The fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has expired, and hopes for a second phase are fading fast.
With hostages still held in Gaza and political tensions rising in Israel, is renewed war now inevitable?

Why did Anora sweep the board at the Oscars last night?
@stephena1984.bsky.social says its honest portrayal of sex work might be the answer: "For much of Anora's first half, the women primarily talk about their shifts, the rota and their plans for retirement."

@chloehadj.bsky.social first called me about this story back in early 2024. As she laid the details over the phone I was astounded: a 14-year-old boy had a 'relationship' with his 27-year-old female teacher but no one wanted to see him as a victim of sexual abuse.
Gareth spent years believing he was a lucky boy.
He was the 14-year-old who got the attention of the attractive young science teacher.
In our latest series series, @chloehadj.bsky.social asks who gets to be a perpetrator and a victim.

Since Donald Trump’s inauguration in January, the news cycle has been non-stop.
One question that our editors keep asking on The News Meeting podcast is: does this story really matter, or is it just another case of The White House throwing out distractions while journalists scramble to chase them?
