The proceedings of the International Press Institute at its London meeting dominate the material in this quarter's foreign publications. The richness of I. P. I.'s contributions of material in the field grows with each meeting and each issue of its publications. The final stages of the press council debate in the United Kingdom produced more readable controversy, and there is an article by Erwin Canham in which the Boston editor says that American editors feel the work of a press council already has been done in this country. There is an article summarizing censorship and interference trends in South America which teachers will find especially valuable. Items dealing with the newsprint shortage do not appear in the bibliography for the first time since the war. A coronation supplement issued by World's Press News, London, on May 1 brings much late material to the teacher interested in the British press. Newspaper World, a British trade publication indexed in this bibliography for many years, ceased publication without previous notice on March 11, a victim of an adverse financial trend which produced other changes in Britain, including cutting back of the Northcliffe interests in the field of provincial weekly newspapers to one establishment.

This article explores the link between migrants and crime as portrayed in the European press. Examining conservative newspapers from France, Germany, and the United Kingdom from 2007 to 2016, the study situates the press coverage in each individual country within a comparative perspective that contrasts the frequency of the crime narrative to that of other prominent narratives, as well as to that in the other countries. The article also charts the prevalence of this narrative over time, followed by a discussion of which particular aspects of crime are most commonly referenced in each country. The findings suggest that while there has been no steady increase in the coverage of crime and migration, the press securitizes migration by focusing on crime through a shared emphasis on human trafficking and the non-European background of the perpetrators. However, other frames advanced in these newspapers, such as fraud or organized crime, comprise nationally distinctive characteristics.

Abstract Halliburton Company v Chubb Bermuda Insurance Ltd (formerly known as Ace Bermuda Insurance Ltd [2020] UKSC 48 is an important case not only to the UK but also to the international arbitration community for several reasons: first, it examines indispensable duties in international arbitration and for the first time recognises and explicates upon the duty of disclosure at the highest court of the United Kingdom; secondly, it addresses and clarifies key concepts in international arbitration; thirdly, it confirms the objective nature of the test of justifiable doubts which has wider implications for other arbitral forums; fourthly, it illustrates how the duties of impartiality, disclosure, and confidentiality interact with and affect each other and how the key concepts should be applied to this interaction; and finally, it lays down useful guidance for arbitrators. For these reasons, this case deserves close and careful examination. This article aims to explain the significance of the aforesaid and suggests that, in addition to what has been addressed, further judicial explanations are warranted in what other aspects.

As Britain strives to take more pride in its history and promote ‘British’ values in its schools, its role in North American Indigenous history has been left off the curriculum, resulting in an education that lacks any awareness of the societies whose land it colonised. After four months of studying Indigenous history and culture for the first time, this final project sought to find a way to memorialise Indigenous people and their culture in one of the countries that was most responsible for their suffering – a country that is now so able to turn a blind eye to events that didn’t occur within its shores. In doing this, this project considered the implications of memorialising events that occurred an ocean away, and the wilful or naïve ignorance of the British public. After considering various forms of memorials, this project focused on designing a memorial garden, serving partly to increase the visibility of Indigenous people to British citizens, and partly to begin educating on aspects of their culture. This resulted in research on plants, wildlife, and symbols important to Indigenous societies, and careful consideration of all features of the garden, proposing a way for Indigenous stories to be told. The final design emphasises the importance of water, nature, and community, and is proposed as a way to begin eroding the ignorance of the British public to events that should be considered part of their history, and the cultures they affected through them.

This chapter explores some of the more salient contemporary Grimm variants, primarily in the fields of literature and poetry that have appeared in North and South America, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia during the twenty-first century. The chapter endeavors to choose and discuss works that represent, in the author's opinion, significant artistic contributions to our understanding of the Grimms' folk and fairy tales and are furthermore innovations that seek to alter our viewpoints on how these tales relate to current sociopolitical conditions. Alongside a discussion of these contemporary fairy tales, the chapter also touches upon its use of the terms “Grimmness” and “Grimm.”

AbstractDuring my first twelve years in India I studied Hindu art and philosophy, encountering "inculturated" Catholic Christianity for the first time. When I returned to the United Kingdom, I was struck by a manifest separation between the dry, orderly church, and the imaginative world of "New Age" networks such as Dances of Universal Peace. In 1999 I received a major commission to re-design a church in Wales. This opening allowed me to use art as a means to bring some of the insights gained in India into a Western Christian context. After this public work, I made a series of personal pictures that depicted the healing and empowering effect of the new public images (archetypes) on my inner world. I then tried to connect the work in the church to liturgy but found no opening in the UK. In 2003, I returned to India to the Fireflies Intercultural Centre in Bangalore. There I found a "laboratory of the spirit" that provided the right conditions for serious religious experimentation. In 2007, I found a way to express the vision of the artwork in the Welsh church via an embodied liturgy. Using masks representing the Elements, I worked with an Indian Catholic priest to create a cosmic Easter Triduum.

Australia and Britain share many common aspects in their democratic political and media systems, but there are also important differences. Perhaps the single most important media difference is that television has been a much more important element in the UK political communication system than it has been in Australia. The British Broadcasting Corporation is a much bigger and more central institution than the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and commercial TV in Britain has a much stronger public service mandate. The British press has a national structure which can give it a substantive collective role, although its right-wing dominance means it has been a less-than-benign influence on public life. Both countries are facing rapid changes, with partisan political divisions in flux and the digital environment disrupting traditional media models. In this article, we seek to interrogate the commonalities and differences between the media and political systems operating in Australia and the United Kingdom. After tracing some important differences in their institutional structures, the dominant theme of our later analysis is that in both systems, and in both countries, the overarching narrative is one of disruption. And we pose the question – Will the current disruptions widen or narrow these differences?

The focus of this article is an analysis of the Greek junta’s relations with the Wilson and Heath governments in the United Kingdom from 1967 to 1974. Emphasis is placed on diplomatic relations between the two traditional allies. The reactions of the military leaders of the regime in Athens and its representatives in Britain to policies pursued by London towards the establishment, consolidation and eventual demise of the colonels’ dictatorship are presented through the examination (for the first time) of official documents from both the UK and Greece. It is argued that the Greek military regime struggled to cultivate relations with Britain primarily for reasons of domestic and international prestige. Whereas Whitehall pursued a policy of “good working relations” with the junta in order to promote British interests vis-à-vis NATO, Cyprus and trade, the leadership in Athens was solely interested in using British support to gain legitimacy internationally and domestically.

The potato cyst-eelworm probably evolved along with the potato and other Solanum species on the Andes plateau of South America. It is now an important potato pest in the United Kingdom, continental Europe and isolated places elsewhere. Against some field populations, a dominant gene from S. tuberosum sub-species andigena confers resistance on certain new commercial varieties of potatoes, but the expression of this resistance depends on the mechanism of sex determination in the eelworm.

AbstractPharmaceutical prescriptions are quite different in four European countries: Italy, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. In particular, in 1992, among the 50 most sold products by value, only seven active principles are common to these four countries. In Italy, in 1994, there has been a substantial change in pharmaceutical prescriptions, since, for the first time, drugs have been reimbursed by the National Health System (NHS) on the basis of efficacy. As a result of this new policy, the 50 most-sold products by value have changed dramatically in the first five months of 1994. The pharmacologic and economic implications of this change are discussed.
