Don't think I've seen this in previous years - an annual round up of #archaeology on the BBC website!
Good to see ' #treasure ' not being centre stage for once.
...also interesting to note that cash value is only mentioned in relation to the #detecting finds.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.
Praying for his full & speedy recovery.
And so deeply inspired by his example.

The lesson from France is clear: the left has to work together at the next general election to stop fascism and prevent Nigel Farage from getting the keys to Number 10.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Just in case you ever wondered what the alcohol requirements were for a 1909 Irish wake: 3 gallons whiskey, 2 cases stout, 3 bottles wine, 3 bottles brandy! The receipt was sent to the U.S. government from Liscahane, #Cork for reimbursement as it related to the death of a pensioned Civil War sailor!

Govt are introducing a new programme that will cost hundreds of millions of pounds that wasn't in the manifesto, that will clearly make no difference to immigration. In a democracy, we should be able to scrutinise these decisions and how our money is spent. That's not being fearful.

Not sea glass but fragments of plastic car tail lights, indicators and brake lights, probably washed into storm drains after heavy rain, eventually making their way to the sea. #oceanplastic
