Tahir Elci on Diyarbakir city wall last month. When I took photo I sensed it might be for his obituary. Writing it.

Currently, we're on course for increased plastic production, rising chemical pollution, given a veneer of respectability with a coat of greenwash. Ecotoxicologist, Bethanie Carney Almroth, on why only 10% of plastic is currently recycled, in our Watershed Investigations podcast.

This one was tough to write. I’ve edited Kim for more than a decade, with him covering all corners of the world. His job was never to make mine easy - he was always the first to head to a frontline. But he did so with humour and his reporting was superb.

The UK government is complicit in Israel's killing of 7 aid workers in Gaza, includ. 3 Brits. They were killed by Hermes 450 drone manufactured by Elbit Systems - it’s powered by a UK-made R902(W) Wankel engine, produced by Elbit subsidiary UAV Engines in the UK, says @CAATuk

The democratic forces won. Abdullah Zeydan was confirmed as mayor of Van. Her bijî 💜

[Gonca Tokyol @goncatokyol]

What happens in Van, one of the country's biggest Kurdish-populated cities? DEM Party won all 13 districts,
yet, the Justice Ministry objected to the leading candidate’s right to run, and gave it to AKP. All the city is in smokes, a colleague said. Protests continue.

[Rosa Burç @rosaburc]

This is Van and their allies protesting the seizing of the people’s democratic mandate, or maybe one should say: a large, dignified and angry protest against the systematic and long-breathed humiliation politics against Kurds.

[Nick Ashdown @Nick_Ashdown]

State violence against civilians in Van after the government cancels the pro-Kurdish opposition party’s electoral win.

[Rosa Burç @rosaburc]

Eyes on @herkesicinCHP now as their reaction to the (violent ⬇️) annulment of DEM mayorship in Van will certainly show how serious they are with their claim to “defend democracy” and for sure it will determine the democratic potential as well as block or open future alliances.

[Vittles @vittlesmagazine]

Eggs with "greens, all the greens. Chilli butter for the Kurds, because we know so well how to embrace ‘acı’ (the word used for both ‘spicy’ and ‘pain’). And yogurt, for my grandfather, who lives in every spring"

NEWROZ PÎROZ 🧡✨

Wishing you a happy turn of seasons. May this be the spring you need. May it rekindle your fire. May it bring down tyranny and all evil. And our last year away from that other home. Happy new year, wherever you are.

[Molly Codyre @MollyCodyre]

There is something so horrifyingly dystopian about this. Particularly when the US are helping Israel continue to relentlessly bomb Palestinians. It’s like that scene out of The Hunger Games.

Interesting and insightful podcast from @WATERSHED_i. Do listen!

I'm struggling to think of a more grotesque spectacle than our super-rich Prime Minister – whose fortune is estimated to be £529,000,000 – making a £1,000 bet that he will deport people seeking asylum before the next election.

He's gambling over people's lives. It's sickening.

In May 2021, my son Sam, wrote this article in the Sunday Times about his Uncle. Now a decade after this tragedy, the silence from the Post Office is deafening.

[Esra Turk @_Esra_T]

@SamCaveen oh the possibilities!

[watershed_investigations @WATERSHED_i]

We got highly commended by ⁦@pressgazette⁩ #BJA2023 for our investigation into the scale of ‘forever chemicals’ pollution across the UK & Europe. Got pipped to the winning post by ⁦the BBC. But very proud to be amongst amazing company.
