Europe’s future: Sign of life

Yesterday Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, presented an ambitious set of proposals for the EU’s future. Among them were a rash of trade deals, a beefed-up cyber-security agency and a promise to expand the EU to the western Balkans. The speech showed renewed confidence in the EU’s importance. But behind his ambition is a quiet fear that it could all go wrong again, writes our European politics columnist
Global progress: Moving into the slow lane
A report published yesterday by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation suggests that while the world has made enormous strides in recent decades against poverty and illnesses, progress may be faltering. The wealthy philanthropists are usually heroically optimistic. But now they worry that changes in demography and in donor preferences may threaten the future of millions, if not billions, of people


Protests in Togo: Weeping and gnashing
In recent weeks thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of Lomé, capital of the little west African state of Togo, to force President Faure Gnassingbé to resign. At least two protesters have been killed and dozens arrested. Street protests have recently led to the fall of several west African governments. But the Togolese opposition is more likely to face brutal oppression than to achieve its aims, writes our west Africa correspondent
Conservation: Bullish on bears

凡事唯有投入,結果才能深入; 凡事唯有付出,結果才能傑出;
凡事唯有磨鍊,結果才能熟練; 凡事唯有不煩,結果才能不凡。
能與智者同行,你會不同凡響; 能與高人為伍,你能登上巔峰。
你雖不能改變環境,但卻可以轉換心境;你雖不能樣樣勝利,但卻可以事事盡力。
