Bolsonaro convicted by Brazil Supreme Court

NEW: We got access to Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo inbox — more than 18,000 emails. It shows Epstein’s world in his own words: an unfiltered look at how his operation worked, who enabled it, and how Ghislaine Maxwell stayed at the center of it all.

This is infuriating. What is the point of a Marine Protected Area if trawlers are allowed to keep ploughing it? Yet again, the government has succumbed to commercial lobbying. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

My wife shared this with me and I’m tellin you… it’s worth the read.

1. This is something I've been saying for 25 years, but it's hard to get many people to listen. What counts is not the new energy sources you add, but the old ones you retire. Unfortunately it's politically easier to build renewables than to shutter fossil fuels.🧵 www.forbes.com/sites/rrapie...

Motherfucking wind farms…

It really is remarkable that we have an opportunity to avert climate disaster and it is also the smart economic choice. That hasn't always been the case. Now it is. Lower energy costs, lower health costs and huge averted climate damages. And yet still, we let the greedheads win.

Important reporting from Gaza:

Here's the sitting president of the United States endorsing ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Shocking, predictable, avoidable. "testimonies from doctors, relief workers and Gazans this week make it clear that a worst-case scenario is finally unfolding: Nearly one in three people are going multiple days without eating" washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

You won't find more beautiful batteries than you will in Victoria, Australia! Neighbourhood batteries are great because they act as an extra buffer, allowing much more rooftop solar to connect to the local distribution grid without bothering grid operations at the transmission level.

Composting food waste can reduce methane emissions. Easy to do. Proven technology. Really cheap. “When finished eating, people tend to just toss what’s left: out of sight, out of mind,” Dou said. “But from the resource and environmental perspective, what happens after actually matters a lot.”

This is all you need to know about the current situation with Iran.

Just waking up in Europe? Overnight, the US bombed three nuclear sites in Iran, drawing America into another war in the Middle East. Follow our live blog for the latest updates: www.ft.com/content/72d8...

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

A good move. Don’t hang around.

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

It's the middle of the night in Tehran. Trump leaves the G7 summit, has his National Security Team sit in the situation room to brief him. He tweets that 10 million people in Iran need to evacuate immediately, and this was just a vibe he had. I just...

The military parade for Trump’s birthday was supposed to be a media spectacle, but the news is overwhelmingly assassination of Minnesota lawmakers, Israel-Iran war, and No Kings protests. Which, ironically, are all things he, to varying degrees, caused.

It’s not important who wins or loses, it’s how god damn hilarious this is.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Thousands in Manitoba, Canada ordered to evacuate due to wildfire emergency www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Blaten, the village that was destroyed yesterday by the Birch Glacier, is about 20km from the separate Aletsch Glacier, where I reported this story last year about widespread reluctance to vote for parties trying to do anything about climate change. economist.com/europe/2024/...

This should be the final nail in the coffin for Thames Water. It needs to be turned into a public benefit company and Ofwat needs to be scrapped and replaced with a real regulator with teeth. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Wake-up call… Lincolnshire has suffered some of the worst flooding in its history in recent years Lincolnshire’s newly elected Reform council has abolished the flooding committee This is who they are Please wake up to this. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Israel allowing “a few trucks of food to enter Gaza” isn’t a U-turn. It’s a tactic to get people to stop saying you’ve completely shut down aid from coming in. Aid groups have said Gaza needs at least 500 trucks a day.

This is happening right now. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Tories in fourth place shows they risk simply becoming irrelevant, going the way of the French Republicans (as I wrote last week). www.newstatesman.com/politics/con...

This is bleak reading

1. It’s worth recalling the four nuclear red lines that were articulated by the head of Pakistan’s nuclear forces in 2002 (see below). In theory, Indian forces didn’t breach any of them last week. Whatever damage was done, it certainly wasn’t a “large part” of Pakistan’s air or ground forces.

Eyes down, Conclave watchers! A few facts for your scorecards: - Shortest Conclave: 1503, three hours or so. - Longest Conclave: 1268, three years or so. - Last Conclave to elect someone from outside: 1378, Urban VI. - Last Pope to exhume his predecessor and put them on trial: Stephen VI, 897.

The open fighting between India and Pakistan looks as bad as it's been in a long long time. India claiming to have hit nine targets inside Pakistan, Pakistan claiming to have downed two jets and hit an airbase. Every possibility things get worse from here.

Morning Bluesky. Fiasco in Germany when Friedrich Merz failed to get the 316 votes necessary in a secret ballot to become Chancellor. It’s the first time it’s happened and at this stage it’s not known who withdrew support,

Yes, Spain’s blackout may have revealed some of the growing pains of grids in this age of renewables. Growing pains are not the same, though, as the obvious failure of the old fossil-centric energy regime that gave us global warming. Grid issues can be fixed, burning earth’s carbon sinks can’t.

Exciting times in the Australian election. Looks like Coalition (Conservative) leader Peter Dutton might not hold his seat. Echoes of Canada.

Copying Reform on immigration while cutting money from OAPs and the disabled has been a disaster Surely, now, Labour must change course www.theneweuropean.co.uk/james-ball-n...

We know Reform are winning lots of seats, but look at this under the bonnet - they dominate 2nd places too - in wards Labour, Tories, Lib Dems & Greens won Reform was most likely to have come 2nd in all of them. Thinking today *must* be a high water mark for Reform is a mistake as more ground to go

Labour's base-punching strategy reminds of the Seinfeld episode where George is so obsessed with making Jerry's girlfriend like him (she clearly hates him) that he neglects his own girlfriend (who does like him) and she leaves him

There is a difference between saying ‘power grids need to be adjusted and upgraded to unlock the full advantages of cleaner and more cost efficient renewable energy’ and ‘net zero caused the blackout!’. The former is instructive, the latter is fossil propaganda.

Even if you find cricket massively irritating, I would recommend you watch the highlights of Vaibhav Suryavanshi's innings in the IPL yesterday (after a 15 second advert). Smashing international bowlers around the park, breaking records. HE JUST TURNED FOURTEEN. www.skysports.com/cricket/vide...

Arne Slot starting a 'Jurgen Klopp' chant in his victory speech. Absolute boss.

This is still very clearly the climate story of the week, and possibly the year.

The FBI just arrested a sitting judge.

This is wild: Trump is offering visits to the White House to people who invest in his bullshit crypto scheme. It is pay-for-influence in the most naked possible way. Just because the corruption is out in the open and unhidden doesn't mean it's not corruption.

Trump folding on multiple fronts as the US economy collapses. He says: * he now has no plans to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell * he’s not going to play hard with China - “We’ll be very nice with China.” * Tariffs on China won’t be 145%, but won’t be zero either. Total Loser game.
