We have woken up to the news that our colleagues in Afghanistan are being further isolated

To our friends in the Shamsi Dalghai in Kabul: we hope to be reunited soon. We are committed to you and your struggle for education and freedom - your work with us is safe and is held in trust by us for you

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

It is 22 years ago today that my best friend, Nick Everton, died. He was 17 years old. Not much time to leave a mark on the world you would think.
But those of us who knew him came away irreversibly altered by even the short time we shared together....

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

The only thing that matters is the will of the majority. That will is now focussed on deterring Russian aggression. That starts in Ukraine. The appetite to over-engineer solutions to constantly get around Orban's vetoes is rapidly diminishing. He'd be wise to tread carefully ENDS

With all the calls from the US for Zelenskyy to be replaced or step down, Ukrainians are now starting to worry about their president's safety. Zelenskyy is a legitimately elected president with a 65%+ approval rating in Ukraine. Remember, Russia had tried to assassinate him many times since 2022
