I'm not wild about the title that's been given to this @economist.com podcast: I'd prefer "prepare for the future" than "predict the future". But I greatly enjoyed recording it with the wonderful Rosie Blau, @shashj.bsky.social and @rorygalloway.bsky.social

Gareth Browne was one of the first journalists inside Saidnaya prison

What he found there was truly shocking

He recorded as he walked through the cells with families desperate to find loved ones

Listen to The Intelligence tomorrow to hear Gareth Browne speak about the appalling conditions in Saidnaya prison, and how he became one of the first international journalists inside it
A report from Saidnaya prison by my colleague Gareth Browne. A monument to the depravity of the regime. "Freed prisoners were still filing out of the building, gaunt & haggard, their heads shaved. Some were so traumatised that they had forgotten their own names." www.economist.com/middle-east-...

Louis Pasteur would be horrified at this current trend. If you want to drink it and risk dying, I am all for reducing the population, but I beg of you... please don't give it to your kids.

I went on @economist.com's podcast, The Intelligence, to talk about the quiet re-emergence of iodine deficiency. Luckily, we know how to solve it! A few highlights: 🧵

Some exciting news from @economist.com. All American service members—all 1.3m active duty, and those retired—now have free access to The Economist's website, thanks to a deal with DoD. If I'm not mistaken, you can access it through DoD's library pages: www.dodmwrlibraries.org. Happy reading.

The Intelligence dives into the bill that could put Britain on the path to legalising assisted dying tomorrow morning

@georgiabanjo.bsky.social has reported from a trip to Australia where a similar bill has already passed

@economist.com
People should have the right to choose the manner of their death. Britain’s Parliament must not squander a rare chance to enrich fundamental liberties by voting against a law allowing assisted dying econ.st/490xBC0
