Introduction

It’s been two months since we last checked in on the world’s current events. In that time, a lot has happened around the world.

Political Unrest

One of the biggest stories of the past two months has been the ongoing political unrest in several countries around the world. In Myanmar, a military coup led to the ousting of the democratically elected government and the subsequent arrest of its leaders. In Belarus, protests against the government’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and its human rights abuses have continued to escalate. And in Afghanistan, the Taliban’s resurgence has led to fears of a return to the brutal regime that ruled the country in the late 1990s.

COVID-19 Update

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to ravage the world, with new variants of the virus emerging and vaccination efforts facing numerous challenges. In some countries, such as India, the situation remains dire, with hospitals overwhelmed and vaccine shortages exacerbating the crisis. In other parts of the world, however, vaccination rates are rising and restrictions are being eased, leading to a sense of cautious optimism.

Natural Disasters

The past two months have also seen several devastating natural disasters. In June, a heatwave swept across the western United States, resulting in record-breaking temperatures and numerous deaths. In July, heavy rains and flooding wreaked havoc in parts of Europe, with Germany and Belgium particularly hard hit. And in August, a powerful earthquake struck Haiti, killing thousands and leaving many more homeless.

In the world of technology, there have been several notable developments over the past two months. Apple released its latest operating system, iOS 15, which includes a range of new features and improvements. Meanwhile, Facebook announced plans to launch a new virtual reality platform, Horizon Workrooms, aimed at facilitating remote work and collaboration. And Tesla’s latest earnings report showed that the company continues to grow and expand, despite challenges such as the global chip shortage.
