In
the latest issue of the journal Health Policy and Planning, a team of
Taiwanese academics have published the first in-depth research on the
relationship between share prices and mental health. The study makes it
clear that, as well as making you wealthy, the stockmarket can also make
you unhealthy. Or as the researchers put it, stock-price fluctuations
do drive people crazy http://econ.st/1leUG7X

Save the children
The
first 24 hours of a child's life are the most dangerous. Every year one
million children die on their first day of life according to Save the
Children. But they say the majority of these deaths could be prevented
if a trained health worker was present during child birth. 40m women
globally give birth without a midwife present. And 2m of them give birth
entirely alone. Is there enough support for women in childbirth in your
country?

Yanukovych fled the capital, Kiev and protesters who only hours earlier
had been dodging sniper bullets found themselves guarding the
presidential palace http://econ.st/1cEl3iS
