NEWS GLOBAL




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.
