COLIN McInnes (Letters, January 26) suggests that the goal for developing countries should be to make small-scale subsistence farmers, "or at least their children, entirely redundant", replacing them with mechanised agriculture and releasing them for more productive jobs in nursing and teaching. That's fine as it goes. The difficult part is managing the transition. Even a country like South Africa, with its substantial mineral wealth and technical resources, still has large urban "informal settlements" with high levels of poverty and violence. In a country like Malawi, where some 80% of the population work on the land, and which suffers shortages of foreign exchange, rapid change would be financially difficult and socially dangerous. If the agricultural population were suddenly to becom...

The nation state enjoys universal acceptance as the primary unit and agency of the international system.

Today is the 20th annual World Aids Day. n More than 33 million people in the world are living with HIV. n Last year, there were 2.1 million Aids-related deaths worldwide. n In the UK, more than 73,000 people have HIV. Last year saw the largest ever increase in the number of new HIV diagnoses in Wales - up 16% from 2005. n Here, the Unesco Cymru Wales Committee presents three Welsh perspectives on the challenges posed by HIV/Aids.

LIKE the distant rumbling of a storm on the horizon, the television images of children's' funerals in eastern Turkey have send a shudder across Europe. When a human case of avian flu was mistakenly reported in Belgium yesterday, in someone just returned from Turkey, it seemed as though the virus had almost completed its inexorable march across the globe from Asia. Not yet, it transpires; but it may be only a matter of time. At least 15 people have been diagnosed with the deadly H5N1 strain of avian flu across Turkey and three children in Dogubeyazit have succumbed, two of them confirmed flu cases.
