NEWS and VIEWS




THIS WEEK'S STORIES
From a myriad of news and feature articles published throughout the world each week, a selection is made to republish on Connect. From those selected, our local editorial team choose specific themes to share.
Our intention is to make available thought provoking articles on major topics of interest in today's world. Whilst we have no answers, we understand enough to know, we all need to ask searching questions.
We hope you find the selection valuably informative.

THE CAN BILL - WHAT'S NEXT?
The gov't listened to the Climate and Nature Bill - but said no to having it pass into legislation. One of the reasons was - politicians would have had to take instructions from people who were unelected.
BP-5055H





WHY CAN BILL WAS ADJOURNED

THE CAN BILL IS ADJOURNED
The Climate and Nature Bill has been voted on in the UK's parliament in an unusually well-attended debate. The bill wasn't voted for or against - instead, the vote - by 120 to 7 - was to adjourn it until July.
PQ-5055F





TRUMP IS AFTER GREENLAND?
This opinion piece suggests, Donald Trump's stated intention to annex Greenland and Canada is part of his war against global socialism - making a case for why he's against it. Part 1: why Greenland's important.
