Emboldened by last weekend's brazen raid in Venezuela, the Trump administration has resumed its sabre rattling over the Danish-administered territory of Greenland. With US aggression on European soil now a very real possibility, this is a crisis moment for Europe, but according to Francesco Grillo, it could also be the continent's greatest opportunity. It could spur deepened integration, especially in terms of defence, and strengthen Europe's cultural soft power in the face of an increasingly belligerent, unpredictable US.

After making headlines last year, Europe's defence spending hikes are now making a tangible impact on its economies. While a tax reform for self-employed people in Lithuania might seem like a marginal issue, it reflects the continent's changing priorities, as well as the sacrifices to come for other EU member states.

And with the world starting back up after the holidays, streets and parks are filling with thermal-clad joggers settling into a new routine. For all its popularity, running isn't without risks. Trying to do too much, too soon can cause injury, so take some lessons – for pros and amateurs alike – from this article.
