“Doctors are actually supposed to bear witness to crimes and are supposed to report them when they see them.” Dr @FerozeSidhwa tells me about his time working in Gaza, what he witnessed, and why he and colleagues are speaking out.

“International journalists are barred and Palestinian journalists are often ignored. So we were the only ones left.”

Their experiences are seen in the new documentary American Doctor.

Palestinian journalist Ali al-Samoudi was recently released from Israeli prison, where he was held for a year without charge and without a trial. He lost around half his body weight behind bars. “It was a real hell,” he tells @JDiamond1, in this heart-wrenching report.

[Jeremy Diamond @JDiamond1]

I barely recognized the journalist Ali al-Samoudi when I saw him this week. He had been imprisoned by Israel — without charge and without a trial — for a year, during which time he lost half his body weight.
He is one of 105 Palestinian journalists who have been imprisoned by Israel since October 7, 2023 — most without charge, according to @pressfreedom.

“Even the apartheid regime in South Africa did not dare to say that if a black man kills a white man, he will be executed. But if a white man kills a black man, he will not be. What Israel did…it is exactly that saying that a Palestinian could be sentenced to death penalty, but an Israeli no for the same crime.” -@MustafaBarghou1 on Israel’s new death penalty law.

President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu are “outright lying,” and “selling a fantasy to Iranian people who are rightfully desperate for regime change,” says Iranian-American Democratic Congresswoman @yassaminansari, who calls the Iran operation an “illegal war.”

“I hope that America and its allies will allow the fate of Iran to be determined by the Iranian people themselves”: I speak to Iranian dissident and Oscar-nominee Mehdi Mahmoudian from Tehran, while under bombardment.

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

"Cutting Through Rocks", the first Iranian documentary to be nominated for an Oscar, follows Sara Shahverdi, a midwife in a village in rural Iran, as she continually defies the conservative restrictions on women.

Its directors tell me, "as storytellers, we have the responsibility to share those stories, to inspire each other and to remind each other that change is possible in a very peaceful way."

Exclusive: The Nobel Committee say they have credible reports that Iranian Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi has been severely beaten in custody. The allegations are graphic and horrific. Nobel chair Jørgen Frydnes calls it “cruel and inhumane treatment, a blatant violation of international human rights law.”

"This is not a story. This is history. We can't afford to look away."

Filmmaker Kaouther Ben Hania tells me why it's essential people watch her heart-shattering film, 'The Voice of Hind Rajab', featuring the real voice of five-year-old Hind, who was killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.

"Bear witness, and if it's really hard, do something about it."

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

"When I was 33 in 1994, I went to 43 funerals." Tilda Swinton tells me about the devastating impact of the AIDS crisis and how those losses shaped her life and career-- "I carry all my beloveds around with me all the time."

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

"I was horrified. I wanted to throw up. Unfortunately, I wasn't surprised," @nattyray11 of @HRL_YaleSPH tells @biannagolodryga about seeing satellite images of El Fasher. "We've been briefing the international community since July 2023 that this was going to happen."

@HamidMurtada concurs: "Everyone chose to watch as this happens and unfolds. And now we get nothing but empty statements of condemnation."

[Mohamed Salah @MoSalah]

Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?

"I just wish we could wrap [Gaza's children] all up in love, and give them everything they need, and we could, and that's what's so painful."

In a TV exclusive, Ms. Rachel, the children's entertainer, educator and internet sensation tells me why she'll never stop speaking up for the children of Gaza.

"I think the backlash, it's painful, but then you have to be like, I know who I am and I know what's right...I know what my responsibility is as someone who has this platform to speak up for them."

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

“South Africa was well on the way to getting our [AIDS] epidemic completely under control, and possibly… ending the epidemic itself,” says veteran activist @ZackieAchmat. But since US aid cuts, “all that is in danger and people will be dying in the most horrific circumstances.”

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]
