It was an honor to be @washingtonpost's first Sydney bureau chief. Unfortunately, I'm also the last. The paper is shrinking foreign coverage. I've lost my job. Worse, millions of readers will lose my colleagues' brilliant coverage. At a time of tumult, we need more info, not less

Today’s Russian papers on Greenland: “Europe’s at a total loss. It’s a pleasure to watch.” Government paper: “Europe doesn’t need the American greatness Trump is promoting…the Old World's keen to keep Greenland for itself, even at the risk of Nato’s collapse.” #ReadingRussia

Main opposition Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung now wears a bulletproof vest during public activities. Lee has reportedly been the subject of multiple death threats. Police have begun providing security protection. Last year, he was stabbed in an assassination attempt.

On Polymarket, essentially a crypto betting site, people are wagering on whether South Korean President Yoon will leave office before April 2025. So far, $16.2m has been staked, with the market giving a 69% chance that he’ll be out by March 31.

Supporters of Yoon Suk Yeol are shaving their heads in front of the Constitutional Court in protest of what they call Yoon's "illegal" impeachment.

Good to have you back.

“Canadians have had enough.” Foreign Minister @melaniejoly tells me Canadians will defend their jobs and their sovereignty in the face of President Trump’s tariff war.

Three years after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, a hundred miles from Moscow we ask Russians about three years of war and whether they believe Donald Trump will help to end it. Producer @BenTavener @BBCNews
