In an election where every vote counts, Hurricane Sandy forces the two candidates to review their schedule... and tone down the rhetoric. Instead, the battle for the White House is going to play out fiercly but more quietly in the trenches as campaigners do all they can to energise potential voters.

Is Haiti fit to vote? (second part)

Cities in ruins and a raging cholera epidemic. Some might say Haiti is not in the best position to hold an election.

Or is it enough of a challenge just surviving day to day? Before we kick off tonight’s debate, let’s remind ourselves of the daily struggle for survival in Haiti.

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.
