The Settlers, the doc I made for the BBC, is now available to stream in the US on BBC Select. It couldn’t be more timely with the announcement today that the Israeli govt has approved construction of 22 new settlements in the West Bank - which are illegal under international law.

[Barry Malone @malonebarry]

Israel has just killed Hossam in a targeted strike. He was 23.

[Long Covid Support @long_covid]

Huge thank you to @DarrenBar88 for giving this insight in to the impact of #LongCovid on his life over a year.

“It’s kind of like I don’t exist… People are housebound, so we’re invisible and that has an effect on how society view us, how politicians view us”

#CureLongCovid

[Adam @ABrokenBattery]

Darren is one of about 2 million people living with #LongCovid in England and Scotland, he is too ill too work and talks about losing his job, and the lack of investment into research for treatments to help people back to work,

📺Emotive, beautifully shot doc by The Guardian of a year with Long Covid with @DarrenBar88

It powerfully depicts the devastating impact #LongCovid is still having on individuals, families and society.

And how the government needs to do more to resolve this crisis.

Everyone should watch this short 8 minute video about the reality of life with #LongCovid. I also am unable to be the parent I want to be to my two children due to this illness 😪. https://t.co/PanM7sGXpT

Our Foreign Secretary @DavidLammy says ‘there are no journalists in Gaza’. So who is taking the pictures on our TV screens? Whose are the bylines on newspaper reports? Who are the journalists winning all the awards? Palestinian journalists risking their lives to bring the news.

Beautiful to see so many anti-fascists turning out to protect Asylum Link in Liverpool tonight. Will mean so much to the incredible, tireless team inside. We did a film following just a little of their work late last year:

Shot and produced by me with the best team @MohamedSaiduBah, Bruno Rinvolucri, Ophaniel Gooding and exec’d by @studiocanoe and @katielambornyes

Our latest film about a drug abuse epidemic of young people becoming addicted to ‘kush’ - a deadly cocktail of chemicals, drugs and even human bones.

[Frances Rankin @FranRankin]

Rehab places are limited and we saw how some are turning to kush ‘healers’ who are putting patients in metal chains.
