North Lakes is a very large housing development on previously rural land in Moreton Bay City Council area which is the next local government area heading north from Brisbane. The massive planned community of now multiple suburbs is centred around both the lake and a large town area. There is a beautiful walk around it where birds and Eastern Water Dragons thrive. This is one quiet end.

Volgens de mensenrechtenorganisatie Foro Penal zijn 29 mensen vrijgelaten. Er zitten volgens de organisatie nog 362 politieke gevangenen vast.
De regering is met de oppositie gesprekken begonnen om het land te verzoenen. Mogelijk leiden de onderhandelingen tot nieuwe verkiezingen.
In januari werd de voormalige president van Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, samen met zijn vrouw door de Verenigde Staten gevangengenomen en naar de VS gebracht. Ze worden onder andere beschuldigd van drugssmokkel.
Nabestaanden van omgebrachte Venezolanen houden Maduro bovendien verantwoordelijk voor de opdracht tot die moorden. Er zouden zeker 1300 moorden zijn gepleegd door een Venezolaanse elite-eenheid tussen 2017 en 2020. Daartoe zou Maduro opdracht hebben gegeven.
