Politics
What’s Happening?
The World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026 is underway in Davos, Switzerland, bringing together world leaders, business heads, scientists, and innovators from more than 130 countries. Nearly 3,000 participants, including around 65 heads of state and government leaders, have gathered to talk about the biggest challenges facing the planet. This year’s theme, “A Spirit of Dialogue,” highlights the importance of conversation and cooperation at a time when global tensions, climate worries, and rapid technological change are shaping everyday life across the world.
Discussions range from global trade and economic stability to climate action, artificial intelligence, health risks, and future jobs. Some leaders have stressed the need to keep international cooperation alive even as trade disputes and political divisions grow, while others have focused on innovation, clean energy, and the responsible use of technology to solve long-term problems. The overall mood at Davos reflects both concern about global risks and hope that shared dialogue can lead to smarter solutions.
Why is it Important?
Davos matters because it is one of the rare places where people who shape global decisions sit together in the same room and exchange ideas face to face. What leaders discuss here can influence how countries trade, how technology develops, how climate challenges are addressed, and how prepared the world is for future crises.
This meeting shows that global problems are connected and cannot be solved by one country alone. It also highlights the power of discussion, listening, and cooperation, reminding us that big changes often begin with conversations before they turn into action.

Bangladesh and ICC Continue Talks as Participation Question Looms
Bangladesh and ICC Continue Talks as Participation Question Looms
Sports
What’s Happening?
A brewing disagreement between the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and the International Cricket Council (ICC) has cast uncertainty over whether Bangladesh’s cricket team will take part in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, which starts on February 7 in India and Sri Lanka. The ICC gave Bangladesh a January 21 deadline to decide its participation, but the BCB has officially denied that any such fixed timeline was set during talks with ICC officials.
The board’s media chairman said that while discussions about concerns especially regarding the venues in India are ongoing, no formal deadline was communicated to them and that both sides agreed to continue engagement on the matter. At the centre of the standoff are concerns raised by Bangladesh about playing matches in India and requests to relocate their games to Sri Lanka.
Why is it Important?
This situation matters because it touches on how international tournaments are organised and the challenges that arise when teams have concerns about match venues or conditions. The T20 World Cup is one of cricket’s biggest events, and uncertainty over whether a qualified team like Bangladesh will participate affects not just the board and players, but also fans, other teams, schedules, and logistics.
At the same time, the conflicting reports about deadlines and whether the team will travel have highlighted how communication between federations and media can create different public impressions. With only weeks to go, both the ICC and the BCB are under pressure to reach clarity, and any decision could influence group compositions, fixture lists, and how other teams prepare for the tournament.

SpaceX Launches 29 New Starlink Satellites to Expand Space Internet
SpaceX Launches 29 New Starlink Satellites to Expand Space Internet
Science
What’s Happening?
SpaceX just gave the Starlink internet network a big boost by launching 29 new satellites into space aboard a Falcon 9 rocket from Florida. The shiny spacecraft soared into the sky and delivered its cargo into orbit, where the satellites will join hundreds of others already circling Earth as part of SpaceX’s growing global network. Starlink satellites work together like a giant, fast internet web in space, beaming connections down to people on the ground even in places that don’t normally have great internet.
This launch is another step in SpaceX’s plan to make Starlink even stronger and more widespread. Once deployed, the new satellites will help improve coverage, speed, and reliability for users around the world who connect with dishes on rooftops, farms, boats, and remote communities.
Why is it Important?
This launch matters because it shows how space technology is becoming part of everyday life. These Starlink satellites aren’t just tiny metal objects in orbit, they’re part of a real-world internet system that helps people study, work, learn, and connect with friends and family. When SpaceX adds more satellites to the network, users can enjoy faster speeds and smoother connections, whether they’re watching videos, joining online classes, or playing games with people far away.
This mission highlights how rockets and satellites work as a team. You don’t need to be in a big city to get online and one day, global networks like Starlink could play a role in connecting astronauts on the Moon or Mars back to Earth. From bright rocket lifts to small signals beaming down through the night sky, each mission brings us closer to a world where space technology helps everyone stay connected.

2,000-Year-Old Chinese Texts on Horses Unearthed by Archaeologists
2,000-Year-Old Chinese Texts on Horses Unearthed by Archaeologists
History
What’s Happening?
Archaeologists in China have uncovered a treasure from the distant past: ancient bamboo slips that contain some of the earliest written records of horses in Chinese history. Made of strips of bamboo tied with cords, the texts are more than 2,000 years old and give us a peek into how people in ancient China thought, recorded events, and talked about horses, animals that were critically important long before cars, trains, or planes existed.
The bamboo texts aren’t just lists of facts. They include details about breeding, care, training and use of horses, showing that ancient Chinese scholars were deeply interested in these animals. Some slips describe what made a good horse, how horses were used in travel, farming, and war, and even how they shaped political and military decisions.
Why is it Important?
This discovery matters because it gives us a real connection to life in ancient times, not through pottery, tools, or buildings, but through words written by people long ago. Before paper was common, bamboo slips were one of the earliest ways humans wrote down their ideas. Finding texts about horses helps historians understand both the importance of horses in early Chinese societies and how writing itself evolved as people shared knowledge and recorded history.
The fact that these slips survived for millennia buried and then found by modern researchers is like uncovering a secret message from the past. Each character written on the bamboo is a clue, helping piece together how ancient civilizations lived, worked, and communicated long before the digital age.
