Assad's Syria targets Israel as it threatens reprisals for air strike
The Independent, 01/02/2013, p.29, Alistair Dawber; loveday Morris
Analysts fear the conflict could now spread into Lebanon and Israel. Fawaz Gerges, a professor of Middle East politics and international relations at the LSE, said: "Assad will certainly try to milk the attack – it allows him to present himself as a defender of the nation . [But] Assad is in terrible trouble and in many ways he can't afford not to retaliate."

Northern lights - The Nordic countries are reinventing their model of capitalism, says Adrian Wooldridge
The Economist, 02/02/2013, Unattributed
The Nordics also have a strong record of drawing on the talents of their entire populations, with the possible exception of their immigrants. They have the world’s highest rates of social mobility: in a comparison of social mobility in eight advanced countries by Jo Blanden, Paul Gregg and Stephen Machin, of the London School of Economics, they occupied the first four places. America and Britain came last.

Witamy* to Hillingdon *that's 'welcome' in Polish
Evening Standard, 31/01/2013, p.20, Susannah Butter
While all these languages can present challenges, they offer wonderful opportunities, says Dr Peter Skrandies, of the linguistics department at the London School of Economics. “There is great linguistic expertise in London. While we do need more interpreters there’s nothing to back up arguments that the quality of English is in decline. Language is an asset. India, for example is a big market, so speaking Hindi or Urdu is useful for the economy. I hope there will be more language learning. It’s easier to pick up languages [when you’re] young, but if you have motivation it’s possible any time.”
