Joe Biden out and Kamala Harris in, Bangladesh riots, Japan's population decline, NZ PM's low approval rating, and Olympic spying scandal

Views from Down Underer

US President Joe Biden has dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and VP Kamala Harris is in the race. Is this the shot in the arm that the Democrats are looking for? Will the Democrats be able to retain the White House? Deadly riots in Bangladesh due to student protests on job quotas. Is there more to these riots that what meets the eye? Japan reported a 15th year of population decline. What are the implications of continued shrinking population? NZ PM Luxon has been on the job less than 12 months and already his approval ratings have dropped. Why? Paris Olympic has started and even before the Olympic flame has been lit in the opening ceremony, a spying scandal involving the Canada's women football team has dented the idea of 'fair play' that the Olympics stand for.
