A lucky cat, a tattered football: The things Gazans kept close during two years of war - BBC News The BBC speaks to Palestinians about the things - from the sentimental to the seemingly mundane - they have held close throughout the war

This is so poignant, quite painful to read

Great photos

Screen tests (so to speak). I saw these torn window screens in the stairwell of a parking garage in Avignon and thought they might make for an interesting series. #photography #blackandwhite #fujifilm #France #windows

The snail farmer of London, his mafia friends, and a £20m vendetta against the taxman Terry Ball runs elaborate mollusc-based tax avoidance schemes that are costing London councils millions of pounds. Yet when London Centric tracks him down, an even stranger story emerges.

I think this is the weirdest story I've ever reported. www.londoncentric.media/p/terry-ball...

I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.

Shot towards the North over the gently rolling countryside of South Suffolk. To the left of centre a bright yellow, tracked tractor with a seed drill trundles across a stubble filled field. To it's right in the mid distance the parish Church of Clare (Suffolk's smallest town) stands high above the trees, immediately to it's right the ruins of Clare Castle on top of it's Motte pokes above the trees. The Church (St. Peter and St.Paul's dates back to 1307 although it is likely there was an older building on the site), the castle dates back to at least 1090 (it is known to be built upon an earlier Anglo Saxon settlement) and the motte is 30m (100ft) tall, the keep was built on top of that).

Morning All !

The wild flower beds have out on a late show with the Marigolds looking fantastic with the odd splash of pink from the Cosmos.

A metallic green Rose Chafer is sitting on a brown vertical branch of a willow. There’s a red branche and then another brown branch below it. A blurry grey rail is in the vertical lower half of the picture in the background, the upper part are blurry leaves that are indirectly illuminated by the sunlight. One day I was cleaning outside when I saw this little guy had fallen into my bin, fighting for its little precious life. I carefully fished it out & put it on my willow to dry and recover.

America is now one big bet on AI It’s seen as the magic fix for every threat to the US economy

‘The hundreds of billions of dollars companies are investing in AI now account for an astonishing 40 per cent share of US GDP growth this year… Outside of the AI plays, even European stock markets have been outperforming the US this decade’

This yarn starts with tax dodging office blocks and becomes a wild rural crime multi-hyphenate boasting about his international mafia-linked career from Ribchester and yet my main takeaway is that snails are lowlifes www.londoncentric.media/p/terry-ball...

Water bills: millions of households in England could face even bigger rises CMA poised to give verdict after appeal by five firms for permission to increase bills higher than allowed by Ofwat

England households could bigger water bills as the competition regulator prepares to give verdict on industry appeal.

36% rise already approved by OFWAT.

People will continue to be robbed. Companies raise capital from customers, shareholders get returns.

End the scam. Nationalise water.

For obvious news reasons - Burnham, terrorism - I’ve not written about the reform councils elsewhere for a few weeks. But the general vibe is “we can’t rule out CT rises”.

The narrative, ie blame govt, is therefore already being established.

It’s true (central govt £ DOES dictate this), but 1/

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.
