Shell says the documents lack critical context and do not reflect the challenges of operating amid widespread oil theft and organised criminality.

For years senior executives at Shell continued operating a major oil pipeline in Nigeria even though they knew it was causing widespread #pollution.

oil theft, poverty, politics, insecurity and corporate responsibility are all deeply intertwined, and the people living there are often left carrying the burden. 4/4

@ByNaija @MzAgams thank you for sharing!

I’ve also gained a much deeper understanding of how the US political and legal systems function in practice; of military strategy and modern warfare and how rapidly shifting geopolitics are redefining global alliances in real time.

That’s me done in Washington DC 🇺🇸 What a challenging and rewarding few months it’s been! From reporting on the Trump administration and its policies, Epstein files and depositions, Supreme Court rulings, suspected assassinations and of course, the US-Israel war with Iran...

Covering everything from the first US strikes and the Strait of Hormuz closure to the ceasefire and the fast-moving developments in between.
I’ve worked across numerous BBC radio and TV outlets and written in-depth online articles and analysis

@Mohamed99731326 Thank you so much Mohamed! I really appreciate it.

52 days - that’s how long the US war with Iran had been going on for before President Trump declared that indefinite ceasefire. But a ceasefire does not mark an end to a war. Trump has said he won’t hesitate to strike Iran harder 1/3 #iran #unitedstates #news #war #fyp

@jkmccrann Thank you Julian and that is a very good point! It’s going to be interesting to see the outcome of the midterms. There seems to be a lot of confidence around the House of Reps but a bit of uncertainty about the Senate. Either way, Republicans are being kept on their toes!

Do you think Congress has done enough when it comes to the US and Israel’s war on Iran? 3/3

[Simi Jolaoso @simijourno]

he doesn’t get a deal he likes.
It’s important to note - Trump only had 60 days to conclude fighting before legally requiring Congress’s approval to continue. So pausing at 52 days, wasn’t random. The US is still at war, & here’s one way Congress can put an actual end to it 2/3

A White House spokesperson says any implication that people linked to the Trump admin have used inside info to make big profits from putting bets on US attacks on Iran, peace deals or falls in the price of oil is ‘baseless and irresponsible reporting’. Phew — that’s a relief.
