Scenes of Israeli settlers destroying Palestinian olive groves in the West Bank, which are one of the most important sources of livelihood for Palestinians and a symbol of their steadfastness on the land.

One reason plastic pellets are so harmful to wildlife is they're the size + shape of fish eggs - staple food for many birds + fish, which eat them by mistake. They're absorbent + soak up pollution from seawater, which gets into the creatures who eat them: share.google/qnCCxkanuFLzZR…

An Emirati newscaster from Sky News Arabia travelled to Al-Fashir, Sudan, and was filmed getting chummy with RSF officer Shiraz Khalid, the same woman who had urged RSF militiamen to rape the women of Al-Fashir. themalteseherald.com/2025/11/10/sky…

“It’s a concerted, full frontal assault on the BBC for what was absolutely an editorial mistake.” The BBC’s “political and commercial enemies” are using the doctoring of Trump’s speech to undermine the institution, says @StevenJBarnett. @DarrylMorris | #TimesRadio

If the BBC are so left wing why did they fire all their guns at Corbyn from the minute he won the Labour leadership? They had Jess Phillips, Streeting and Margaret Hodge on speed dial. It was relentless. Camped on his doorstep for almost 5 years. Left wing my backside.

Earlier today, RSF militia and the SPLM–Al-Hilu faction launched a drone strike on Um Barmbita in South Kordofan, destroying Hujair Um Barmbita Primary School. No confirmed reports yet on civilian casualties. #KeepEyesOnSudan

With millions in public money handed to private interests and serious questions over transparency and accountability, why hasn’t there been an inquiry into the goings-on on Teesside? Watch the full episode of Page 94, the Private Eye podcast, on YouTube.

سيف الدرعي Image above is a livestock watering point erroneously tagged on Google earth by people online. Humanitarian Research Lab (HRL) at YSPH had no part in that incorrect analysis. Below is HRL’s analysis of house to house killing by RSF in which objects consistent with bodies are seen. x.com/hrl_yalesph/st…

if everything is so hunky dory in El Fasher, UAE and RSF should be fine taking the following steps today: 1. Allow UN in, 2. Give global media free movement, 3. Let ICC forensic teams go to key locations, and 4. Grant unfettered access to prisoners for ICRC #keepeyesonsudan

Curious about the sword the butcher Fateh Abdullah Idris aka "Abu Lulu" is posing with. Hadendowa swords have long been made from vehicle leaf suspension bars - bendy steel that AFAIK doesn't take a sharp edge. (Not like the Toledo steel of the sword of Menelik I also have here.)

Sudan 🇸🇩: SAF soldiers in the besieged town of Babanusa (W Kordofan) report to have repelled a major RSF assault on their position. RSF channels have been stating for days now that after the fall of El Fasher, Babanusa will be the next target.

Nyala Airport in Sudan’s South Darfur 🇸🇩, has been confirmed struck in what appears to be a large-scale airstrike. Recent satellite imagery shows four major burn scars, two beside the runway & two near the tarmac, with multiple direct hits observed on both the runway and tarmac.

IOM says 90,000 civilians have fled El Fasher since its fall. If we assume there are still 60,000 missing then approximately 100,000 might remain in the city, either dead or alive, we dont know. abcnews.go.com/International/…
