One of the most powerful documentaries on how this war is fought. 14 hours at a Ukr zero line position. At one point, during a Russian assault, a soldier tells the presenter he should kill himself if the Russians enter - via @United24media via @APUkraine youtu.be/cgJFPJ64aR0?si=UPs0…

A blank space on today’s WSJ A1 where Evan Gershkovich’s reporting should be, one year after his arrest on patently false charges. Russia should free him now

#RDC #FreeStanis : Cela fait trois mois que notre collègue @StanysBujakera est détenu sur la base d’accusations qui ont été démenties par les plus grandes sociétés tech au monde. Trois mois qu’il inspire par son courage des journalistes, des activistes et même des dessinateurs

Very sad to hear that Abdoulaye Massalatchi, a giant of the press corps in #Niger, has died. A @Reuters stringer for nearly three decades, Abdoulaye was a consummate professional, an unflappable and deeply knowledgeable reporting colleague. He will be missed.

This weekend Alsu and I are marking 21 years together. She should be celebrating this anniversary at home with me and our children, not in a Russian prison cell. Alsu is not a criminal. We want her back. #FreeAlsu Read more about Alsu's unjust detention: pressroom.rferl.org/a/rfe-rl…

#DRC: Two long months since @StanysBujakera was maliciously detained. We firmly stand in solidarity with him & demand his immediate and unconditional release. Accusations against him are baseless. We will not back down until justice is served. #FreeStanis bit.ly/3Mwgkqc

RSF investigation concludes that Issam Abdallah, a Reuters journalist who was killed on the Lebanon-Israel border, was "deliberately targeted" along with colleagues from Al Jazeera and AFP. RSF says two strikes, just 37 - 38 seconds apart, came from direction of Israeli border.
🔴 RSF releases the findings of its investigation into the death of @Reuters reporter Issam Abdallah in Lebanon, on the border with Israel: even though Abdallah and his colleagues were clearly identifiable as journalists, their vehicle was deliberately targeted. 👇

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has had a devastating impact on lives, homes and land. A new report captures another fallout - its climate impact. The first year of the war will trigger a net increase of the equivalent greenhouse gas emissions of Belgium. reuters.com/world/accounting…
