Jeremy Bowen really is an outstanding broadcaster. He's a reminder that public service broadcasting can be objective and impartial without needing to be balanced - indeed that balance makes objectivity impossible. I imagine they'll get rid of him soon.

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance".
It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder".
The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

ICE killed a member of our community today. ICE showed up at my kid’s daycare today. ICE is bragging about the number of families they’ve torn apart in a matter of days, and promising that their campaign of terror isn’t done.

Trump Blurts Out Dark Truth About Venezuela Plan—and About MAGA Voters
To some critics, it’s about plunder. To others, it’s about hemispheric hegemony. Actually, it’s about both.

In 2026, we can’t take the easy path by giving in to despair. We have to keep doing something to be ready for the moment the right combination of events align and we can see a better future.

Toretsk. Another ghost town in Donbas.
Once a living city.
Now — ruins.
The war has brought the most terrible destruction of European cities since World War II.
Not as history, but as a present reality.
Toretsk no longer exists.
And it is not alone.

Eighty years after World War II, “Never again” sounds more like a slogan than a warning.
Russia’s war against Ukraine has resurrected the very logic of total war the world swore to bury - bombed cities, terrorized civilians, and appeasement dressed as diplomacy.
