Elimination of Syrian chemical-weapons could be done on time, UN official says
Sigrid Kaag, special coordinator for the United Nations chemical-weapons team, has not ruled out meeting the June 30 deadline for removing and destroying Syria's stockpile. Germany says it will help with the effort. Meanwhile, Syrian rebels allegedly attacked two chemical-weapons storage areas looking for supplies, according to the Syrian government.

Public sector needs to engage entrepreneurs, Elizabeth Gore says
Public bodies should work with private-sector entrepreneurs to find novel and practical solutions to societal problems, says Elizabeth Gore, chairwoman of the United Nations Foundation's Global Entrepreneurs Council. "To an entrepreneur, barriers are merely challenges that you climb over, slip under, go around or push through. ... Working with entrepreneurs on solving world problems is a natural fit," Gore says.
