In Tunisia, 12 years after the revolution, citizens are still asking, "How do you expect me to make a living?"

Twelve years after a revolution that overthrew a dictator Tunisians are leaving the country in droves in the midst of a socio-economic crisis and political instability.

Ukraine says Russia is using the cold as a weapon against Ukrainians, by targeting the country's ability to heat and power homes. Repair crews are struggling to restore power to damaged areas.

Sixty percent of Ukrainians who fled their homes for other parts of the country have lost their jobs, as Russia's invasion has upended industries and destroyed businesses.
