Pope urges news agencies to stand as bulwark against lies, manipulation and post-truths Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the “ancient art of lying” and manipulation.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

🏥 Dr. Munir Al-Barsh, Director General of Gaza’s Ministry of Health, outlined several urgently needed steps to support the medical needs in Gaza.

“We demand justice, not pity,” he said. “The health sector is devastated and suffering severely after two years of extermination. The world must stand to work with our wounded and hospitals.”:

▪️ “We have a recovery plan prepared with the World Health Organization, and our staff are ready to implement it.”

▪️ 38 hospitals were destroyed, and only 12 remain operational. Fuel, electricity, water, medicines, and surgical supplies are urgently needed.

▪️ “We are in a hurry; time is passing, and people are dying in the streets.”

▪️ Direct supply corridors must be opened, and urgent medical missions — including surgeons, pediatricians, psychiatrists, and physiotherapists — must be sent.

BBC News headline “Phillipson: Universities must tackle antisemitism

I can no longer tell the difference between MAGA, the Tories or Labour/UK govt who manufacture crises & outrage to target organisations they don’t like (PS this includes the NHS).
Meanwhile, universities and the NHS (both gems of the UK) are collapsing on this govt’s watch to enable privatisation.

Delighted to hear Scottish Finance Minister Ivan McKee emphasise his commitment to BDS in Scotland.

He emphasises that we must keep pressure on politicians - it gives them the mandate to proceed with this.

CNN reports Israel will not release Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya as part of the ceasefire deal with Hamas. The eminent pediatrician was detained in Dec. during Israel’s raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital, after he refused to abandon patients under siege.

Some errors in this article.
1) ‘military campaign’ —> the UN & multiple international agencies, genocide scholars & human rights lawyers have declared it a genocide.
2) number of deaths is 66,000 (not 63,000), ~80% civilians.

Israel Premier-Tech are finished.

Massive respect to Derek Gee, leaving the team on grounds of conscience, which has come at huge personal cost.

His treatment should be a stark warning to any riders considering signing with this team in the future (TBH I think the team is finished).
