This is incomprehensible, my heart goes out to her family especially her children, it doesn’t have to be this way, please Kenyan government & athletics Kenya come to the aid of our female athletes, many are being abused because of their success every day 😡 💔
TRAGIC NEWS 💔 Ugandan athlete Rebecca Cheptegei passed away around 5.30am. Rebecca is a victim of domestic violence, she was set on fire by her boyfriend ( 75% of her body had burns). She is second Ugandan athlete to die in Kenya. And another female athlete dies in GBV. RIP RC

I mean this does genuinely vindicate the original story. The knee jerk reaction to dismiss Sun journalism from many quarters does a disservice to a lot of the hugely talented reporters (and legal team of course) who bring these important stories to light.

We'd like to thank Jonny Bairstow for reminding everyone about the dangers of stepping over the crease before you're given the green light. Check out our road safety tips ➡ police.vic.gov.au/road-safet… then tag a grumpy Englishman (we'll go first @metpoliceuk)

On World Refugee Day, I'm sharing my humble journey from seeking safety to becoming a doctor: . 1999 - forced to leave family in Afghanistan to seek safety in UK aged 15 having lived childhood in war and camps . 2001 - started college (A-levels) with not much formal education or command of English . 2003 - got admitted to study medicine at @Cambridge_Uni despite many discouraging, saying I wasn't white and not educated enough . 2006 - graduated from Cambridge and finished studies at Harvard and Imperial despite battling PTSD and loneliness . 2010 - qualified as a doctor, and have since been proudly serving people in the NHS and 🌎 as a doctor. If there’s one thing I’ve learnt on this journey, it’s this - refugees are not victims. We are survivors, dreamers, contributors. The bravery of all those who seek safety should be celebrated.

This is a must read: Total water demand will start to exceed supply in England no later than 2034. In south-east England, the average annual rainfall lingers about 600 mm – comparable with Kenya & drier than Sydney. London only has 90 days of water storage at any one time 💧

He has lost his sister in today's attack at Kaaj educational center in Dasht-e Barchi, west of Kabul. The only thing his sister left to him is her bag; a bag of books, pens, notebooks, destroyed dreams, future and life.💔 #Afghanistan #Hazaras #Kaaj #Kabul #Education

Since this incident I have heard from producers, camera crews and engineers about the escalating abuse they face simply for bringing you the news. It is fuelled by lies about our journalism designed to make money and to avoid scrutiny. It is unacceptable in a civilised society. – at Glasgow, Scotland
We deplore the way in which James Cook was treated, and we commend the professional and courteous way in which he conducted himself despite extreme provocation. No journalist - and no worker - should be subjected to this at their place of work.
