@SonyUK Hi Sony, you’ve sold me a faulty (and very expensive lens) and your service centre is now telling me that I have to pay the costs to fix it, despite only purchasing it in September and originally telling me it was under warranty. Is there someone who can help with this?

‘Witnessing this hellscape from the sky, it’s amazing anyone could survive…’ Harrowing report from ⁦@Charlie_Faulk⁩ 3,000 ft above Gaza https://t.co/S8GRhNz3qI

Channel 4 News correspondent Secunder Kermani today went into Gaza with Israeli forces. He saw an apocalyptic landscape and desperate Gazans evacuating to the south.

Misogyny is the fact that when Russell Brand uses his own "promiscuity" as a defence against allegations against him, people rally behind him. Yet when women allege sexual violence, their apparent promiscuity is weaponised to undermine, disbelieve and demonise them

We are devastated to learn of the death of AFP video journalist Arman Soldin in eastern Ukraine today.

All of our thoughts go out to his family and loved ones.

Cannot believe the utter ridiculousness of this “investigation”. So a handful of women were helped out of Afghanistan (where life is hell for women who wanted independence or a career) who may or may not be able to play football - so what?!

My latest with Imran Khan

[The Times and Sunday Times @thetimes]

Four months on from the failed assassination attempt against him, dressed in a crisp white shalwar kameez and black waistcoat, Imran Khan is relaxed yet re-energised, writes @Charlie_Faulk https://t.co/dZJPLTJrud

Why is the press taking the Boris Putin missile story at face value? It’s not a “revelation”. It’s a claim made by an untrustworthy man who knows it can’t be checked 🤷🏻‍♂️

NEW: income inequality in US & UK is so wide that while the richest are very well off, the poorest have a worse standard of living than the poorest in countries like Slovenia https://t.co/gtHvhNsnuT

Essentially, US & UK are poor societies with some very rich people.

A Russian missile hit an apartment building in Kryvyi Rih on Friday. Among the dead are a mother and father, and their 18 month old son. Their 7-year-old son survived but he’s been left with no parents and no home.

Confirmed. What awful, awful news.

Sources in the #Taliban tel me that this letter suspending #university level #education for #women until further notice is authentic.

God have mercy on us.

BREAKING: High Court rules that the British Government’s plan to send some asylum seekers from the UK to Rwanda, to have their claims considered there, is LAWFUL and does not breach the Refugee Convention or human rights laws.
