Watched this live last night. @BobbyKGreen’s raw reaction to the execution of Navid Afkari in Iran was incredibly moving and his ending the interview at that point the appropriate response.
For those who may not watch UFC, Bobby Green is a real one. Here’s another clip.
RIP Navid. Image

This is huge. BBC ignored a request from its Global News division that it walk back its claim that Anas Al-Sharif worked for a "Hamas media team." novaramedia.com/2025/09/10/bbc…
Here is the content of the email that was ignored. Image
What I'm reading from this is that the BBC Arabic correspondent wasn't trusted in the way that its Jerusalem bureau was, which judging by where the claim first appeared and how it was bylined, reported it.

This Banksy, which appeared overnight on the side of the Royal Courts of Justice building in London, is extremely powerful. Image
Also, the timing, the placement. It's perfect.
And, as someone pointed out in the comments, the excellent photos circulating are from his own Instagram.

Mariam Dagga, killed by Israel today, was an incredibly talented photographer. She relentlessly and courageously documented the genocide. I'm going to share some of her images. Graphic content included. Image

This isn't a thread about the genocide in Gaza.

It's a thread about a likely genocide somewhere else: Ethiopia. But please don't scroll on and ignore it. This story deserves amplification.
There was a war in Ethiopia's Tigray region from 2020 - 2022. It was one of the most egregiously under-reported conflicts in modern history. Yes, there was a comms blackout. Yes, access was difficult. But I think racism also played a part. Just another African war. Who cares?
A new report now says that the brutal sexual violence carried out against women and (often extremely young) girls by Ethiopian and Eritrean troops may amount to genocide. The evidence is horribly compelling.

Personal news: I've decided to leave my job as Deputy Editor-in-Chief at the Thomson Reuters Foundation to go independent. It's a scary move but I want to concentrate on amplifying under-reported stories.
I'm planning a few projects but first step will be to relaunch my newsletter Proximities. It summarises three non-Western news stories a day and you can read it in under two mins. Monday - Friday it's completely free. There will also be a paid tier with a bonus Saturday edition.

Al Jazeera's @YoumnaElSayed17 live on air from Gaza as an Israeli missile hits what appears to be a high-rise residential/office tower. Her reporting has been outstanding today.
Per AP: "The 14-story Palestine Tower is home to dozens of families."
Per Al Jazeera: Media offices also located in building.
