This is how to write a lead! A sober reminder of the drug war’s lingering, painful reality. By @_KateLamb theguardian.com/world/2025/sep…

When April 2/3 becomes April Fool's Day. Just sickening. Trump's Reciprocal tariffs hit Southeast Asia countries hard, especially poorer countries. Cambodia (49%), Laos (48%), Myanmar (44%) Vietnam (46%), Indonesia (32%), Malaysia (24%), Philippines (17%) & Singapore (10%)

“Some of the supplies of aid, well most of it, was not given to the people who need it. In some areas in Mandalay the aid did not arrive. The aid was confiscated by the military junta." theguardian.com/world/2025/apr…

Apocalyptic scenes from Mandalay, MM. Only seeing small snippets of what is happening, given minimal internet or electricity. Supplies of food and water running scarce. Lack of machinery or govt support to find people under buildings. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar #MyanmarEarthquake

@bailie_horsley @david_higgo @PaNewsgathering Thank you so much. Let me know how to reach you. Alternatively you can email me at kate.lamb@theguardian.com. Cheers.

@_KateLamb @david_higgo @PaNewsgathering Hi, yes no problem

@bailie_horsley @david_higgo @PaNewsgathering Hi Bailie, Kate Lamb from the Guardian newspaper here. Can I get in touch with you about this?

@david_higgo @PaNewsgathering We’re still in Miami, no idea what’s going on.

“We cannot and should not stay silent. We know what this appointment means. It means more platforms for anti-vaxxers and less funding for vaccines and health programmes,” said Samoa’s director general of health. “It must be treated as a threat to our health security.”

A few months before the outbreak in 2019, RFK travelled to Samoa and met with anti-vaccine figures, contributing to what health experts claim was a ‘significant disinformation campaign’: theguardian.com/world/2024/nov…

@sarah_wu_ @TheEconomist Congratulations Sarah!

Thrilled to be joining @TheEconomist's stellar team as a China correspondent in Beijing. Tips on what to read, who to meet, or where to go in this fascinating country are always welcome: sarahwu@economist.com

This is quite the exchange between the leader and leader-to-be of the world's two most populous presidential democracies . Trump tells Prabowo "your English is so good" and Prabowo replies: "Yes sir, all my training is American."

Rogan, Musk and an emboldened manosphere salute Trump’s win: ‘Let that sink in’ theguardian.com/us-news/2024/n…

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

@BrigidWD Thanks Brigid. Hope to see you soon.

@_KateLamb Congrats Kate
