For #ValentinesDay2022 I wrote in @GQMagazine about my recent experience getting a #vasectomy. Maybe it's the long-lasting gift for your partner you've been looking for? @WorldVasDay @UNFPA #anactoflove #MaleContraception

I condemn Israel’s actions which killed scores of innocent civilians who were only seeking shelter from this deadly conflict.

There is no safe place in Gaza.

This horror must stop.

Honoured to address parliamentarians from more than 100 countries at the 8th #IPCI on the implementation of the #ICPD. Our #SRHR movement knows no borders. How we act now will define our common future.

Humanitarians working in Gaza shared with me the extremely challenging environment they work in.

Some of them, with decades of experience, said they have never encountered a situation as difficult as this.

Aid workers need resources, access & safety - now.

@theanalyst @benstokes38 And I’d like to know if Hawkeye can predict the ball’s trajectory when it hits a batter on the full, before it bounces? As bounce and turn can be so variable there must be more room for error when trying to predict bounce and turn. 2/2

[Eddie Wright @eddiestarbuck]

@theanalyst @benstokes38 The current system is solid & the biggest problem is how the results are communicated to inquisitive audiences & mouthy ignorant pundits. But as Hawkeye is now so accurate I agree we should get rid of umpire’s call. But why does Hawkeye make the stumps a fake rectangle shape? 1/2

February 6 marks the International Day of Zero Tolerance for Female Genital Mutilation, or FGM. According to Dr. Wisal Ahmed, @UNFPA Global Coordinator for the FGM Trust Fund, health complications due to FGM add up to $1.4 billion each year.

“I don’t think I've ever been anywhere where I've seen such extreme suffering.”

In December, humanitarians coordinated a mission to #Gaza City to evacuate critically injured patients.

What they encountered was deeply harrowing.

Jake Morland, from our team, recounts that day.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

I've just invoked Art.99 of the UN Charter - for the 1st time in my tenure as Secretary-General.

Facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, I urge the Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe & appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared.

"Pregnant women have nowhere to go and they are facing unthinkable challenges."

UNFPA's Dominic Allen tells Sky News that he's "deeply concerned about the one million women and girls in Gaza".

.@ZaltzCricket did you see the scorecard for Nepal vs Mongolia at the #AsianGames2023? a 273 run winning margin in T20 is pretty convincing. There are some solid stats here, like a 9-ball 50 for Dipendra Singh Airee.

Based on available evidence, Brexit, in its current form, is one of the things constraining the growth of the UK's economy. Here's 5 mins on how we reached that conclusion. Watch the full edition of 'On the Week' on @BBCiPlayer here: https://t.co/Dk6BFgX0sx

In this moment of peril, I must underscore my duty as Secretary-General to uphold the @UN Charter.

The Charter is clear.

Any annexation of a State’s territory by another State resulting from the threat or use of force is a violation of the Principles of the Charter & int’l law.

[Eddie Wright @eddiestarbuck]

@sonos I just received an email from you saying that "students who listen to music while studying feel more prepared for class, have an easier time taking tests, and get higher grades." Can I ask you to quote the source for these assertions?

[Eddie Wright @eddiestarbuck]

@AmericanAir Thanks. I can’t remember the captain’s exact name, but it started with V and sounded Dutch. She also gave my son a pin with wings which made him really happy. Please express our gratitude to her!

[Eddie Wright @eddiestarbuck]

@AmericanAir Your crew & captain were amazing to us & our 2 small kids on AA 235 yesterday. This culminated in your captain going onto the tarmac @ JFK to find part of our stroller that had fallen out in the hold - what service! See her emerge victorious in photo. Thanks so much
