You state that the 1951 Refugee Convention has been updated many times, not true other than in 1967. It is the 1950 European Human Rights Convention you mean. Mixing the two plays very much into the hands of those wanting to confuse and dissemble. Can you redo the podcast?

OK, I admit she has triggered me this time. What do you think they meant in 1951 when setting out a "well-founded fear of persecution"? BBC News - Anti-gay discrimination not qualification for asylum, says Suella Braverman https://t.co/DuPdPseWv5

Wow! Wow! Wow! North Atlantic sea surface temperature anomalies are going vertical again. And yes, I needed to extend the y-axis. Yesterday's temperature of 24.49°C (76.08°F) was 4.2σ above the 1991-2020 mean. The previous high for July 17 was 23.71°C (74.68°F) in 2020.

Having just returned from Australia, where their #ModernSlavery Act is already being enhanced, not sure we can any longer call the UK's legislation 'world beating', particularly if we are moving away from protecting victims and survivors. @theresa_may @timloughton #Newsnight

It's me in this picture. I'm a Ukrainian writer. I have portraits of great Ukrainian poets on my bag. I look like I should be taking pictures of books, art, and my little son. But I document Russia's war crimes and listen to the sound of shelling, not poems. Why? #StopRussiaNow

Successfully launched #ESAEuclid! Around noon local time, it sent a crucial sign of life back to say: Hello, I am doing fine 👋🏽 out here. It now heads millions of km in space to find its neighbours @nasa_jwst & @ESAGaia. Will take another month of travelling for it to settle.
