In 2023, NPR ran a big story about the danger of glacier melt creating a huge lake of water that could one day flood a Nepalese valley… https://t.co/jABaBESLot

Important read by @hugh_muir on the unjustified social media abuse being levelled against our @guardian colleagues who did their jobs empathetically, professionally & responsibly.

Elon Musk’s X latest to block Saudi dissident accounts inside kingdom | X | The Guardian @guardian by @GenevaAbdul

Those affected include Yahya Assiri, a Saudi human rights activist who runs ALQST, and Abdullah Alaoudh, a US-based activist and vocal critic of Saudi human rights violations. Others 60+ accounts affected include exiled activists, Saudi academics and independent media.
Alaoudh, a senior policy adviser for Gulf issues at the American Committee for Middle East Rights, said: “I think it’s horrible because we were fighting tyrants back home and now we’re fighting tyrants and their cronies here where we are in exile.

A sorry commentary on Weak Britain: the UK is a "hunting ground for authoritarian regimes" when it comes to those who would express opposition to dictators, https://t.co/D3T8EjPUuW @ShazadAkbar

This event should never have gone ahead.

Now there is a prima facie case that people were advertising land in illegal settlements contrary to law.

Referring this to the ASA is wholly inappropriate and completely inadequate. The government needs to act.

Today's attack on Iran is an attack on the postwar legal order. Yet again, Trump has taken an action that threatens to end an era of historic peace and return us to a world in which might makes right. The cost will be paid in human lives.

[Mark Simon @MarkSimonHK]

Solid piece by @amyhawk_ & @GenevaAbdul - picks up on HK once again tagging China over Jimmy Lai.

Liu Xiaobo given an 11 yr sentence.

Folks, -some inside China, asking, “why did this guy get 20yrs”?

@newsgovhk not making Xi of @MFA_China life easier.

Knowing about the world is not a luxury. It is a necessity. After layoffs at @washingtonpost now AFP wants to reduce expatriate positions by 2/3. Don’t be surprised: Soon activists and lobbyists, living comfortably in the West, will replace foreign correspondents reporting from crisis regions. It’s already happening.
