Democratic overtures catch Burma-watchers by surprise, but human rights campaigners say they’re sceptical: many more political prisoners remain behind bars and substantive peace talks with ethnic rebel movements are yet to happen.

Eurozone: Irish luck runs out (part 2)

They saw it coming and now it's here....the dreaded bailout is on the table. The people of Ireland have seen their once-booming economy falter, then fail. They’ve heard their politicians deny there was a problem....next thing you know Ireland is the next Greece. So what went wrong for Ireland? Can the euro survive any more crises?

Catholic Church: Going soft on contraception? (part 2)

Millions of Catholics around the world were left trying to fathom the pope’s position after Benedict 16th said that in some cases, the use of condoms could be justified.

Does this turnaround mean the Catholic Church is finally going soft on condoms?
