This will be my first international news roundup, which covers headlines from outside the United States. I don't want to overload my subscribers, so I'll try to focus on those stories that are most relevant to the wider geopolitical situation, or that are more interesting to me. You might begin to notice which countries I have a bias towards; I'd be curious to know which you think they are since I consciously try to read news from all areas of the world indiscriminately.
