An installation at Cathkin has commemorated Palestinian footballers killed by the IDF ahead of the World Cup final. Saleem Khader al-Ashqar, Goalkeeper (aged 32), was shot & killed by the IDF northeast of Khan Younis early this month, bringing the total number of footballers killed to at least 567.

Rupert Lowe can only ever dream of the level of popular support and dignity that Khan has. Unprecedented third-term London Mayor without any help from Musk. While Lowe grubs around in the rancid barrel-scrapings of our politics. Boosted by bots on X into thinking he’s something. He never will be.

Jeez. I'm old enough to remember when #r4today used to describe itself as a "Flagship News Programme"... Now it's "speculate... Speculate, guess".

It's exchanges like this social media was made for.

Climate change is already impacting birds across the UK. Rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns and more frequent extreme weather can shape where species live, how common they are and the timing of breeding and migration. Some of the UK’s most vulnerable birds are already declining.

We urge everyone to follow the advice from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service to avoid affected areas while this large fire is tackled.

Our teams on the ground are fighting a significant wildfire at our Abernethy nature reserve. It has now grown to cover more than 400 hectares of this special place for nature and people.

Helicopter support “urgently needed” to tackle spreading wildfire in Cairngorms National Park, with the blaze now burning through around 300 hectares, says @rspbscotland.bsky.social.

Cairngorm wildfire which broke out yesterday near Ryvoan Bothy has spread to a width of 3.5km, prompting the evacuation of homes and businesses in Rothiemurchus Glenmore, the closure of the C7 ski road and restrictions on the A9.

Huge wildfire just on the boundary of Abernethy Forest. Wind currently taking it towards Glenmore. Cairngorm Mountain resort and Glenmore residents evacuated.

In Toronto yesterday, the sky was orange; overnight, the smoky air captured city lights so that it never quite looked dark above. I ran an air filter overnight in my bedroom and smelled smoke when I left it this morning. No fun at all . . . Maybe this will be bigger "news" when it affects the US.

This looks serious, Ontario folks! Are the #Wildfires being brought under control? #Ontario #Canada #Toronto

I'm a fan of Sangita and her summary of Farage's actions is spot on, a misuse of his power and public funds, a stunt to avoid investigations of corruption and a comedy act against a bin. He has become a laughing stock and while to our right wing press corruption is OK, he is now seen as a loser.
