A humanitarian crisis of historic proportions has been growing in Europe, as hundreds of thousands of refugees and economic migrants from the Middle East, Africa and parts of Asia have crossed the continent's borders this year alone. The scale of the influx is now well-documented. According to the European Union's border agency, some 340,000 migrants crossed its […]

The forces he commanded have been implicated in ethnic massacres, rapes, torture, and in recruiting hundreds of children, some as young as seven, to fight on the front lines. He has been wanted […]

Europe had a dream of a land without borders. Now that dream may be turning to dust.

You can always rely on European bureaucrats to give something a dull and dry name. The Schengen agreement, as the plan to do away with Europe's shared border controls later became known, was named after the small town (population: 4,313) in Luxembourg near where a handful of European nations met on a riverboat in 1985.

If Donald Trump was a mythic Anglo-Saxon hero

An ocean of ink has already been spilled on Donald Trump and his meteoric rise in American politics, so much so that you would be forgiven for thinking there was nothing left to be said about the outspoken, controversial billionaire who is the front-runner in the race to be the Republican presidential nominee.
