Mayday?   “If you want to make God laugh,” said Woody Allen, “tell him about your plans.” Theresa May appears to be learning the lesson the hard way.   Just a few weeks ago, it all looked so simple. No Conservative prime minister in modern history has enjoyed such

Machine learning   For more than 2,500 years, the Chinese game of Go has continued to attract new players, making it perhaps the oldest board game in the world with an unbroken history – it is also probably the most complex. Its longevity makes last week’s watershed all

Crossing the line   Actions speak louder than words. President Trump’s sabre-rattling rhetoric over North Korea dominated the build-up to last week’s summit meeting with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping. But it was his decision to launch a surprise missile attack on a Syrian airbase that
