New: This is the story of how a luxury development in Antakya became an earthquake death trap — and a symbol of the rot in Turkey’s construction system.

ft.com/turkey-earthqu… The development was supposed to become a “a corner of paradise”, helping to turn the outskirts of Antakya into a gleaming metropolis. Yet 12 years on the Rönesans, a hulking iPhone shaped building with 249 flats, has collapsed into a heap of rubble.

ft.com/rebuilding-one… Irpin has become a byword for the $105.5bn in infrastructural damage caused by Putin’s war. As many as 8,651 buildings in Irpin — half the total in the city — have been damaged by fighting.

New: This is how Putin's war upended Ukraine's agricultural industry, threatening hunger and food security across the globe.

Story w/ @JohnReedwrites @EmikoTerazono @alexandraheal @sam_learner @Dan_Clark5 @digitalcampbell @carolinenevitt @ian_bott_artist

ft.com/ukraine-food-s… The story centres around brilliant on the ground reporting from @JohnReedwrites, who spoke to agricultural workers like Mykola Gordiychuk, who had a farm in the path of Russian forces. He told us that “if you don’t plant in time, you lose a year.”

New with @ChrisGiles_: FT analysis shows the UK will be under far less pressure to raise taxes in the coming years to pay for the costs of the country’s ageing population because of falling birth rates, declining life expectancy and rising immigration. 1/4 ft.com/content/700206… The changing demographic trends mean the government will have to find just £13bn in extra taxation to fund public services each year by the end of the decade, or 0.4% of national income, instead of the £69bn implied by previous estimates - a shift felt through the decades. 2/4
