@British_Airways Sorry @British_Airways I don’t have time for a virtual assistant. I’ll be here all night!

[VirginiaRoaf @VirginiaRoaf]

@British_Airways What an absolute shitshow! A delayed flight led to a missed connection, leading to three hours in a queue, with no onward flight available until Thursday. Luggage stuck in the bowels of LHR terminal 5 until tomorrow morning. Hotel in Luton.

[VirginiaRoaf @VirginiaRoaf]

@British_Airways No, the next possible flight offered is on Thursday or Friday. I am looking into other options, but that will mess up my return flights

[Just Security @just_security]

Social exclusion, environmental discrimination, and systemic #racism have led to unequal access to water and sanitation.

Recognizing the problem is a crucial step, writes @inga_winkler.

Die Zeit drängt: Schreibe jetzt eine Stellungnahme zum Jahnsportpark-Bebauungsplan https://t.co/AlQXU9SG7q

[Patrick Moriarty @ircpatrick]

@ircCatarina @AipWater @DutchMFA @GWPSAF Yes. And this is why @sanwatforall & @IRCWASH are championing "presidential compacts" for safe water and sanitation. Because the evidence shows that we accelerate progress when these human rights and critical public services are high on the national development agenda

[VirginiaRoaf @VirginiaRoaf]

@oli4vb @thecontinent_ @WynonaMutisi I would also be interested in hearing about the impact on access to water for local communities as a result of such breweries

[Olivier van Beemen @oli4vb]

Their village was razed to the ground to make way for a new Heineken brewery on the outskirts of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Read my cover story for @thecontinent_ here. Great illustration by @WynonaMutisi

[💧 Water Integrity Network 💧 @WaterIntegrityN]

At #UN2023WaterConference, for real change and a relevant #WaterAction agenda, we shouldn't be afraid to talk about corruption, systemic integrity failures and discrimination in water and sanitation.
