Links 20/04/14

Politics: 

The United Nations in South Sudan, "seeds of genocide" in the Central African Republic, Iran's foreign policy and Uranium enrichment, the increasingly complicated situation in Syria and the peace talks, bookforum with some interesting links to academic writing about the changing nature of wars (and "the rules of drone warfare" here), and the war that began 100 years ago. 

Pop Culture: 

Warpaint's Warpaint streaming here, some bits from Chris Cunningham's documentary on the band here, Savages interviewed about audience immersion here, a new James Blake song, a trailer for the fourth season of Game of Thrones, covering the second part of the third book of A Song of Ice and Fire, and two recommendations for new shows: a cautious one of Black Sails, for now, and a fairly enthusiastic one for True Detective
