Wow. BBC journalists are now not even allowed to report the censored line from my Reith Lecture, that Trump is “the most openly corrupt president in American history.”
You can hear how carefully they’re forced to tiptoe around it. So chilling...

So why should BBC be exempted from the same Freedom of Expression protections AND duties afforded and placed on academia? If Bregman is qualified to comment, we should hear if broadcast.
Surely it’s what VP Vance called for in Munich?

@bbcpm.bsky.social briefing on drone warfare reminded me of Nazi Germany proving military capabilities during Spanish civil war. Is there a parallel process in Ukraine, which could see Putin’s Russia emerge with superior military capabilities? A briefing from a historian?

Saudi Arabia and France to lead UN push for recognising Palestinian statehood
Two countries open three-day conference at United Nations with goal as part of peaceful settlement to end war in Gaza
Saudi Arabia and France have opened a three-day conference at the United Nations with the goal of recognising Palestinian statehood as part of a peaceful settlement to end the war in Gaza.

#CPSummit25 problem for data sharing: those who might have a use for data are not same as those who could provide useful data? So unless you identify value exchange/incentivise/monetise data sharing, then public goods through open data sharing are undersupplied.
