Any tourist to this spot presumably stands in awe under the character, having crossed the full delineation of Chinese territory, and then gazes out over the Heilongjiang to Russia on the other side. North: them. Here: us. Cue national pride.

Our one star has departed. We're wholly dark. The clouds are shedding pretension to friendliness, flake by flake. Which of us guides the other across this glassine surface that blanks every letter, deadening words. Who is that figure, globe-headed, dirndl-skirted, vacant hand-holder. The street-sign makes Mother, her little familiar. When you were born the ground had taken more than a dusting. We were locked in, but not forever. Now you are thirteen, age of reversible prime ...

You moved lightly with your dancer's step and your gentle, gracious hands that knew Mozart and Bach, soil under your nails, old-fashioned hymns, and a child's rounded head. Your heart was woven with the words of Shakespeare and Donne and Eliot, words you gave away to so many hungry to hear.

The media response to the racial abuse Ed Husic suffered after the Qur'an affair in Parliament was as troubling as the abuse itself. Labor MP Stephen Jones called Husic an immigration success story.

I have always felt safe in Athens, but recently, while travelling in a crowded train, I was jostled by several large young men.

Winter in the Russian industrial city of Yaroslavl has been hard since
the Global Financial Crisis. The 'contract' between Russia's elite and ordinary
Russians, whereby the latter sacrifice their civil and political rights

The Winter Olympics make for beautiful television — skiers hurtling down
the slopes, snowboarders doing somersaults in the air, skaters dancing
on the ice. Yet they occupy an unusual place in our imagination. They feel more like recreation than competitive sport.
