Le Monde: In Belarus, a sham election in a locked country
Belarus is set to hold a presidential election on January 26, with Alexander Lukashenko seeking a seventh term amid a climate of repression. The election follows a controversial vote in 2020, which sparked widespread protests against alleged fraud and resulted in intensified crackdowns on dissent.
This upcoming election features four candidates who support Lukashenko's regime, and there will be no international observers present. The expected outcome is a continuation of Lukashenko's authoritarian rule, bolstered by his alliance with Russia.

Le Monde: Patrick Artus: 'Donald Trump's various economic policy goals are mutually incompatible'
Donald Trump's economic policy aims to lower prices by increasing domestic energy production, reducing drug prices, imposing tariffs on imports, and curbing illegal immigration. However, these goals are seen as mutually incompatible, potentially leading to higher inflation and reduced purchasing power for Americans.
The recent drop in inflation is attributed to slower wage growth, influenced by high immigration rates under President Biden. This slowdown in wages, alongside rising tariffs and immigration control, could exacerbate inflation, undermining the goal of enhancing American purchasing power.

GB News: Asteroid with potential of smashing into Earth spotted by scientists - before object revealed to be something very different
Harvard astronomers mistakenly identified Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster as a potentially hazardous asteroid, registering it as "2018 CN41" before retracting the claim 17 hours later. The car, launched into space in 2018, was found 150,000 miles from Earth, raising concerns about distinguishing between natural and human-made space objects.
This incident underscores the challenges facing scientists in tracking near-Earth objects, as misidentifications can hinder efforts to protect Earth from actual threats. Astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell emphasized the risks of confusing man-made debris with genuine asteroids.
