Joe Biden may visit Saudi Arabia next month for a first meeting with Saudi crown prince MBS.

Biden previously called Saudi Arabia a pariah state during his presidential election campaign.
Joe Biden also effectively boycotted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman because of his alleged involvement in the 2018 killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
MBS has denied any involvement but said he accepted responsibility for the killing as Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler.

Thread. Russian artist Helga Stentzel spent lots of time in a Siberian village with her grandmother when she was little. Image
‘Entertainment was scarce: two TV channels, no computer, so I’d lie in bed squinting at the carpet until the flowers blurred and I saw a dragon. I’d search for parrots and hedgehogs in the wood knots on my bed.’ Image
Now London-based, the artist creates and photographs the creatures she spies around her so you can see them too. Image

Across the world, low- and middle-income countries are struggling with a three-pronged crisis: the pandemic, the rising cost of their debt, and the increase in food and fuel prices caused by war in Ukraine.
Sri Lanka is the first to buckle under economic pressures compounded by Russia’s war on Ukraine.

This is just a start.

All three shocks were being faced by 69 countries – 25 in Africa, 25 in Asia and the Pacific, and 19 in Latin America and the Pacific.
The IMF has started rescue talks with Egypt and Tunisia – both big wheat importers from Russia and Ukraine – and with Pakistan, which has imposed power cuts because of the high cost of imported energy.

Thread. McDonald's in Russia (in photos).

McDonald's has said it will permanently leave Russia after more than 30 years and has started to sell its restaurants.
McDonald's said it made the decision because of the "humanitarian crisis" and "unpredictable operating environment" caused by the Ukraine war.

The opening of McDonald's first restaurant in Moscow in 1990 came to symbolise a thaw in Cold War tensions.
On 31 January 1990, thousands of Muscovites flocked to the new burger joint, forming lines several kilometers long in the centre of Moscow on Pushkinskaya Square.

Thread. Francesco Gioia is a rising London-based photographer, whose absorbing, candid images poetically capture the theatre of everyday life.
Born in Florence in 1991, Gioia’s creativity was encouraged by his parents from an early age, and he first became interested in photography aged 20 when he took a job with a friend of his father’s at a local photojournalism agency.
He was placed in charge of a priceless historical archive of over 3 million images (captured between 1944 and the early 90s by the founder Giulio Torrini) including, in Gioia’s own words “some of the most amazing photographs of Florence from the 50s and 60s”.
