Two headlines, one directly above the other, on BBC news online today:

1. Obama “loves and misses teaching”

2. US drones “traumatise Pakistanis”

It seems that Barack Obama wants to return to teaching when his stint as US president is over.

What’s he going to teach them?

[As regular readers will be aware, we had technical problems in Barcelona, which prevented us from posting during our recent trip there. A rift with major political implications has just opened in Catalonia between the autonomous regional authority and Spain’s national government. We shall post on this in due course.]
