The effects of a combination of crises -- the so-called "fiscal cliff" in the U.S., the ongoing European debt crisis and a marked economic slowdown in China -- could spark a new global recession, the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs said Tuesday.

The Economist/Babbage blog (12/14)      Evaluating resistant malaria risk in Southeast Asia The trade in counterfeit malaria drugs is potentially fatal, and people with malaria who take the fake medicine can die within days. Still, the risk does not end with malaria sufferers: Resistance is growing among the parasites because of insufficient doses of the necessary drugs, especially in the countries of Southeast Asia -- from which scientists fear such resistance could spread.

As the document was poised for passage in the run-up to a second round of voting, "seldom has any nation confronted so momentous a question at a time of such polarization," writes The Economist. "In outline the new draft differs little from the constitution that prevailed until the fall of Hosni Mubarak's regime," the publication reported, adding that it would give the Muslim Brotherhood power similar to the power Mubarak had.
