Ukraine: Debaltseve

Pro-Russian separatists in East Ukraine seem poised to take the strategically important town of Debaltseve and this despite the fact that a ceasefire agreed between Russia, Ukraine, Germany and France in Minsk last week was supposed to come into effect at midnight on Saturday.

Time is running out for agreement on a new bailout deal for Greece

Greece / EU

As a deadline approaches for an extension of Greece’s bailout , Greek banks are coming under increasing pressure from European financial institutions and from the Greek public as many Greeks desperately try to get their money out of the country.

ISIS In Libya

Recent videos of Coptic Christians being beheaded on the Mediterranean coast of Libya by ISIS fighters sent shock waves around the world. They also showed just how close to Europe the ISIS threat has come. We find out just how much of a foothold ISIS has in Libya and what threat this poses for neighbouring countries and for Europe.

Skunk marijuana

The debate as to whether to legalise cannabis or not is one that divides governments, scientists and the general public. Now a new study suggests that people who smoke Skunk marijuana, a particularly potent form of the drug, run the risk of developing serious mental health problems.
