Massive massive explosions in Odesa city center just after 1am Thursday / 11pm GMT Wednesday. Some Russian drones have evaded robust defenses. The city has suffered an extremely severe attack. Water has stopped flowing, meaning a hit on critical infrastructure #Ukraine

Ukraine’s closest allies - incl UK 🇬🇧 Canada 🇨🇦 & France 🇫🇷 - block @NATO proposal to triple military aid to Ukraine 🇺🇦 “This is the West being weak-kneed…This sends a bad signal to Russia. Rather than tightening the noose, they’re loosening it,” I told BBC World
Russia has attacked Ukraine with over 550 strike drones of various types - many targeting western part of country, including the historic center of Lviv. I lived right next to this beautiful cathedral for the first months of the war, always feeling protected
As Russia launches its biggest aerial assault of the war - deploying a nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile & striking at the heart of Kyiv - UK, France, Canada and other key NATO allies quietly killed a plan to triple military aid to Ukraine. A clip from my live interview on @cnn.com
Several injured in the southern #Ukraine port city of Odesa after a Russian attack levelled a multi storey apartment building. A kindergarten was also hit, injuring at least 10 people, including a 10-year-old - officials
#BREAKING Southern Ukraine port city of Odesa being massively attacked tonight. Drones and missiles - including port area and city centre. Several loud explosions
Two wars. One connector: Iran. From the Strait of Hormuz to Odesa -I’ve just covered both in under 48 hours. Iran fights in one theatre, fuels another. Ditto for Russia Overnight strikes in Ukraine prove it.
3 weeks ago, I stood in the desert on the shores of the Strait of Hormuz, peering into Iran. Today, I’m looking in from the other side - at the Armenia border with Iran - trying to understand what life looks like for those crossing after weeks of war, pressure and uncertainty.
Donald Trump announces a conditional two-week ceasefire with Iran — hinging on reopening the Strait of Hormuz. My hot take from the region, plus why #Turkey may be the quiet winner in this crisis.
Ukraine is strong. Ukrainians are brave. But resilience is not infinite. In Odesa, I see businesses closing, people leaving, and growing fatigue after five years of war. Even bamboo snaps if bent too far. The world must stop confusing courage with endless capacity. #Ukraine
Donald Trump calls the Ukraine Russia war “a stupid war.” Says ending it is “very high” on his priorities list. Cites the “tremendous hatred” between presidents Zelensky and Putin as a barrier #Ukraine #IranWar
Bahar from Iran explained why she came to disrupt a pro-Palestine protest. She spoke on the oppression of her people, seeing the US attack as a rescue mission, and the lack of internet access in Iran. She also denies Israel’s occupation in Palestine

Climate change is creating a hotter, more dangerous world. In Australia, heatwaves kill more people than all other climate-fuelled disasters combined. We must address the cause - climate pollution from burning coal, oil & gas - to keep us all safer from the impacts of our rapidly warming world.
Trump does want to make something more affordable… golf. Not healthcare. Not gas prices. Not groceries.

People aren’t mad at robots. They’re mad that robots expose how low the standard has become. Robots don’t complain. They don’t get emotional. They don’t stall. They execute. This isn’t a robot problem. It’s a work ethic problem. Tune in: https://youtube.com/live/-QzBH1nqa8w?feature=share

Have you ever been hungry, I mean, really hungry. I have. And can't imagine actually starving. As a parent, I can't imagine watching your child starving...to death I also think about the horrors in Sudan & Haiti. One difference in Gaza, is my country is explicitly complicit in sustained war crimes
I just voted to stop Trump from dragging us into a full blown war with Venezuela.
Iran has completely rejected the Trump administration’s demand to transfer its enriched uranium stockpile out of the country, one of Washington’s central conditions in ongoing negotiations. But I’m sure Trump will make some kind of announcement just before the markets open on Monday.

Q: Why do so many on the Christian right seem obsessed with James Talarico? Journalist: The kind of Christianity he’s espousing is a threat to the cultural monopoly that the GOP wants to project over Christianity.
Trump says no federal funds for NYC if Mamdani wins, but he’s wiring $40 billion to Argentina. That’s not America First. That’s Extortion Abroad. He’s starving blue states while showering foreign allies in cash, punishing voters at home to buy loyalty overseas.

Mahlzeit 🖖☕️ Heute ist "Internationaler Tag des Akkordions". Hatte als Kind mal eins, weil der Musiklehrer damals kostenlose Akkordeon-Stunden angeboten hat. Aber ich hörte dann irgendwann auf, weil mein Musikgeschmack eher Richtung Punk ging. Mit 'ner Buddel Rum schaffe ich es vielleicht noch.
