⚡️Armenia refuses to hand over Georgian Georgi Kinoyan, who fought for Ukraine, to Russia.

Authorities ruled that extraditing the man would put his life in danger, local activist Giorgi Tumasyan said. Rights groups now push to free another Georgian, Vano Sabashvili.

Peace means more than a ceasefire.

It means freedom from military occupation and apartheid.

It means Palestinians deciding their own future — not war criminals like Tony Blair.

As Israel’s bombs still fall on Gaza, Palestinians celebrate a ceasefire — a testament to their unbreakable spirit.

But peace means more than a ceasefire.

It means freedom from military occupation and apartheid.

It means Palestinians deciding their own future — not war criminals like Tony Blair.

We will keep marching, boycotting, divesting and speaking out until Palestine is free — and until those who enabled this genocide are held accountable for their crimes 🇵🇸

I hate to say "in fairness to Margaret Thatcher", BUT as far back as 1989 she (a trained scientist) gave this warning to the UN General Assembly...

Just extraordinary to witness this nature-hating government sabotaging Labour’s own legacy. And for absolutely no reason: nature protection isn’t blocking development - it’s a necessary prerequisite for it (& for everything else, come to that…)

Plans to weaken protections for national parks will have ‘disastrous consequences’ say green groups

The first phase of the Gaza ceasefire deal was signed by Israel and Hamas in Egypt earlier today.

The ceasefire will begin within 24 hours of Israeli cabinet approval, which meets in 15 minutes.
