Host President Emmanuel Macron is to chair the final day of the two-day meeting in the French city of Lyon on Thursday and meet African heads of state.

A collective, universal and ambitious signal,” she added. The UN’s World Health Organization says 770,000 people died of HIV...

Have you ever been expecting an important email all day only to discover it buried under a heap of  unimportant, unread messages in your inbox? If you were to take a look at 10 people’s inboxes, you would probably find out that six of them have thousands of unread messages. This isn’t to say that they don’t check their emails daily but messages keep coming in and that they find it hard organising them. The whole essence of having an inbox is to see the messages that are yet to be responded to or acted  on but this isn’t usually the case. The average person’s inbox is always cluttered with threads of messages that have been replied and a dozen other unread messages. Despite all the important — and unimportant — emails flying in daily, one may think that getting the inbox to a zero level is unachievable, however, it is. This means maintaining and organising the inbox so that every mail has its place to avoid having an untidy inbox. Inbox Zero was introduced by an American writer...
