One good thing:
A new human rights database is just about to be launched. The new system, called Hurisearch, combines data from many human rights organisations, including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and Christian Solidarity Worldwide. By pooling information the groups hope to do a better job of co-ordinating work to highlight human rights abuse and campaigns to free prisoners of conscience.

One bad thing:
It’s official: The richest 2% of adults in the world own more than half of all household wealth, according to a new study by a United Nations research institute. The new study incorporates information about assets, not just income. The researchers say it is the most accurate study of it’s kind to-date.

One won!
Tuesday was not a good day for England, methinks.
