Arkiv-Global View

With the latest warnings delivered by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) over the past few weeks, no world leader will ever be able to claim that they were caught off-guard by climate change.

As former heads of state ourselves, we've experienced global crises from within the corridors of power. Some may take the world by surprise, but sometimes the warning signals are such that there is no excuse not to act. The IPCC report is such a signal.

Esiste un problema Seedorf in generale e un problema più tecnico che riguarda Balotelli. Nessuno dei due facilmente risolvibile. In tre mesi Seedorf è riuscito a cancellare qualunque tradizione del Milan, di solito un buon presepe comandato da un dio irascibile ma comprensivo. Non è chiaro cos’abbia combinato Seedorf per mettersi tutti contro. I suoi ex compagni, anche quelli del Botafogo, lo definiscono un rompiscatole illuminato, a cui perdoni le manie di grandezza perché bravo e ormai vecchio, quindi da rispettare per principio più che per convinzione.

A confrontation between neighbouring Slavic states with deep historic and cultural connections, and a shared political past in which both were members of a one-party communist federation. One of the states is significantly larger, more populous and militarily more powerful than the other. The bigger, more powerful state has a sizable population of co-nationals who live in the smaller state. This population constitutes a minority of the citizens of the smaller state, but are the local majority or plurality in extensive areas.

The risk of skin cancer is highest in the south-west of England, while the chances of developing lung cancer are higher in London and the big northern cities, according to a new “health atlas”, which has been launched today. Using existing health data, researchers have for the first time produced maps which will allow people living in England and Wales to check the risk of 14 different diseases and health conditions – including common cancers and heart disease – in their own postcode area.

They are male and female, young and old, black, white and Asian, with hijab and without, but they are all Muslims. And they are all happy.

That's the message of a new video which shows dozens of British Muslims dancing their hearts out, laughing, singing and smiling along to Pharrell Williams' hit single "Happy".

Produced by a group of young Muslims called Honesty Policy, the four-minute video is infectious and its unashamedly positive message has gone viral more than 300,000 hits (and rising) on YouTube this week. Just try and watch it without smiling – you'll fail.
