• The World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, took place this week.

With the curtain drawn on yet another World Economic Forum in Davos, the picturesque Swiss town will once again slink back out of the limelight.

But this year's event — which coincided with Donald Trump's return to the White House — will likely linger in the memory.

2025's forum saw a host of world leaders, executives, and celebrities come together in the Alpine town to discuss some of the hottest global topics, including AI, the workplace, DOGE, and social media.

It also saw protests, parties, and a virtual address from Trump himself.

Business Insider's editor in chief Jamie Heller was on the ground alongside BI's international editor Spriha Srivastava, deputy editor Dan DeFrancesco, and senior correspondent Hugh Langley.

Here's a look at the week through their eyes.

The Alpine town, which doubles as a ski resort, has hosted the WEF since 1971.

This year's event saw Donald Trump back in the White House. He made a virtual address to a packed out room.

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi was among the many execs to make the trip to Switzerland.

Other famous faces included Bill Nye, who spoke with Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis.

AI was once again high on the agenda.

BI's Spriha Srivastava moderated a number of panels at this year's forum.

Security was tight at the event, which included world leaders like Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Protesters made their voices heard on issues like the climate crisis.

Some of the latest tech was on display throughout the week, including the Apple Vision Pro.

Robotic dogs also got a runout.

• Diageo has denied reports that it is considering selling Guinness or its stake in Moët Hennessy.
• Bloomberg had reported that the company was reviewing its portfolio.
• Diageo said in a statement on Sunday that it had "no intention to sell either."

Drinks giant Diageo has denied reports that it is considering selling Guinness or its stake in Moët Hennessy.

In a statement on Sunday, the company responded to "recent media speculation" and said that it had "no intention to sell either."

Bloomberg reported on Friday that Diageo was reviewing its portfolio and weighing up spinning off or selling Guinness. The report said Diageo's stake in Moët Hennessy was also being reviewed.

"We will next update the market with Interim results on 4 February 2025 and we look forward to hosting our Guinness investor and analyst day on 19/20 May 2025," Diageo said in its statement.

The company's share price surged by around 4% on Friday following the reports that it was considering a sale.

Diageo is a global leader in alcoholic beverages. Its portfolio also includes brands such as Johnnie Walker, Captain Morgan, and Don Julio.

Guinness has enjoyed increasing popularity in recent years and has captured younger generations of drinkers. Celebrities have also boosted its profile, with stars like Kim Kardashian posting photos with the beverage. Singer Olivia Rodrigo also wore a "Guinness is good 4 U" T-shirt while performing in Dublin last year.

Trends like "splitting the G," a game in which drinkers aim to take a big sip so that the drink comes to halfway down the "G" on the glass, have also helped boost its popularity.

Guinness saw a spike in demand in the run-up to the holiday period — leading to Diageo rationing supplies.

Last year, the company sold its majority stake in Guinness Nigeria to the Singapore-headquartered company Tolaram.

• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine has captured two North Korean soldiers.
• Zelenskyy said the two soldiers were wounded and had been taken to Kyiv.
• South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS) has reportedly confirmed their capture.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine has captured two wounded North Korean soldiers.

In a statement posted on X on Saturday, Zelenskyy said the soldiers had been captured in Russia's Kursk region and had been taken to Kyiv, where they were now "communicating with the Security Service of Ukraine." He added that they were receiving the "necessary medical assistance."

Zelenskyy also shared images of two injured men, but he did not provide evidence that they were North Korean.

"This was not an easy task: Russian forces and other North Korean military personnel usually execute their wounded to erase any evidence of North Korea's involvement in the war against Ukraine," Zelenskyy said, adding that he had instructed Ukraine's security service to allow journalists access to the captured soldiers.

South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS) has reportedly confirmed their capture.

The NIS told AFP that it had "confirmed that the Ukrainian military captured two North Korean soldiers on January 9 in the Kursk battlefield in Russia".

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has also shared some details from their questioning of the pair.

The SBU said the North Korean soldiers did not speak Ukrainian, English, or Russian, "so communication with them is carried out through interpreters of Korean," with help from the NIS.

The SBU said that one soldier told interrogators that he believed he had been sent for training, not to fight in the war against Ukraine.

It added that one of the soldiers was found with a Russian military ID card "issued in the name of another person," while the other had no documentation with him.

The soldier with the ID card stated that he was born in 2005 and that he had been serving as a rifleman in the North Korean military since 2021.

The other was born in 1999 and had been a scout sniper in the North Korean army since 2016, the SBU said, citing "preliminary information."

Pyongyang reportedly began sending troops to Russia in October.

White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby said last month that Russia was using North Korean troops to carry out "human wave" assaults on Ukrainian positions, resulting in heavy casualties.

"It is clear that Russian and North Korean military leaders are treating these troops as expendable and ordering them on hopeless assaults against Ukrainian defenses," Kirby said. "These North Korean soldiers appear to be highly indoctrinated, pushing attacks even when it is clear that those attacks are futile."

Zelenskyy said last month that preliminary estimates suggested that more than 3,000 of Pyongyang's soldiers had been killed or wounded in Kursk.

He previously said that Russian forces had been trying "to literally burn the faces of North Korean soldiers killed in battle" in an effort to "conceal" their losses.

In December, a North Korean soldier believed to be the first to be captured by Ukrainian forces died from his injuries, South Korea's National Intelligence Service (NIS) said, per Yonhap news agency.
