France’s second city will be European capital of culture in 2013. But for the moment, news from Marseille is dominated by feuds among Kalashnikov toting drug dealers who hold sway over entire neighbourhoods. 
The Italian Mafia has succeeded in colonising the Balkans and Eastern Europe, announces Roberto Saviano, the author of the novel Gomorrah. In Romania, it manages prostitution networks, which are also linked to drug trafficking and money laundering. 
In Britain, the number of young people taking drugs has fallen by 30% in the last fifteen years. Is the drop due to declining quality, or tales of celebrity breakdown? 
Mephedrone – otherwise known as miaow-miaow – is increasingly prevalent on the European nightclub scene. The drug, which is legal and easy to obtain, is now considered dangerous after the recent deaths of young users in the United Kingdom and Sweden — which is why several countries are currently planning to ban it. 
After coming under pressure from police, small producers of cannabis have been threatened with extinction. As a result, coffee shops are selling lower quality merchandise sourced from major criminals. 
As of New Year’s Day 2010, Czechs in possession of small quantities of narcotics need no longer fret about trouble with the law. That comes as no surprise in a country in which marijuana is, for many, part of everyday life, remarks Polish journalist Mariusz Szczygiel. 
In most languages, expressions like "Climate change", "Fair trade" and "Infant mortality", among others, have become part of everyday vocabulary. Writing in the Independent, Johann Hari argues that they hide a political agenda that shapes the way we view the world. It’s time to expunge them. 
The 7th edition of the Homeless World Cup will be held in Milan this year, hosting 48 teams from all over the world. The initiative is not about dwelling on their misery, but giving homeless and badly housed kids a shot at a job and a roof over their heads. And it works, says Evenimentul Zilei.
Glastonbury is not only famous for its performing arts festivals. Pilgrimage, spirituality, drugs, nature — since the 1970s, the town on the imaginary Isle of Avalon has welcomed all sorts of visitors in search of spiritual awakening. 
In western Ireland, bloody feuding between rival drug gangs has instilled a climate of fear in the region. To deal with it, the government has drafted emergency legislation. But some judges and lawyers criticise the new laws as unconstitutional.
