But that would be to deny EUROPEAN SECURITY & DEFENCE its place in our world, so… One of the fundamental characteristics of “Security” is, for most modern democracies, “stability”. One of the more stable democratic institutions of the modern world has been, for many years, the European Union, and its attendant sub-domains such as the European Commission, the European Parliament, the European Courts and the European Central Bank. But what have these institutions delivered in the way of stability in recent weeks? Or indeed of leadership? The European Parliament has “lost” the United Kingdom, fallout from BREXIT threatening to infect even France and The Netherlands, not to mention Greece, Spain, Portugal and Ireland. Various “EXITS” aside, the Euro itself remains a fundamental problem: the European Central Bank has failed to deliver a solution that marries southern Europe’s desperate economic needs with potential northern European-funded solutions. The Court of Auditors and the Court of Justice have failed to lead the nations of Europe in the fight against organised crime, or even the application of common sense to The Law. And the European Commission’s “apolo- gies on behalf of Europe” towards Italy go nowhere, at the time of writing, towards help- ing that nation to address its COVID-19 consequences – unless reducing Italy’s economy to that of a vassal state, somewhat like Greece, is part of a Grand European Plan. Emer- gency funding allocated by the EU “gave” Italy (population 60 million, COVID-19 deaths around 30,000) Euros 2.3Bn: and “gave” Hungary (population 10 million, COVID-19 deaths around 300) Euros 5.6Bn. This suggests a staggering level of incompetence. NATO has warned that numerous European countries and their industries will be so economically weakened by Europe’s shut-down response to the coronavirus that their acquisition by definitively hostile actors is a very real possibility – Belt and Road, anyone? But what is NATO? An organisation created to deliver stability through a network of inter- dependent commitments, that delivered peace in Europe for over 50 years – whose time is past? The Alliance is only as strong as its members, but why are there calls in Europe for a European Army, whose purpose can only be to duplicate and thus to weaken NATO? As if that were not enough, NATO’s 29 European political leaders are, with perhaps eight notable exceptions, unable to secure the bare minimum of “promised” funding for the organisation that exists to guarantee their security, and their stability. NATO without the USA is not a feasible option, but NATO is no longer able to respond quickly, or decisively, or forcefully, because precisely those qualities are missing from Europe’s political leaders, and from the institutions they have created that merely insulate them from the real world. Two truisms finally come home to roost: a “European Army” will indeed reflect European society; and society gets the Armed Forces it deserves. Today, these are Bad Things. The malaise extends to OCCAR and EDA. Although classic European “arrangements” have been made to allow the two to complement each other, it should have been possi- ble, in the six years between their respective creation, to build an expanded, streamlined, single organisation that would, efficiently and cost-effectively, execute the mission. In modern Western Europe the problem is simple. Mature societies with no experience of war, and little experience of hardship. With no concept of total loss and absolute defeat. Encouraged, ultimately, to dismiss and tear down the achievements of their predecessors. And incited to – or scared into - political correctness, political moralising and political posturing without the slightest thought for the consequences, or the alternatives. Among civilians these, too, are Bad Things; among politicians, they’re worse.

  • Future Technology and International Cooperation a UK Perspective
    MAY Future Technology and International Cooperation A UK perspective In 2011, NATO’s Integrated Air Defence (NATINAD) and the supporting NATO Integrated Air Defence System (NATINADS) marked 50 years of safeguarding NATO’s skies. In order to successfully reach future milestones NATO must continue (and in many cases improve) its air defence interoperability across the strategic, operational and tactical domains. In order for this to become reality a combination of exploiting synergies and acknowledging that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts1 is required at all levels. Recent improvements and a greater focus on future capability within the UK’s Joint Ground Based Air Defence (Jt GBAD) will enable the Formation to deploy its units and sub-units in order to operate the latest air defence weapon systems, within a multinational environment, against a near-peer adversary or asymmetric threat, and win.

The strongest party which will take its seats in the plenary chambers in Brus- sels (and, as an expensive anachronism, also in Strasbourg), albeit only for a brief period, is the Brexit Party, with 29 seats, whose programme is implicit in their name. Although EU institutions across the entire continent are challenged in terms of their public acceptance, in many countries the election has been fought with a very great deal of emotion, as if the day of reckoning is dawning, on which decisions will be All or Nothing. Some have raised concerns about the prosperous “European Project”, which they see as in dire need of rescue from malevolent sceptics. Others have painted an image of the decline of the West, which would inevitably come about if Brussels were to be allowed to continue on its present course.

In this study, satellite observations from all around the world of PM2.5 concentration were collected on the grid scale with a high resolution of 0.125◦ (about 15km). Population data for 2020 were also collected on the same scale. Statistical data from the World Health Organization (WHO) concerning the diseases caused by air pollution (e.g., stroke) were obtained for each country to determine the change in mortality between the first quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020. Expressed in disability-adjusted life years (DALY), it was found that the largest reductions were observed for China ( 13.9 million DALY), India ( 6.3 million DALY), − − and Nigeria ( 2.3 million DALY). − Keywords: COVID-19; air pollution; DALY; human health 1. Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic triggered an unprecedented change in people’s daily lives all around the world, having an important impact on both the economy and human health [1–5].
