US on edge during transition of power
Trump supporters try to break through a police barrier at the Capitol in Washington, Jan. 6, 2021.
The peaceful transition of power is a democratic principle that for the most part hasn’t been challenged here in the US. But this year, after this election, many Americans are nervous as angry supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday. And, in contrast to other vaccination programs, in Israel, health officials have been vaccinating about 1.5% of the population every day. Also, a valuable painting by Wassily Kandinsky is in a major museum in Amsterdam. It once belonged to a Jewish family before World War II. Now the heirs are suing to get it back.
