Why are so many Cubans leaving?
People wait in a line as they are organized to enter the US Embassy on the day of its reopening for visa and consular services in Havana, Cuba, Jan. 4, 2023.

And, a helicopter crash in a Kyiv suburb on Wednesday took the life of Ukraine’s Interior Minister Denys Monastyrsky, leaving a gaping hole in the president’s team. Also, many are looking to Brazil’s new government, led by Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, to help save the Amazon jungle.
