Start your day smarter with a dossier on the most important world news, rounded
off with a shot of intriguing and offbeat stories. Like the president, you
deserve no less.

Apr 13, 2022


TODAY

President Biden accused Russia of “genocide” — and he called Putin a “dictator.”
Severe flooding in eastern South Africa has killed at least 59 people. The
manhunt continues for the shooter who injured 23 people in a Brooklyn subway
Tuesday. And Elon Musk has been sued for failing to disclose his 9.2% stake in
Twitter. All this and more in today’s PDB.



IMPORTANT

The G-Word

BIDEN ACCUSES PUTIN OF GENOCIDE

Speaking at an Iowa ethanol plant, President Joe Biden said that Americans’
ability to fill their tanks shouldn’t “hinge on whether a dictator declares war
and commits genocide a half a world away.” Asked later whether he’d meant to use
the G-word, Biden said, “Yes, I called it genocide. It has become clearer and
clearer that Putin is just trying to wipe out the idea of ... being able to be
Ukrainian.” President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded, “Calling things by their
names is essential to stand up to evil.” Meanwhile, the mayor of Mariupol
announced an estimated 21,000 civilians have been killed in the besieged port.

FLOODS IN SOUTH AFRICA KILL AT LEAST 59, TOLL EXPECTED TO RISE

Heavy downpours have battered the province of KwaZulu-Natal since the weekend,
triggering flash floods that have swept away bridges, roads, vehicles and homes.
At least 45 people have lost their lives in the province’s largest metro of
eThekwini and 14 more have been confirmed killed elsewhere. The toll could be
much higher, as some parts of the province have not yet been reached by
emergency response teams. Dr. Imtiaz Sooliman from the humanitarian relief group
Gift of the Givers said his organization would focus on “informal settlements,
houses in low-lying locations and the non-insured.” President Cyril Ramaphosa
will visit KZN today. (Sources: Daily Maverick, ENCA)

Person of Interest

MANHUNT CONTINUES FOR BROOKLYN SUBWAY SHOOTER

New York City police have named a person of interest in Tuesday morning’s attack
that injured at least 23 people, five of them critically. They said keys to a
U-Haul van were found on the train with the shooter’s belongings, which included
a handgun, ammunition and a hatchet. The van was rented by Frank James, 62, who
had previously posted rants about race and violence on YouTube, as well as
criticisms of NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ policies on public safety in the subways.
Police have offered a $50,000 reward for information that leads to the gunman’s
arrest. (Source: NYT)

Never a Dull Moment

MUSK SUED BY TWITTER SHAREHOLDERS OVER DELAY IN DISCLOSING STAKE

A class-action suit filed in Manhattan accused Tesla CEO Elon Musk of
“materially false and misleading statements and omissions.” The group of former
shareholders says Musk’s failure to reveal his 9.2% stake in Twitter before the
federal deadline of March 24 cost them potential profits. When Musk revealed his
investment on April 4, Twitter shares rose 27%, from $39.31 to $49.97. Lead
plaintiff Marc Rasella sold 35 shares for $1,373 (an average price of $39.23)
between March 25 and 29. Musk, the world’s richest man, is worth $265.1 billion
according to Forbes’ real-time list. (Source: Reuters)

Briefly

HERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TODAY: 

A fine day. U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson defied calls to quit after he and
Rishi Sunak — the country’s leading Treasury official — were fined for breaking
their own COVID-19 lockdown rules by attending Johnson’s birthday party.
(Source: The Guardian) Gotcha! Ukraine’s security service announced that they’d
arrested pro-Russian politician Viktor Medvedchuk, who’d been on the run since
Russia invaded on Feb. 24. (Source: BBC) Crackdown. El Salvador’s President
Nayib Bukele announced that more than 10,000 suspected gang members have been
arrested since a state of emergency was declared after 87 people were killed one
weekend in late March. (Source: Al Jazeera)

Cariuma's low-tops look good and feel great - and they do all of that with
consciously-sourced materials while working with ethical factories and recycled
packaging. You get a cool-classic look that turns heads, and the inner
satisfaction of doing the right thing with your new kicks. Plus, they plant a
pair of trees in the Brazilian rainforest for every pair you buy.

INTRIGUING

Earth 2.0?

CHINA’S ON THE HUNT FOR A HABITABLE EXOPLANET

Beijing has sent robots to Mars and the moon and it’s even built its own space
station. Now the Asian superpower has its sights set on a far loftier goal.
Later this month, China will release details of its first mission to discover
exoplanets — planets that orbit stars outside the solar system. The mission will
scour the outer reaches of the Milky Way in the hopes of finding an Earth-like
planet orbiting in the habitable zone of a star similar to the sun. Given the
right conditions, experts say, such a planet could harbor liquid water — and
perhaps even life. (Source: Nature)

Handy!

MICROCHIP IMPLANTS LET YOU PAY WITH YOUR HAND

Never know where your purse is? While it may sound like something from a sci-fi
movie, British-Polish firm Walletmor has been implanting payment chips into
people’s hands since last year. The tiny chips, about the size of a grain of
rice, use near-field communication, the same contactless payment system in
smartphones. While we’ve been putting chips into our pets for decades, 49% of
Europeans said they wouldn’t chip themselves. And as for the other 51%? The
procedure “hurts as much as when someone pinches your skin,” says happy customer
Patrick Paumen, and “the reactions I get from cashiers are priceless!” (Source:
BBC)

Bird of Pray

SALISBURY CATHEDRAL’S FAMOUS FALCON MIGRATES TO GUERNSEY

Osmund, one of four peregrine falcon chicks who became an internet sensation
during the first COVID lockdown in 2020, has been spotted over 100 miles away on
the island of Guernsey. Named after St. Osmund, the first Bishop of Salisbury,
he’s the only of the siblings (who were raised under the watchful eye of a
webcam atop the cathedral tower in southern England) to be spotted since flying
the nest. Peregrines usually stay within 60 miles of their birthplace, and Ed
Drewitt, who ringed Osmund, said he’d never heard of a peregrine from the area
making it to the Channel Islands. (Source: The Guardian)

Blast From Beyond

DECLASSIFIED DATA CONFIRMS PNG METEORITE CAME FROM ANOTHER STAR SYSTEM

A memo from the U.S. Space Command has confirmed that a small meteorite that
blazed through the skies above Papua New Guinea in 2014 came from far beyond our
solar system. A 2019 study argued that the fireball’s speed and trajectory
proved with 99% certainty the object was interstellar — but because some of the
data used in the calculations was classified, the paper was not peer-reviewed.
The recent admission makes this the first interstellar object ever recorded in
our solar system, predating the discovery of ‘Oumuamua by three years.
Scientists are considering scouring the seafloor for shards. (Source: Live

Winners and Losers

HIGH DRAMA IN SOCCER’S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE QUARTERFINALS

The first two quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League saw defending champions
Chelsea and six-time winners Bayern Munich knocked out. Chelsea almost pulled
off a remarkable comeback against 12-time champs Real Madrid, surging to 3-0
lead that would’ve been enough to overturn their 1-3 first-leg loss. But Real
equalized in the 80th minute and Karim Benzema provided the fatal blow in extra
time to take the tie 5-4 on aggregate. At the Allianz Arena in Munich, an
88th-minute equalizer by Villareal’s Samuel Chukwueze was enough to knock Bayern
out 2-1 on aggregate. Villareal will play their first semifinal since 2006.

I GET COMPLIMENTS EVERYWHERE I GO…

That’s what Amber from Hanover said about her new pair of Cariuma sneakers –
along with loving the sustainable and eco-conscious business that’s behind them.
It’s also why they come highly recommended by more and more trend-setters. Toss
in worldwide shipping and extended 60-day returns, and you can see why these
sell out quick… but folks in the OZY community can still get $15 off. Just use
the code OZY2022.
