The
Conversation is present in nine jurisdictions around the
world. This means that we now have access to the world’s top
experts on the most pressing issues facing us. One of these is
the fact we are running out of effective antibiotics.
We
wanted to know if experts were optimistic about the future of
antibiotics. The health editors across all our editions put me
in touch with some of the brightest minds working on this
problem, and I reached out with a simple question: will we
still have antibiotics in 50 years? Reassuringly, they all said
yes. But all had major caveats.

that the conflict could draw in others in the region. Chief
among them is Hezbollah, the militant group and political
party based across Israel’s northern border in Lebanon. Julie

The
current war in Gaza is an argument in favour of a
multipolar world, one in which the U.S. has less
influence and other powers can act as countervailing
forces.

Law
and Justice emerges as the biggest party but without a
majority, leaving the door open for a large coalition
led by the former president of the European
Council.

In
the 1850s, a fight over the speakership took nearly
two months and 133 rounds of voting. But for nearly a
century, the majority party in the House has
unanimously supported its leader. No longer.

Russia’s
casualty count in Ukraine is high, but the country has
a national mythology built on loss and sacrifice.

negative impact on her life, and like many others has
decided to do something positive about it by taking a
break. | |

Like
humans, seabirds seem less likely to part ways when they have
relationships built on similar personalities. |
