The Ukrainian army is on a roll – they are taking advantage of Russia's faltering military, and now they have the city of Kherson in their sights. Watch Sky's @alexrossiSKY 's report 👇

@mehdirhasan Conflating Trump, Islam, 911 and choosing to have, or not have a vaccine is seriously lazy. It’s a touchstone of medical ethics that one should be able to exercise choice when it comes to what you have, or don’t have done to you. History shows the alternative is horrific.

At the moment hard to see beyond the horror but remember #Hamas has an intellectual framework with clear goals. After this it knows there will be no return. this is a bloody invitation for #Israel to take control of the strip. And also shatter normalization across region

After 11 days of fighting a return to the status quo. But all the things that drove hostilities remain in place. A brutal dehumanizing occupation, status of #Jerusalem , no #Palestinian state, settlement expansion, Hamas and its rockets - surely its time for some fresh thinking?
