Brazil is finally getting vaccines following President Jair Bolsonaro’s botched approach to vaccination purchases and a range of COVID-19 hardships. Now, citizens are honking in celebration at drive-up vaccination sites. Also, Haiti’s president, Jovenel Moïse, was assassinated Tuesday in an overnight attack. And, in May, a triple bombing at a girls’ school in Kabul killed nearly 100 people, mostly students. Roughly two months later, Abdullah Ahmadi hasn’t been able to locate her 19-year-old daughter, Shukria. Also, the storied Cannes Film Festival had its opening night Tuesday after getting canceled last year due to COVID-19.
