February 1, 2023: Tyre Nichols funeral, Debt ceiling talks, Ukraine rockets, Trump's fundraising, UK mass strike

1. Family and friends of Tyre Nichols will pay their final respects on Wednesday to the Black 29-year-old father whose fatal encounter with Memphis police last month transformed him into the new face of the U.S. racial justice movement.

2. President Joe Biden and Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy are set to discuss the nation's $31.4 trillion debt ceiling, a meeting that will give a first sign of how the two will work together, or fail to, in a divided Washington.

3. News that the United States could soon send rockets nearly doubling the firing range of Ukrainian forces gave Kyiv a big lift, even as its troops were being pushed back by a relentless Russian winter offensive in the east.

4. Donald Trump's bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024 got off to a modest fundraising start, with his campaign ending the year with about $7 million on hand while his Save America fund had about $18 million, according to financial disclosures released.

5. Up to half a million British teachers, civil servants, and train drivers walked out over pay in the largest coordinated strike action for a decade, with unions threatening more disruption as the government digs its heels in over pay demands.
