DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO GET FOOD AND WATER IN TO GAZA. This is from Lemkin Institute begging..... we are all begging.
The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention is
calling on every single leader in the world: DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO GET FOOD &
WATER INTO GAZA RIGHT AWAY. Even if it takes bypassing the reports, meetings, endless conferences, parliamentary sessions, UN sessions, and all the other regular diplomatic
channels that have led nowhere. Just do it. Genocide must not be allowed to continue while we all
watch. We must not allow mass starvation in Gaza.
We cannot wait any longer. IF YOU HAVE POWER, USE IT. HISTORY WILL DEMONSTRATE THE RECTITUDE OF
YOUR ACTIONS.

UK-EU talks ‘down to the wire’ as fishing and youth mobility hold up deal
EU ambassadors told to remain on standby for late-night meeting in scenes reminiscent of Brexit talks Negotiations on a major reset of the UK’s relationship with the European Union have gone “down to the wire”, with fisheries and youth mobility among outstanding sticking points with hours to go before the start of a crucial summit. In scenes reminiscent of the Brexit talks, British officials were still trying to reach a compromise with their EU counterparts overnight, as Keir Starmer prepared to host the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, in London on Monday.
