Alexei Navalny’s grave in Moscow’s Borisovskoye Cemetery this morning. One year ago today Russia’s most prominent opposition figure & the Kremlin’s most vocal critic died in a remote penal colony.

@jennyhillBBC @AliFaisalZaidi Congratulations!!

[Nadia Murad @NadiaMuradBasee]

Ten years ago today, my life and the lives of hundreds of thousands of Yazidis were upended and shattered. Coming together with other survivors a decade later to commemorate the 10th anniversary in Sinjar sends a powerful message to those who sought to eradicate us from our homeland and silence us through a campaign of genocide and sexual violence: you have failed. Survivors are more resilient than ever and have exposed the evil ideology of ISIS.

[Alice Cuddy @alice_cuddy]

For two weeks, we've been following one community in Gaza and how it has been impacted by the war.

In al-Zahra, the destruction began with a call to a local dentist, telling him to get his neighbours out of their homes before bombs hit.

BBC journalists covering the attack on Israel were assaulted and held at gunpoint by Israeli police. A BBC spokesperson said journalists "must be able to report on the conflict in Israel-Gaza freely".

👇A must read by the brilliant @alice_cuddy 👏👏👏

As Hamas stormed the Be'eri kibbutz on Saturday, women used a mothers' WhatsApp group to voice their horror and disbelief.

The constant stream of updates show how the attack unfolded and how the close-knit community supported one another.

‘We live in fear that any story could be our last story’ ‘Journalism is dead and buried in #Kashmir’ We spoke to more than 2 dozen journalists who accuse the Indian govt of running a sinister & systematic campaign to silence the press in the region. #India https://t.co/TP215WA6ru

[Steve Rosenberg @BBCSteveR]

Earlier, when I was writing about Prigozhin blaming Shoigu for the war in Ukraine, I was thinking: whatever next...? What came next was this: Prigozhin now accused of "armed mutiny" after calling on Wagner fighters to rid the Russian military leadership of "evil." Extraordinary.

600 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from school. Afghan girls and women continue to be denied their basic human rights as a matter of state policy and the world has remained mostly muted #LetAfghanGirlsLearn
