Uganda's Political CrossroadsLife in Gaza: Fragile PeaceSyria: Returning HomeA World of ProtestLooking Ahead

Quick Summary#

Today's global landscape is defined by moments of intense political activity and human resilience. From the bustling campaign trails of Uganda to the quiet, mournful shores of Gaza, images from around the world tell stories of power, protest, and survival.

As a fragile ceasefire holds in the Middle East, families face the dual challenges of grief and displacement. Simultaneously, political machinery churns in East Africa, where elections draw massive crowds. These snapshots offer a window into the diverse challenges shaping our world today.

Uganda's Political Crossroads#

The African continent is witnessing a pivotal moment in Uganda, where the electoral cycle is reaching its final stages. The political atmosphere is charged, with the landscape dominated by large-scale rallies and public displays of support.

President Yoweri Museveni remains the central figure in this political drama, with his campaign drawing multitudinarios actos de apoyo (massive acts of support). These gatherings highlight the deep political engagement across the nation as the country anticipates the outcome of the vote.

The visual narrative from Uganda underscores the scale and energy of the campaign, painting a picture of a nation at a democratic crossroads.

Life in Gaza: Fragile Peace#

Amidst a frágil alto el fuego (fragile ceasefire), life in Gaza continues under the weight of recent conflict. The coastal territory has become a stage for profound human emotion, where the daily struggle for survival is juxtaposed with moments of deep sorrow.

Scenes from the region depict families gathering to say their final goodbyes to loved ones lost in the recent violence. The beachfront has transformed into a temporary home for many, with survivors setting up tents and makeshift shelters beside the sea, seeking refuge from the destruction further inland.

These images capture a community defined by its resilience in the face of uncertainty, clinging to the hope that the ceasefire will hold.

Syria: Returning Home#

While Gaza mourns, another Middle Eastern city begins to heal. In Syria, specifically in the historic city of Aleppo, residents are making a tentative return to their homes.

This return follows días de combates (days of combat) that once again shook the foundations of the city. Neighborhoods that were recently scenes of intense fighting are now seeing the first signs of civilian life returning, as people assess the damage and attempt to rebuild their lives amidst the rubble.

The situation in Aleppo serves as a stark reminder of the cyclical nature of conflict and the enduring desire of people to reclaim their homes and communities.

A World of Protest#

Beyond the immediate conflict zones, a broader narrative of social and political unrest is unfolding globally. The source material points to a world marked by widespread protestas sociales (social protests), indicating a rising tide of public dissent and calls for change.

From France to Colombia, citizens are taking to the streets to voice their demands. This global wave of activism is often fueled by a combination of political decisions and economic pressures.

The common thread linking these disparate movements is a shared sense of urgency and a desire to shape the political future of their respective nations.

Looking Ahead#

The images from today offer a powerful, unfiltered look at the state of the world. They reveal a planet where politics and protest are constant forces, shaping the lives of millions from the campaign rallies of Uganda to the streets of Paris.

Ultimately, these snapshots remind us of the shared human experiences of loss, resilience, and the pursuit of a better future. As the world watches these developments, the stories of these communities will continue to evolve, demanding our attention and empathy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Uganda is experiencing the final stages of its electoral campaign. The period is characterized by massive public rallies and widespread shows of support for President Yoweri Museveni.

The 10 highest-grossing actors at the global box office

Zoe Saldaña doing a motion-capture performance to play Neytiri in "Avatar: Fire & Ash." Mark Fellman/20th Century Studios Stars like Tom Cruise, Robert Downey Jr., and Scarlett Johansson have brought in billions at the global box office. The highest-grossing actors all starred in at least one major franchise. See which actor is No. 1 on the list. The actors who make the most money at the worldwide box office all have one thing in common: longevity. Actors like Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr. have reinvented themselves over the decades, morphing from self-serious actors to major box office draws. Others like Scarlett Johansson and Zoe Saldaña may not have been working quite as long as Cruise and Downey Jr., but have systematically navigated their careers to land leading roles in box-office goliaths. But whether they're attached to Marvel hits, doing death-defying stunts on impossible missions, battling dinosaurs, or driving cars fast (furiously), these actors have cracked the code of what audiences want — and they have the box office stats to prove it. Here are the all-time top 10 highest-grossing actors at the worldwide box office, according to figures from The Numbers. 10. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson — $11.46 billion Dwayne Johnson. Pablo Cuadra/WireImage/Getty Since going Hollywood in the early 2000s after a sensational pro wrestling career at the WWE, Johnson has gradually built up his box office tally. But the ticket sales got as big as his biceps when he joined the "Fast and Furious" franchise with 2011's "Fast Five." Along with helping "Fast" entries like 2015's "Furious 7" and 2017's "The Fate of the Furious" each earn over $1 billion at the worldwide box office, he's also scored other big hits like the "Moana" and "Jumanji" franchises. 9. Chris Evans — $11.48 billion Chris Evans. Lionel Hahn/Getty Images As Captain America, Evans is attached to some of the biggest box office earners of all time, including 2019's "Avengers: Endgame," which is the second-highest-grossing movie of all time at the worldwide box office with over $2.7 billion. Since then, he's shown up in box office hits like "Free Guy" (just a quick cameo, but it still counts) and 2024's "Deadpool & Wolverine." Expect him to rise up this list with him reprising his role as Captain America in "Avengers: Doomsday" coming out at the end of the year. 8. Vin Diesel — $12 billion Vin Diesel. Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic/Getty As the star in all 10 movies in the "Fast" franchise, Vin Diesel is a major part of its over $7 billion take. Diesel has also scored big as the voice of Groot in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" franchise. 7. Chris Hemsworth — $12.2 billion Chris Hemsworth. Neilson Barnard/Getty Images As the face of the Thor franchise, Hemsworth has helped it earn close to $3 billion at the worldwide box office. As a member of "The Avengers" franchise, he's also been a part of the close to $8 billion those movies have grossed. Most recently, he starred in the hit "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga." He will also be "Avengers: Doomsday." 6. Tom Cruise — $12.7 billion Tom Cruise. Manuel Velasquez/Getty Regarded as one of the last true movie stars, Cruise was topping box office charts long before most on this list had their first screen credit. Now in his 60s, Cruise is proving he's still got it as the latest (and perhaps final) "Mission: Impossible" movie, "The Final Reckoning," is going strong in theaters, earning half a billion dollars worldwide. That adds to its already impressive tally of close to $5 billion for the eight-movie franchise. There's also talk of a third "Top Gun" movie after the franchise was revived in 2020 with "Top Gun: Maverick," which brought in $1.4 billion. 5. Chris Pratt — $14.1 billion Chris Pratt. Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic/Getty Who knew the jokester from "Parks and Recreation" would become such a huge box office draw? From playing Star-Lord in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" movies (and several other Marvel releases), a lovable Lego figure in the "The Lego Movie" franchise, the hero in the "Jurassic World" movies, and the voice of Mario in "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," Pratt's hard work has paid off. 4. Robert Downey Jr. — $14.3 billion Robert Downey Jr. Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images Believe it or not, there was a time when Hollywood wanted nothing to do with Robert Downey Jr. In the early 2000s, Downey Jr.'s years of drug use and brushes with the law caught up with him. After spending a year at a court-ordered drug-treatment facility, he was broke and virtually unhireable. Then he got the offer that led to his comeback: the titular role in 2008's "Iron Man." With that, Downey Jr. became the face of the lucrative Marvel Cinematic Universe, which has grossed over $31 billion worldwide to date. After ending his run as Iron Man with 2019's "Avengers: Endgame," the second-highest-grossing movie of all time, he's returning to the MCU as the villain Doctor Doom in "Avengers: Doomsday." 3. Samuel L. Jackson — $14.6 billion Samuel L. Jackson. Emma McIntyre/Getty Images If there has ever been a blueprint for success in the modern-day movie business, it would be Sam Jackson's filmography. From "Star Wars" to the MCU to Pixar's hit "The Incredibles," the actor has been a staple of box-office sensations for decades — and let's not forget all the memorable roles he's played in movies from Spike Lee and Quentin Tarantino. This is why he was No. 1 on this list for so many years. 2. Scarlett Johansson — $15.4 billion Scarlett Johansson. Cindy Ord/Getty Images Since showing up as Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow in 2010's "Iron Man 2," Johansson has upped her box office game. Along with being a fixture in the MCU as a member of The Avengers, she also found big box office dollars starring in movies like "The Jungle Book" and "Sing." As the face of the latest hit movie in the "Jurassic Park" franchise, "Jurassic World Rebirth," which took in close to $870 million at the worldwide box office, Johansson was tops on this list. But there's a new leader… 1. Zoe Saldaña — $15.47 billion Zoe Saldaña. Emma McIntyre/Getty Images This recent Oscar winner has been on a box office hot streak for years. Between playing Uhura in the "Star Trek" franchise, Gamora in the "Guardians of the Galaxy" movies, and Neytiri in the epic "Avatar" films, Saldaña's role choices have been impeccable. Returning as Neytiri in James Cameron's 2025 hit "Avatar: Fire & Ash," which has scored over $1 billion at the global box office, has placed her as the current highest-grossing actor.

Dell tells staff to get ready for the 'biggest transformation in company history.' Read the memo.

Dell tells staff to get ready for the 'biggest transformation in company history.' Read the memo.

Michael Dell, CEO and founder of Dell. John Lamparski/Getty Images Dell has told its employees to expect a companywide systems overhaul in May. Top exec Jeff Clarke told workers it would be the "biggest transformation" in its 42-year history. Read Clarke's full memo to Dell employees telling them what will be changing at the company. If you work at Dell, get ready for big changes in 2026. The company is planning to roll out standardized processes across its operations and launch a single enterprise platform on May 3, Jeff Clarke, Dell's chief operating officer and vice chairman, said in a memo sent to the workforce on Tuesday, and seen by Business Insider. In the memo, Clarke said the changes constitute the "biggest transformation in company history." The modernization push, which the company has called One Dell Way, will "connect our data, break down silos, streamline our software applications and give us the foundation to work as one connected company," said Clarke. It will replace Dell's existing sprawl of applications, servers, and databases, and deliver "seamless data flow, fewer repetitive tasks, faster decision-making and more time for work that drives real impact," Clarke said. The vice chairman, who has recently taken a more active role in Dell's day-to-day operations, said that the changes are a key enabler of Dell's modernization. For years, the company has built multiple variations of tools used for fundamental processes, such as developing and selling, Clarke said in the memo. "That won't cut it in an AI-driven world. We need one way —simplified, standardized, and automated — so we can be more competitive and serve our customers better," Clarke said. Simplifying the underlying infrastructure is a crucial part of unlocking AI's future potential: no matter how much companies spend on flashy AI tools, they won't deliver speed or scale if the data behind them remains fragmented. One Dell Way is "foundational to our success in an AI-driven world," Clarke said. A company spokesperson told Business Insider that "One Dell Way is a transformation initiative designed to simplify processes, standardize systems, and use automation to create a more connected and efficient organization." 'Be ready' Rather than a gradual transition, the new operating system will kick in on a single crossover date, May 3, for Dell's PC business — known as the CSG division — as well as for finance, supply chain, marketing, sales, revenue operations, services, and HR operations, according to Clarke's memo. Dell's ISG division, which handles its cloud offering, data servers, and other AI infrastructure, will follow in August, Clarke said. The vice chairman told employees to "be ready" for the change. "Training is critical," and should be a priority once training opens on February 3, Clarke said. Jeff Clarke, Dell's chief operating officer, is spearheading its changes. Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images Business Insider previously reported that Dell has been running a secretive, multi-year internal project, codenamed "Maverick," for which staff had signed NDAs to work on. It was initially scheduled to launch for parts of the company in February 2026, but was pushed back to May. Dell's current modernization drive comes 42 years after Michael Dell founded the company as a freshman at the University of Texas. Dell has since expanded into AI and cloud infrastructure, gone private, and then returned to public markets, and pulled off the second-largest tech merger ever with its $67 billion purchase of EMC in 2016 — but, as Clarke said in the memo, the coming changes are Dell's biggest shake-up yet. Read Clarke's full memo to Dell employees here: Team, Our industry is moving faster than ever, and we've spent the past two years modernizing how Dell works so we can move even faster—simplifying and standardizing processes, eliminating inefficiencies and improving our tools and applications. That's <One Dell Way>. Now we're taking the next major step in this journey: rolling out standardized processes and an enterprise platform that will connect our data, break down silos, streamline our software applications and give us the foundation to work as one connected company. We'll begin operating in this new way on May 3, starting with CSG, Finance, Supply Chain, Marketing, Sales, RevOps, Services and HR operations. ISG follows in August. For years, our strong functional orientation meant we built many variations of fundamental processes—multiple ways to develop, multiple ways to market, multiple ways to sell, multiple ways to service. That won't cut it in an AI-driven world. We need one way—simplified, standardized and automated—so we can be more competitive and serve our customers better. This requires a mindset shift, from thinking and operating function-first to company-first. In some cases, that may mean we may make a choice that isn't optimal for a particular function, but it speeds up decision-making or improves quality for the company as a whole. That's the trade-off, and it's the right one. We're optimizing for Dell, not for individual functions. What's Changing Standardized processes and an enterprise platform mean no more workarounds, no holding onto old ways of working. Instead, we get seamless data flow, fewer repetitive tasks, faster decision-making and more time for work that drives real impact. This is a comprehensive change, not a gradual transition. Once we start operating in the new way on May 3, we won't go back. The degree of change will vary by team and role. Some of you will experience significant shifts in how you work day-to-day. For others, the changes will be minimal. But all of us need to understand what's happening and support each other through it. If your work spans both CSG and ISG, you'll navigate the new processes and applications for CSG, and legacy systems for ISG until August. You'll learn more in training. What This Takes Learning new systems and new ways of working isn't easy, especially when you're already moving fast. Here's my ask of you: Stay curious and open-minded as you learn new ways of working. Disrupt yourself. Break free from the old way of doing things. Embrace standardization. It makes us faster and better. Operate with a sense of urgency. Speed matters more than ever in the AI era. Be Ready Training is critical. You can't operate in the new system without it, no exceptions. Training opens February 3, and you'll get an email that day with your personalized information. Please make it a priority. This is the biggest transformation in company history. I know there will be challenges, and that's OK—we're here to support you and work through this together. Your leader will keep you updated as we move through training and launch. This is foundational to our success in an AI-driven world, and One Dell Way is how we get there—working as one company, with one set of processes, focused on what matters most. Let's lean in, learn as we go and build a better company together. Jeff Have a tip? Contact this reporter via email at pthompson@businessinsider.com or Signal at Polly_Thompson.89.

Каспийские баррели сбили с курса // Перевозка нефти через КТК может подорожать после атак на танкеры

Отгрузки нефти из Казахстана через Каспийский трубопроводный консорциум, которые и так ограничены последние полтора месяца, осложнились после атак на танкеры, законтрактованные участниками Каспийского трубопроводного консорциума, в том числе американской Chevron. Пока сход с маршрута поврежденных судов не должен существенно сказаться на объемах отгрузок. Но инцидент повлечет удорожание перевозки каспийской нефти из-за увеличения ставок фрахта и стоимости страхования.
