The Latest: Dutch FM calls for EU unity in migrants crisis
The Netherlands took over the rotating EU presidency in January and Koenders says reducing the number of refugees coming is a key goal and his country's presidency will be "extremely pragmatic and operational" to achieve it. The incident raises to four the number of deaths that Greek authorities recorded Friday, as migrants continue to make the short but dangerous sea crossing from nearby Turkey to Greece's Aegean islands despite the winter weather. Italy is blocking a multi-billion euro fund for Syrian refugees in Turkey, insisting the money be paid entirely from European Union coffers rather than by member countries. Swiss authorities are rejecting criticism over their practice of seizing cash from refugees, saying it's based on a decades-old law and only applies in a fraction of cases. A spokeswoman for the Swiss State Secretariat for Migration said Friday the rule requiring asylum seekers to hand over cash worth more than 1,000 Swiss francs ($996) affected just 112 out of 45,000 refugees last year. Lea Wertheimer says the funds — amounting to 210,000 Swiss francs last year — are needed to help cover refugees' upkeep, which can exceed 1,500 francs per person each month. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker says the EU's reputation is being damaged worldwide for the failure of member countries to manage the refugee crisis. Greece is the European Union's busiest entry point for migrants and refugees entering the bloc, with a dramatic spike in the number of people fleeing the civil war in Syria last year.

New Ship Racing To Rescue Desperate Refugees
[New Ship Racing To Rescue Desperate Refugees]Tens of thousands of refugees are still trying to cross to Europe each week from Turkey via Greece, in spite of the dreadful winter conditions. After the bodies of the five-year-old and three-year-old were photographed washed up on the beach at the Turkish resort of Bodrum, the charity MOAS (Migrant Offshore Aid Station) received €2m (£1.5m) in donations from people saddened by the boys' deaths. That money is now helping to fund a new boat rescuing migrants in the Aegean Sea between Greece and Turkey - at a time of year when the journey is even more perilous and terrifying.

Wilde’s Women by Eleanor Fitzsimons review – Oscar's remarkable debt to his mother
‘Fathers should be neither seen nor heard,’ runs one line in An Ideal Husband: ‘Mothers are different’. The influence of Lady Wilde – and other women – helps solve the puzzle of her playwright son Over a century on, Oscar Wilde continues to hypnotise us. The work, though distinctly uneven, is filled with intellectual provocation and delicious fantasy, and studded with scintillation, but it is the life – those action-packed 46 years with their almost Greek trajectory of catastrophe, rapid fall and pitiful resolution – that has marked him out as one of the great symbolic figures of western civilisation. We keep coming back to him, trying to make sense of his actions. Was he simply a victim of society? Were there inherent flaws in him that governed, or failed to govern, his actions? What sort of man, indeed, was he? In person, he beguiled many of his contemporaries, but his behaviour was by no means always admirable; often it was barely intelligible. He remains a mystery, his motives as puzzling as Hamlet’s; this, of course, only increases our fascination in him. Every aspect of his life has been pored over in an unending procession of books – his childhood, his family, his celebrity, his sex life, his radicalism, his formidable intellectual underpinnings, his Irishness, his illnesses, his death, all comprehensively covered. And still the puzzle remains. Eleanor Fitzsimons is to be congratulated on finding a new and eminently profitable angle from which to approach him: the women who were so uncommonly significant in his life. His mother, first, of course; his sister Isola, whose death when still a child devastated him; Lillie Langtry, whose troubadour he affected to be; his poor, utterly bewildered wife Constance; a clutch of influential lady novelists; a handful of leading ladies, who appeared or, quite often, didn’t appear, in his plays; a couple of stalwart middle-aged friends – Adela Schuster and the woman he dubbed “the Sphinx,” Ada Leverson – and sundry caring supporters, mostly French women, at the end. There is no question that Wilde had a deep empathy with women. It is tempting to attribute this to his essential gayness, though he had experienced genuine heterosexual desire (as opposed to the extravagant poses of his relationship to the so-called “professional beauties” such as Langtry), not least for Constance, with whom, initially at least, he attained great happiness. Alfred Douglas, that poisonous, mendacious nightmare, said at least one true thing in his life when he noted that women loved Wilde because “although he was expected to talk brilliantly, he really did a great deal of listening”.
