Misinformation. This video is from SYRIA yesterday, when Assad and Russian forces attacked civilian homes in the city of Ariha in the Idlib countryside. This is the original video: x.com/fared_alhor/st…
I am amazed that even Mary's sensible and thoughtful reflections on Kenneth Clark's 'Civilisation' can be caught up in a culture war spat. I daresay Clark would have seen it as a sign of impending barbarism. But fwiw, here's some more thoughts from me. 🧵

#TelAviv tonight: Tens of thousands of anti-govt protesters are once again on the streets calling for the immediate ousting of @netanyahu and his inept, corrupt, and messianic clan. #GazaWar
Economic inactivity - what's happening, why does it matter & what should we do about it? Insightful discussion @DAaronovitch @tonywilsonIES @SamanthaWindett @TorstenBell . New Pivotal report on economic inactivity in Northern Ireland coming out on 1 May bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Some US states now reporting mammal to mammal transmission of H5N1 avian flu. Not good. @DAaronovitch and guests asked how worried we should be about avian flu in this episode of The Briefing Room (Feb 2023) - bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
You could make a better case that British politics is remaking itself but that it’s the Tory party which is broken and that Frost has very much helped to break it

Fascinating new @TheIFS paper finds that the closure of 70% of police stations in London was not cost effective and led to higher crime levels, with particularly negative impacts on the poor ifs.org.uk/sites/default/…
So much misleading stuff has been posted here regarding the position of the ICJ on the charges of Israeli genocide in Gaza, this is a necessary corrective: bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

Below is the (genuine) worry. Hoping that #RezaRasaei #AbbasDeris & #MojahedKourkour - brave Iranian protesters at imminent risk of execution at the hands of the brutal Islamic regime in Iran - are names you will not see trending in the coming days for the wrong reasons ⬇️

“Could you imagine trying to appeal to 59 million first-time voters?” In The News Meeting Live, @DAaronovitch pitched the Indian elections as the story that should lead the news. Listen: lnk.to/9plyBk
POTUS has no official role in the 1/6 count. When a candidate pressures/threatens the President of the Senate (Pence), pressures and lobbies state legislatures & members of Congress, and oversees a fraudulent elector scheme, his acts are private. And plotting to appoint an AG in…
Are Britain's missing workers really a problem? @DAaronovitch explores the reasons why millions of people in the UK are neither working nor looking for work - and what we can do about it. 🎧 The Briefing Room on @BBCSounds. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
The irony of this complaint is that some leading campaigners have no trouble at all in describing people who don't hold their views exactly on Gaza as "complicit in genocide", creating an even more obviously dangerous situation for them. Maybe both sides should stop.

#Breaking: Toomaj Salehi, a rapper known for his vocal support of the Woman Life Freedom movement & Index's arts award winner in 2023, has been sentenced to death in Iran. To face a death sentence for singing about human rights is the most grotesque affront to justice #FreeToomaj

A great read.

@cydney0071 @DAaronovitch @ThePrizeForce No, but safe passage *directly* undermines the traffickers' business model in ways punitive barriers do not. Rwanda feeds their business model, the odds are in their favour and can be improved by increasing the rate of crossings. Treating them like good faith actors is silly.
@caitlinmoran @DAaronovitch @KirstieMAllsopp No intention to diss anyone.
Sorry I don't like Falter's stunt, don't like it at all. That's irrespective of how I feel towards the marches and whether or not a great many Jews have good reason to feel fear and intimidation and thus are actively swerving city centres at weekends etc.
@DAaronovitch @KirstieMAllsopp As is the duty of all sisters, mine pointed out "It's because he pulls the same faces as you in photos"
There's a bit in James Graham's This House which is a kind of montage / medley type thing of all the MPs the 74 Labour govt lost for mad reasons, mainly either dying or faking their own death. The 2019 version would be so insane no one could possibly believe it.
Blue Lights is so good. Best UK police thing in forever.
@DAaronovitch 'Geopolitical Analyst at the Budapest based Center for Fundamental Rights' A decent salary, of course. Plenty shops in Budapest, mainly through Corvinus, funded by Fidesz/Kremlin. That twat Furedi's popup MCC Brussels is one, currently doling out to Spikedist types here.
31 today. You brought joy to the world.
@DAaronovitch Absolutely right - Braverman, Farage and co should be seen very clearly to be sharing platforms with fascists, anti-democrats and other fans of Putinism. Don't give them a cancel culture narrative. Expose them for what they are.
@DAaronovitch @MattChorley @BBCr4today @MrHarryCole Ray Winstone with Lord Charles and you've got yourself a show.
@DAaronovitch @NiSibeal I'm at episode 6 and it's been really good. I've no idea where it's going, though. The motor boat scene is quite something.
The National Museum cannot be allowed to close. The Welsh Government faces a number of difficult choices due to Sunak/Hunt’s austerity cuts. The Museum management is adopting the time-honoured tactic of flagging closure to provoke reaction. But a solution must be found.
Desperately sad news. Museums are treasure houses of objects and knowledge, founts of inspiration for future generations, places of wonder - and research. Places that invite us to see ourselves in a deep, wide context. Our society and culture is impoverished if we lose them.…
Some extraordinary intellectual contortions on display this morning. A good example below.
Give Slate's advice column will hand out 'go to therapy' or diagnosis of trauma like confetti, is it too much to ask that they can recognise the dictionary definition of a red flag, too? slate.com/human-interest…
@mrianleslie On a personal level, this Eastasia stuff is infuriating, but on an anthropological level it’s wildly interesting to see people rewrite history in real time. And now that the elite cues are changing, it will trickle down. We’ve always been cautious! We didn’t no platform!
