The US isn’t the only country that’s created a “debt ceiling.” Denmark has one, too. But Danes don’t play politics when it comes to paying their debt. Also, millions of Ukrainians fled their country after Russia’s full-scale invasion last year. While many have returned, some can’t or won’t. We meet Ukrainians who are starting over in France. And, Filipinos have a message for Taylor Swift: “Come back!”
