Pakistan’s ISI spy chief takes a victory lap after the #Taliban take Kabul—at the hotel where #SpikeDubs was murdered in 1979. The crime was one reason the CIA first put itself at the mercy of the ISI.

London has opened the door for thousands more Hongkongers to move to Britain in light of the jailing of media tycoon Jimmy Lai.

A statement by the UK Home Office on Monday said Britain had a historic commitment to Hong Kong: “Adult children of British National (Overseas) status holders who were under 18 at the time of Hong Kong’s 1997 handover to China will now be eligible to apply for the route independently of their parents. Their partners and children will also be able to move to the UK under the expanded route. It is estimated 26,000 people will arrive in the UK over the next five years.”

The change puts an end to situations where some children of British National (Overseas) passport holders were able to resettle in Britain, whilst others were not.

When approached by HKFP after the Apple Daily founder was sentenced to 20 years behind bars, @fcchk President Morgan Davis said they had “no comment at this time,” whilst @HKJA_Official Chair Selina Cheng said she was “unable to speak freely about the sentencing.”

"Everyone was shocked and crying. We've been told we will be sent back (to the Taliban) within two weeks." Collateral damage? No, these women are being expressly betrayed by the West.

'As the oppression of #Afghan women has become more extreme and medieval, the contrast between the Taliban’s actions at home and the embracing of their national sports team on the international stage is jarring.' @ZahraJoya

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Today we are mourning the loss of one of our own. An Alberta Wildfire crew member was fatally injured yesterday while responding to the wildfire in Jasper. This morning we stood heartbroken with our partners as a procession passed by.

To suppress the truth about #June4 1989, #XiJinping's State police put dissidents under guard or take them on enforced 'vacations.'
