny by international monitors.

Since then, Russia's economy has tanked and many men of military fighting age have left Russia in search of more food, energy, and safety. Multiple sanctions have been placed on Russia since the beginning of the war and instead of an expected growth of around 4% for 2022-2023, Russia's economy is expected to decline by 8% over those two years. Sanctions have hit production in key sectors very hard and it will take a long time for Russia to recover, even after the war has ended.

After fighter jets shot one of the balloons down, China aggressively accused the US of overreacting to the supposed mishap of the country's technology.

Inadequate access to clean, safe drinking water continues to pose a major public health concern in many Indigenous communities—and continues to impede efforts to advance Indigenous rights in Canada, one of the world’s most water-rich countries.

The government committed to end all drinking water advisories on First Nations reserves by 2021 but, as of September, more than 30 First Nations communities across Canada remained subject to long-term water advisories, which alert communities when their water is not safe to drink. In July, an CDN$8 million settlement agreement was reached in two class action lawsuits against the federal government brought by First Nations communities living under drinking water advisories.
