Britain’s relationship with the European Union has always been difficult, consistently dividing British politics since it joined the EU in 1973. On June 23, Britons decide if the UK leaves or stays in the EU. The referendum is crucial for both the EU and the UK. On one hand, a Brexit could cost the EU one of its richest economies and biggest budget contributors. On the other, it could launch Britain into an uncertain future, since its economy and legal system are so entwined in Europe. The Remain campaign insists Britain is safer and stronger working with Europe; the Leave campaign wants to take back British sovereignty in financial and legal decisions.

We explore the "Vote Leave" argument's validity, and discuss what the world can expect, should Britain choose to leave the EU.

50,000 farmers who lost their land to climate change-related river erosion in Bangladesh, participated in a radical project which transformed barren land into huge pumpkin fields. Since the first trials in 2005, more than 90,000 tonnes of produce has been grown, eaten or sold by more than 16,000 of the poorest people in Bangladesh. With the effects of climate change already making its appearance in Malaysia, we found out more about the project from Nazmul Islam Chowdhury, the Project Manager of Pumpkins Against Poverty at Practical Action Bangladesh, and discuss  how we might incorporate such projects in our own lands.
