From last Friday, Britain's minimum wage rose. It's the first of steady increases that will to take it to £9 (Dh46.7) per hour by 2020. At that point, it will be, according to Nick Boles, the minister of state for skills, "one of the biggest increases in the legal minimum wage that any government has done in the western world in living memory".

A few things have happened recently that are being described as a clear sign that the politics of anger is furiously at work. In America, the rise to prominence of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders at either ends of the political spectrum.

By Pushing Muslims to the Margins, Cruz and Trump Would Make the US Like Europe
thewire.in
—
Consider what the two Republican presidential candidates, Ted Cruz and Donald Trump, are proposing in the aftermath of the Brussels attacks. Cruz wants to "patrol and secure" Muslim neighbourhoods in America because that's what's required in "a neighbourhood where there is gang activity". Which gangs and which neighbourhoods could he possibly mean?

Europe’s heart is in limbo.

Tuesday's multiple terrorist attacks on Brussels, administrative capital of the European Union, will temporarily draw attention away from the refugee crisis, that other supposedly existential threat the EU has been working overtime to neutralise. Endlessly haemorrhaging out of Syria's conflict zones, nearly a million refugees arrived on Europe's shores via Turkey last year, causing political ructions and polarisation among good neighbours.

Tunisia continues to fight against ISIL infiltration
thenational.ae

How much closer is Tunisia to the destiny apparently mapped out for it by ISIL now that the extremist group is heavily under attack in Iraq and Syria? Every so often, there are rumours that ISIL is stealthily but surely moving to base itself in North Africa and establish a so-called "Islamic State" there.

Can India’s gold tax help modernise the economy?

When actress Kate Winslet picked three glittering pieces of diamond jewellery made in India to wear to last month's Oscars, the Indian press exulted that it marked a big moment for the country's jewellery-making skills and craftsmanship. It had literally arrived on the red carpet, said the newspapers.

America lurches towards a dark form of nationalism
thenational.ae
—
A bit like the 2008 US presidential election, this one is becoming a meta-exercise, one in which the world beyond America feels heavily and personally invested. In 2008, it was about hope. The world was entranced by the idea that a mixed-race man named Barack Hussein Obama could become America's 44th president after 200 years of white men called Washington, Jefferson, Clinton and Bush.

By tomorrow, Apple, one of America's most valuable brands, will have to explain why it seems unable to distinguish between illegal US government mass surveillance and legitimate law-enforcement activities. Chances are that its arguments will not be startlingly new.
