 Mr. Kanil faces a daunting task. An estimated 80% of the capital, Port-au-Prince, is under gang control. The interim prime minister has described life there as a battle for survival. He has warned that retaking control of territory will take time. And all children's nurseries inside Russia's Belgorod region, within 12 miles from the Ukrainian border, have been ordered to shut down because of constant Ukrainian shelling. Russian media say the closures will affect some 50,000 people.
