Neda is twelve now, and, because she is a girl in Afghanistan, in her second year without being allowed to go to school. She learns on her own through an old phone.

Walked from Firzrovia to Millbank and from Millbank to Leicester Square between 12 and 3 today. Some traffic jams, no gridlock

This is quite something ! Serbian RTV channel starts yesterday's bulletin by apologizing to viewers👇
"For years, we failed to fulfill our duty. We kept silent, turned a blind eye, reported events one-sidedly and failed to ask necessary questions. We owe our viewers an apology”

It's fucking crazy that an investigation exposing how Jared Kushner laundered billions if dollars through Azerbaijan, including payments to a warlord, a mercenary, and a hitman, isn't getting more attention.

Lula’s victory will be greeted with horror in Silicon Valley. Outside the EU, Brazil has been the biggest holders to account of US tech firms. And Facebook’s actions before the election deserve proper scrutiny

Trump just called Obama’s crowd size small. 🤣
This is the video he doesn’t want you to see. Get this everywhere!
Still absorbing the utter brilliance of this movie. Beautifully acted, scripted ,and filmed, it lives as hauntingly in the present as it does in the past. Deserves all the prizes

Over 500,000 people marched in France last weekend. The vast majority were unmasked and white. They were protesting against the cost of living and poor public services. Don't fall for the rightwing spin.

Before Google’s arrival a few months ago, an estimated 250,000 trees occupied the 330 hectares (815 acres) of forest near Muhos in rural northern Finland. Now they are all gone, the tech company illegally stripped the entire area to build a datacentre

Shocking and dangerous

So Kemi Badenoch wants to pay for new prison cells by cutting £1bn from culture, media and sport?
That means youth clubs, leisure centres, sports pitches, arts projects and music venues, places that give young people somewhere to go and learn teamwork and self discipline, all of that: gone.
That’s not tough on crime, that’s building a pipeline into the very prisons you're promising! And this from a party that added fewer than 500 prison places in a decade, and left communities like mine fighting to keep leisure centres open in the first place.
Disgraceful.
Thank you to @susannahclapp for a mention of this on @BBCFrontRow. It's a a real thrill to see Lydia Lopokova back in the spot light courtesy of @mrJamesGraham 's tremendously witty, clever and moving play, Standard of Living
Hard agree with this lovely review
