| Too few antibiotics in pipeline to tackle global drug-resistance crisis, WHO warns Posted: 19 Sep 2017 03:00 PM PDT Nowhere near enough new drugs are currently in development says report, which calls for urgent investment and responsible use of existing antibiotics Too few antibiotics are in the pipeline to tackle the global crisis of drug resistance, which is responsible for the rise of almost untreatable infections around the world, the World Health Organisation (WHO) warns. Among the alarming diseases that are increasing and spreading is multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (TB), which requires treatment lasting between nine and 20 months. There are 250,000 deaths a year from drug-resistant TB and only 52% of patients globally are successfully treated. But only two new antibiotics for the disease have reached the market in 70 years.

| Street art goes home: museum of graffiti opens in Berlin Posted: 20 Sep 2017 12:00 AM PDT Urban Nation, which will champion the movement and archive its works, opens with pieces by Banksy and Blek le Rat For some it is the largest and most democratic art movement the world has ever seen, for others it is unwanted visual pollution. But street art now has a permanent claim on the art world: an entire museum dedicated to the genre. Urban Nation in Berlin is the world's first major institution built to champion and archive street art and graffiti, which fully emerged in New York in the 1970s with artists who would tag the subway tunnels. Since then it has grown into a global movement, with artists making works – mostly illegally – on cityscapes around the world. Continue reading... |

| The bodega cats of Instagram: fur flies over automated food cabinet startup Posted: 19 Sep 2017 06:28 AM PDT Bodegas' resident felines are symbolic of the relaxed environment that people appreciate about their local corner store. Could their bricks-and-mortar homes be put out of business by the latest tech startup? Won't somebody think of the cats? Two former Google employees' proposal to replace corner shops with automated cabinets promoted an outpouring of scorn on social media last week, but in among the gags ("vending machines already exist") and the slurs was a semi-serious concern: won't somebody think of the cats? Bodegas' resident cats are symbolic of the personable, one-to-one service and relaxed environment that people appreciate about their local corner store – the kind of service and ambiance it's hard to replicate in a pantry for non-perishables. The Bodega entrepreneurs' choice of logo, a cat's face, was perceived to be just as inappropriate as their chosen name. Continue reading... |
| 'They've called me a traitor': Catalans divided as independence vote nears Posted: 19 Sep 2017 03:14 AM PDT Planned referendum on independence from Spain not just pitting Madrid against Barcelona, but also splitting Catalans Behind his counter in the Mercat de la Independència, a handsome modernista market that commemorates the centenary of the outbreak of Spain's war of independence in 1808, Jaume Florensa is reflecting on an earlier, if equally fateful, year in national history.

| Speech at UN sees Trump threaten Pyongyang – as it happened Posted: 19 Sep 2017 12:58 PM PDT
As the world's diplomats prepare for a long night of speeches, we're going to wrap things up for today. The highlights from today's morning session: • UN secretary general António Guterres, who took over the international body's top job in January, began the day by lamenting divisive political discourse and appealing for calmer rhetoric.
For better or for worse, it now appears that on the question of Iran – a long term obsession of Netanyahu – Trump and the Israeli prime minister are completely joined at the hip. For the Israeli prime minister, that certainly helps reinforce his standing on the domestic front, but how much it will help him in persuading other members of the international community, especially co-signatories of the Iran nuclear deal who still support it, is more questionable. The optics in the region of a US president delivering a speech that could have been written by the Israeli embassy, and Netanyahu's celebration of that speech, may have unanticipated consequences. Israel may also regret associating itself in the future so closely with such a bellicose and contradictory speech by Trump. Israel needed many long years to refute the allegation that, together with its neo-conservative lackeys in Washington, it pushed George W. Bush into the war with Iraq, and this at a time when, unlike Netanyahu, then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon maintained a low public profile. If there is a sudden and serious deterioration in relations between Washington and Tehran over the next few weeks, Israel will be hard-pressed to deny that this is what it wanted to achieve all along. When things get complicated, as they always do, it will be easy to point an accusatory finger at Netanyahu and his country. Continue reading... |

| Was Trump aiming at North Korea's Rocket Man or his friend next door? Posted: 20 Sep 2017 12:19 AM PDT US president appeared to be directly threatening overwhelming military force against Pyongyang, but experts say there might have been another message On the face of it, Donald Trump's threat to "totally destroy" North Korea was aimed squarely at Kim Jong-un and the twisted and reckless "band of criminals" he said surrounded him.

| Supplies dropped to Australian Antarctic base after first midair refuelling – video Posted: 20 Sep 2017 12:56 AM PDT An isolated Antarctic research station can now receive vital supplies all year round thanks to the Royal Australian Air Force lending its wings to science.

But now air force planes are able to fly from Victoria whenever supplies are needed. A C-17A Globemaster III dropped supplies at the station on Tuesday, the first time replenishments have come by air rather than sea. The 700kg airdrop included fresh food, medical supplies and mail for the 17 expeditioners who have spent six months at the Antarctic base.

| What did we learn from Trump's UN speech? He'll never change | Ross Barkan Posted: 19 Sep 2017 12:04 PM PDT The best we can hope for is a world where Trump and Kim decide they would rather play with other toys than their nuclear missiles Donald Trump will always be Donald Trump. If anyone hasn't yet learned that lesson, today was educational. Trump, the reality show, punchline president – he's great for the Emmys! – rambled in front of the United Nations general assembly about "Rocket Man" Kim Jong-un and threatened to "totally destroy" North Korea. His colorful language might even be funny if it weren't for the fact that Trump controls a nuclear arsenal powerful enough to annihilate humanity several times over. "If the righteous many do not confront the wicked few, then evil will triumph," Trump said, detailing the horrors of what he deemed a "depraved" North Korean regime. "Rocket Man is on a suicide mission" he said, adding: "The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea."
