The latest in our series of book recommendations, “The Economist
reads”, concerns the greatest scientific mystery of all: the brain
[https://www.economist.com/the-economist-reads/2024/05/03/these-books-reveal-why-the-brain-is-the-biggest-mystery-of-all?utm_medium=social-media.content.np&utm_source=linkedin&utm_campaign=editorial-social&utm_content=discovery.content&utm_term=li-newsletter%E2%80%93060524].
Enjoy unravelling it.

This weekend brought home to Britain’s governing Conservative Party
the jeopardy it faces at the general election. As we have written
[https://www.economist.com/britain/2024/05/04/in-english-local-elections-labour-won-where-it-needed-to?utm_medium=social-media.content.np&utm_source=linkedin&utm_campaign=editorial-social&utm_content=discovery.content&utm_term=li-newsletter%E2%80%93060524],
it fared dreadfully in a series of local and other election contests
held late last week. In London the incumbent (Labour) mayor, Sadiq
Khan, easily defeated his Conservative challenger. The writing is on
the wall in enormous lettering for Rishi Sunak’s government:
Britain’s voters are furious.

Other electoral contests are under way, too. Voting continues in
India. Our sister publication, _1843_, has published a profile
[https://www.economist.com/1843/2024/05/02/rahul-gandhi-is-on-the-march-but-where-is-he-heading?utm_medium=social-media.content.np&utm_source=linkedin&utm_campaign=editorial-social&utm_content=discovery.content&utm_term=li-newsletter%E2%80%93060524]
of the most prominent opposition leader, Rahul Gandhi. Spoiler alert:
Mr Gandhi may hail from a storied family of prime ministers, but he is
a hapless politician who will lose badly when results are published
early in June.

In the European Union elections are nearing for the European
Parliament, also in June. The question to ask there is whether
far-right parties, notably in Germany, France and Italy, are set to
become dominant. You can follow the race in the coming weeks with our
newly published poll tracker
[https://www.economist.com/interactive/eu-elections-2024-polls-parliament?utm_medium=social-media.content.np&utm_source=linkedin&utm_campaign=editorial-social&utm_content=discovery.content&utm_term=li-newsletter%E2%80%93060524].
(And keep up with the American election one with our Biden-Trump poll
tracker
[https://www.economist.com/interactive/us-2024-election/trump-biden-polls?utm_medium=social-media.content.np&utm_source=linkedin&utm_campaign=editorial-social&utm_content=discovery.content&utm_term=li-newsletter%E2%80%93060524].)

Europeans this week may be more pre-occupied by the presence of an
awkward visitor. China’s leader, Xi Jinping, is spending five days
in France, Hungary and Serbia. Will he get a warm welcome? Considering
China’s active support for Russia under Vladimir Putin, Europeans
should be deeply wary of the Chinese leader. In our latest issue
Chaguan
[https://www.economist.com/china/2024/05/02/china-and-america-trade-blame-for-a-world-on-fire?utm_medium=social-media.content.np&utm_source=linkedin&utm_campaign=editorial-social&utm_content=discovery.content&utm_term=li-newsletter%E2%80%93060524],
our China columnist, offers a preview of the visit. Look out for our
subsequent reporting on it.

As a senior Ukrainian general told us in an interview recently
[https://www.economist.com/europe/2024/05/02/a-fresh-russian-push-will-test-ukraine-severely-says-a-senior-general?utm_medium=social-media.content.np&utm_source=linkedin&utm_campaign=editorial-social&utm_content=discovery.content&utm_term=li-newsletter%E2%80%93060524],
Russia is gaining strength on the battlefield in Ukraine. A looming
offensive could threaten Ukrainian forces, including in Kharkiv, the
second city. The country most actively providing Russia with parts,
electronics and tools that support the Russian armed forces? As our
article on the topic spells out, it’s China
[https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2024/04/29/who-is-supplying-russias-arms-industry?utm_medium=social-media.content.np&utm_source=linkedin&utm_campaign=editorial-social&utm_content=discovery.content&utm_term=li-newsletter%E2%80%93060524].

Worries in Europe are multiplying. Our latest cover story
[https://www.economist.com/leaders/2024/05/02/emmanuel-macrons-urgent-message-for-europe?utm_medium=social-media.content.np&utm_source=linkedin&utm_campaign=editorial-social&utm_content=discovery.content&utm_term=li-newsletter%E2%80%93060524]
paid heed to warnings from France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, who
fears that a combination of threats—military, economic and
electoral—amount to mortal danger for the continent. In his lengthy
interview
[https://www.economist.com/europe/2024/05/02/how-to-rescue-europe?utm_medium=social-media.content.np&utm_source=linkedin&utm_campaign=editorial-social&utm_content=discovery.content&utm_term=li-newsletter%E2%80%93060524]
with us, he set out exactly what that means.

For some lighter relief, let me recommend (as ever) our Dateline game
[https://www.economist.com/interactive/dateline-history-quiz-game?utm_medium=social-media.content.np&utm_source=linkedin&utm_campaign=editorial-social&utm_content=discovery.content&utm_term=li-newsletter%E2%80%93060524].

Last week I sought your views on the campus protests in America, and
you responded in droves. Thank you—we really do read every reply.
BONITA BRYANT writes that “If I were 75 years younger, I’d want to
join the camps”, mostly to show antipathy to Israel’s leader,
Binyamin Netanyahu, who has “caused so much suffering”. In
contrast SYBIL KELLY, who did protest in the ’60s against the
Vietnam war, sees the current demonstrators as “naive”, in part
because they ignore horrors in Sudan, repression in China and beyond.
Finally, IAN STEWART predicts that an Israeli attack on Rafah, if it
comes, will be the cause of larger and longer protests that will, in
turn, put great electoral pressure on Joe Biden.

Thank you for reading. If you have any recommendations for books on
the brain and consciousness, or feedback on this newsletter more

The human brain—the enigmatic organ of thought—is the most
intricate object in the universe, a tangled orchestra of hundreds of
billions of cells generating precise electrical impulses that make up
a mental symphony. Understanding how these harmonies conjure thoughts,
memories and emotions is perhaps the greatest scientific question of
all—the brain seeking to understand itself—and yet the question
remains unanswered after 150 years of investigation by many of the
best brains. Fortunately, they have made some progress. These books
elegantly summarise what is (and is yet to be) known about brains.

Why are Arab armed forces so ineffective?
[https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2024/05/05/why-are-arab-armed-forces-so-ineffective?utm_medium=social-media.content.np&utm_source=linkedin&utm_campaign=editorial-social&utm_content=discovery.content&utm_term=li-newsletter%E2%80%93060524]

When Arab air-defence crews helped fend off Iran’s attack on Israel
in April, they drew much praise. And yet Arab states are not usually
lauded for their martial prowess; many have lousy military
reputations. They have been repeatedly humiliated in wars with Israel.
They proved ineffective during the 1991 Gulf war; Egypt deployed two
armoured divisions but America quickly sidelined them when they
struggled to overcome even limited Iraqi resistance. Other Gulf
countries, such as Saudi Arabia, provided only a handful of troops.
More recently, despite considerable American military support, the
Saudi-led intervention in Yemen descended into a quagmire.

Sir Keir Starmer had plenty of choices to take a victory lap after
local elections in England on May 2nd. The Labour leader could have
nipped to Swindon, home to a classic marginal constituency, where
Labour increased its majority on the council. He could have visited
Nuneaton, a bellwether seat in the Midlands, where the party snatched
control. In the end Sir Keir plumped for Northallerton Town football
club in North Yorkshire. Labour had just won the first ever mayoralty
of the region, which is home to some of the safest Tory seats in the
country. That would have upset the local Tory mp, one Rishi Sunak.
