,1,Why are two old, unpopular men the main candidates for the world’s most demanding job? It’s the question John Prideaux, The Economist’s US editor, gets asked the most. And the answer lies in the peculiar politics of the baby boomers.
Since 1992, every American president bar one has been a white man born in the 1940s. That run looks likely to span 36 years - not far off the age of the median American. This cohort was born with aces in their pockets. Their parents defeated Nazism and won the cold war. They hit the jobs market at an unmatched period of wealth creation. They have benefitted from giant leaps in technology, and in racial and gender equality.
And yet, their last act in politics sees the two main parties accusing each other of wrecking American democracy. As the boomers near the end of their political journey, John Prideaux sets out to make sense of their inheritance and their legacy.
Launching July 2024.

,1,Top countries with the most dangerous shark encounters! These countries have the most shark human incidents in the world
Subscribe for more videos: http://bit.ly/2vW6JVo
More than 300 islands make up the archipelago of Fiji, a small nation in the South Pacific with a population estimated to be just under 1 million. The majority of these incidents took place near the largest of Fiji's main island, Viti Levu, with encounters happening in the past 2 centuries. The ocean surrounding these islands just eleven hundred nautical miles away from New Zealand are so rife with sharks, in fact, that locals have turned them into an industry! The opportunity to dive with sharks in Fiji is one of the most popular tourist attractions of the nation.
The country of Mexico is a popular tourist destination, with dozens of scenic beaches located along Baja California, bordering the Gulf of Mexico, and lining the Pacific Ocean. Around 35 million people visit this nation yearly, often flooding their shores for a relaxing getaway. But such heavy, habitual traffic to beaches can eventually attract the attention of some of the most vicious predators in the ocean. Throughout the 2000s, many surfers and swimmers had risky run-ins with bull sharks, tiger sharks, and even hammerheads.
The Caribbean country of the Bahama Islands has had its fair share of sharks. Up until the 1980s, sharks seemed to occur here rarely according to data, however it is possible many more went unreported. At least 36 incidents have been reported from the island nation since 2001
The largest nation in South America is the 3.2 million-square-mile country of Brazil. The city of Recife, located in the northeastern region of Brazil, has been a particularly common sight for these treacherous incidents, with around 56 occurring near its beaches in the past 2 decades. The reason for the high activity in this part of Brazil owes to a deep trench that runs parallel to Recife's beaches as sharks will use it as a migratory route, often rising up to the shallows to hunt.
