EU

This is only a ____ for Greece's finanicial problems. I'm more worried about a STUPID scenario!

Oettinger's atrocious English

Since the German commissioner made a speech in atrocious English, he's no longer faceless. He's notorious. And a laughing stock. Is this fair? Tell us what you think!

Our new leaders

Mr and Mrs Europe

The European Union has chosen the prime minister of Belgium, Herman Van Rompuy, as its first permanent president and Britain’s Catherine Ashton as its first foreign policy chief. Few people had ever heard of either of them. We look at press comment on their selection.

A very Greek election

This week, we look at comment on the Greek election and on the Irish "yes" vote for the Lisbon treaty, as well as on the winners of the 2009 Nobel Prize in medicine.

Winners and losers

US: When finance ministers and central bank governors meet in Pittsburgh for the G-20 summit, they'll be discussing key issues in the global economy. Protesters in the city will also make their voices heard.

Too old for what?

In many ways, I have had a lucky life. In particular, as a white British male, I have rarely experienced any overt form of negative discrimination. But at last I have become a member of a group that is often discriminated against.

Pipe dreams

The world is watching China as the Uighur revolt unfolds. We look at media comment on this as well as other critical global developments.

Time for Europe

In spite of all its recent problems, Britain is still ahead of Germany and most of the rest of the EU in one respect: its people get to vote earlier in the elections to the European Parliament. They, like the rest of us, should do so.
