Editor's note

Refugees fleeing the conflict in Syria have faced intolerance and prejudice as they try to start new lives. But some are also facing prejudice from other refugees – for their religious beliefs. Kat Eghdamian has heard from refugees in Turkey, Jordan and Germany about the harassment they've faced and the pain it causes. But she says intolerance is not inevitable, and the answer is not to keep refugees of different religions apart.

In the aftermath of the Florida school shooting, students and survivors have rallied together to organise marches and protests and have been outspoken in their criticism of gun control in the US. But over the past few days, conspiracy theorists have claimed these survivors are in fact paid actors, working on behalf of gun control campaign groups — who have been coached by the FBI. Adele Senior explains why these allegations are being made and how dramatic action is helping young survivors get their gun control message across.

The fashion world has forgotten older males. Where are the catwalk models representing men over 55? Ania Sadkowska and  Katherine Townsend point to a huge gap in the market in clothes for baby boomers.
