Putting a country's leader on trial once seemed unimaginable, but as @stevecrawshaw describes the possibilities of justice have been transformed . . .

I'm looking forward to reading this v timely book by @stevecrawshaw who gave an inspiring speech last night about the moral courage it takes to bring war crimes perpetrators to justice. I woke up to media hesitating to call Trump's plan for #Gaza what it is - a war crime.

This one was tough to write. I’ve edited Kim for more than a decade, with him covering all corners of the world. His job was never to make mine easy - he was always the first to head to a frontline. But he did so with humour and his reporting was superb.

Western liberal politicians and media like to blame Netanyahu for everything that's wrong in Israel. That is a false and dangerous notion. All Zionist "opposition" parties (Gantz, Lapid) and President Herzog condemning Khan just shows Israelis either deny or justify war crimes

My colleague, the head of the human rights center "Memorial," 70-year-old Oleg Orlov, has just been sentenced to 2 years and 6 months in a Russian prison for his human rights activities. 1/4

Since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began two years ago, the most useful thing I've done is this lecture series on Ukrainian history.
Thanks to Yale for making it public.

Starmer says Gaza fighting ‘must stop now’ & warns against Rafah assault; but no reference to compliance with int’l law or @CIJ_ICJ Order of 26.01.24 or duty to #preventgenocide - is former DPP ever going to invoke the #RuleOfLaw regarding #Gaza? theguardian.com/politics/202…

I am shocked by the news of Alexei @navalny's death. My heart is with his family today. This tragedy is further proof that for dictators, human life holds no value. I urge the global community to act now to protect my husband & other political prisoners, who are in great danger.

Navalny threatened Putin because he revealed the extent of his theft and corruption. Putin killed Navalny because he couldn't let that truth be known.

Michael, the ICU doctor who cared for you, laminated & pinned the poem to your bed, was @PettyThom.
He is none other than our chief medical advisor on BREATHTAKING!
What were the chances?!
I hope this makes you smile.
Thank you so much for last night 💙

Last night at @BAFTA premiere of BREATHTAKING, we were so honoured to have @MichaelRosenYes introduce the screening by reading his glorious tribute to the NHS, his poem “These Are the Hands”.
And then something completely unexpected and wonderful happened. 1/3

Few people can explain the situation in #Gaza with the sober clarity of @YousefHammash - who, like other Gazans, is living through hell
“In the northern part of Gaza… it is literally a famine - people are dying from hunger.”
Filmmaker Yousef Hammash, who is sheltering in Rafah with his family, speaks to @krishgm about what people are making of Israeli calls for people to leave the southern city.

The moment of truth in yesterday’s @UKHouseofLords Rwanda debate (after 6.15 pm). The government asks us to declare that Rwanda IS safe but had to accept that the necessary safeguards are not in place – and could give us no timescale or meaningful details on progress.

Tonight @Channel4News I'm reporting on the overnight Israeli raid in Rafah which rescued two hostages, but killed 67 Palestinians, several of them children. Western leaders' language telling Israel to cease fire is getting stronger - but they have not stopped arms supplies.

Channel 4’s @alextomo ‘s jaw dropping report shows that Post Office Execs were paid tens of thousands in bonuses to co-operate with the Public Inquiry.
Then Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng signed off on the scheme along with BEIS
Post Office says the money will now be paid back

People will die, today, because of the cynical game played by the American Republican party. Their irresponsibility is breathtaking
