    The Swift effect: US singer's influence on the economy and politics

    A bipartisan group of US senators have introduced a bill that would criminalise the spread of non-consensual, sexualised images generated through artificial intelligence. It comes after AI-generated images of pop star Taylor Swift circulated this past week on X, formerly known as Twitter.

    Race for Republican nomination: Iowa win boosts Trump's confidence

    In this special edition, we focus on Donald Trump's major win in the Iowa caucuses and what that means for this year's US presidential election. With 51 percent of the vote, Trump came out in front by 30 percentage points. His two main rivals, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former UN ambassador Nikki Haley, finished a distant second and third. The first-in-the-nation vote puts the former president on track to lock in the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential campaign. FRANCE 24's James Andre gives us his analysis.

    Chile votes in second constitutional referendum

The current one dates back to 1980 and the Pinochet dictatorship. The December 17 referendum is the second attempt to change the text. But for campaigners hoping for a more liberal document, with equal rights for women and Indigenous peoples, this new draft constitution is a big disappointment. We get analysis from Sofia Perez, professor at the Institute of Latin American Studies.
