The Geneva Convention says it’s a war crime to target journalists, even if they work for an enemy organisation. It’s also a war crime to target medical workers. After the killing of 3 Lebanese TV journos last week, several medics coming to help them were killed as well.

“The two senior correspondents were very well known in Lebanon. They now reach more than 20 journalists in Lebanon who have been targeted by Israeli strikes since October 2023.” our @AlexCrawfordSky on the latest from Lebanon

How Reuters captured the photo of former Prince Andrew leaving custody

Slumped in the back seat of his Range Rover, a visibly shaken man once referred to as the "Playboy Prince" stares ahead of him as the car leaves Aylsham police station in Norfolk, England.

Really can’t get over this video of more than a half dozen ICE agents forming a tactical perimeter at a suburban Minnesota Target so their commander can use the bathroom, cosplaying like they’re in Fallujah. What an absurd waste of taxpayer dollars.

I went to see that bridge. It is undamaged and traffic was flowing normally. Thailand has not reported any air strikes in that area. If a Thai plane did drop bombs they did not hit anywhere close to the bridge. But people here very frightened and many IDPs left camp at Srei Snam.

Fighting along the Thailand–Cambodia border has left Thai villages near the frontier badly damaged and largely deserted. Villagers told us they want the conflict to end quickly so they can live and work peacefully. youtu.be/fd-u57NshXQ?si=Zjs2…

To some of us, May 19th still brings back memories and has a special significance. Remembering Ratchaprasong 2010.

Preparations underway for Vesaka Pujā, which in Sri Lanka is celebrated on May 12th this year, unlike countries in Southeast Asia which are observing the day today. The festival marks the Buddha's Enlightenment, birth and passing into parinibbana.
