Read MoreJews have filed a discrimination lawsuit against federal meat inspectors over new guidelines they say threaten the entire production of kosher meats in Canada. Kosher processing has already fallen 89 percent under new Guidelines, petitioners told the Federal Court.

Read MoreASTONISHINGLY, it is almost ten years since I first wrote my first blog for TCW. By that time, I had been friends with and worked with Kathy Gyngell for almost 30 years, 14 of them in trying to hold the BBC in check over its outrageously pro-EU coverage, through News-watch, an organisation we set up jointly in 1999.

A longtime aide to the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was attacked with a hammer outside his home in Lithuania on Tuesday, less than a month after the fierce critic of Vladimir Putin died in prison.
