What caught my attention this week:
- Freedom of the press regresses (again) in France (43rd out of 175 countries listed - thank you dear Government), in Italy (49th, thanks to you too, Mr Berlusconi), and bizarrely in Luxembourg dropped from 2nd in 2008 to 21st place in 2009 … Hmm?). Reporters sans frontières
Also:
- 10 million • Number of people imprisoned worldwide, most of them in unacceptable conditions. (United Nations report, October 2009)
- Best quality of life on Earth is in Norway according to a UN report
