Poignant analysis by Lord Hague. Whatever you think of John Bolton – he knows Trump, and he knows Putin. And he was targeted for his sharp criticism of the current US approach to Russia. Americans should be able to agree to disagree without fear of retribution:.

The death penalty is bad business for California. Very compelling piece by Matthew Stepka highlighting why Governor Newsom should commute his state’s death sentences:

“California death penalty prosecutions in the last five years alone have led to court costs of more than $300 million.”

(5/5) This #WorldHumanitarianDay sends a strong message that the normalisation of violence against aid workers must end. We must protect the humanitarians who put their lives on the line. And those who attack them must be held to account:

(4/5) The 2024 death toll is a 31% increase from 2023. It is the highest death toll ever recorded, but 2025 could be even worse.

(3/5) Last year alone, 383 humanitarian workers were killed. Many more are injured, kidnapped, or detained - like Eddy Scott, a British volunteer medic I met who was severely wounded after his vehicle was attacked by Russia in Ukraine:

(2/5) Where bombs fall or crises hit, humanitarian workers offer lifelines for millions of people. But those who help are increasingly being killed and injured themselves.

(1/5) The humanitarian response movement is underfunded, overstretched and under attack:

Encouraging to see the UK government plan to bring more Gazan children to the UK for treatment. Immensely proud of Project Pure Hope (which we support through @VirginUnite) for helping to bring more Gazan children to the UK for urgent medical care:

Sudan’s devastating civil war shows what will replace the liberal order: anarchy and greed.

(1/2) The latest round of US tariffs imposed on Brazil is a blatant example of wielding economic power as a blunt instrument to pervert the course of justice. Coupled with sanctions on Brazilian Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes - a direct attack on Brazil’s sovereignty.

Deeply alarming to see a range of human rights abuses (including slavery, human trafficking, child labour and torture) being carried out on a vast scale in Cambodian compounds that organise online scams. Another cruel and unacceptable facet of the scamming world:.
