Suspects have been arrested in the murder of secularist blogger Niloy Chakrabarti.

Several young Americans are suing the US government for failing to prevent the predictable damage that global heating is going to cause them.

The supposed "economic benefits" of the TTIP would amount to just .4 dollars per day per person in the US, and .2 euro per day per person in the EU.

Of course, it's not that every American or European will get that tiny benefit. Rather, nearly all the benefits will go to the rich, and everyone else may actually lose.
