A mega-dam has triggered a big dispute between Egypt & Ethiopia over access to the Nile’s water resources.

For Ethiopia it promises much-needed electricity; for Egypt, the fear of a devastating water crisis.

Could a dam kill the River Nile? aje.io/3qvhq
The mega-dam is touted as a green source of electricity, but they can leave a trail of environmental damage and water insecurity.

We analyse the impact of large dams on the Nile as the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) nears completion aje.io/3qvhq
For the 280 million people from 11 countries who live along the banks of the Nile, it symbolises life.

The Nile Delta produces ~50% of Egypt's agricultural produce, but scientists warn the dam's disruption of its ecosystem could cause irreversible damage aje.io/3qvhq

Having researched pandemic disease and its governance for my book with @ShaharHameiri, I'm usually v sceptical of hysteria around pandemic disease. Here's a thread on the Chinese #CoronaVirusOutbreak. 1/18
books.google.com/books/about/Go…
Pandemic viruses often originate in animals. They are dangerous to us when they become "zoonotic" - they mutate to cross the species barrier between animals and humans. Scientists think #CoronaVirus may originate in snakes/ bats. Others came from bats, civets, chickens, etc. 2/18
Real danger is when a virus mutates further to enable human-to-human transmission. Then it can spread way beyond people in close contact with infected animals. This happened with SARS in 2003 and MERS in early 2010s, but not with other viruses like bird flu and swine flu. 3/18

1/18 With the MSM fear porn push of highlighting 17 deaths I thought it timely to do a dig into #CoronaVirus #SARI #QAnon
2/ Wuhan was once briefly the capital of China, and is located in central China. Cities are beginning to be put in lock down just as #LunarNewYear celebrations see mass movement of people as they return to their country homes... #CoronaVirus #SARI #QAnon
3/ Wuhan has the only lab in China capable of studying the virus, along with SARS, AIDS and Ebola. The lab forms part of China's “One Belt, One Road” initiative... #CoronaVirus #SARI #QAnon

I will not be supporting Jess Phillips to become the next leader of the Labour Party because she campaigns for regulatory models that severely hurt sex workers. She has also shown scant regard or respect for the wishes of those within the sex industry.

#thread
Phillips advocates for the ‘Nordic Model’ of criminalising clients, despite overwhelming evidence that this tactic actually increases levels of violence against sex workers.

The US President himself has often pushed for a catastrophic hard exit, and the documents make clear the interests from the US side: “There would be all to play for in a No Deal situation.”
With an annual budget of £140bn for NHS England alone Britain’s health service provides rich pickings for any Brexit deregulation. One of the key targets is the £20bn medicines budget
