US presidential election: calm down with the Harris-Pence debate
It wasn’t difficult, but the debate between the two vice presidential candidates has been more structured and respectful than that between the two White House candidates a week ago. It was at least as expected: many believe that Kamala Harris and Mike Pence defend their party message better than Joe Biden and Donald Trump.

Two women finalists to take charge of the WTO
Barring a very last-minute change, two women – Nigerian Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Korean Yoo Myung-hee – remain, according to AFP, the only ones in the race for the post of head of the Organization world trade. The WTO, in crisis not least because of repeated assaults by the Trump administration , has so far always been led by men.
