Chile is on the cusp of replacing its Pinochet-era constitution with a radically progressive new alternative.Three years after mass protests swept the nation, an elected group of citizens have rewritten their constitution.

Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich has delivered unprecedented success for his team, London's Chelsea Football Club, in the English Premier League. But with sanctions tightening around Abramovich, who is on the list of those deemed to be enabling Russian President Vladimir Putin in his war against Ukraine, the team's finances and ethics are under the microscope.
