A New Wonder Drug For Babies

Despite a cold winter, Arctic sea ice is melting even faster than last year.

Johann Hari in the Independent: "Science has discovered a drug that can save 13% of all babies who currently die. It will make your baby cleverer. It will dramatically slash their chances of developing heart disease, diabetes, leukaemia, asthma or obesity as an adult. It is free."

Ian Loader, professor of criminology at Oxford:

It may be no accident that crime came to dominate British politics around the time that governments lost faith in their capacity to deliver other forms of security: we may not be able to save your job or guarantee your pension, but we will protect you from criminals.
