El mundo en venta (Javier Blas y Jack Farchy)
Madrid
Cada vez que el periodista Javier Blas toma un café se hace preguntas: “Esto es café colombiano. ¿Quién lo ha pagado? ¿Cómo vino aquí?”. Así, en el libro ‘El mundo está en venta. La cara oculta del negocio de materias primas’ (Península), publicado junto con su colega Jack Farchy, Blas investiga sobre las materias primas y cómo esta han sido fuente de la consolidación de la riqueza de los grandes empresarios del mundo.
Especializado en el sector de la energía y las materias primas, Blas expone en su libro que el mercado de estos recursos es “uno de los rincones que permanece oculto en la economía global”, pues es un sector esencial donde los países productores de carbón, petróleo, madera, minerales y demás materias no suelen consumirlos, sino que son comprados por otros países, generando cadenas de adquisición donde “no hay leyes”.

Is the world coming apart?(GZERO, Davos Debate)
After a two-year pandemic hiatus, the World Economic Forum returned Monday to the ski village of Davos in Switzerland, where some 2,000 of the world’s most influential leaders gathered this time to talk … geopolitics.

Ukraine war: The defiant Russians speaking out about the war (BBC)
By Sarah Rainsford
Eastern Europe correspondent, Andriivka

To Ukrainians it was clear from the very start of Russia’s invasion that this was no «special operation» to liberate the Donbas region, as Vladimir Putin had declared. It was all-out war.
But in Russia it’s a crime to call it that.
Dozens of people have already been prosecuted under the «fake news» law, as it’s known. They face up to 15 years behind bars for challenging the official line on Russia’s invasion or criticising the military.
