It is extraordinary how quickly so many of the West's most fundamental rights -- the right to protest, freedom of speech, the rules-based international order, and now, basic international law -- have been torn up and exposed as shams in order to support Israeli aggression.

Reform's newly announced Shadow Cabinet is 100% privately educated. Britain has not had a 100% privately educated Cabinet since 1955.

Three years ago, Lydia Gard discovered freediving — a sport where athletes dive as deep as they can on one breath. In our new investigation, Deep Water, we uncover rumours of doping and rivalries that shook the sport. Listen to the trailer now: lnk.to/lEuDdV

#BREAKING United Nations investigators said Tuesday they had determined that Israel has since October 2023 committed "genocide" in Gaza, with the "intent to destroy the Palestinians" in the territory. "We came to the conclusion that genocide is occurring in Gaza and is continuing to occur, and the responsibility lies with the State of Israel"
