The first step of Design Thinking is “empathy”. Empathy is not the same as sympathy, which is feel- ing sorry for others. Empathy means feeling what someone else feels. In practical terms, to build empa- thy we must learn to be great observers and to ask the right questions with the aim of defining prob- lems and “ideating” finding solutions, testing them, then making changes to better serve the “user”.

Khamenei reveals nuclear demands TEHRAN: Iran’s supreme leader revealed yesterday his country’s demands for a massive long-term increase in its nuclear enrichment capability, laying bare huge gaps between Tehran and world powers negotiating a deal. The comments, published on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s website, represent a dramatic intervention in the talks currently tak- ing place in Vienna between Iran and the P5+1 group of Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States, plus Germany, for a nuclear accord. His remarks relate to the enrichment process of produc- ing fuel from centrifuges for nuclear power stations, which the West and Israel says, in highly extended form, could be used to develop an atomic bomb. Iran currently has around 19,000 centrifuges - of which only 10,000 are work- ing -but says more powerful machines will be needed to develop enough nuclear energy in the future. Khamenei said the required enrichment capability would be 19 times higher than the West currently wants to allow under a comprehensive agreement. Uranium enrichment and cen- trifuge numbers are the most sensitive topic in the negoti- ations, which aim to conclude a deal by July 20.
