Very disappointing update from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, revealing a further delay to the publication of the Phase Two report. It will not be ready before the 7th anniversary and no new date has been given for its publication

The Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act has been the law in South Africa since 1996. Women and girls of all ages can access abortion. This has been in South Africa's constitution for decades. Well done France but we need to see and report with our global eyes.

Horrifying and horrifyingly familiar images from Spain. It has been clear for some time dangerous cladding is an issue in many other countries as well. Really, really hope everyone has got out 🙏 https://t.co/9Xpj4nHA6e

NEW: Tracking data of ships suggests the migrant boat that sank off Greece was hardly moving in the 7 hours before.

Totally contradicts Greek coastguard's claim it was on “steady course & speed” & so didn’t need rescue.
