@theJeremyVine @JohnNicholRAF Amazing, v keen to read John’s book. If I remember things right, my late granddad (RAF pilot) was involved in the early ejector seat test programme and had to have several vertebrae removed later in life

#RIHLive @holland_tom are you still enjoying the Patrick O’Brien books and do you see yourself as Maturin, Aubrey or Killick? And what’s your favourite type of knot?

Highly recommend this piece by @soundboy on the challenges around AI development, the diverse risk perceptions and arguments re. what to do about it. Even so left me with sense that these questions are becoming more urgent as progress exponentializes:

Agreement reached! ✅

After 3 weeks, a few late nights and plenty of compromise by all sides, we got there in the end: agreeing a way forward to strengthen the Biological Weapons Convention 🇺🇳.

Highlight for me was being part of this sterling 🇬🇧 team. What a super lot.

[Aidan Liddle @AidanLiddle]

Into the final few hours of the #BWCRevCon, and working hard for a deal. My thanks to the brilliant 🇬🇧 delegation!

[Philip Cattle @philipcattle]

Talks in Geneva 🇬🇧🇺🇳 on finding ways to strengthen the Biological Weapons Convention passed the halfway point yesterday.

We’ve heard many proposals and ideas. Our task now is clear: to negotiate them into a package that everyone can sign up to. Plenty of work ahead.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

As the world gathers to review the Biological Weapons Convention, I call on leaders to ensure that science & technology are used for the benefit of humanity.

Strengthening this disarmament treaty - with the financial and human resources it needs - is more important than ever.

[Stephen Lillie CMG @StephenLillieUK]

From The Hague to Geneva, this important week for arms control continues. Joining @AidanLiddle and team at #BWCRevCon today to deliver 🇬🇧 national statement, reaffirming our strong support for international efforts to maintain prohibition of biological weapons

[Aidan Liddle @AidanLiddle]

.@StephenLillieUK gives the UK general statement to open Day 2 of #BWCRevCon. Urged States Parties to grasp the opportunity of the Experts Working Group proposal to strengthen the Convention, boost the ISU, and create an S&T review mechanism.

The UN Security Council just rejected 🇷🇺’s draft resolution spreading bioweapons-related disinformation about 🇺🇸 and 🇺🇦. Good. Enough time wasted. Now back to addressing the real issue: Russia’s continued brutal aggression against #Ukraine

[Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office @FCDOGovUK]

Russia has spread disinformation, including wild and inconsistent claims involving biological weapons, to try to justify its aggression against Ukraine.

Read our Biological Weapons Convention statement, de-bunking these claims ↓

[Philip Cattle @philipcattle]

See our statement at the BTWC Article 5 meeting this week. 👇

🇷🇺 disinformation duly debunked.

🇬🇧 stands for truth and peaceful biological cooperation under Article 10 - and as always, with 🇺🇸 and 🇺🇦

[Aidan Liddle @AidanLiddle]

Day 3 of the #1972BWC Article V consultative meeting, set aside for statements by other delegations. 🇬🇧 highlighted Russia’s track record of bioweapons disinformation. Normal 🇺🇦-🇺🇸 Article X cooperation is being demonised - which is dangerous for the Convention.

@AshUKTrade @CScottFCDO Yeah pretty good tbh! A hole in the wall by the bakery, on the east side of Chinatown

[BWC Implementation Support Unit @BWCISU]

Opening the 1st #BWCRPM, High Rep. @INakamitsu suggested 5 priorities to strengthen the #1972BWC

1⃣ - strengthen implementation
2⃣ - monitor S&T
3⃣ - institutional strengthening
4⃣ - operationalize assistance and cooperation
5⃣ - explore ways to ensure compliance
