                  A little over a week ago, France got its youngest and first openly gay prime minister. Much like his youthful mentor, Emmanuel Macron, had aimed in 2017 to present an alternative path beyond the right and left, it is hoped the popularity of 34-year-old Gabriel Attal will help shore up a flagging Macron brand, following a year of controversial reforms to the pension and immigration systems.

                  Will this be enough to revive trust in the government? While there has been some animated chatter about Attal’s age and sexuality, many French people are looking past identity politics to see little novelty. Hence his nickname: “Baby Macron.” From the University of Assas, political scientist Arnaud Mercier asks us to pay attention to what the fourth prime minister in six years reveals about the substance of Macronian politics.

                  Since November, attacks by Houthis against Israel-linked merchant ships in the Suez Canal have led to a sharp increase in container prices, showing once again how dependent global trade is on these fragile choke points. Sarah Schiffling and Matthew Tickle brief you on the crisis and take you along some of the lesser-known maritime corridors of our globalised lives.

                  And if you’re among those who associate the Middle Ages with Gothic gloom and cold grey stones, these breath-taking 3D reconstructions of cathedrals might make you think again.

                  Four different prime minister in six years is unusual under France’s Fifth Republic. Managerial mechanics, absence of a majority and hyper-presidency: focus on the appointment of Gabriel Attal.
                 
                   
                  Red Sea crisis: Suez Canal is not the only ‘choke point’ that threatens to disrupt global supply chains 
                  Sarah Schiffling, Hanken School of Economics; Matthew Tickle, University of Liverpool 

                  With the Panama Canal in drought and the Strait of Hormuz also vulnerable to Iran, global trade routes are under severe pressure.

                  The Middle Ages are often portrayed as dark and dirty. New research is revealing that it was, in fact, a period filled with light and colour.

                          Raimundo Seguí López-Peñalver, Universidad Internacional de Valencia 

                          Climate change is causing dengue-carrying mosquitoes to spread. Could the disease become endemic in Europe?

                          b.. We are losing tetrapod species at a faster rate than we are rediscovering them 
                          Thomas Evans, Université Paris-Saclay 

                          There are hundreds of lost tetrapod species across the globe and their number are increasing decade-on-decade. This study aims to find out why some are rediscovered, while others are not.

                          David W. Denning, University of Manchester 

                          Better and more timely diagnoses of fungal diseases could save millions of lives a year.

      PS интересно о средневековой культуре - не столь она, оказывается,  была мрачной.
