Tens of thousands used to attend Hong Kong’s candlelight vigil for Tiananmen Square. Now just a few turn up to quietly remember, vastly outnumbered by police.

I reported this story and have been working around the clock since Saturday to cover the deaths and obtain definitive evidence so that we can confidently assign responsibility. We've been reviewing photos of the dust covered bodies of children and verifying their names against the names scrawled on little coffins. We've been debunking false claims about the attack and that the harrowing cemetery photo isn't real. And while it appeared obvious to many early on that the U.S. or Israel hit the school, it takes days to sift through, pinpoint and analyze the evidence. It took four days before a new satellite image we ordered came through so we could confidently assess the damage and the types of weapons used. All that reporting and cross checking and the production of the visuals showing it takes time. But it ultimately allows us to more confidently assert U.S. responsibility, explain our rationale and add to the body of reporting that officials should be challenged with. It's easy to critique a headline, and I agree language matters, but you diminish the reporting. We're not justifying anything, we're stating where the reporting points responsibility, and quoting legal experts on the laws of armed conflict. Here's a gift link https://t.co/yWNfYgojXT

Have been too shattered to write this but for the sake of clarity — I have also been laid off by the Post. I was one of the few journalists still working inside Russia. My last story went on the front page and featured rare testimonies from wounded soldiers criticizing the war.

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

"Things here are very, very bad," a source in Tehran said on Sunday. "A lot of our friends have been killed. They were firing live rounds. It's like a war zone, the streets are full of blood. They're taking away bodies in trucks.”

Message from Soheila Hejab, a Kurdish-Iranian political prisoner arrested for protesting last week and currently held in Kachui prison, Karaj:
“To those who ask about me, tell them that I am not important. Tell the world that in this prison there are a large number of young girls��� ten and twelve years old, possibly around one hundred of them—who have been arrested, and they cannot endure this place of torture. They are not even allowed to inform their families" (of their arrest)

I recently went to Manzhouli - a hustling, quirky Chinese town on the border with Russia that has become a key link in the economic lifeline sustaining Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

South Korea mass exported babies for profit, leaving a trail of fraud and malpractice in adoption services.

Australian adoptees have their own painful stories but no one knows the extent of the scandal here. They are calling for an inquiry to find out.

It’s always a joy to rediscover how engaged and open Taiwanese people are when it comes to sharing their views on geopolitics.
I spent 3 days on the island last week talking to people about Trump’s return and what it means for their future.
