I just travelled with the family back home to Jerusalem after 5 weeks in the UK.
It was a bit of an eye-opener.
Deserted airports, #COVIDー19 tests, the seeming impossibility of social-distancing on planes, the awkward conversations...
Some reflections and 📸 in this *thread*
An empty @HeathrowAirport T4 is unnervingly eerie. Just two flights on the departure board; all shops shuttered; the departure hall (a third of a mile long) deserted. A global economy on pause... in pictures.
Since these images were taken a couple of days ago, Terminal 4 has shut completely. It should host 9.4 million passengers a year. T3 is also closed.

🎥🇹🇷🇬🇷 Video emerges of migrants being shot, injured & in one case killed on Turkish/Greek border.
The video is graphic.
The Turkish governor says the shots were fired by Greek border guards. 6 injured - 3 in legs/feet, 1 in groin, 1 in leg, 1 in chest - he later died.
This is the statement from the Turkish authorities - the governor of Edirne. It details the injuries. The Greek authorities have, at times of tweet, not responded to the allegations.
This is a translation of the Turkish statement. Contacts of mine say they have spoken to people who were at the scene this morning. I was not there myself. Turkish news agency have also filmed this footage from the border where live rounds are audible dha.com.tr/yurt/sinira-go…

🎥 In NE Syria, the Turkish-Russian creation of ‘safe zone’ having defeating effect.

2hrs ago @SkyNews watched Russian/Turk convoy pass through a village; pelted w/ stones. Military responded w/ tear gas. 1 villager run over by vehicle as he tried to climb onto it. He later died
In every village they pass through the Turkish military are pelted with rocks.

In some villages the locals put rocks across the road to slow down the convoy.

In the incident we witnessed, the military responsed with tear gas at close range.
Turkey/Russia claim they are creating a safe zone along this border region.

Turkey also wants to remove what it considered to be ‘terrorists’ from the area - the Kurdish fighters who have been *helping* the US/UK fight ISIS.
