Does the conviction of Jérôme Kerviel for single-handedly squandering 4.9 billion euros make him the poster child for a banking system gone crazy? Perhaps, but he might also be a scapegoat for a system where reform might be stalling.

Is Saudi Arabia in trouble? (part 2)

With dissent at the doorstep of the world’s largest oil producer, the Kingdom may be rich but it still has the same problems as its neighbours – high inflation and high youth unemployment coupled with demands for more freedom.

He was once dubbed the mad dog of the middle east by US President Ronald Reagan and this week he lived up to his nickname by promising to annihilate his opponents in a ranting hour long speech. Just how far is Gadhafi prepared to go in order to hold on to power?
