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.

WHAT'S GOING ON IN BIOLABS?

There seems to be something very sinister about what's going on in UK justice - directed as it is by the UK gov't. Should the justice system be totally out the hands of gov't - in the hands of the People and juries?

OP-6251A



"DEFENCE" - FOLLOW THE MONEY?
Many former British military officers now work in the "defence" industry. Their "expertise" is often quoted in the mainstream media - with no mention they gain personally from increased military spending.

WILL AI MAKE CHILDREN STUPID?
Ai is increasingly used in education - without evidence that it boosts learning or is safe. Ai may even prevent learning. Is a massive experiment being carried out on children and teenagers? It looks that way!
