We apologise to readers if YouTube links in the Cornucopia blog and events pages lead nowhere. This is due to the widely publicised nationwide blocking of YouTube in Turkey ahead of the March 30 local elections (see the Guardian, and the Financial Times). Waters have been further calmed by a ban on discussion in the Turkish media of the truly shocking March 27 leaks that led to the decision. Though the international media has been restrained in its coverage (compared to the reaction to last week's blocking of Twitter), those willing to ignore the barely credible scandals engulfing the airwaves will find little solace in the Economist.
