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.

SO FLU IS THE NEW COVID?
The establishment seems more atuned to getting people to take a vaccine than looking after themselves with old-school methods. If that's so, why the push on jabs? What's in them - should we ask?

THIS IS SO BAD, IT'S FUNNY!
Authoritarianism isn't usually humorous. But the UK gov't has banned an Arabic word and the police - following orders from the state - give the BBC as the source of legislation that justifies arrests.
