Algerian protests, the world’s nearly-dead leaders and knife crime in Britain

WIDESPREAD PROTESTS will continue today against the re-election campaign of Abdelaziz Bouteflika, Algeria’s president, who has rarely been seen since a stroke in 2013. Algerians have had enough of their country’s proxy rulers. We ask if countries may sometimes be run more effectively when their leaders are out of action. And knife crime is on the rise in Britain, but the causes—and the solutions—are a matter of uncomfortable debate. Runtime: 22 min.
