A tiny number of people seem naturally resistant to #HIV. Understanding why could help shape the next generation of HIV prevention & cure research.

@BBC_Future explores this area of science, including findings discussed at #IAS2025.

Israel bombed a Roman Fort in Lebanon, over 2000 years old, one of the finest examples of Roman Architecture left on the planet, stood isolated on a hill.

But Israel bombed it anyway.

They are terrorists, and they destroy everything.

Lebanese rescue workers now wait 15 minutes after each strike before responding, the only way, they say, to stay alive long enough to reach the wounded amid Israel's implementation of its Gaza "double-tap" policy in Lebanon. https://t.co/jFRtOqdQDi

Debt servicing is a development issue, not just a fiscal one.

Our 🆕 report #WhoPaysThePrice shows rising debt servicing burdens disproportionately affect women.

See why debt solutions must prioritize employment, human development and gender equality. https://t.co/jsITQ9diVH

Al Jazeera exposes a horrifying reality in Gaza. The Zionist regime has deliberately destroyed what was once fertile farmland, replacing it with a so-called "yellow line" to cut off Palestinians from their own land. This is a calculated policy of starvation and ethnic cleansing designed to permanently cripple the local population.

Prominent farmer Zuhair Quzat reveals the devastating impact of this illegal military occupation. He admits he is terrified to even approach his own property because of the yellow line. The Israeli military has completely decimated their irrigation networks and livelihoods, leaving innocent families with absolutely nothing to survive on.

This isn't just about land disputes; it's about systematically erasing the Palestinian economy and their basic ability to exist. By aggressively seizing control of vital agricultural zones, the establishment in Tel Aviv is ensuring that Gaza remains entirely dependent, impoverished, and under their absolute authoritarian control.

The international community remains entirely complicit as these blatant war crimes unfold in real-time. While Western mainstream media intentionally ignores the deliberate destruction of civilian infrastructure, brave journalists continue to document the sheer cruelty and devastating human cost of the Zionist occupation.

Zambia must decide by April 30 if it'll provide US businesses with preferential access to its minerals, or lose support for 1.3 million people who rely on funding from Washington for HIV treatment.

[Mondoweiss @Mondoweiss]

Genocide does not require mass graves, it also includes efforts to destroy a people's capacity to bring the next generation into being. Israel’s systematic use of torture and sexual violence against Palestinians meets that definition.

In recent years Israel’s conflicts have wreaked havoc and inflicted appalling suffering while sapping its own resources and damaging crucial alliances. This is not how Israeli leaders used to envisage warfare https://t.co/GZOoV2HU7F

looks like China is getting its own #Chartedesvaleurs , ever confirming an insight about old-school Québec sovereignty: it’s Maoism for islamophobes. Nationalism is usually a trap, though, n’est-ce pas?

There are 56 ethnicities in China—and 55 are getting squashed. A new law passed by the Chinese legislature is a grim milestone in the Communist Party’s harder-line approach to ethnic politics https://t.co/ZCyRIwL1Us

Apocalyptic images released by Israeli media of the town of Aitaroun, which they are illegally occupying.

They are burning homes and destroying civilian infrastructure. Both are war crimes.
