COVID-19 is said to have wiped out years of progress on gender inequality. That’s why campaigners want women to be given priority when it comes to the pandemic recovery.

Who’s got more pull with the United States - Germany and the biggest economy in Europe or smaller European countries like Ukraine and the Baltic States? No surprise if you guessed Germany. Because the US has now done a complete U-turn and given its backing to a massive gas pipeline from Russia. Ukraine and the others want it blocked, but Germany says it is essential for European energy.

If someone is a liar and someone else gives them a stage, how can you believe those providing the stage if they say they’re going to stop the lies from being heard? Which goes to the heart of European Union plans to prevent companies such as Facebook etc from spreading disinformation. Is it at all possible?
