Speaking to Times Radio after his Labour conference speech, the PM promised to introduce the service ‘as soon as possible’, but economists say taxes will have to go up

If you have a telescope, you might be a bit annoyed that there is a full Moon tomorrow, because tomorrow also sees Neptune at opposition. Opposition is when Earth, the Sun, and that planet lie on a single straight line, so the planet, in this case the distant Neptune, is at its brightest and closest. <span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span><span class="fr-mk" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span> Neptune will continue to be bright for a while, however, so you still have time to see it at a later date. And if you are pointing your telescope at the sky, you might as well look for galaxy NGC 7331 and the supernova currently near its center as well. When it comes to opposition, you have a better chance with Saturn. It will be at opposition next Saturday, October 4. It is already plenty visible, but it will get brighter, and the moon will be in its waning quarter so it won't compete as much as the full moon tomorrow. Also, there's no need for a telescope to see the "Lord of the Rings," you can...

Amnesty International’s new landmark 1000+page report exposes how the Iranian authorities committed crimes against humanity to crush the 2022 Woman Life Freedom uprising and identifies 87 officials who should be criminally investigated. We call for urgent international criminal justice to end impunity for repeated mass protest killings in Iran.

Leaked documents and testimony reveal extent of regime’s crackdown in 2022 and how it paved the way for more brutal killings of protesters this year Iranian security forces “coordinated” the killing, torture and sexual abuse of hundreds of people who took part in the women-led nationwide protests in September 2022, according to leaked state documents and interviews.

Commemorating the life of Jina Mahsa Amini. Iranian culture has more than three millennia of tradition commemorating lost ones. Therefore we mark four years since the state killing of Jina Amini ignited one of the most significant of a long series of uprisings for equality, freedom and human dignity in Iran. While the Islamic Republic responded with live ammunition, chemical attacks on schools, imprisonment, intimidation and propaganda, the people’s determination to break free from their tyranny has only grown stronger.
