For more than 160 years, Macy's has been much more than a department store. It's a cornerstone of American shopping, with generations eager to buy everything from back-to-school clothes to holiday gifts. But now it is a surprise that the store has been forced to close, leaving millions to wonder how such a powerful and fast-moving brand could be defeated. Macy's, the US retail giant, now faces a difficult future. Signs of trouble have been showing for several years, including declining traffic, aging stores, and an inability to keep up with a fast-paced retail environment. However, experts say the real story is corporate mismanagement, intense competition, and a lack of innovation.

The Kremlin on Friday said that at least three Russians freed in a landmark prisoner exchange were undercover Russian agents, a rare public admission into the work of Moscow's top-secret security services. Moscow said Vadim Krasikov -- who was serving life in prison in Germany for the 2019 brazen murder of a former Chechen separatist commander in broad daylight in a Berlin park -- was an elite operative with Russia's FSB security agency. Krasikov was one of the central figures in Thursday's historic multi-country exchange, with Putin having publicly lobbied for his release in a bid to get the deal over the line in the face of hesitation from Berlin. The Kremlin almost never reveals details about its sprawling intelligence agencies, but it confirmed Friday that at least two others freed in the deal were also long-term undercover agents stationed in the European Union. Russian President Vladimir Putin has portrayed them as returning heroes, personally thanking them for their service to the "Motherland" and promising to shower them with state awards. For in-depth analysis on the largest US-Russia prisoner swap in post-Soviet history, FRANCE 24's Mark Owen is joined by Melinda Haring, Senior Fellow and Deputy Director of the Atlantic Council’s Eurasia Center.
