The furniture giant, which has been a roaring success in Russia, has always made a very public stand against corruption in the country. But lately things have been going wrong. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Brigitte Bardot is not a frequent lobbyist in the Israeli parliament, so her three consecutive letters to Knesset members, urging them to approve an all-out ban on the fur trade in Israel, seem to have left their mark. "All the world's eyes are turned towards you", wrote the French animal rights activist and former actress, adding flatteringly: "I am personally counting on your help".]]></description>

When I wrote to a food expert recently to express my dismay that my favourite Parisian restaurant might not get a star this year, his answer was telling.

		<description><![CDATA[The infamous minaret ban in Switzerland, the result of a nationwide vote last autumn, continues to cause international confusion and indignation. Recently, Newsweek declared "The death of Switzerland". The US magazine described growing xenophobia in the country as gradually "breaking down this once unique model nation". The ban has angered some people such as the Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi so much that, in February, he declared holy war on the country. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is currently only known for its juicy watermelons, energy companies and martial arts heritage. So it should come as little surprise that the name “Ibaraki” currently provokes blank faces and raised eyebrows among 99.9 per cent of the population outside Japan. This, however, may soon change. Ibaraki, a prefecture a smudge northeast of Tokyo, is about to launch an ambitious bid to make its name considerably better known – by opening an airport.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We know that no kind of virtual communication beats a face-to-face meeting and that the most effective organisational tool is called “having lunch”. But this kind of working is becoming rarer. In Germany 20 per cent of all companies already offer their staff the option to “telecommute” and studies see this number rising to 80 per cent by 2020. In a recent poll three-quarters of German employees said they would like to work from home for part of the week. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Long live the art fair! If anyone doubted its resilience, one need only look at what happened in New York City this week. Besides the blockbuster Armory Show, now in its 12th year, there was also Dutch Art Now, Korean Art Show, Red Dot, PooL, Pulse, Fountain, Independent, Volta, Verge, Art Dealers Association of America’s Art Show and Scope. In a city already loaded to the gills with museums and galleries, the week felt like a Vegas-style, all-you-can-eat art buffet. And while it was admittedly dizzying, as well as physically gruelling, to trek across this city and take it all in, no one was complaining.
