Mid-Day Rewind 2022
As December 2022 comes to an end, and new year is around the corner, let us take a look at the global news that left a mark on us. From Russia’s horrific invasion of Ukraine to the assassination of Japan’s Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to India Taking the G20 Presidency, let us revisit the biggest news that happened this year around the globe. China is struggling with a rush of Covid cases after it started moving away from its zero-Covid policy which mandated strict lockdowns, quarantining and closed borders. Experts have that the current Covid surge in China is "unlikely" to impact India, but they urged people to stay cautious and wear masks. India assumed the G20 Presidency in December from Indonesia. This year, the G20 summit happened in Indonesia, where leaders from across the globe were present. A tragic event happened in Seoul, where more than 150 people were killed in a Halloween stampede. Japan’s Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s assassination came as a shock to everyone. Queen Elizabeth II- the UK’s longest-serving monarch died at age 96 in September. In February, Vladimir Putin announced Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. When 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in suspicious circumstances after being arrested by Iran’s police in September, it triggered unprecedented protests in the conservative nation. #Middayrewind2022 #GlobalNews #InternationalNews
