Now, let us talk peace
In dangerous and insecure times, having the bravery to build a more peaceful world is a task for us all, says JEREMY CORBYN

When a war is going on, it is absolutely the time to talk about peace. How else can we prevent even further loss of life or yet more millions forced into refuge somewhere else in the world?

It is welcome that at last the UN has taken an initiative with the welcome request by secretary-general Antonio Guterrez for face-to-face meetings with President Vladimir Putin and President Volodymyr Zelensky.
