The prime minister has refused to go head-to-head with Ed Miliband – and the multi-party debate we are getting will be a 90-minute cry for help on behalf of the democratic system

Last week, Germany chose its entry for this year’s Eurovision: Heart of Stone, performed by Andreas Kümmert, former winner of the German version of The Voice (which is known as The Voice of Germany in its native country, rather than Die Stimme von Deutschland. Presumably the producers didn’t want to put viewers off by making it sound too German).

After wailing his guts out and winning the public vote, Kümmert abruptly announced, on live TV, that he didn’t actually want to “do” Eurovision after all, and awarded his “prize” to the runner-up instead. A chorus of boos broke out. German boos. Buhen.

What sort of person can’t decide who to vote for, but can rate how much they like whatever they’re hearing out of five, and wants to sit there tapping a button accordingly?

As the general election scuttles closer, the campaign grows more confusing by the moment, so it’s good that last week’s seven-way leaders’ debate brought some much-needed mayhem to the situation. Not so long ago we were bemoaning the lack of choice in a two-party system. Now we’ve got option paralysis.

It had its moments. Nigel Farage complained about foreigners with HIV who enter Britain and immediately start wolfing down expensive medicine: greedy as well as sick. You’d think Farage might welcome immigrants with grave illnesses on the basis that they’re less likely to hang around as long, but apparently not. Say what you like about him – say it, write it down, daub it in 3ft-high cherry-red letters up the side of a prominent overpass on his regular commute if you must – but it’s undeniably refreshing to see a politician determined to speak his mind, indifferent to the absurd constraints of spin or basic human empathy. Never mind HIV sufferers – how much is Britain spending on refugees with cancer? Maybe he could put that statistic on a sandwich board and patrol the country in it, perhaps while ringing a bell and loudly commanding passersby to picture a nation under his command.

With the wave of coronavirus infections washing over Europe, countries have turned inward to protect themselves. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has struggled to define the EU's role in the crisis as border checks have been reintroduced across the Continent.

Faced with a growing economic crisis, many European Union member states are clamoring for the introduction of so-called corona bonds. Just like it was in the euro crisis, though, Germany is opposed. In the end, Berlin may not have a choice. By DER SPIEGEL Staff

On Thursday, European leaders will discuss how to navigate the block through the economic crisis triggered by the novel coronavirus. In a DER SPIEGEL interview, European Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni talks about what is at stake and the need to find at least 1 trillion euros.

How should the design of incentives vary with agent time preferences? We develop two predictions. First, “bundling” the payment function over time – specifically by making the payment for future effort increase in current effort – is more effective if individuals are impatient over effort. Second, increasing the frequency of payment is more effective if individuals are impatient over payment. We test the efficacy of time-bundling and payment frequency, and their interactions with impatience, using a randomized evaluation of an incentive program for exercise among diabetics in India. Consistent with our theoretical predictions, bundling payments over time meaningfully increases effort among the impatient relative to the patient. In contrast, increasing payment frequency has limited efficacy, suggesting limited impatience over payments. On average, incentives increase daily steps by 1,266 (13 minutes of brisk walking) and improve health.

Veteran guard Reggie Jackson intends to sign with the Clippers once he clears waivers Thursday, a person with knowledge of Jackson's plans confirmed.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's outstanding skills are one reason why the Milwaukee Bucks are fully capable of beating the Lakers or Clippers for the NBA title.

The Clippers are in third place in the West despite using 27 starting lineups and rarely having a healthy squad, so there's hope things improve soon.

In a move the Clippers hope will reinforce an oft-injured roster, the team signed Reggie Jackson shortly after the veteran guard cleared waivers Thursday.

Veteran guard Reggie Jackson always wanted to play alongside Paul George. He gets his chance now with a Clippers team aiming for an NBA title.

The Clippers couldn't overcome their own sloppiness and a season-best performance from Kings guard Kent Bazemore in a 112-103 loss Saturday.

As the Clippers struggle to find continuity, Reggie Jackson and Marcus Morris hope their arrivals don't throw off the team's rhythm.

The Clippers routed Denver 132-103 on Friday in a meeting of Western Conference powers by slowing down Nuggets one-of-a-kind center Nikola Jokic.

Kawhi Leonard scored 30 points, Paul George added 24 as the Clippers overcome defensive issues in a 136-130 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Reggie Jackson doesn't care if he's perceived as a villain by some around the NBA. His focus is on helping the Clippers win games.

The Lakers fought back from a late deficit to give themselves a chance but it wasn't enough as a last-second three-pointer by Anthony Davis didn't fall and the Nets walked away with the win.
