This week’s covers
How we saw the world
We have two covers this week. Our international editions look at what Ukraine needs to stave off defeat; in Britain we report on Labour’s rocky start in government. Both covers are in black and white. One says that Volodymyr Zelensky is full of anguish, the other that Sir Keir Starmer is…er, well, lacking colour.
When Ukraine’s president travelled to America this week, he took a “plan for victory”, containing a fresh call for arms and money. In fact, his country needs something far more ambitious: an urgent change of course.
