Not so fast...Trump seems unstoppable-but here's why he's vulnerable
You'd think a week spent in the snow and ice of New Hampshire, watching Donald Trump stroll to a double-digit victory over his last remaining Republican rival, would have left me filled with angst about the presidential election in November.

ICJ order UN court's Gaza decision puts the west to the test
In seeking a provisional order from the international court of justice restraining Israel from committing potentially genocidal acts in Gaza, South Africa put not just Israel's treatment of Palestinians in the dock but also the whole post-second world war rules-based order, including the authority of the ICJ itself.

Drone raids help Kyiv carry the fight deep into Russia
Last week, a motorist driving in Russia's Leningrad region came across something unusual. Men had blocked off the road. In front, a large olive-green military vehicle with cigar-shaped missiles on the back was reversing and then parked up on a snowy verge. \"Fuck! It's an S-300,\" the driver exclaimed, before adding: \"So guys, let's prepare for the worst.\"

After riots, grievances simmer at a Muslim-run soup kitchen
When Dublin erupted in a riot last November, masked youths looted shops, set fires and shouted slogans against immigrants and refugees. \"Ireland is full,\" said one banner. \"Ireland for the Irish,\" said another.

Rebel army fighters use drones to take on ruling junta
As the drones flew over western Myanmar's Chin hills, the junta did not know what was about to hit them. Their operators were hidden a few hundred metres away in the dense forest. As the images on their screens indicated the drones were hovering above the target - a military base in the town of Lailenpi-they hit the button on their controllers and bombs began to fall.

Europe is heading for dark waters, and its leaders are dozing at the tiller
Democrats fear Joe Biden is sleepwalking to disaster in a November rematch with Donald Trump. Tories level similar criticism at dozy Rishi Sunak as Labour dreams of an autumn landslide. But for a truly world-beating slumber party, EU leaders take the bedtime biscuit.

England may have given cricket to the world, but it's India's game now
Whatever the on-field result of the current Test cricket series between India and England, which began last week, off the field India will still be the winner. Indian money now rules the game.
