Our reports this week:
> To Brazil, the traditional Rio carnival could not take place due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which has already claimed more than 236,000 victims in the country. This year, the Brazilians had to be content with a virtual version of the carnival, an innovation to which samba schools had to adapt. Laura Damase, Tim Vickery and Mariam Koné
> In Hungary, Prime Minister Victor Orban has authorized the use of the Russian vaccine Sputnik V, which has not yet been authorized by the European Medicines Agency. An act of defiance, even of mistrust towards Europe or a real health emergency for this country? Gulliver Cragg
> In Germany, the health crisis is undermining one of the symbols of this country: beer! The closure of bars and restaurants threatens many breweries, which are asking for government help. Anne Maillet
> In Democratic Republic of Congo, on the highlands of Kivu, is made a surprising culinary specialty: gouda, just as good as Dutch cheese. Clement Bonnerot
