The country was once the murder capital of the world.

For decades, rival gangs ruled the streets of El Salvador.

Adverbs of degree

Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the events unfolding around the world that you may not have been aware of, but should definitely know about.

We are here to help you.   We are here to help you.

North Korea and Russia's first road bridge.

As Russian President Vladimir Putin continues to demonstrate a lack of interest in ending the bloody Russo-Ukrainian war, his ties to Kim Jong-un and the authoritarian regime of North Korea only seem to grow stronger.

The Russian President Vladimir Putin has thanked the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un for providing troops to help Russia fight Ukraine.

Hours earlier Pyongyang admitted for the first time it had deployed soldiers to the conflict.

It said it helped, in its words, to liberate the Russian region of Kursk.

Following North Korea's confirmation that it had sent troops to Russia to assist with the ongoing war effort, the two countries announced the construction of a road bridge between them in late April of 2025.

Said Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, the bridge, quote, symbolizes our common desire to strengthen friendly, good-neighborly relations and increase inter-regional cooperation, end quote.

The bridge, which will span the Tumen River, is expected to be completed by the middle of 2026.

And on the Russian side of the border there's even a house of friendship built for the state's founder, Kim Il-sung, to commemorate his state visit to Moscow in 1949.

Number nine, the Liberal Party of Canada's unprecedented political comeback.

So last night over dinner I told my kids about the decision that I'm sharing with you today.

I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its next leader through a robust, nationwide, competitive process. 2024 was not kind to former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

Amidst a sagging economy and dire approval ratings, Trudeau was dealt a fatal blow by the surprise resignation of Chrystia Freeland, his longtime deputy prime minister and minister of finance.

Trudeau was ultimately left with no choice but to resign his post, while the Conservative Party surged in the polls and looked all but guaranteed to secure a majority government.

What I'd like to see, Canada become our 51st state.

We give them protection, military protection.

We don't need them to build our cars, I'd rather see Detroit or South Carolina or any one of our, Tennessee, any one of our states build the cars, they can do it very easily.

We don't need them for the cars, we don't need them for lumber.

The second presidency of Donald Trump, however, flipped the situation on its head, with Trump's threats of tariffs and annexation dominating the Canadian political landscape.

Economist Mark Carney was elected the leader of Trudeau's Liberal Party, and in a stunning turnaround secured the party its fourth consecutive mandate.

You know, I chose to enter politics because I felt we needed big changes in this country.

But big changes guided by strong Canadian values.

Values that I learned at the dinner table from my parents, Bob and Verley, and from my siblings.

The UN estimates more than 18 million people are in desperate need of humanitarian assistance.

But aid agencies are struggling to get access to the country.

There are more than 5,000 people living in this camp for internally displaced persons close to the Thai border.

While the world has been gripped by seemingly unending conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, a no less disturbing struggle has gone tragically overlooked by the global community.

Myanmar, a Southeast Asian country bordering India and China, among others, has experienced decades of internal conflict since gaining independence from Britain in 1948.

There is a massive number of surrenders to the People's Revolution side.

They have introduced conscription and are literally kidnapping young men to fight in the military.

Sending them to the front line using as a human shield.

This is the biggest crime going on in Burma.

Following a military coup in 2021, the country has descended into one of its most severe crises yet, a full scale civil war between the military junta, known as the State Administration Council, and the pro-democracy National Unity Government.

With nearly 80,000 deaths reported and more than 3 million people displaced, Myanmar's humanitarian crisis continues to deepen while the international community struggles to chart a path toward peace.

As a human being, it was a company that was not environmentalized.

We want to fight them, but we can only cope with one form of combat.

We want to start a new life, from scratch.

If everyone of us are killed, we will be the dragged into it one day.

Haitian crisis We are not afraid of anything.

We want to do everything we can, as if we were going to win.

Because if we lose, we are going to do the same thing again.

Afflicted by more than two centuries of political turbulence, foreign occupations, and repeated natural disasters, Haiti has also suffered deadly disease outbreaks such as cholera.

In 2018, rising fuel prices and deepening economic hardship sparked mass protests and calls for President Jovenel Moise to resign.

On Tuesday, Moise attempted to force out three judges who were proposed as potential interim national leaders to replace him.

They included interim opposition leader Joseph Messin Jean-Louis.

Moise has been ruling by decree for a year because there's no parliament right now.

Legislative elections due in 2018 were delayed.

After years of mounting unrest and a reported coup attempt earlier in 2021, Moise was assassinated in July of that year.

Since then, Haiti has had no elected officials, and much of the country has fallen into the grip of increasingly violent gang conflict, with no end in sight.

This is an attempt not to steal the results of one party's support, but this is an attempt to steal Georgia's European future.

Georgian dream cannot remain in power in this country.

Canada wasn't the only country facing a recent and very important election.

However, the situation is far more complex in the Eastern European and West Asian country of Georgia, the former Soviet Republic has been embroiled in a constitutional crisis since its October 2024 elections, which have been described by international watchdog groups as compromised and not free and fair.

The right-wing Georgian Dream Party has been accused of undermining democracy, all while promoting ties to Russia and parroting Kremlin misinformation.

More than a million of our citizens came to the polling stations and supported peace, our country's truly bright and European future.

Georgian people are the main authors of this victory.

Incumbent President Salome Zorabishvili continues to be acknowledged by the international community as Georgia's rightful head of state, while the current administration has gone unrecognized by the European Union.

An independent Georgian election monitoring group reported cases of violence outside several polling stations.

There was a video, we saw it in the report right now, on social media that showed a man stuffing several ballot papers into a ballot box.

However, the Central Election Commission declared that the election was peaceful and free.

The Situation in Sahel Between the vast Sahara Desert and the dense foliage of the African rainforest is a band of semi-arid grassland.

Known as the Sahel, the landscape is one of Africa's most productive crop regions.

But the crops in the Sahel are grown close to their limits of tolerance and rely on natural rainfall.

There's a very real possibility that you've never heard of this African biogeographical region.

Spanning the tropics of North Africa and countries like Senegal, Mali, Niger, Chad and more, the Sahel has routinely been faced with fundamental issues that threaten its inhabitants' way of life.

There are largely desert areas, lots of pastoralist communities, a lot of bear-bear communities.

The southern parts of those countries tend to be much greener.

They are considered to be the breadbaskets of that region.

But for the most part, the Sahel is a dry, vast desert area that stretches from Mali all the way to Sudan.

Described by the Norwegian Refugee Council as, quote, the world's most neglected and conflict-ridden region, Sahel has been noted by The Economist for its disproportionate incidence of terrorist violence.

That is, as much as 35% of the world's deaths from terrorism in 2021.

The Sahel's location has also left it vulnerable to severe droughts and famines, which is only expected to be exacerbated by worsening climate change.

The grain stores ran out in February, forcing Mamadou's family to eat the seeds they should be planting to harvest in September.

But even that wasn't enough for his sister-in-law and her baby, who have already died.

We have seen the villages burning very, very clearly.

All these places were totally covered with smoke.

At the height of this crisis, how many people were crossing per day?

In one wave, there'd be 10 to 15 thousands.
