One week Paris, another Istanbul, another Brussels. Terrorist acts seem to demarcate the months. But is this part of a larger cycle of violence? The front page of our latest edition features an analysis penned by Jason Burke, an expert on Islamic extremism, who ponders this possibility. The good news: Islamic State will probably weaken. The bad? Another threat will likely emerge. Burke is thoughtful and informative in considering this new normal.
This piece dovetails nicely with our big read at the back of the edition, on the French jails seeking to prevent the radicalisation of its prisoners. It’s a bit of joined-up thinking, something we do so well at the Weekly.
Though much of the Christian world slowed for Easter festivities, and Britain was on an extended holiday break, there was no shortage of content for the newspaper.
From Pakistan, we report on a bombing in Lahore, said to target Christians. In the Middle East, we check up on the ground war in Syria, where government forces have retaken Palmyra from Islamic State fighters. In Yemen, meanwhile, a year into war there, the fabric of society has been shredded in the Arab world’s poorest country and prospects for peace are faltering.
While there is conflict in this edition, there is also resolution. Radovan Karadzic finally faced his moment of justice, convicted by an international criminal tribunal of genocide in Bosnia and sentenced to 40 years in prison.
In Canada, meanwhile, a leading radio star was cleared of sex charges in one of that country’s most high-profile trials in recent memory. We look at the charges, the case for the Crown, and why the judge found reasonable doubt.
In the UK, meanwhile, some optimism emerges in the valleys of Wales as a new college keeps more in education and some industry begins to take root. And we take in a medieval tiled floor, one of the most spectacular and well-preserved in Europe, which has gone on display in Somerset. It’s nice to get outside of London on these pages!

Comment considers how tech firms now run the west, frets that scapegoating of the poor has become a global trend, and queries the best strategy for dealing with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un. On the letters page, you reflect on US-Cuba detente, the battle of the generations, and the ownership of art. We welcome your letters for publication, which you can send along by clicking here.
In the more feature-focused back of the book, we look at a cycling revival in Taiwan, delve into research suggesting that intelligent people need less socialising, review books on atheism, poverty and pretentiousness, and spend some time with Nature watch in Britain’s Norfolk.
Culture has an especially strong offering this week, as partner newspaper Le Monde explores the wonderful world of wallpaper. From the floral to the geometric, wall coverings have evolved into fine art. If waiting for the newspaper is too much to endure, you can find this piece online here.
We’ve made some minor adjustments this week to some of the back pages. Unfortunately, Weekly can no longer produce the much-loved Sport Roundup, with a nod of thanks to deputy editor Graham Snowdon, who has written it for several years. So we’ve rejigged our puzzles, popping the Maslanka questions onto page 47, in the Roundup’s place. Accompanying Shortcuts, we’re giving you Observer writer Lucy Siegle’s column on Ethical Living. This week, she’s riffing on the wonder of trees. Green, leafy, lovely. What’s not to like? |
