An environmental catastrophe is unfolding right now in Russia, where 20,000 tons of oil has spilled in to the Arctic, turning rivers red and poisoning the land.
It is one of the worst spills in history.
"We've never seen anything like this in the Arctic."

@thobbsjourno I do think he risks overexposure and all those albums have weaker moments - I guess he could have taken the best tracks from all three and released something that was all killer. But as a Boldy fan I’m not complaining!
@thobbsjourno I mean, this year alone? Bricktionary, Across The Tracks, and Penalty Of Leadership. He is ridiculously generative (esp considering he nearly died last year!!)
Politicians run most of the sugar mills in the state of Maharashtra.
That’s why they deny or downplay evidence of coerced hysterectomies, debt bondage and child labor in the fields.
Searing new investigation from @meghara and @nytimes.

My latest for @NewYorker. Four Saudi princesses were kept drugged and imprisoned for almost two decades after challenging the regime. A Texan doctor who tried to free them speaks out about the life-threatening brutality they faced. https://t.co/zBxBYAr6gl
In 2021, Kanye West paid $57.3 million for a beach house, in Malibu, designed by the heralded architect Tadao Ando. He then disembowelled its interior. Was Ye desecrating a masterpiece, or testing the limits of radical design? https://t.co/V6ORLH4mV5

Via the Reliable Sources newsletter: This is the stop-in-your-tracks front page of Friday's Wall Street Journal, marking the one-year anniversary of Evan Gershkovich's detention (https://t.co/2OfBJDVAYS)
In January, #Houthis sentenced 32 men to prison, death by stoning/crucifixion, and/or to flogging on dubious charges of "sodomy." This is one of many cases of Houthis charging people with immoral acts as a cover for their brutality + lack of due process.

Women are sterilised and children are married off in support of India's brutal sugar cane industry.
It is a system that Coke and Pepsi profit from.
That system is precisely unravelled, and beautifully humanised, in this must-read investigation.

@SkyNews@SamCoatesSky @TomLarkinSky @DavidMapstone Also I know I'm like a week late to this...! But well done to all the nominees and winners too. There was some amazing journalism last year.
So happy to be a part of the team at @SkyNews that won a Royal Television Society award for our Westminster Accounts series.
