Former MP Kate Kniveton reveals she was advised the family court would “take a dim view” if she tried to prevent her abusive ex from seeing their child. A judge went on to make 14 findings, including rape, against former Tory minister Andrew Griffiths. 🧵

Breaking the Silence: Kate’s Story airs on ITV this Sunday at 10.20pm. Former MP Kate Kniveton’s powerful testimony and insightful accounts from other survivors expose how misunderstood #domesticabuse remains and how our legal system repeatedly fails those it’s meant to protect.
Who is this “if he hadnt murdered women with a crossbow he would have been a swell guy” commentary for? Yeah Kyle Clifford seemed normal, they always do, even when they’re abusing you. There’s no monster gene - it’s always the average man who harms women, & that’s WHY it’s scary.
In Scunthorpe, DFO Paul is pursuing the person who threw a flare in the stands which hit an 11-year-old on the head, and at the Walsall v Crewe game DFO Macca is busy keeping two aggressive groups of fans apart. #FootballCops continues at 10pm on @Channel4

In a ground-breaking experiment, reporter Daisy Maskell finds out for herself how it feels to be spiked. She hears harrowing stories from spiking survivors and hears what the authorities are doing to prevent the rise is spiking incidents.
This is yet another brutal illustration that civilians in Gaza have nowhere safe to go. They fear they will die whether they leave or not. Israel’s order to 'evacuate' is NOT compliant w/ IHL & must be rescinded. Civilians must be granted access to safety, medical care & aid.
Evacuation orders by Israel to hospitals in northern Gaza are a death sentence for the sick and injured
As the @UN's agency responsible for public health, the World Health Organization (WHO) strongly condemns Israel's repeated orders for the evacuation of 22 hospitals treating more than 2000 inpatients in northern Gaza. The forced evacuation of patients and health workers will further worsen the current humanitarian and public health catastrophe.
The lives of many critically ill and fragile patients hang in the balance: those in intensive care or who rely on life support; patients undergoing hemodialysis; newborns in incubators; women with complications of pregnancy, and others all face imminent deterioration of their condition or death if they are forced to move and are cut off from life-saving medical attention while being evacuated.
Health facilities in northern Gaza continue to receive an influx of injured patients and are struggling to operate beyond maximum capacity. Some patients are being treated in corridors and outdoors in surrounding streets due to a lack of hospital beds.
Forcing more than 2000 patients to relocate to southern Gaza, where health facilities are already running at maximum capacity and unable to absorb a dramatic rise in the number patients, could be tantamount to a death sentence.
Hospital directors and health workers are now facing an agonizing choice: abandon critically ill patients amid a bombing campaign, put their own lives at risk while remaining on site to treat patients, or endanger their patients’ lives while attempting to transport them to facilities that have no capacity to receive them.
Overwhelmingly, caregivers have chosen to stay behind and honor their oaths as health professionals to “do no harm,” rather than risk moving their critically ill patients during evacuations. Health workers should never have to make such impossible choices.
Additionally, tens of thousands of displaced people in northern Gaza are seeking refuge in open spaces in or around hospitals, treating them as havens from violence as well as to protect the facilities from potential attacks. Their lives, too, are at risk when health facilities are bombed.
There are verified reports of deaths of health care workers and destruction of health facilities, which denies civilians the basic human right of life-saving health care and is prohibited under International Humanitarian Law.
WHO calls for Israel to immediately reverse evacuation orders to hospitals in northern Gaza, and calls for the protection of health facilities, health workers, patients, and civilians.
WHO also reiterates its calls for the immediate and safe delivery of medical supplies, fuel, clean water, food, and other humanitarian aid into Gaza through the Rafah crossing, where life-saving assistance, including WHO health supplies that arrived earlier today, is currently awaiting entry.

2.1 million UK pensioners are living in poverty – and there are fears the cost of living crisis is making life even more challenging for some.
