The world’s richest are leaving the poorest to deal with the global debt crisis alone

Mark Malloch-Brown is president of the Open Society Foundations, the world’s largest private human rights foundation, and the former U.N. Deputy Secretary-General.If the richest countries in the world can’t find the will to face the global debt crisis, what are the chances they’ll tackle the climate crisis?This is the question looming over this week’s G7 summit in Hiroshima, Japan.And as the leaders of the world’s richest countries meet, it is Malawi’s Finance Minister Sosten Gwengwe who should be at the forefront of their minds — though he probably won’t be.Malawi, an African nation of almost 20 million people, has the unfortunate distinction of being the poorest democratic nation on the planet. And at this year’s spring meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington, Gwengwe delivered a grim, personal account of what it’s like to be on the receiving end of an accelerating global debt crisis — as well as the impact being wrought on his country by...

No skeletons, please: The UK Conservative Party cleans house

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 02:16:04 GMT

LONDON — If Rishi Sunak’s mission is to make politics boring again, he needs to start with his own MPs. After a seemingly endless string of scandals involving Tory politicians — from parliamentary porn-viewing, to bullying and outright sexual assault — party chiefs are intent on cleaning up their image at the next general election.Sick of lurid headlines, officials in Tory HQ are beefing up the vetting procedure for would-be-MPs ahead of the next national poll, widely expected to take place in 2024.The aim is to replace a number of departing Tory MPs who — for a variety of reasons — found themselves embroiled in scandal with a slick new generation of scrupulously-vetted politicians.Anne Jenkin, a Tory peer who has led the drive to elect more female Conservatives, said the process of getting on the candidates’ list will be “far more stringent” and that “it would be harder to get through if you have a history of bad behavior.”“The powers that be are far more aware and far less to...

Russia strains to put off a Ukrainian counteroffensive

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 02:16:04 GMT

Jamie Dettmer is opinion editor at POLITICO Europe.Unveiling the hypersonic Kinzhal missile in 2018, Russian President Vladmir Putin had bragged it was almost impossible to intercept. But overnight Monday, Ukrainian commanders claimed to have shot down all half a dozen of the missiles tracking toward Kyiv. They also said Ukraine’s air defenses downed a dozen other missiles, as well as Iranian-made drones.So, not that hard to detect after all.Predictably, Moscow insisted all their missiles struck their intended targets — facilities storing ammunition, weapons and military equipment supplied by the West. But there’s no ground evidence to support this claim — although they did manage to hit a Patriot air-defense missile battery, with U.S. officials saying an assessment is now underway to see if the damage can be patched up quickly in situ.Even if a Patriot system was mangled, however, at first glance the overall impact of all the missiles expended by Russia on Monday — as well as the s...
