Negotiations have hit a wall. Neither side looks ready to budge as President Donald Trump seeks $5 billion from Congress to fund his Mexican border wall. Senior White House adviser Stephen Miller said the administration would do “whatever is necessary,” including shutting down the federal government, to get it. Meanwhile, Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer said Trump was “not going to get the wall in any form.” Seven spending bills are set to expire Friday, potentially impacting a quarter of the government including national parks and the Department of Homeland Security.

An estimated 15,000 people joined demonstrations yesterday in Budapest against a law allowing employers to demand hundreds of hours of overtime yet delay wages by up to three years. Marchers, who also used the opportunity to rail against right-wing Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, headed to Hungary’s public television headquarters in freezing temperatures to read a statement, but were rebuffed. Meanwhile, pro-government media blamed the unrest on Hungarian-born billionaire George Soros. Since Wednesday, dozens have been arrested and several police officers have been injured.

Ranil Wickremesinghe was sworn in yesterday for the fifth time in his career in what supporters celebrated as a defeat of a “coup.” Although in a speech soon after, President Maithripala Sirisena, who fired Wickremesinghe in October, expressed doubt the two could work together. Sri Lanka’s Supreme Court ruled last week that Wickremesinghe’s ousting was unconstitutional, finally forcing his Sirisena-appointed replacement, former strongman Mahinda Rajapaksa, to leave the position Saturday. Rajapaksa had lost two no-confidence votes in Parliament but predicted his party would soon return to power.

Colin Kroll was found dead in his Manhattan apartment by police on Sunday after his girlfriend requested a welfare check. Kroll helped found Vine, the six-second video platform, and followed the company to Twitter after its purchase. After being fired he moved on to create the viral game show app HQ Trivia. But his newest venture had faced funding issues after accusations surfaced of Kroll’s inappropriate behavior toward women during his time at Twitter. Police reportedly found drugs at the scene, and Kroll’s death is being investigated as an overdose.

Wong Ching-kit livestreamed his arrest Sunday after he reportedly tossed hundreds of dollars in bank notes from a building in one of Hong Kong’s poorest neighborhoods. Video shows passers-by on Fuk Wa Street scrambling to collect the money fluttering to the ground.

The “exceptionally well-preserved” private tomb is thought to be the final resting place of a purification priest named Wahtye who served King Neferirkare during the fifth dynasty. Archaeologists say the site, found in a pyramid complex southwest of Cairo, is in pristine condition — and remarkably hasn’t been looted. Photographs from inside the tomb show colorful hieroglyphics and detailed wall carvings, but not yet a sarcophagus. This is just one of a number of high-profile archaeological finds Egypt’s government hopes will draw tourists back to the country.

College is hard enough. But students in South Sudan — a young country racked by civil war and poverty — are making it work, thanks to flexible institutions and a high demand for education. Universities are sharing resources, relying on donations, pushing evening and weekend classes so students can keep their day jobs, and boosting staff: The country’s five public universities tripled their academic staff between 2012 and 2017. The creativity and resolve spell success for South Sudan and also offer a model for other war-torn nations.

“Should be tested in courts, can’t be legal?” So tweeted President Trump Sunday after catching SNL’s season finale, which included a spoof of It’s a Wonderful Life imagining a world where Trump wasn’t president. Returning cameos included Matt Damon’s Brett Kavanaugh, who wasn’t confirmed to the Supreme Court, and Ben Stiller’s Michael Cohen, who reassured Trump he’d “never ever flip” on him. It’s not the first time Trump’s criticized the NBC show or questioned the First Amendment: He previously suggested the FCC should revoke the network’s license over unflattering coverage.

Race organizers have given the Welsh cyclist and 2018 victor a replica of the black and gold cup after the original was stolen in September.
