Former President Biden spent two years saying that Trump was a danger to democracy and that he is a fascist.
He then turned around to treat him very warmly after he won—an unsurprising but still jarring development.
President Trump is now humiliating him and his presidency in his inaugural speech.
Absolute shocking video: Clarissa Ward and CNN team find a prisoner left behind in a secret Syrian prison, hiding under a blanket.

France's foreign policy has never been this shallow, reflexive and incoherent, detached from any national interest, slave to the news cycle.
I've witnessed this evolution over 25 years, during my own career. It carries lessons about diplomacy more broadly 🧵
« L'élection de Trump laisse voir l’abîme des frustrations. Un blanc-seing à la haine, au racisme, au sexisme et à la violence, inscrite dans la genèse de ce pays. »

A New Zealand airport has sparked debate around the world after it introduces time limit on hugs. It put up a new sign imposing a three-minute limit on hugs in its drop-off zone.
