Helios is a touring artwork of the Sun by UK artist Luke Jerram.

Measuring seven metres in diameter, the artwork features 72dpi detailed imagery of the Sun’s surface. At an approximate scale of 1:200 million, each centimetre of the sculpture represents 2000km of the Sun’s surface.
A large image of Helios, taken at Royal Naval College, London, with a QR code and text which reads "Festival of the Spoken Nerd Presents, An Evening of Unnecessary Detail. 5 February 2026. Winchester Cathedral."

The fourth track taken from our UK Top five album Rainy Sunday Afternoon is the wistful tribute to Christmas past called All the Pretty Lights. The video premiere is at 7 pm GMT tonight and the you tube link is in our post. Neil says: "It began with the title (I liked the sound of the words) and a scrap of melody. That title brought to mind my family’s visit to London in the late seventies. To be a seven year old in London at Christmas was like being in Mary Poppins. Utterly magical! These memories are a bit garbled and possibly enhanced with age, but the song is as much about the fallibility of memory as about nostalgia for Christmas past." You can also listen to the track by clicking the smartlink in our post.

EMERGENCY: ISRAEL ATTACKS GSF
Israel has attacked the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters. People of conscience have been abducted.
The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and the Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.

Unarmed people of conscience, abducted in international waters. This is piracy. This is kidnapping.   The flotilla did not break any laws. What is unlawufl is genocide, the deadly blockade of Gaza, the use of starvation as a weapon of war, and the piracy of civilians vessels and abduction of all those on board. Background image - evening, boat in ocean flying Palestinian flag with FFC amd TM logos. Text: We will never stop challenging Israel's illegal blockade - a siege weaponized to starve, silence, and imprison Palestinians.  Stand with us to break the siege and hold governments and institutions accountable for enabling Israel's crimes.

Edited photos of Banksy’s most recent mural at the Royal Courts of Justice, before it was partly removed, are circulating online.

They show a person holding a St George’s or Union Jack flag, but in the actual mural the person was holding a placard: fullfact.org/culture-and-...
Photos supposedly showing street artist Banksy’s most recent mural outside the Royal Courts of Justice have been edited to include the St George’s and Union Jack flags.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

A widely shared video claims to show a large number of asylum seekers on a Dover beach.

But the footage isn’t from Dover. It appears to have been filmed on a popular beach in Goa, India.
Viral video does not show migrants at the beach in Dover – Full Fact
A widely shared clip which contains a voiceover of someone claiming people on a beach are asylum seekers at Dover is misleading.
