President Vladimir Putin's tenure has seen a systematic rolling back of many of the freedoms attained by Russians after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Russians have watched their...

But here's another evidentiary problem for those beating the obesity drum: life expectancy in Australia is slated to go on increasing for at least another half-century. According to ABS projections, an average 50-year-old in 2051 will live to age 87; an average woman to 89.
