Six months ago I started a (free) monthly substack. My latest post, just published, is a story from the mountains of the Indo-Myanmar border; a border Modi now plans to build a 1021-mile fence along.

We owe it to them: all our female ancestors who were denied that democratic right. Patriarchal forces still attempt to hold us back by pushing apathy, telling us that “politicians are all the same”. They’re not - and you have the right to choose, to vote from the heart, for our future, for all our children - and to make your voice and your vote count.

A few months ago I started a Substack newsletter - a place to write about the things I really want to write about. My latest post, out today, is a meditation on writing, and life. I hope you enjoy it. antoniabolingbrokekent.substack.com/p/why-i-write

75 of the over 36,000 Palestinians killed over the past 8 months in Israel's genocide of Gaza. Humanize them. Their lives were as intricate and important as yours.

Thanks so much @joannalillis, and what a concidence you're in Aktau now. It's pretty eerie being there, and seeing quite how far the sea has receded.

Wonderful evocative report on the shrinking of the Caspian Sea by @AntsBK - I'm just listening from Aktau, after a walk along the shore where what were once beach cafes are now 100 metres from the sea #Kazakhstan bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Superb reporting by @sommervilletv, about Myanmar, on @BBCRadio4's From Our Own Correspondent just now. My story about the Caspian Sea on in a few minutes.

In my shed, recording a story for this Saturday's episode of From Our Own Correspondent. Hopefully listeners won't be able to hear the male blackbird that likes to sing the Game of Thrones theme tune from a hazel tree outside my door.

Last month I travelled to Kazakhstan to find out why the Caspian Sea is shrinking at unprecedented speed. To hear the full story, have a listen to today's episode of Crossing Continents, The Caspian Crisis, on @BBCRadio4 at 9pm tonight.

Navalny's wife Yulia at the Munich security conference:
"If it's true, I want Putin, his entourage, Putin's friends and his government to know they will be held responsible for what they have done to our country, my family, and my husband. And that day will come very soon."

Russians in Moscow are lining up to lay flowers in memory of Alexei Navalny at a memorial to Gulag victims outside the FSB headquarters.
Given the extent to which the Kremlin has suppressed all dissent since invading Ukraine, this is a not insignificant crowd.

Rewilding is hope! Landscape scale habitat restoration in Scotland. Move sheep off some of our uplands and repurpose land wasted on shooting grouse.
