The Director of the UN's New York office just resigned after thirty years at the organisation over the UN's handling of the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.

The entirety of his resignation letter is a necessary read but this first page blew me away.

Some say the Taliban have changed. This is Herat, yesterday. These images might as well have been taken in 1997.

The suspected #Marburg case in Guinea has been confirmed by the Institut Pasteur in Dakar, Senegal. First time Marburg has been detected in Guinea & West Africa. Work underway to find people who were in contact with the initial case, who has died.

[Andrew Croxford @andrew_croxford]

Consider taking an hour of your day, once a week, learn about vaccines. History, technology, successes and failures. It will be the biggest topic of our lives for the next year, wherever you live. It will affect your work, life, relationships, plans and aspirations.

UK coronavirus live: 'major incident' declared in London as cases surge https://t.co/zp7xrTgPXe

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

BREAKING:

Today I have declared a major incident in London because the threat this virus poses to our city is at crisis point. One in 30 Londoners now has COVID-19. If we do not take immediate action now, our NHS could be overwhelmed and more people will die.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

The virus is clearly out of control.

It’s not good enough for the Prime Minister to hint at further restrictions at unspecified times and then do nothing.

He must put national restrictions in place within the next 24 hours.

No more dither, no more delay.

As the UK enters lockdown 2.0, we're working harder than ever to develop the Oxford #Covid19 vaccine safely and as quickly as possible.
How? Careful planning, extraordinary logistics and a whole lot of help: https://t.co/nlFOXlG8kC

Here's another map that shows the state of internal US politics vs the world in a different light

Today, the United States became the only country on the globe to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, a UN climate change fighting deal backed by Obama and Biden, but opposed by Trump
