Description

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu isn't listening. Not to the head of the IDF, not to the negotiators urging him to accept a phased, ceasefire deal and certainly not to the desperate parents of hostages. Lazar Berman the Times of Israel's diplomatic editor says Bibi Netanyahu is convinced that Israel in the 'final stage' of the war. And imagine paying rent that doesn't just keep a roof over your head, but gives you a real stake in the place you live and where no one is going to boot you out to chase profits, this is one model of providing housing that's thriving in Switzerland. 

When your time comes, how will you be remembered? Language psychologist David Markowitz has studied tens of millions of obituaries to understand what it is we value when we eulogise our loved ones. His finds show that our feelings towards the dearly departed have changed in the wake of seismic global events like Sept 11 and the COVID-19 pandemic.
