Britain’s new prime minister is fighting for her political survival. Liz Truss has been at 10 Downing Street for just six weeks, but she’s already made U-turns on some of her big economic policies. And, the coalition that has governed Catalonia’s semi-autonomous government for years fractured this week. Political infighting has plagued the Catalan independence camp ever since the movement became mainstream over a decade ago. Also, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has complicated Latvia’s relationship with its own ethnic Russian population, who account for a quarter of the country’s 2 million citizens. They’ve assimilated over time but now many of them sense that they’re being marginalized. Plus, a rare anti-government protest in Beijing on Thursday sparks online activism.
