Greece hopeful of imminent EU debt deal despite German warning
Germany’s finance minister Wolfgang Schäuble tells Athens it can cut its £280bn debt only by leaving the single currency The Greek government has expressed hope of an imminent deal with its EU creditors, despite a warning from the German finance minister, Wolfgang Schäuble, that the country could cut its debts only by leaving the single currency. Athens is in a familiar stand-off with the German finance ministry as it seeks easier repayment terms on its €330bn (£280bn) debt pile, which the International Monetary Fund has described as unsustainable and explosive.

I work with child refugees in Calais. Theresa May’s deception is a cruel act
The Dubs children abandoned by Britain now sleep under bushes, at the mercy of people smugglers and riot police. This is how we care for their best interests Call it shameful, call it cruel. The UK now has an effective refugee ban of its very own, targeting the most vulnerable of the vulnerable: unaccompanied children. In the House of Lords yesterday, the minister for immigration, Robert Goodwill, announced the abandonment of the Dubs amendment to the Immigration Act. This was passed last May, after being designed by the peer and refugee Alf Dubs, who fled Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia as a child, one of thousands rescued in the Kindertransport effort. Lord Dubs and his supporters had suggested the UK could potentially help 3,000 of the most vulnerable children in Europe - there are estimated to be 90,000 unaccompanied migrant children across the continent as a whole, including thousands who wait in the camps of Greece and Italy, described by Unicef as “alone and extremely vulnerable”. In itself, 3,000 was a modest and achievable number. But now, it emerges, we will be taking only 350 – including 200 who have already come over from the refugee camp in Calais – and we will then slam shut the door. Continue reading...

The world's most decadent apocalyptic community will have an insane golf course
[Trident Lakes Condo Rendering]Trident Lakes When it opens in 2018, Trident Lakes will be one of the most unique gated communities in America. The plans include a spa, a gun range, and 532 fortified subterranean condos built to withstand the apocalypse. Trident Lakes is one of a growing number of luxury developments in the US where "doomsday preppers" can live out Armageddon in the event of a catastrophic event. A spokesperson describes the $300 million development as a "five-star playground with DEFCON 1 preparedness." In early February, the developers unveiled plans for an extravagant, 18-hole golf course on the Dallas, Texas, property. The course, which will sprawl across the development's 700 acres and three 15-acre lagoons, will be named "Course of The Gods." The holes will borrow names from Greek mythology, including Zeus, Poseidon, Hermes, and Nesoi, according to a company statement. "Our board of directors and investors share an ultimate vision of security. Turns out that, through business conversations and social gatherings, they realized a lot of them also share a love for Greek mythology and ornate architecture," Jim O'Connor, CEO of Trident Lakes Corporation, told Business Insider in an email. It is certainly an interesting choice of words to give a golf course — where one-percenters play as the world comes to an end — the name "Course of The Gods." Decorated architect Dave Edsal of DE Golf Design will take the helm on the project. [trident lakes doomsday shelter]YouTube/Trident Lakes Residents at Trident Lake will also enjoy running trails, an equestrian center, restaurants, shops, and a lavish fountain that could create a Guinness World Record for height. The condos, which will range in size from 900 to 4,500 square feet, are made from reinforced steel. Off-the-grid systems will be put in place to supply food, water, and electricity. A spokesperson estimates the cost of a condo will pass the mid-six figures. The developers are currently accepting applications, though the first round of enrollment is by invitation only. Doomsday preppers can join the waitlist online now. NOW WATCH: These doomsday shelters for the 1% make up the largest private bunker community on earth
