Axar.az reports citing New York Times.

Davos: World leaders from Japan, China, Germany and South Africa announced a greater need for global oversight of the tech sector at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, although there was no consensus for what such a system might look like.

U. S. shutdown: House Democratic leaders said they were prepared to offer President Trump $5.7 billion for border security — but not for a wall, and not until he agreed to end the government shutdown. Separately, Mr. Trump said he would deliver the State of the Union address after the federal government reopens, following a tit-for-tat with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.”

Russia: Officials put a new cruise missile on display for a foreign audience for the first time, in an attempt to rebut American accusations that the weapon violates a key nuclear arms accord. But the U.S. argued that inspecting a stationary missile would not prove compliance.

Madrid: Taxi drivers who have been protesting Uber and other ride-hailing companies in the Spanish capital clashed with police officers, leaving many injured. Their strike efforts further intensified after their counterparts in Barcelona won concessions that could force Uber to suspend service.

Auschwitz: With anti-Semitism and nationalism on the rise around the world, the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York will give attendees a vivid sense of the concentration camp where 1.1 million were killed. The exhibition is currently on display in Madrid until Feb. 3.

Lunar eclipse: On Sunday and Monday, as the Western Hemisphere looked up to watch the Earth’s shadow cover the moon, some saw a mysterious flash of light. The explanation, experts say, is that a tiny meteoroid slammed into the moon’s surface.

Australian Open: French tennis player Lucas Pouille, who came to Melbourne severely overlooked, will face Novak Djokovic in his first Grand Slam semifinal while Rafael Nadal plays Stefanos Tsitsipas of Greece. Here’s all our coverage from Melbourne.

Cambodia: An “officially amazing” 8,900-pound sticky-rice cake, the world’s longest scarf, the world’s longest dragon boat: These oddball Guinness World Record achievements are part of Prime Minister Hun Sen’s push to get young people excited about his aging regime.
