@MonicaNeagoy Bonjour, je cherche une interlocutrice dans le cadre d’un sujet sur l’encouragement des carrières scientifiques chez les jeunes. Pour la radio télévision suisse, côté radio. Possible de vous parler en direct rapidement? Un grand merci d’avance!

I would like to see or read a purely technical explanation on the type of engineering needed to build underground tunnels, it feels like it might clarify a thing or two about #Israel’s claims towards #Hamas. ⬇️ (interesting ⁦@nytimes⁩ attempt) https://t.co/nG9cCmoCXN

An informative glimpse into what it really means for a UN agency such as @UNRWA to operate on the ground. https://t.co/Yb1qtuDFon #Gaza #UNRWA via @nytimes

[Philippe Lazzarini @UNLazzarini]

- UNRWA did not know what is under its headquarters in Gaza.

- UNRWA is made aware of reports through the media regarding a tunnel under the UNRWA Headquarters in Gaza.

- UNRWA staff left its headquarters in Gaza City on 12 October following the Israeli evacuation orders and as bombardment intensified in the area.

- We have not used that compound since we left it nor are we aware of any activity that may have taken place there.

- We understand, through media reporting, that the Israeli Army has deployed troops within the UNRWA Headquarters in Gaza City.

- We are therefore unable to confirm or otherwise comment on these reports.

- In times of “no active conflict” UNRWA inspects inside its premises every quarter, the last inspection for the UNRWA Gaza premises was completed in September 2023.

- UNRWA is a Human development and humanitarian organisation that does not have the military and security expertise nor the capacity to undertake military inspections of what is or might be under its premises.

- In the past, whenever suspicious cavity was found close to or under UNRWA premises, protest letters were promptly filed to parties to the conflict, including both the de facto authorities in Gaza (Hamas) and the Israeli authorities. The matter was consistently reported in annual reports presented to the General Assembly and made public.

- These recent media reports merit an independent inquiry that is currently not possible to undertake given Gaza is an active war zone.

- The Israeli Authorities have not informed UNRWA officially about the alleged tunnel.

@solomonbrett @accessnow Hi Brett, I'm doing a story on the cost of going to Davos for NGOs, would it be ok if I asked you a few questions about your being at the WEF? Via phone/email or perhaps even Zoom as this is a video story :-)

What a learning curve it’s been to shoot a story on my own today at #wef23 (or rather outside the WEF, let’s not kid ourselves!). Very grateful to @andrewfunkspain and @dak_malual for answering my questions on camera! #happyjournalistintraining

[Catherine R. @hyperlaxe]

@Billbrowder Hi Bill, since you disclosed the amount that the WEF requested from you, would you be ready to disclose what going to Davos is costing you in terms of transport, accommodation, food,... I'm doing a story on the cost of attending the Forum. Grateful if you could DM me!

[Catherine R. @hyperlaxe]

@dak_malual @wef @iwanjuhi Hi there! I'm doing a story on NGOs' access to the WEF and about how they fund their attendance and stay in Davos. Could I ask you a few questions? DM me!

[Catherine R. @hyperlaxe]

@andrewfunkspain Hi Andrew, I'm a student journalist and I'd like to talk to you about you being in Davos, I DMed you!

@JeanAbbiateci .@lecourrier l'a fait et je trouve ça plutôt bien en tant que lectrice (occasionnelle). Il faudrait leur demander ce qui les a convaincus de passer à cette solution plutôt que de réduire leur pagination.

A ransomware attack on the Guardian has hobbled the London-based news organization’s basic operations, shutting down everything from its office wifi to the tills in the staff canteen, @maxwelltani reports https://t.co/DA90aUsBvk

Des nouvelles de l’intrigant projet @polarisnews_ch, dont le concept semble avoir un peu changé pour se centrer désormais sur du «journalisme de voisinage », à l’échelle locale.

(Ça me rappelle un peu le projet Everyblock porté par Adrian Holovaty).

Elon Musk's decision to disable the accounts of prominent journalists is a huge turning point for Twitter, @reedalbergotti writes in Semafor Technology.

It's now clear that Twitter is a site that Musk controls according to his whims and emotions https://t.co/z1O9wwLU5s
