Israel is assassinating Palestinian journalists. Plain and simple. This should be the front page news story of every damn newspaper around the world.
Nour Odeh 🇵🇸🍉 #FreePalestine@nour_odeh

🚨Samer bled for over 5 hours. He called for help. No one could get to him. 3 first responders died alongside him. He tried to move to safety. An Israeli drone targeted him a 2nd time. Samer was not collateral damage. He was targeted. Israel killed him. Rest in Power dear Samer.

There are different ways to report a story. With words. With pictures. Sometimes I use music. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, I’ve been writing a piece for the piano about what’s happening here. @BBCNews @BBCRadio3 @BBCr4today

Kabul university professor, who ripped up his diplomas on live TV in Afghanistan has been arrested by the Taliban — “if my sister & my mother can’t study, then I DON’T accept this education.” We call for his immediate release! 📣

499 days since the Taliban’s barbaric BAN on girls going to school & 36 days since they BANNED women from going to university. This is a shameful mark on humanity. In the 21st century, when millions of girls are deprived of an education in Afghanistan — the world remains silent.

Today is a tragic day for Arab media as BBC Arabic Radio has broadcast for the last time, after 85 years of service. One of many huge losses following cuts in BBC World Service's budget. في يوم محزن، اخر بث بي بي سي راديو عربي من الكبير محمود المسلمي

“I looked at the pictures of Mr. Putin trying to look for a trace of humanity.” Two decades ago @MrsMThatcher said THE brutal truth about Putin but the West was immensely naive. Very wise words ⬇️

Christmas brought this long-wished for book from @jayavarnam: there's fascinating (& heart-wrenching) eye-witness history, evocative descriptions of Vietnam & Cambodia. And Jon comes across as humane without being saintly or pious, which, in journalism, seems very refreshing.

A girls' school in Iran brought a member of the IRGC-run Basij paramilitary to speak to students. The girls welcomed the speaker by taking off their headscarves & chanting "get lost, Basiji". Teenage girls have been at the forefront of protests for days. twitter.com/1500tasvir/sta…
