## Resource

Is Bucharest’s left-right coalition a sign of things to come? Should women be offered sterilisation as freely as men are offered vasectomies? And has art fallen victim to politics in Venice? Olly Mann and The Week delve behind the headlines and debate what really matters from the past seven days.
