4 h. ago In Gaza I saw the suffering of children and the heroism of health workers trying to save them | Thienminh Dinh

If our leaders allow this massacre to pass without consequence or condemnation, it will reveal a disturbing truth about what the world is willing to acceptGet our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcastHeroism is no longer an abstract concept to me – it looks like Ali, who once spotted a quadcopter circling Al-Aqsa hospital in central Gaza, where he’d dropped me off less than an hour earlier.

A film called Trump: Moscow’s Man in the White House would hit like a juggernaut. That film would be an authoritative, definitive hammer blow, confirming beyond doubt what many have suspected for years: that Donald Trump is either working with or an unwitting puppet of Putin’s Russia. This film would represent a clean punch landed. It would reverberate around the world.Dispatches: Trump: Moscow’s Man in the White House? is on Channel 4 Continue reading...
