[https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jul/31/gordon-brown-tom-watson-news-international-william-lewis-rupert-murdoch by Gordon Brown 31/7/24 The Guardian]
Blazoned across the top of every edition of the Washington Post is the statement “Democracy dies in darkness”. But what if the publisher himself is a master of the dark arts? I experienced, at first-hand, the journalistic techniques that the Washington Post’s publisher and chief executive, Sir William Lewis, and his colleagues used when working for the Murdoch media group and the Daily Telegraph in the UK

In recent years, some of these defectors, who now live in South Korea, have sought to undermine the grip of the Kim regime on North Korean citizens. They transfer media, including American movies and TV shows, to USB drives and smuggle them to North Korea, where they are passed around to citizens who have no access to the internet or any information outside the country.

=====New documentary details how governments use spyware to monitor citizens’ phones=====
[https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/new-documentary-details-how-governments-use-spyware-to-monitor-citizens-phones by John Yang 8/12/24 PBS NEWS]
This past week, the White House detailed the scope of a massive Chinese hacking campaign that reaped information from American cell phone networks. But an HBO original documentary, “Surveilled,” says some governments use commercial spyware to monitor their own citizens. To learn more, John Yang speaks with Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Ronan Farrow, who produced the documentary.

=====Eritrea country profile=====
[https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-13349078 by BBC NEWS 18/4/23]
Tensions remained high across the closed and heavily-fortified border until 2018, when Ethiopia launched a surprise diplomatic initiative that formally ended the state of war between the two countries.
=====Algeria forms new government with energy and finance ministers unchanged=====
[https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/algeria-forms-new-govt-energy-finance-ministers-unchanged-presidency-2021-07-07/ by Reuters 7/7/21]

[https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-57532368 by BBC Monitoring and BBC Reality Check 23/6/21 BBC]

[https://www.weforum.org/stories/2015/11/what-is-open-government-and-how-will-it-help-us-achieve-the-sdgs/ by Stephen Davenport 6/11/15 WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM]
The open government agenda is most closely linked to the ambitious Goal 16 on Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, which among other targets includes the objective of ensuring “responsive, inclusive, participatory and representative decision-making at all levels.” Though progress in this area is maddeningly difficult to quantify, evidence increasingly shows that participation, the next transparency frontier, matters to development outcomes. Making the target explicit, it is hoped, will galvanize efforts in the right direction.
=====Conservatives aim to restructure U.S. government and replace it with Trump’s vision=====
[https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/conservatives-aim-to-restructure-u-s-government-and-replace-it-with-trumps-vision by Lisa Mascaro 29/8/23 PBS NEWS]
WASHINGTON (AP) — With more than a year to go before the 2024 election, a constellation of conservative organizations is preparing for a possible second White House term for Donald Trump, recruiting thousands of Americans to come to Washington on a mission to dismantle the federal government and replace it with a vision closer to his own.
=====Israel’s new right-wing government is even more extreme than protests would have you think=====
[https://www.vox.com/world/2023/1/20/23561464/israel-new-right-wing-government-extreme-protests-netanyahu-biden-ben-gvir by Jonathan Guyer 20/1/23 Vox]

This is FRESH AIR. I'm Terry Gross. It's difficult to get jazzed about smartphones and social networks when they might be ruining the world.
=====Global Gender Gap Report 2023=====
[https://www.weforum.org/publications/global-gender-gap-report-2023/in-full/gender-gaps-in-the-workforce/ by WORLD FORUM ORGANIZATION]
This chapter sheds light on global workforce, leadership and skilling patterns across industries and across time to give a more nuanced picture of the current anatomy of gender gaps in labour markets and senior leadership to equip decision-makers with the data to tackle gender gaps in the most targeted and impactful way possible.
=====Which countries have the most – and least – efficient governments?=====
[https://www.weforum.org/stories/2015/07/efficient-government/ by Paul Muggeridge 13/7/15 WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM]
The efficiency of government has a significant bearing on a country’s competitiveness and economic growth. Excessive bureaucracy and regulation, a lack of transparency, and inadequate legal frameworks all impose additional costs on business and impede expansion.
=====Cryptocurrency regulations are changing across the globe. Here's what you need to know=====
[https://www.weforum.org/stories/2024/05/global-cryptocurrency-regulations-changing/ by Ian Shine 2/5/24 WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM]

[https://www.weforum.org/stories/2015/07/3-things-governments-need-to-do-to-solve-migration-crises/ by William Lacy Swing 22/7/15 WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM]
Nearly 2,000 people have died in the Mediterranean since the beginning of 2015. This is double the number of deaths for the same period last year. It clearly needs to stop. Europe is doing an incredible job rescuing migrants who board unworthy vessels to cross the sea. This year alone, 150,000 migrants coming from Syria, Eritrea, Afghanistan, Somalia, Nigeria and from other sub-Saharan countries have reached the coasts of Greece, Italy, Malta and Spain.
=====These are the biggest global risks we face in 2024 and beyond=====
[https://www.weforum.org/stories/2024/01/global-risks-report-2024/ by Ellissa Cavaciuti-Wishart 10/1/24 WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM]
The cascading shocks that have beset the world in recent years are proving intractable. War and conflict, polarized politics, a continuing cost-of-living crisis and the ever-increasing impacts of a changing climate are destabilizing the global order.

=====Why networked governments are key to better societies=====
[https://www.weforum.org/stories/2017/02/network-government-society-collaboration/ by Jane E. Fountain 13/2/17 WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM]
The government of the future operates seamlessly across boundaries to address complex challenges in a hyperconnected world. Increasingly, business and government executives manage an enterprise that works across organizations to tackle “wicked” problems, those that demand expertise and solutions brought together from disparate sources. Examples of such problems include economic development, intelligence sharing, disaster preparedness and recovery, and a range of social, environmental and financial issues.
=====During Covid, most governments just gave people money=====
[https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/23277830/covid-cash-transfers-money-global-inequality by  Siobhan McDonough 27/7/22 Vox]
The largest cash transfer scale-up ever mirrors global inequalities.
=====What are central bank digital currencies and what could they mean for the average person?=====
[https://www.weforum.org/stories/2023/10/what-are-central-bank-digital-currencies-advantages-risks/ by Sandra Waliczek 6/10/23 WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM]
Money has taken many forms over the centuries. In fact, it’s not even always been money at all. It gradually evolved from bartered commodities to pieces of metal, before becoming paper money and eventually debit and credit cards. The next step in this evolution could be central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
=====What kind of coalition government could Germany have after the election?=====
[https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/what-are-most-likely-coalitions-after-german-election-2025-02-12/ by Riham Alkousaa 23/25 Reuters]
The composition of the coalition will depend on whether the pro-business Free Democrats (FDP) and leftist Sahra Wagenknecht Bewegung (BSW) hovering around the 5% threshold needed to take seats, enter the parliament.
=====3 global issues governments can solve at a local level=====
[https://www.weforum.org/stories/2021/09/3-global-issues-governments-solve-local-level/ by Vincent Chin 14/9/21 WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM]
Despite these barriers governments can’t avoid these large problems. Instead, they can tackle even the thorniest of issues by thinking big, acting fast, but starting small. In practice, this means viewing a global concern through a local lens; addressing it with a pragmatic but innovative solution, and as positive results emerge, scaling it so its reach broadens among wider regions and groups of people.

  Two schools of thought tend to dominate today’s economic debates. According to free-market economists, governments should cut taxes, reduce regulations, reform labor laws, and then get out of the way to let consumers consume and producers create jobs. According to Keynesian economics, governments should boost total demand through quantitative easing and fiscal stimulus. Yet neither approach is delivering good results. We need a new Sustainable Development Economics, with governments promoting new types of investments.

In 1933, faced with a housing shortage, the federal government began a program explicitly designed to increase — and segregate — America's housing stock. Author Richard Rothstein says the housing programs begun under the New Deal were tantamount to a "state-sponsored system of segregation."

  We only have to look at the human rights challenges of 2023 to tell us what we need to do differently in 2024. It was a formidable year not only for human rights suppression and wartime atrocities but also for selective government outrage and transactional diplomacy that carried profound costs for the rights of those not in on the deal. Yet amid the gloom, we saw signs of hope showing the possibility of a different path.
