Hey guys, I missed a couple of months of current affairs before prelims. Any source to cover that stuff up from, or just Internet search? Especially for IR

guys what are some hot current related topics for 2a this year?
Democracy(Bidens focus and freedom house report), climate change(cop26), all time fav CW2.0, iran nuke deal , WHO, plurilateralism and IPR waiver in WTO, Return of big state in pandemic times, EU SAARC , G7 cornwall consensus ?
what others?

that's pretty much it. India's term at UNSC could be A or B. Climate justice is a probable one. Not sure of G7. Maybe something of Nuclear Proliferation and IAEA maybe, was in news with respect to Iran.

Guys should we draw maps in IR? If yes, then in what kind of questions? And what are your views on using direct quotes for starting a question- say S Jaishankar quote for IR?
