OF THE
TIMES
Today as never before we need to comprehend the course, logic, and path of the process of history. Every day we need to make decisions that will affect future generations. It has become obvious that no single nation, confession, social class or even civilization can solve these problems on its own. We increasingly have to listen to one another: Europe and Asia, Christians and Muslims, White and Black peoples, citizens of modern democratic states and places where traditional society survives. The key is to understand one another correctly, avoid hasty conclusions, and acquire the true spirit of tolerance and respect toward those with different value systems, habits, and norms.

A group of insect-killing sprays known as neonicotinoids that are widely used in UK farming have now been banned in four other European countries because they are thought to be killing bees, according to the UK Soil Association which has written to the UK Environment Secretary of State, Hilary Benn urging him to immediately ban the sprays in the UK.
Italy has joined Germany, Slovenia and France in banning the sprays with the Italian government issuing an immediate suspension of them after it was accepted they are killing bees, the Soil Association said.
"There is worldwide concern at widespread, unexplained and devastating deaths of honey bees over the last two years," the association said in a press release.
Bee keepers have reported potentially catastrophic loss of bees from their hives ranging anywhere from 30-90 percent. Britainโs beekeepers have reported that close to one in three hives have failed to make it through last winter and spring.
Since their introduction by Bayer CropScience in the USA in 2003, the neonicotinoid sprays have been linked to the devastating loss of millions of honey bees in a number of countries.
Germany banned the pesticides after beekeepers in the Baden-Wurttenberg region reported that two thirds of their bees died in May following the application of clothianidin.
In 1995 bee keepers in North Dakota took Bayer to court when a third of their bees were killed by imacloprid. In France, a third of the honey bee population was killed after widespread use of imidacloprid.
