Does the UK-US extradition treaty explicitly state that a royal (non-everyday citizen) cannot be extradited? #R4Today

"Doctor" Oz seeks a medical opinion from a major shareholder of a big pharma company. Raising the legs will probably increase the pooling of blood in the brain. That has to be good, right? #R4Today

Jo White, a conservative Labour MP has some ideas about dealing with asylum seekers which don't include considering them as human beings. #R4Today

'As the media theorist Simone Natale has said, these “technologies of illusion” have deep roots in spiritualist traditions. But AI makes them far more convincing, and commercially viable.' #R4Today

UK's sense of division reaches new high as culture war tensions grow, study finds www.kcl.ac.uk/news/uks-sen... #R4Today

Apparently, despite the odd commercial disaster due to avian flu, there will be plenty of turkeys for the British Christmas (according to yesterday's #BBCPM). Also, Trump's "government" has stopped monitoring of avian flu across the US. #R4Today

Not only does the UK government waste vast sums of money on demonising those seeking asylum, now it appears that they are complicit in quite a number needing it in the first place. Choosing to save money over a genocide, again. #r4today www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

“I don’t think anyone doubts that Keir Starmer cares, but if you asked what he felt, or what drives him - it’s hard to know.” Love him or loathe him, Mamdani is unapologetic in his values. Can the same be said for Labour? www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/labo...

Will #R4Today ever look at the possibility that the dozens of police forces who are not the Metropolitan police might also have problems of racism etc. Or not. Wouldn't that be wonderful, and newsworthy?

The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) has today published an independent report by Dr Shereen Daniels, commissioned by the MPS to examine how the organisation has responded to long-standing evidence of racism and discrimination. news.met.police.uk/news/metropo... #R4Today

#Stockport On the last Saturday of this month, step down to the winter wonderland that is The Underbanks (plus bits of Hillgate, Mealhouse Brow and the Marketplace) for a very independent light switch on... music from 5.30, switch on at 6. Late night dancing, snacking, boozing, shopping encouraged.

Elon Musk is not the "eponymous CEO" of Tesla. "Eponymous" has a very precise meaning. #R4Today

#R4Today is talking about the horror of Sudan as if it hadn't ignored the war completely until ten days ago.

Remember this? Why Harris and Democrats keep calling Trump and Vance ‘weird’ apnews.com/article/kama... #R4Today

The Conservatives protest that Labour have recovered only a small fraction of the value of the asylum hotel contracts. And they should know. They signed the contracts. #R4Today

#R4Today will of course tell us how much Elon Musk will earn if Tesla's shares rise by 5% less than the pay deal requires. #R4Today

I am in charge.

Worrying reports of bird flu (avian influenza) are coming in, including an outbreak in Whooper Swans in the Fens. Other waterbirds are also being affected, and cases are rising. 📷 Sick Whooper Swan by Kane Brides #UKBirding #BirdingWales #BirdingScotland

Please also report dead or sick birds to BirdTrack via www.birdtrack.net for monitoring purposes. Please share this message far and wide with friends and birding communities. Thank you.

It's right Andrew Mountbatten Windsor appears before US Congress over his links to Epstein and his victims. He should also give evidence to our Parliament. The public deserve answers and full transparency about this scandal.

Love it.

This would be comical if it wasn't so ridiculous. But it's hardly fair to blame Labour for the calamitous state of prisons after the Tories systematically ran down the system for 14 years.

Tice: Change public-sector pensions from defined benefit to defined contribution systems for new entrants or slide into bankruptcy with huge unfunded pension liabilities. OBR: We estimate that annual payments from the schemes will fall from 1.9% of GDP in 2023-24 to 1.4% of GDP in 2073-74. #BBCPM

What he doesn't buy, his American buddies will shut down. PM Orbán, who is on his way to Washington, has already received his first gift from Trump: the closure of Radio Free Europe in Hungary. The reason? "Undermining staunch allies does not serve the American people." @rferl.org.web.brid.gy

BBC News, on Brahim Kaddour-Cherif: Would you expect the police to have been alerted immediately? Danny Shaw (expert): Of course. If somebody is released in error, nobody will be alerted until the system decides an error has been made. #WATO

Every morning, #R4Today reads out a few bits from the newspapers, and tells us they look at some online sources as well. Quite often, BBC programmes feature commentators from some of these sources. I imagine Sky's good work will always hit the Not Invented Here barrier. #WATO
