A
little over a week ago, France got its youngest and first
openly gay prime minister. Much like his youthful mentor,
Emmanuel Macron, had aimed in 2017 to present an alternative
path beyond the right and left, it is hoped the popularity of
34-year-old Gabriel Attal will help shore up a flagging Macron
brand, following a year of controversial reforms to the
pension and immigration systems.
Will
this be enough to revive trust in the government? While there
has been some animated chatter about Attal’s age and
sexuality, many French people are looking past identity
politics to see little novelty. Hence his nickname: “Baby
Macron.” From the University of Assas, political scientist
Arnaud Mercier asks us to pay attention to what
the fourth prime minister in six years reveals about the
substance of Macronian politics.
Since
November, attacks by Houthis against Israel-linked merchant
ships in the Suez Canal have led to a sharp increase in
container prices, showing once again how dependent global
trade is on these fragile choke points. Sarah Schiffling and
Matthew Tickle brief you on the crisis and take you along some
of the lesser-known
maritime corridors of our globalised lives.
And
if you’re among those who associate the Middle Ages with
Gothic gloom and cold grey stones, these breath-taking
3D reconstructions of cathedrals might make you think
again. |

Four
different prime minister in six years is unusual under
France’s Fifth Republic. Managerial mechanics, absence of a
majority and hyper-presidency: focus on the appointment of
Gabriel Attal. |

With
the Panama Canal in drought and the Strait of Hormuz also
vulnerable to Iran, global trade routes are under severe
pressure. |

The
Middle Ages are often portrayed as dark and dirty. New
research is revealing that it was, in fact, a period filled
with light and colour. |

change is causing dengue-carrying mosquitoes to

Europe?

There
are hundreds of lost tetrapod species across the globe
and their number are increasing decade-on-decade. This
study aims to find out why some are rediscovered,
while others are not.
