+Medieval Spain's top fake pilgrims
| | | | When the so-called "dream team" of European leaders left Washington earlier this week, they were cautiously optimistic that progress could be made towards peace in Ukraine. But everything hinges on Donald Trump being true to his word by providing security guarantees for Ukraine if it reaches an agreement with Russia. The main idea currently circulating is to give Ukraine "article 5-style" protection guarantees without bringing it into Nato. Within the Nato club, article 5 means all member nations treat an attack on any other member's soil as an attack on their own. Is this feasible? And can Trump be trusted to commit? We asked an expert. Spain suffers wildfires every year, but this summer's have been exceptionally damaging. The areas most vulnerable to fire are those left empty by population movement. According to a group of researchers from the University of Navarra, the key to preventing future devastation is therefore a total rethink of the rural economy to make these areas more resilient. This week we're bringing you historical perspectives on two trends that you might assume are modern phenomena: swimming in the river Seine and lying about completing the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. It turns out, both have been going on a lot longer than you think. And a database of the fundamental rights irregular migrants do and don't have in countries across Europe reveals how patchy the various rules are. Access to healthcare and emergency shelter is by no means a given everywhere. |  | Laura Hood Senior Politics Editor, London | |  Mark Webber, University of Birmingham UKraine's allies are talking about security guarantees which would resemble protections given by the Nato treaty.
