This headline could be from today, but it’s 10 years old.

🇬🇧 Today marks a very dark day for fundamental human rights in the UK. Daniel Shaw and his co-defendants have been sentenced to spend 4 & 5 years in a prison cell for planning a peaceful protest. This decision is beyond comprehension. Full statement here: unece.org/sites/default/…

Even if the line between democratic justice and totalitarianism is contested, jailing peaceful protestors for 4/5 years is surely the wrong side of it. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/no-p…

Our prisons are overflowing , yet 5 peaceful protestors have been remanded awaiting sentences for protesting climate breakdown . . . here's a radical idea– stop jailing protestors . They're not the fire , they're raising the alarm ! Thursday @ 4pm Southwark Crown Court

The disproportionality of this election has stretched the idea that we live in a representative democracy to breaking point. This must be the last election under First Past the Post. Take action with @CompassOffice @UnlockDemocracy and @MakeVotesMatter: actionnetwork.org/petitions/join…

Just attending a 3-day workshop on the danger of abrupt ocean circulation changes. Discussions are quite worrying. E.g. in 35 to 45 % of high quality models, convection in the open North Atlantic collapses in the 2030s due to #globalheating. -> Major climate disruption. ☹️

Climate models can’t explain 2023’s huge heat anomaly — we could be in uncharted territory nature.com/articles/d4158…

UK company directors may be liable for climate impacts, say lawyers theguardian.com/environment/20…

Israel kills 152 UNRWA workers in Gaza, the highest death toll among UN staffers ever, the US and UK don’t even blink. The ICJ accuses Israel of committing potential genocide in Gaza, the US and UK respond by cutting funding to the UNRWA organisation, which saves lives in Gaza.

@HeathrowExpress shout out to your manager at Paddington today for being super helpful and efficient in amending a ticket incorrectly booked for the wrong day! Great customer service - thanks

Kids are dying. Some people: * That needs to stop right now. Other people: * Our kids or theirs? * Are there terrorists under them though? * Is it the other side's fault because they're being used as human shields? * Didn't we warn them to leave? * How many, really?

Investment in the UK is chronically low - holding back action to improve productivity, cut regional disparity & achieve #netzero. In this really great report @sarahgor shows how #blendedfinance can help to turn the tide. Take a read here: bit.ly/3rWpPIv

WHO statement on attack on Al Ahli Arab Hospital and reported large-scale casualties WHO strongly condemns the attack on Al Ahli Arab Hospital in the north of the Gaza Strip. The hospital was operational, with patients, health and care givers, and internally displaced people sheltering there. Early reports indicate hundreds of fatalities and injuries. The hospital was one of 20 in the north of the Gaza Strip facing evacuation orders from the Israeli military. The order for evacuation has been impossible to carry out given the current insecurity, critical condition of many patients, and lack of ambulances, staff, health system bed capacity, and alternative shelter for those displaced. WHO calls for the immediate active protection of civilians and health care. Evacuation orders must be reversed. International humanitarian law must be abided by, which means health care must be actively protected and never targeted.
