    For a ghost of a chance, use your talisman

    News, Kong Rithdee, Published on 01/10/2016

Also buoying sentiment was Opec's surprise agreement to cut oil output, but worries about the health of Deutsche Bank, which faces huge US fines for dodgy business practices, capped gains. The Opec decision helped the energy-heavy Thai stock market recoup some earlier losses.

    On liberty, conspiracies and vaccination

    Oped, Hugo Drochon, Published on 08/07/2021

    » Although countries like Israel, the United Kingdom, and the United States have done particularly well getting Covid-19 vaccines into arms as fast as possible, vaccine hesitancy remains a serious hurdle. In the US, it has already derailed President Joe Biden's goal of administering at least one vaccine dose to 70% of the US population by July 4.

    Leaks aren't always good for politics or journalism

    News, Published on 19/10/2016

Both have always benefited from leaks of some kind, from the officially authorised to the criminally filched. But today's ability to download and disseminate vast banks of information constitutes a new chapter in journalistic and political practice. Wikileaks has put US diplomatic cables in the public domain, followed by the much riskier leaking of sensitive files from the National Security Agency and that followed by the leaking of the Panama Papers, which showed how the rich secretly contrive to get richer.
