The EU faces a critical choice: will it remain in the shadow of an increasingly unreliable US ally, or will it forge its own path in a multilateral world where co-operation with China is essential, asks MARC VANDEPITTE as leaders meet for the EU-China Summit

For Egypt trade trumps the Israeli genocide of the Palestinians, but how long can the country’s ‘misleaders’ – and others in the region – continue their indifference against the popular will of their own people, asks ROGER McKENZIE
AMID the deluge of royal angst unleashed by Prince Harry in his autobiography, Spare, his treatment of his time on deployment to Afghanistan flying Apache helicopters is easily the most salient in that it provides an insight into the diseased and murderous mind of those programmed to kill on command in the name of Western “civilisation.”
In extracts from the book published by the BBC, after revealing that he killed 25 people during his two tours of the country, Harry goes on to reveal: “It wasn’t a statistic that filled me with pride but nor did it leave me ashamed.”
Continuing, he offers: “When I found myself plunged in the heat and confusion of combat I didn’t think of those 25 as people. They were chess pieces removed from the board. Bad people eliminated before they could kill good people.”
