Each year in Germany, nearly 16,000 young people under 40 get cancer. Thanks to new treatments, most of these patients can be cured. But many of them lose their jobs, their homes, and their savings. Having not yet contributed enough to the social welfare system to be able to access support, they are left out and some even go into debt.

Some six million people have already fled Ukraine. Among them, 730,000 Ukrainian refugees passed through humanitarian corridors that take them deep into enemy territory. Now they are huddled in isolated camps in the middle of the Russian countryside and many want to leave the country as quickly as possible.

Robin has been prepping for years. This father-of-two from Stockholm always has enough supplies in his apartment for a few weeks. His wife is also a converted prepper. They often go to the woods to spend a few days in the wilderness to teach their children vital survival skills that they might need in a national emergency. Sweden has long lived in fear of a Russian invasion. With the war in Ukraine, the government is sufficiently worried that it's asked Swedes to learn to be self-sufficient.

In Ireland, cheap peat is still used for heating. Although the country has already stopped industrial peat extraction to protect the climate, locals are allowed to dig it out for their own use. It's a cheap, plentiful fuel in the middle of an energy crisis: letting go won't be an easy task. But peat is a climate killer.

One hundred years ago, on February 2nd 1922, James Joyce’s Ulysses was published by Sylvia Beach in a small bookshop in Paris. The book, which consumed 7 years of Joyce’s life, years in which his family’s circumstances were very difficult, would have a profound and unprecedented impact on the literature and culture of the century to follow. 

Though Ulysses was banned initially in the US and UK, Joyce’s epic was soon celebrated as a masterpiece of modernism.

He is convinced that the vegan movement cannot progress with moral arguments alone. Many people who reduce their consumption have more influence than a few hardliners.
