Message from kyiv: Missile hits Gareth Jones Street:-
A Russian missile fell on Gareth Jones Street last night, there is damage, but we don't know the details yet. I hope this won't prevent the monument from being erected. But these are the realities that Kyiv lives in.

@EducationHrec The newly revised and expanded 3rd edition of Gareth Jones: Eyewitness to the Holodomor will be published by the Welsh Academic Press this fall to coincide with the commemoration in Kyiv.

@MickAntoniw1 @LabourHub Note by Jones from March 10, 1933, on a train near the border of Ukraine. “Talked to group of women peasants. ‘We’re starving. Two months we’ve hardly had any bread. We’re from Ukraine& we’re trying to go North. The’re dying quickly in the villages.’”

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

There are rumours it is considering introducing a 'commercial research exception' for AI training. This would be disastrous. It would mean handing the life's work of British creatives to AI companies for free, to train their models on.

In the House of Lords today, a government minister refused to rule this out.

To be clear, this would amount to legalising theft. It would fly in the face of public opinion on what is fair, and would mean a surrender of British creatives' work by this Labour government. It would mean the lobbying by big US tech firms had succeeded, and the protests of the UK's creatives had been ignored.

People's work is not the government's to give away.

If you're in the UK and you care about creatives and the creative industries, please write to your MP!
