Initially mocked by critics, Rousseau’s artistic genius was eventually acknowledged and he influenced the Parisian avant-garde, including Pablo Picasso. (£) www.thetimes.com/world/europe...

Her research — and ever more evidence like it is emerging — prompts difficult questions. Should courts make allowances when criminals have genes associated with a propensity to be violent? Should prospective parents seek to screen out such DNA? (£) www.thetimes.com/culture/book...

The schism is a permanent and “hostile” split in a once-unified group, leading to escalating violence between the two new factions of once close-knit individuals, and raids that have involved multiple killings, including of infant chimps. (£) www.thetimes.com/uk/science/a...

Putin has strengthened NATO, while Trump has weakened it

USAID’s funding was only about 0.5% of our total budget, yet its impact has been felt around the world. It provides health and education to some of the most impoverished people on the planet, saving millions of lives every year.

Extraordinary to see the UK PM putting Trump and Putin together like this, and referring to 'Trump' not 'President Trump'. A lot has changed in the last few weeks - this would have been unimaginable six months ago - and I don't see how it changes back. www.politico.eu/article/star...
