• North Korea’s deadliest weapon? Its hackers | John Naughton

  22-10-2017 08:00
  As Sony Pictures and the New York Federal Reserve will attest, the regime has become extremely skilled, and successful, at cyber attacksRule No 1 in international relations: do not assume that your adversary is nuts. Rule No 2: do not underestimate his capacity to inflict serious damage on you. We in the west are currently making both mistakes with regard to North Korea. Our reasons for doing so are, at one level, understandable. In economic terms, the country is a basket case. Accordi

• Nigel Slater’s almond and hazelnut recipes

  22-10-2017 07:00
  Nuts bring a lot to the table. Use them toasted in salads, to bolster a cake or to add texture and flavour to seafoodThe house where I grew up was surrounded on three sides by woods. Not managed and coppiced woodland but a wild tangle of elder, brambles and chestnut.

  22-10-2017 07:00
  Damage to the amygdala, not bad parenting, is to blame for psychopathic children, believes Abigail MarshThe concept of a psychopathic child makes people queasy.

Neither stereotype is totally true. Children, just like adults, are capable of cruelty and violence, and even highly psychopathic people are not cruel or vi
