Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy delivered a passionate address to the World Economic Forum in Davos, telling delegates that this year must be decisive in the war waged on his nation by Russia.
Zelenskiy earlier met with some of the biggest names in global finance and was greeted in heartfelt terms by JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon as he seeks to maintain the flow of aid to his government. Elsewhere at the gathering in the Swiss Alps, some participants talked up signs of economic resilience, even as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that the world is facing the biggest threat to its stability since World War II.

Russia’s intervention in Syria’s civil war almost a decade ago turned the tide in Assad’s favor, but this time around his two biggest backers are stretched. Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is consuming Russian resources while Iran finds itself weakened by Israel’s sustained attacks on Hezbollah, the Tehran-backed militants in neighboring Lebanon.

,1,French President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist alliance and the left-wing New Popular Front are weighing whether to pull candidates from the second round of the legislative election on Sunday to keep the ascendant far right out of power.
Marine Le Pen’s National Rally and its allies dominated the first round of voting Sunday, locking up 33.2% of the vote, according to interior ministry figures. The New Popular Front got 28% and Macron’s coalition got 20.8%.
Le Pen’s margin of victory was smaller than some polls had indicated. That, together with the news that mainstream parties were exploring ways to lock her group out of power, drove an initial market rally before investor optimism about the outcome began to fade.

,1,This week's top stories of the week include:
0:15 Are batteries the new oil? – The global demand for lithium is set to increase fivefold by 2035. Current operations will meet only 7% of this demand. How can the world responsibly manage this shift and the risks it presents? First, we must prioritize efficiency says Melissa Lott, Professor of Professional Practice, Columbia Climate School.
3:20 5 emerging technologies – The World Economic Forum has published its Top 10 Emerging Technologies of 2024 report. It draws on the expertise of more than 300 leading academics, researchers and futurists to discover the technologies most likely to impact people and the planet in the next 3-5 years.
5:44 Lab solution for rice emissions – The University of Miami’s SUSTAIN Lab is one of a kind. It’s the world’s most powerful wind-wave tank and the only one that can model Category 5 hurricanes with winds of over 250kph. The tank is built from reinforced acrylic and lets scientists study in forensic detail what happens when hurtling winds strike a coastline.
7:45 How AI can empower the disabled – New technology can advance medical breakthroughs if used responsibly. Christopher Reeve became an activist and advocate for people living with paralysis at a time when spinal injury research was known as the ‘graveyard of neurobiology’.
