Drone warfare has opened a chilling new chapter in Sudan. Hospitals, aid convoys, and even nurseries have been struck by evermore lethal and indiscriminate attacks. The UK is pushing for civilians to be protected, and for those attacking them to be held to account.

"The goal is to translate Israel's military achievements into diplomatic achievements, and to create a more stable regional reality.l" Military achievements like genocide in Gaza, occupation of Lebanon, and disastrous region-destabilising war in Iran? What a thing to boost @_LFI
EXCLUSIVE: ‘We’ll bring Israel and the UK back together’ @YairGolan1, leader of Labour's sister party in Israel, @DemocratsIL: "That is why we will work to advance a broad regional initiative that strengthens moderate forces in the region, weakens terrorist organisations and isolates Iran. The goal is to translate Israel’s military achievements into diplomatic achievements, and to create a more stable regional reality. Our long-standing peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan are essential to our national security. The Abraham Accords brought UAE, Bahrain and Morocco into that circle. I see potential for further states to join — in the Gulf, our northern neighbours Syria and Lebanon, and, eventually, Saudi Arabia." jewishnews.co.uk/exclusive-w…

This is the ultimate test for a leader's poker face.
Trump: "You call it United Kingdom, Britain, they call it sometimes England. They go back to the old. It's got more names than any other place in the world."

Why does @BBCWorld insist on calling this a ceasefire?
It’s 5:25 p.m. in Gaza right now. Since this morning, Israel has killed at least four Palestinians. Here is what has been reported: At 8:30 a.m., a Palestinian mother, Feda Totah, 31, was shot and killed on Salah el-Din Street near al-Bureij Camp. At 8:41 a.m., at least two people were injured and a house was set on fire in al-Bureij Camp after Israel shelled it. At 10 a.m., Israel shot a child in the chest in Mawasi Rafah and killed him. His name was Ismaeel al-Bardaweel. At 10:48 a.m., several people were injured when Israeli missile boats shelled a camp for displaced Palestinians in Shati Camp, west of Gaza City. At 11:45 a.m., a young man, Mohsen Bahjat, succumbed to injuries he sustained to the head yesterday in an Israeli attack in Jabalia Camp. At 3 p.m., Israel killed Mosa Abu Marouf in an airstrike in Khan Younis. At 4 p.m., at least two people were shot and injured by Israeli fire in Jabalia.

Wonder if there any audited accounts?
PRESIDENT TRUMP on BOARD OF PEACE: Nearly 30 countries have joined the Board, which I am honored to chair, and we're thankful to many of those member nations for contributing billions and billions of dollars to relief.

Excellent news from @UNICEF colleagues 👇
Some welcomed news out of Gaza. Today, more than 330,000 children across #Gaza are returning to class with the support of UNICEF.   Being among classmates and learning can help restore a sense of childhood and hope.   All children have a right to education and safe schools.

@EdwardJDavey describing what’s happening in Gaza as “a genocide” was the right thing to do. Our party couldn’t remain quiet in the face of what’s happening in Gaza”. Foreign Affairs Spokesperson @CalumMillerLD speaks with passion today about @LibDems policy at the @LibDemConf.

Enjoyed chatting about Britain and Palestine with @KarimMakdisi @UssamaMakdisi @sareemakdisi @MakdisiStreet not least after UK announcement of a settlement ban. Much for @caabu and others to work on but there was a major shift on 8 September m.youtube.com/watch?v=vlBxmX…

What will world without international humanitarian law be like? Two ways to find out. Look at history to see what humans do without restraint. Or look at what is happening to civilians in the atrocities labs where humanitarians serve right now: they’re on frontline of impunity.

Vile attacks. No excuse.
Last night, on the holiest night of the Jewish calendar, a shooting took place outside the Sons of Jacob Synagogue in Belleville.   A police officer was shot and the community has been left shaken.   Jewish people must be able to worship safely. To live free, open, proud Jewish lives. Canada’s government will do everything in our power to support law enforcement in ensuring that the perpetrator is held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.   My thoughts are with the injured officer and his family, and the entire Jewish community.

You should not take a day off being (slightly) tough on tackling war crimes, not least after decades of ignoring or even worse aiding their commission....until Israeli gov stops.
If I’m not allowed to call out the bacon sandwich, can I call out the “proud Jew” posting a video about how he’s tough on Israel on Yom Kippur?

If this happened in Downlng St not a single journalist would attend another briefing until the decision is reversed. And you guys have freedom of speech enshrined in your constitution
The Trump White House has removed CNN from its Monday assignment as the TV pool representative for the entire White House press corps, deepening the dispute that began when the president said he was "banning" CNN, MS NOW and Politico. cnn.it/4hzd4ud

So @grok does Tony Blair have any financial interests with tech firms that deal with AI?
Sir Tony Blair has urged the West not to slow down the pace of AI after Silicon Valley chiefs warned about the existential threat posed by the technology. The former prime minister, a keen advocate of AI, said pausing development risked “profound and compounding disadvantages” for society which were just as serious as the menace posed by highly intelligent bots. 🔗 hhttps://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/09/21/tony-blair-dont-slow-down-on-ai/?WT.mc_id=tmgoff_tw_post_dont-slow-down-on-ai/

French judge Nicolas Gouyou, who issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu at the ICC, says Visa and Mastercard blocked all his cards, leaving him unable to make purchases. He says judges, lawyers, & politicians are being intimidated & treated as criminals.

Barred from deporting asylum seekers back to places they face jail or death, Trump struck 35 secret deals to send people to places which will deport them there instead. - 25,000 people deported - $410 million spent. - UN aid used to sweeten the deals. theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i…

NYT on CROSSING THE RED LINE: “Indispensable… Ahmed doesn’t merely document decisions [by Biden & his aides on Gaza]. He also illuminates the habits of mind that underlay those decisions — habits that will require a political revolution if the Democrats want to uproot them.”
