BBC's Arabic radio service in Lebanon closed after 85 years as part of a £28.5m savings drive. 'Just months later, in October 2023, the Russian state-owned Sputnik news agency took over the frequency. Its news bulletin opened with “This is Moscow”, replacing the previous “This is London” intro.' 🙄

Marco Rubio's speech was essentially a dogwhistling message of "we can be friends and allies, but only if you join us in our supremacist aims."

So what are the figures in Wales, not England and Wales? Meaningless.
Danny Shaw (ex BBC): ‘BREAKING The number of homicides in England and Wales has fallen to 499 - the lowest level for decades.

From Oct 24 -Sep 25 there were also falls in knife crime and gun crimes, recorded by police.

But shop theft rose to a new record high, 519,381 offences. Source: ONS’

We've seen and heard how artists & musicians can help the fightback across tyranny in recent days again through Glass, Springsteen and Bragg and more.

This brilliant song by Karine Polwart from 2018 needs and deserves to be re-heard and played:
