Ukrainian drivers evacuated - stuck at the Polish border
Ukraine is preparing an evacuation of the truck drivers who are stuck at the border with Poland, writes the Kyiv Independent.
Since November 6, Polish truck drivers have been blocking their Ukrainian counterparts, who they say are dumping prices, from entering the country. Increasingly cold weather makes the situation at the border unsustainable, according to Ukraine.
- We have run out of time for compromises, says Ukraine's Acting Infrastructure Minister Serhii Derkach to the newspaper.
Two Ukrainian drivers have died at the border, both from what are believed to be natural causes.

The EU-China relationship
China abolishes visa requirements for five EU countries
China opens its borders to tourists for up to fifteen days without visa requirements, writes Reuters.
The new rules will be introduced on a trial basis starting next year and will apply to citizens of France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and Malaysia.
Previously, citizens of 54 countries were allowed to travel to China without a visa. For most EU countries, however, the visa rules still apply.
"We hope that the Chinese government introduces the same rules as announced today for all EU countries," writes Patricia Flor, Germany's ambassador to China, on X.

The Turbulence of Open AI
Analysis: Ideological battle as Open AI's board takes shape
A new Open AI board is taking shape and it's the front line in an ideological battle between those who want to let AI technology be controlled by market forces and those who want to prevent it from running amok.
The new board appears to go from a preponderance of researchers and academics to people with a business background, writes CNBC. The Economist describes it as commercial pragmatism and those who want to accelerate development gaining an upper hand over academic idealism.
But the entire board has not been elected yet and it is still unclear whether the major owner Microsoft and Altman himself will get a seat, writes WSJ.
Elon Musk, who was involved in the start of Open AI, writes on X that "civilization is at stake" and that board members who understand AI and can stand up to Altman are needed.
Bloomberg columnist Parmy Olson writes that "humanity needs an Open AI board that can say no". She urges them to include women and minorities on the board as these groups have the most to lose if the technology is not checked against discrimination.
