| Trump denies collusion with Russia but says he 'speaks for himself' Posted: 18 May 2017 11:24 PM PDT The president, at a remarkable press conference, was forced to deny he had done anything worthy of criminal charges – calling Russia crisis 'a witch hunt' Donald Trump denied any collusion with Russia in the 2016 election but said on Thursday he spoke "for myself", leaving open for the first time the possibility that some of his staff may have been involved. The president claimed he was the target of the "greatest witch hunt" in US political history and complained that the campaign against him was dividing the country. But asked about the justice department decision to appoint a special counsel, Robert Mueller, to investigate contacts between his campaign and Russia, Trump appeared to shift his position from previous blanket denials.

| Sea level rise will double coastal flood risk worldwide Posted: 18 May 2017 07:10 AM PDT Small but unstoppable increases will double frequency of extreme water levels with dire consequences, say scientists Small but inevitable rises in sea level will double the frequency of severe coastal flooding in most of the world with dire consequences for major cities that sit on coastlines, according to scientists. The research takes in to account the large waves and storm surges that can tip gradually rising sea levels over the edge of coastal defences. Lower latitudes will be first affected, in a great swath through the tropics from Africa to South America and throughout south-east Asia, with Europe's Atlantic coast and the west coast of the US not far behind.

| George W Bush's man in Africa to be handed Donald Trump's 'toughest job' Posted: 18 May 2017 06:28 AM PDT Mark Green, a former US ambassador to Tanzania, will need to see through huge funding cuts after receiving the presidential nod to lead USAid Donald Trump has achieved what could be seen as a first under his presidency: choosing someone to lead a state department who has met with bipartisan approval.

| Greece passes austerity measures, as markets recover from Trump slump - business live Posted: 19 May 2017 12:23 AM PDT Ahead of key eurogroup meeting, debt laden Greece paves the way for €7.5bn of bailout funds
As the markets end the week on a slightly more positive note, David Morrison, senior market strategist at Spreadco, said: There's a general feeling of relief that the US-led sell-off didn't accelerate last night. Instead, all the major US stock indices managed to post modest gains despite earlier weakness. It may be too soon to sound the all-clear but so far investors are doing exactly what they've done for the past eight years: using any significant pull-back in equity markets as a buying opportunity. But what will be of interest is to see if this bounce-back has the strength and conviction to push the indices back up towards or beyond recent record highs. Most of the trading gaps which formed after the first round of the French presidential election have now been filled.
With the overnight recovery on Wall Street after Wednesday's slump and a relatively positive performance in Asia - the Nikkei 225 ended up 0.19% - European markets are also making a positive start to trading. The FTSE 100 is up 24 points or 0.33% although pharmaceutical group Hikma is down 6% after cutting its revenue forecasts following a delay to a US drug launch. This takes its total fall this week to 10% so far. Continue reading... |
| Posted: 18 May 2017 11:30 PM PDT Lying as the norm has been with us for a while. Is the idea of post-truth another example of liberals understanding people wrongly? "In practice," Evan Davis writes, "we evidently are quite happy to believe untruths." Davis is stating what is, perhaps, the most indisputable fact regarding what has been trumpeted as the rise of a new kind of "post-truth" politics. Shrewdly, he describes the belief that we a living in a post-truth era as "an expression of frustration and anguish from a liberal class discombobulated by the political disruptions of 2016". A catch-all term used by today's liberals to describe upheavals that confounded their most basic beliefs, "post-truth" politics is like "populism" in implying that these unexpected shifts occurred because reason had been subverted. Duped by demagogues deploying new information technologies, voters disregarded argument and evidence in favour of manipulated emotion and fake news. The idea of truth was lost in a morass of relativism, and the politicians who controlled government for decades were abruptly dislodged from power.

| UK needs more immigrants to 'avoid Brexit catastrophe' Posted: 19 May 2017 12:17 AM PDT Ageing population, labour shortages and low productivity mean UK needs net inward migration of 200,000 a year, says thinktank The British economy needs a net inward migration flow of 200,000 people a year, double the Conservative target, if it is to avoid the "catastrophic economic consequences" linked to Brexit, a study by an employer-backed thinktank has said. The Global Future report says the UK's low productivity, ageing population and shortage of labour in key areas, such as the NHS, show that net migration of 200,000 will be needed annually.

| Mood in Poland shifts after Macron's victory in France | Patrick Wintour Posted: 18 May 2017 11:00 PM PDT With populists failing to break through this year, and Warsaw's ally, the UK, set to leave the EU, Poland may feel a little isolated Emmanuel Macron's election victory in France may have put "some magic in the air" in Berlin, but in Poland his triumph has poisoned the atmosphere, creating fears that his integrationist agenda will put eastern European states on the back foot.

| Iran election: polls open to choose a president – and a relationship with the west Posted: 18 May 2017 10:22 PM PDT The choice of a new president is being seen as one of the most important in recent years and will determine Tehran's future engagement Iranians headed to the polls on Friday to vote in a bitterly contested presidential election that is expected to set their country's direction for a generation.

Incumbent Hassan Rouhani, 68, is a moderate who opened his country to the world and relaxed controls on Iranian society, his four years in power defined by the landmark nuclear deal he secured against the odds.
