Infuriating: One day after competing without headscarf at Asian Climbing Competition, #Iran’s Elnaz Rekabi has gone missing, phone confiscated, @IranWireEnglish reports that she is being flown to Evin prison. Cruel doesn’t even begin to describe it:
The Russian Government has reportedly begun to provide Information Packets and Flyers on what Citizens should do in the case of a Nuclear or Chemical Attack in the Border Regions near Ukraine, this flyer was reportedly given to Parents of a Kindergarten in the Rostov Region.
Today we witnessed some of the destruction that a downed missile can do to a residential neighbourhood. Vynohradar, Podilsky District of #Kyiv#Ukraine with @JamWaterhouse@4nnchor and @gpjhill
After a month in Ukraine we’ve left for a bit, full of guilt at going but grateful to all we met. I won’t forget them & will be back v soon

A big ask: can anyone suggest a good option for a wonderful Ukrainian family of four (2 women, 2 teenage girls) plus beautiful dog & cat, somewhere safe in Europe?
Uk may work eventually…but they are looking for something now
Thank you x
The wait for President Putin's next move continues - will he, won't he invade #Ukraine ? We report from the country's East, a conflict zone since 2014. With thanks to @Goktay@Wburema@N_sosnytska@gpjhill@abdujalil
@MasoudPopalzai@alibomaye On top of evacuating 15,000 people
Doubled aid this year to £286 million to provide essentials to 6.1 million.

Spent the day self-isolating worried I might have covid… but in fact it was just a bad reaction to the terrible air quality in Kabul right now… this is a pic of the black smog in the city as we approached from the west last week
Awful air across S Asia a major health issue
Millions will not survive the winter in #Afghanistan. We saw the distressing impact of starvation on babies at @MSF hosp in Herat. Families are selling a child to feed their other children. One of our team was asked if we want to buy a baby. @Imo_Anderson@sanjayganguly@gpjhill
Without intervention, millions will not survive the winter in #Afghanistan. An @MSF_Afghanistan hosp in Herat is overcapacity, but every day more emaciated babies come. Families have told us they’ve sold one child to keep their others alive. @Imo_Anderson@sanjayganguly@gpjhill
