What Actually Mattered This Week: a G20 Gathering and a Brexit Breakthrough
WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERED THIS WEEK
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken talked to Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergey Lavrov at this week’s G20 meeting in New Delhi (the highest level in person talks between U.S. and Russia in months).
His 3 main points:
Why only now when they’re under the gun? This is unacceptable.
Every social media company needs to take responsibility for younger users.
Some highlights of the “Windsor Framework” agreement on the United Kingdom’s post-Brexit Northern Ireland protocol with the European Union:
Congratulations to the United Kingdom for finally preparing to conclude Brexit.
Is Russia paying for it?

THE GZERO WORLD WE’RE JUST LIVING IN
GRAPHIC TRUTH
YOUR GZERO WORLD
What a difference a year makes. As the world marks the first anniversary of the war in Ukraine, Zelensky's military performed far better against Russia than even some of its staunchest supporters expected when the war began. And Putin's illegal invasion of a sovereign neighbor has rallied the West to Kyiv's cause.
I was on the ground in Germany for the annual Munich Security Conference to ask world leaders how much further the West is willing to go in its support for Ukraine.
Estonia’s Prime Minister Kaja Kallas has been called Europe’s new Iron Lady, and says no Russian war crime should go unpunished. And NATO’s Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoan? offers a candid assessment of a war that has no clear end in sight. Ian speaks to them both.
For a longer, wider-ranging version of my interview with Kallas?and Geoan? check out the GZERO World podcast.

WHAT TO READ THIS WEEK
Jeanna Smialek’s “Limitless” is a remarkable book that takes readers inside one of America’s most important and least well-understood institutions: the Federal Reserve. You don’t have to be a finance wonk to come away from this layman-friendly and engaging story with a much clearer understanding of how the Fed actually works. ?

Kind of hoping w border issues Ireland would reunite...but seems to be fading if more open borders now.COVID from lab issue,is HOW it was stated,was problem 2 yrs ago.COVID is from Bats as opposed to what they were trying to say was engineered"in China lab."Always made sense they were working on variety of virus&potential vaxs,& it could have been ACCIDENTAL exposure that spread.But again conspiracies were saying it was engineered in lab,then released from lab.So social media could not really do much but cut any chatter on alleging it was engineered or intentional lab made or released.China doctor who originally leaked info of COVIDs virus structure to world which ultimately then he was found dead,was done so world could better work on vax as he put science/medicine&world health over China wanting to keep everything in China...IN China.Virus spreads/mutates med people know this danger,so goal faster stopping will save many.Which they did figure vax out quickly as worked on SARS virus& mRNA vaccines&others for 40 yrs.Then took manufacturing&testing that took the time.Most likely scenario is someone was exposed to virus from Bat,whether in lab or outside lab as origination.If was in lab,argument is was it intentional or accidental?
