Russia has sent the clearest signal yet that it will soon default — the first time it will have failed to meet its foreign debt obligations since the Bolshevik revolution more than a century ago. Half of the country's foreign reserves — roughly $315 billion — have been frozen by Western sanctions imposed after the invasion of Ukraine, Russian finance minister Anton Siluanov said on Sunday. As a result, Moscow will repay creditors from "countries that are unfriendly" in rubles until the sanctions are lifted, he said. Credit ratings agencies would likely consider Russia to be in default if Moscow misses payments or repays debt issued in dollars or euros with other currencies such as the ruble or China's yuan. A default could drive the few remaining foreign investors out of Russia and further isolate the country's crumbling economy. The default could come as early as Wednesday, when Moscow needs to hand over $117 million in interest payments on dollar-denominated government bonds, according to JPMorgan Chase. Although Russia has issued bonds that can be repaid in multiple currencies since 2018, these payments must be made in US dollars. Imminent defaultKristalina Georgieva, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, said Sunday that a Russian default is no longer "improbable.""Russia has the money to service its debt, but cannot access it," she said during an interview on CBS' Face the Nation. Last week, Fitch Ratings downgraded Russian debt, saying Moscow's willingness and ability to service its debts has been undermined and default "is imminent." The ratings agency also warned that Russia may attempt to repay creditors in specified countries in rubles. Analysts at Capital Economics said that a default was already reflected in the price of Russia's dollar bonds, which have crashed to trade at just 20 cents on the dollar. The interest payments due Wednesday come with a 30-day grace period. But credit ratings agencies could declare Russia to be in default before that period ends if Moscow makes clear that it does not intend to pay. Russia last defaulted on its domestic debt when the country was plunged into a financial crisis by a collapse in commodity prices in 1998. Its most recent foreign currency default came in 1918 when Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin repudiated bonds issued by the Tsarist government. What happens nextThe Russian government has borrowed relatively little. JPMorgan estimates that it had about $40 billion of foreign currency debt at the end of last year, with about half of that held by foreign investors. But the potential consequences of a default are difficult to gauge. The 2008 global financial crisis and the coronavirus pandemic showed how negative shocks can spread across the modern interconnected global financial system and economy. International banks are owed more than $121 billion by Russian entities, according to the Bank for International Settlements. European banks have over $84 billion total claims, with France, Italy and Austria the most exposed, and US banks owed $14.7 billion. Georgieva said Sunday that a financial crisis was unlikely to develop "for now," saying that the exposure of Western banks was "not systemically relevant. "Even if Moscow halts payments to foreign investors on all sovereign debt, the roughly $60 billion default — including ruble debt held overseas — would be in the same ballpark as Argentina's in 2020 — a non-event for markets. But analysts at Capital Economics warned that one major financial institution might be particularly exposed to Russian debt, which could cause broader financial contagion. A second risk is that a default could trigger missed payments by Russian companies. Vladimir Potanin, Russia's richest businessman, called last week for Moscow to ease restrictions on foreign currency so that interest could be paid on foreign bonds and loans. Otherwise, there was a risk the country could default on its entire external debt, which he estimated at about $480 billion. "For Russia, the main cost is being locked out of global capital markets, or at least higher borrowing costs for a prolonged period. But sanctions have done that anyway," wrote analysts at Capital Economics.

The equivalent of missing what should be an easy layup, "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty" stumbles on the road to greatness, undermining can't-miss subject matter for basketball fans with an uneven, at times farcical tone. Although '80s-style excess clearly accounts for much of the sizzle, this exercise feels like a no-look pass that skips out of bounds. Produced by "Don't Look Up's" Adam McKay (who also directed the first episode), and based on Jeff Pearlman's book about the period, the 10-episode series focuses on the first season in which new owner Jerry Buss (John C. Reilly) drafted rookie phenom Earvin "Magic" Johnson (standout newcomer Quincy Isaiah), winning the first of five NBA titles in a decade. In addition to their passion for basketball, the late Buss and Johnson (who has notably disavowed the project) shared a playboy lifestyle, while transforming the Forum, where the Lakers played their games, into the hottest ticket in town. What came to be known as the "Showtime" Lakers (a title left unused by HBO for obvious reasons) featured a larger-than-life collection of personalities, and a series of soap-opera-worthy twists, like coach Jerry West (Jason Clarke) quitting, but still hanging around; and new coach Jack McKinney (Tracy Letts) suffering a devastating accident that left overwhelmed assistant Paul Westhead (Jason Segel) in charge. Still, "Winning Time" feels too cute for its own good, especially in the early going, when characters keep breaking the fourth wall to chat directly with the audience, and everyone but Buss and Magic appears to be kind of a jerk. To be fair, the series settles down a bit after that (eight of the 10 episodes were previewed), focusing on fleshing out individual players, from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (Solomon Hughes, a mere 6'11") to Buss' daughter Jeanie (Hadley Robinson), treated abysmally by her direct bosses because she's the owner's kid. John C. Reilly as Dr. Jerry Buss in 'Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty.'There are some memorable moments scattered along the way, such as Buss' encounter with Boston Celtics president Red Auerbach (Michael Chiklis), who sizes up the real-estate mogul as a dilettante and dismisses him as any threat to the Celtics' aspirations. Reilly also makes the most of Buss' flamboyance, spending almost drunkenly as he hangs off the edge of a financial cliff and assures everyone who asks, "Let me worry about the money. "For those wondering, most of the actors are roughly six inches shorter than their real-life counterparts, but the basketball sequences -- and the clever washed-out tones used in shooting the entire production -- work quite well. Isaiah captures Johnson's charisma and infectious enthusiasm, but also his competitive streak, particularly given the attention showered on fellow rookie superstar Larry Bird (Sean Patrick Small), the league's "great White hope. "Yet despite its all-star lineup, which includes Sally Field as Buss' mother and Adrien Brody as future coach Pat Riley, "Winning Time" plays too fast and loose -- approaching its material with an irreverence, from snippets of animation to cheeky on-screen chyrons, in a way that's periodically off-putting. What should be catnip to those who watched ESPN's docuseries "The Last Dance" misses that target, winding up in a creative no-man's land. Buss does emerge as a visionary, someone who recognized the NBA's potential and Johnson's magnetism not just to win titles, and thanks to the rivalry with the Celtics, elevating the entire league's fortunes. It's a high-stakes, fact-based story that requires scant embellishment, one that could do for sports what "Succession" does for media. That blue-chip roster, however, only makes "Winning Time's" shortcomings more glaring. While the Lakers rose to the occasion, the series falls short of its potential in terms of conjuring premium-TV magic. "Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty" premieres March 6 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO, which, like CNN, is a unit of WarnerMedia. Correction: An earlier version of this story identified Red Auerbach as the owner of the Boston Celtics. During the period covered in the show he was the general manager, not the owner.

First, it was the feud between Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Florida Sen. Rick Scott over the latter's 11-point plan to "rescue" America if Republicans win majorities in Congress this fall. Now, Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson has caused a stir by suggesting -- and then un-suggesting -- that Republicans would work to repeal the Affordable Care Act if they retake power in Washington. "For example, if we're going to repeal and replace Obamacare — I still think we need to fix our health-care system — we need to have the plan ahead of time so that once we get in office, we can implement it immediately, not knock around like we did last time and fail," Johnson said during a Breitbart News Radio interview Monday morning first flagged by The Washington Post. That would be a very big deal! After all, congressional Republicans spent the better part of the last decade -- legislatively and legally -- trying to dismantle the ACA. They repeatedly failed in that effort. And despite a rocky start to the health care program -- the failure of the initial website to sign up for coverage being the most obvious example -- the public has warmed to the law, which is colloquially known as Obamacare. In an October 2021 Kaiser Family Foundation poll, almost 6 in 10 (58%) of Americans said they had a favorable view of the law, while just 41% viewed it unfavorably. Taking the ACA away -- or even talking about taking it away -- then is politically unwise. Which may explain why Johnson, who faces re-election this year, released a statement Monday night, um, clarifying his position.
THE POINT -- NOW ON YOUTUBE!
In each episode of his weekly YouTube show, Chris Cillizza will delve a little deeper into the surreal world of politics. Click to subscribe!
"During a radio interview I used our failure to repeal and replace Obamacare as an example of how we need to be prepared to deliver on whatever agenda items we decide to run on," said Johnson. "I was not suggesting repealing and replacing Obamacare should be one of those priorities. Even when we tried and failed, I consistently said our effort should focus on repairing the damage done by Obamacare and transitioning to a health system that works. "Which, well, ok! But, the problem for Johnson -- and for McConnell and other members of Republican leadership -- is that Johnson initially said what he said, which sounded a whole lot like Republicans would work to repeal and replace Obamacare if they were in the Senate majority. It's the latest problem for McConnell caused by members of his own conference, a series of self-inflicted wounds that give Democrats some hope that they may be able to retain their razor-thin majority in the Senate come November. Much of last week was taken up with a public back and forth between McConnell and Scott, the chair of Senate Republicans' campaign arm, over the Florida Republican's decision to release his own policy agenda for America if/when Republicans regain the majority. The provisions in Scott's plan include finishing construction of the southern border wall and naming it after former President Donald Trump, requiring all Americans to pay income taxes, and establishing a sunset provision for all federal legislation after five years. "We will not have as part of our agenda a bill that raises taxes on half the American people, and sunsets Social Security and Medicare within five years," McConnell said in response last week. "That will not be a part of the Republican Senate majority agenda. "Not long after, Scott penned an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal arguing: "If we have no bigger plan than to be a speed bump on the road to socialism, we don't deserve to govern. Most Republicans in Congress agree, but many live in fear of speaking the truth in Washington. "No sooner had that back and forth abated -- for the time being -- than this kerfuffle with Johnson sprung up, drawing swift Democratic condemnation. All of it works against McConnell's most basic premise heading into the 2022 midterms: Make the entire election a referendum on President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats.

The parallels between "The Gilded Age" and Julian Fellowes' earlier creation "Downton Abbey" aren't hard to spot, which doesn't make this HBO drama any less delicious. Set in the moneyed corridors of New York during the 1880s, Fellowes and his sprawling cast have delivered another sharp look at wealth and class in earlier times, when even those with the gold chafed against the intricate rules. The backdrop here lies not in British aristocracy but rather the hostility of old-money families toward what they dismissively refer to as "the new people," those who have recently come into fortunes but lack the arrived-on-the-Mayflower claims to elite status. That intra-class warfare and the ostentatious displays of wealth associated with it are viewed in part through the wide eyes of a new arrival, Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson, the youngest of Meryl Streep's talented acting daughters), who, after the death of her father, travels from rural Pennsylvania to reside with her two aunts, the imperious Agnes van Rhijn (Christine Baranski) and mousier Ada Brook (Cynthia Nixon).Agnes married well, allowing her sister, as she notes, "the pure and tranquil life of a spinster." Like the Dowager Countess in "Downton," Fellowes graces her with all the best lines, which Baranski delivers with dripping venom, her fangs barely concealed. To her constant irritation, the "new" people to whom she objects reside directly across the street, in the form of railroad baron George Russell (Morgan Spector) and his wife Bertha (Carrie Coon), who employ a Downton-like array of servants. When not maintaining the mansion, the downstairs folk gossip about the Russells' prospects of being accepted into high society, which is Bertha's relentless goal. "She's built a palace to entertain the sort of people who will never come here," sneers Bertha's maid (Kelley Curran), while plotting as to how she can escape such service. Cynthia Nixon, Christine Baranski (foreground) play sisters in 'The Gilded Age.'This American version also brings race into the mix, with Marian's trip introducing her to Peggy Scott (Denée Benton), an aspiring Black writer who takes a position in Agnes's employ. Marian's desire to become Peggy's friend betrays both her naivete and the overt racism of the times, though with marginal depth, a perhaps inevitable function of everything else that's unfolding upstairs and downstairs. Fellowes remains an absolute master at juggling a dizzying number of subplots as well as finding intriguing wrinkles in characters with relatively small roles, such as Blake Ritson as Agnes's scheming son. There's a particular embarrassment of riches on the actress side, with Audra McDonald, Jeanne Tripplehorn and Donna Murphy to help class up the already-classy joint. The early episodes (five of the nine were previewed) also impressively chew through story, indicating that while the dresses might look stiff and confining, the pacing isn't. The casting is as impeccable as the period costumes, with Jacobson as the marginally modern newcomer caught in the middle of these old grudges, and Coon and Spector excelling as the ultimate power couple, playing a long game in leveraging their wealth to break down the barriers erected by the entrenched establishment. One of the tensions involves the question of Marian marrying for something other than financial advantage, a prospect greeting with horror by her pragmatic aunt. "Will you concede nothing to my age and experience?" Agnes asks her. Although real-life figures from the period pass through the story, "The Gilded Age" quickly carves out a dense reality all its own. And while several characters have obvious "Downton" counterparts (including life in the closet for gays during this era), the Yankee flavor distinguishes the series enough to stand apart from it. It's early to pronounce this fully as another "Downton"-like addiction, with one movie and another on the way. Yet Fellowes has laid out the foundation for a period soap with that lofty potential, in what is already a very enticing piece of "Abbey"-adjacent real estate. "The Gilded Age" premieres Jan. 24 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO, which, like CNN, is a unit of WarnerMedia.

One of the tensinos invloves the qusetion of Marian marriyng for somehting ohter tahn fianncial adavntage, a prospcet greteing wtih hroror by her pargmatic anut. "Will you concdee ntohing to my age and experience?" Agnes akss her.

In February 2018 at the PyeongChang Winter Games, an 18-year-old Maame Biney made history as the first Black woman to compete for the United States short track speed skating team at an Olympics. Within two years, she was seriously considering walking away from the ice. Yet as Beijing prepares to raise the curtain on the 2022 Games on Friday, Biney -- equipped with her customary perpetual smile -- is arriving at her second Olympics stronger than ever. The 22-year-old stamped her ticket to Beijing with a first-placed finish at the US short track Olympic trials in December, marking a triumphant recovery after coming "pretty close" to quitting the sport at the outset of 2020.Biney races during her women's 1,500 meters short track speed skating heat at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Gangneung, South Korea. "I really wanted to just be done because there were so many things that were not going my way," Biney told CNN Sport's Coy Wire in January. "I finished out the season and I was like, 'I'll try again' and I'm pretty happy that I did because I met some amazing people along the way in the last two years. "Having competed in the 500m and 1,500m events in PyeongChang, Biney did not return home to Virginia with a medal but undoubtedly left a lasting impact -- not least on aspiring Black athletes in the US. "It meant a lot because I know that I was able to represent my community in ways that they haven't felt represented," Biney said. "Especially in sports and especially in a sport that is majority White and Asian. Being able to fulfill that dream and hopefully let other young Black women and men really just say, 'Oh man, I can overcome these obstacles that are in my life.'"I hope that I was able to stir that pot a little bit within them. "Biney trains ahead of the 2022 Winter Olympics at the Capital Indoor Stadium on January 31 in Beijing, China. SpotlightBiney admitted struggling to cope with the limelight and pressure that came with her historic Games debut in an interview with the Olympics Channel Podcast last month. Her famous smile and bubbly personality -- the subject of intense media spotlight -- masked anxieties and a weight on her shoulders that felt "way too heavy. "Yet Biney now feels she has the tools to deal with such issues, a resilience bolstered by a loving support network. "I've learned how mentally strong I am and how I can overcome the obstacles and the speed bumps that that life brings me," Biney told Wire. "I've also learned that I have a really big and very supportive community behind me that wants me to do well. "Even if I don't do well or even if I'm disappointed within myself, they're still there for me and they still love me for who I am as a human being, which is amazing. "Members of the US short track speed skating team, including Biney (C) and Julie Letai (R), take part in a training session in Beijing.'The world needs more laughter'She subsequently headed to Beijing free of pressure, weighed down by nothing but a feeling of raw excitement. "I've worked a lot and I've worked super hard in order to get to this point and I'm super, super excited to represent the US in Beijing," Biney said. "I don't really have any expectations. I'm just gonna go out there and race and have fun and be happy and be confident within my abilities and we'll see where that gets me. "Biney presents on the Voices of the Future panel at the espnW Summit held in Caliorfnia on October 2, 2018.A CNN interview and profile done before her Games debut in 2018 described Biney's smile as "a toothy, 1,000-watt grin that blooms across most of her lower face," a manifestation of her "boundless positivity. "It is telling of Biney's personality then, that her only explicit expectation for Beijing this month is that she spreads happiness. "The world needs more laughter," Biney said. "The world needs a lot of smiling and happiness in general because it's not a great world sometimes to be in. "If people are able to laugh and cry of joy and happiness, have love in their life, then their life is going to be more fulfilled. I hope that me being there will help them achieve that.
