This Lebanese child went to bed yesterday.

Israel dropped a 600lb bomb on her.

It killed her instantly.

This is what is happening in Lebanon.

Friends, I’m asking for a RT. Please, don’t be indifferent.

In England, you're allowed to clear about 20 metres of silt and rubbish out of a river on your own. Anything past that needs a permit from the Environment Agency. Paul Powlesland's volunteers cleared a 250-metre stretch of the River Roding with a hired digger, which is why a barrister who hauled out 200 bags of trash is now under criminal investigation.

The Roding runs through east London. Powlesland lives on a boat moored on it, and for years he and a group of volunteers have pulled out shopping trolleys, needles, old appliances, even weapons. Kingfishers, herons and dragonflies came back to water that used to be buried under junk. This one job took 10 days and a digger that cost £1,000 to hire.

The rule that caught him is oddly specific. Under England's water rules, scooping silt off the bottom of a river the agency officially manages counts as a "flood risk activity", and the law treats that the same as building a structure in the water. Do it without a permit and the offence carries up to two years in prison. The agency says it is also looking at waste the volunteers left on the floodplain. Powlesland is an environmental lawyer who has used these exact laws to protect rivers and trees, and a conviction could cost him his licence to practise.

The agency's reasoning isn't unreasonable. Dredging done badly can push flooding onto people downstream and wreck the habitat that protected animals need, which is what the permit is meant to prevent. The 20-metre allowance is there for small jobs. And no decision to prosecute has actually been made.

While investigators were knocking on a volunteer's door within a week of his cleanup, water companies discharged raw sewage into England's rivers and seas for a combined 3.6 million hours in 2024, more than 400 years of spilling packed into a single year. Only 14% of English rivers are in good health. Between 2015 and 2025, the Environment Agency investigated water companies for pollution 11,474 times. Fifty-eight of those ended in a prosecution. For serious pollution over the last five years, the number of water companies actually taken to court and convicted is zero.

So the message comes out backwards. Spend ten days and a thousand pounds making a river cleaner and an officer turns up within the week. Pump sewage into that same river for years and the chance of seeing a courtroom is close to zero.

Just yesterday, Russian guided aerial bomb strikes on Zaporizhzhia killed 5 people and injured 26 others. In Poltava, tragically, 2 people were killed and 12 were injured as a result of the shelling, including 6 children. My condolences to their families and loved ones.

The Dnipro, Kharkiv, Odesa, Sumy, Donetsk, Kirovohrad, and Rivne regions also came under attack. Our frontline and border communities are constantly targeted by drones. In total, this week alone, the Russians launched about 2,200 attack drones, more than 1,800 guided aerial bombs, and 87 missiles of various types against Ukraine.

It truly matters that, against the backdrop of these attacks, the G7 and European Council summits and the UDCG meeting delivered results and secured new contributions to strengthen our defense. I am grateful to our partners for their unity. It is now equally important to implement everything quickly, above all the delivery of air defense missiles, so that these new contributions provide real protection for lives from constant Russian strikes. Thank you to everyone who is helping.

In Gaza randomly stumbling upon an Israeli in a tank is a death sentence.

Russians are expanding their "human safari" operations to Ukraine’s city of Kharkiv, now hunting individual civilians and civilian automobiles – yesterday evening targeting a car, killing the passenger and injuring the driver.

🇺🇦😭Azovstal. In this photo, only one woman survived, the rest died in the defense of Mariupol.

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @NAFOvoyager]

💔 Nikopol. He was just doing his job.

And that was enough for russia to kill him.

We still don’t hate russia enough.

[Olena Tregub @OTregub]

People ask: “What will happen to Ukraine now that Ukraine is bombing Moscow?”

Let’s think.

Will Russia invade us?
Bomb our cities with ballistic missiles, cruise missiles drones?
Destroy our civilian critical infrastructure?
Occupy our towns?
Rape and kill civilians, kids, women?
Kidnap Ukrainian children and train them as soldiers ?
Set up filtration camps?
Torture and starve POWs?
Use chemical weapons on the front line?

Wait.

Russia has already done all of this.

With high salaries no longer enough to lure Russians into becoming wormfood in Ukraine, forced mobilization in Russia's regions kicks into high gear.

In Penza men are being abducted off streets, herded into vans.

Have not been able to get this poor Ugandan nurse out of my head...

I've tracked down where we can donate to help her rebuild her life and show her we care

Please help her if you can.

💔 Nikopol. Absolute barbarism.

A russian drone murdered an entire family in a deliberate strike on a city street.

Three civilians were killed. One of the victims was a person in a wheelchair.

This is deliberate terror.
This must not be normalized.

Yesterday, we had a lad freely throwing Nazi salutes right in the beak of a UK Copper.

Today 117 people, including pensioners, were arrested for opposing genocide in Gaza.

Excellent investigative journalism by BBC Panorama, showing Russian involvement not just in arson attacks on Starmer’s house but also in anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim attacks. https://t.co/kGQ3uLDV1Z
