We've been leaked a trove of more than 124,000 confidential files from the tech giant Uber. If you have the app on your phone, you might want to discover the methods that enabled its global expansion.... theguardian.com/news/2022/jul/…

Noel Clarke was today ordered to pay the Guardian an “initial” £3m towards the legal costs of successfully defending his libel claim. The judge also refused his request for more time to consider filing an appeal. theguardian.com/culture/2025/s…

@DanNeidle @Lucy_Osborne @sirin_kale Thanks Dan.

@PaulLewis @Lucy_Osborne @sirin_kale It is. But also a vindication for you and the Guardian. You could have backed down and not run the story (or run a weaker he said/she said version). You could have settled the litigation - I suspect financially that would have made sense.

The Guardian has won its High Court legal battle with the actor and director Noel Clarke, who sued us for libel over allegations of sexual misconduct. We ran two defences – truth and public interest – and won on both. judiciary.uk/wp-content/upl…

Meticulous, brave and seriously groundbreaking reporting by @harryfoxdavies, @mck_beth, @yuval_abraham and @MeronRapoport. Here is @972mag's story: 972mag.com/icc-israel-sur…

Revealed: Israel spied on the ICC's chief prosecutor Karim Khan as part of a nine-year 'war' in which it hacked, pressured, smeared and allegedly threatened court officials. Here is the full story, based on our joint investigation with +972 and Local Call. theguardian.com/world/article/…

Revelations about Yossi Cohen’s operation will form part of an investigation by the Guardian, the Israeli-Palestinian publication +972 Magazine and the Hebrew-language outlet Local Call, revealing how Israeli intelligence ran a covert “war” against the ICC for almost a decade.

A truly extraordinary global scoop today from @harryfoxdavies: The ex-head of the Mossad, Israel’s spy agency, threatened a chief prosecutor of the ICC as part of a secret campaign to pressure her into dropping a war crimes investigation. theguardian.com/world/article/…

Another extraordinary scoop from @MaeveMCC, who has found another Damien Hirst formaldehyde – this one sold to Las Vegas billionaires for around $8m – that was dated to the 1990s but made in 2017. theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

The Guardian's arts critic Jonathan Jones on the Damien Hirst formaldehyde backdating revelations, and why they left him feeling "betrayed". theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

Investigation reveals that Damien Hirst dated three animals pickled in formaldehyde to the 1990s - even though they were not made until 2017. Top reporting by ⁦@MaeveMCC⁩. theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

Hard to comprehend how a men-only private member's club can exist in 2024. Curious to see whether (or how) these figures of the British establishment explain their ties to a club with such a policy. Bravo to @ameliagentleman for getting the story out. theguardian.com/society/2024/m…

Revealed: one of the largest military contractors in the US paid "commissions" to a company later alleged to have been a conduit for bribing Saudi royals. Top reporting from @davidtpegg and @robevansgdn. theguardian.com/world/2024/mar…

Our investigative reporters @davidtpegg and @robevansgdn can tell this story now because of the conclusion of an extraordinary trial of two alleged middle-men who were acquitted. Their defence: the UK and Saudi governments authorised the payments. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/m…

The Project Arrow controversy raises questions for top senior civil servants and ministers about what's been going on in recent years (and may be ongoing now). But it can also be viewed as the latest twist in a long and murky story of UK-Saudi arms deals. theguardian.com/world/2024/mar…

These investigative reports on UK-Saudi arms deals and corruption are jaw-dropping. The UK's Ministry of Defence – as recently as 2017 – paid millions to a company later accused by the Serious Fraud Office of facilitating secret payments to Saudis.🧵theguardian.com/world/2024/mar…

Rare to see such incisive, important – and in places just plain funny – observations about UK media in a lecture. Hope senior executives, and not just students, digest some of @garyyounge's messages here. pressgazette.co.uk/diversity/gary…

We've just launched something very dear to my heart on the Guardian's home pages. Alongside 'Most viewed' we are now also showing 'Deeply read' - the pieces Guardian readers are spending time with.

On the cusp of a UK election in which big money donors will no doubt wield real influence, this excellent book by the Guardian investigations correspondent @tomburgis is essential reading. Read today's Guardian extract.

I was fortunate enough to do this back in 2017. A unique opportunity to do journalism in one of America’s best newsrooms. Nothing else quite like it if you’re an early-career British journalist hungry to learn and grow.
