An environmental catastrophe is unfolding right now in Russia, where 20,000 tons of oil has spilled in to the Arctic, turning rivers red and poisoning the land.
It is one of the worst spills in history.
"We've never seen anything like this in the Arctic."

The financial reality is starting to bite.
Saudi clubs have paid roughly $2 billion in transfer fees since summer 2023, comparable to the Spanish league in the same period — despite generating a fraction of the revenue.

'It’s unclear why the kingdom has blocked access. BeIN, the Qatar-owned network, hasn’t been available in Saudi Arabia since the tournament began last month. Its streaming service, TOD, is also inaccessible inside Saudi Arabia.'

Politicians run most of the sugar mills in the state of Maharashtra.
That’s why they deny or downplay evidence of coerced hysterectomies, debt bondage and child labor in the fields.
Searing new investigation from @meghara and @nytimes.

My latest for @NewYorker. Four Saudi princesses were kept drugged and imprisoned for almost two decades after challenging the regime. A Texan doctor who tried to free them speaks out about the life-threatening brutality they faced. newyorker.com/news/a-reporte…

In 2021, Kanye West paid $57.3 million for a beach house, in Malibu, designed by the heralded architect Tadao Ando. He then disembowelled its interior. Was Ye desecrating a masterpiece, or testing the limits of radical design? nyer.cm/58tdHUl

In January, #Houthis sentenced 32 men to prison, death by stoning/crucifixion, and/or to flogging on dubious charges of "sodomy." This is one of many cases of Houthis charging people with immoral acts as a cover for their brutality + lack of due process.

Women are sterilised and children are married off in support of India's brutal sugar cane industry.
It is a system that Coke and Pepsi profit from.
That system is precisely unravelled, and beautifully humanised, in this must-read investigation.

I have arrived in Saudi Arabia to continue our regular dialogue with His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The first topic is the Peace Formula. Last year in Jeddah, we held an effective advisors' meeting to discuss its implementation. We are now nearing the first Peace Summit and rely on Saudi Arabia's ongoing active support.
The second topic is the return of POWs and deportees. The Kingdom's leadership has already contributed to the release of our people. I am confident that this meeting will also yield results.
We will also discuss promising areas of economic cooperation and Saudi Arabia's involvement in Ukraine's reconstruction.
