Mo Salah: Never Give Up The story of Mo Salah’s unlikely rise to global stardom - how the Liverpool icon defied the odds and never gave up on his challenging journey to the top.

Just as the noise around Mo Salah grows louder, this BBC documentary is a timely reminder of the humility, discipline & humanity behind the headlines - for how quickly people forget! #TheEgyptianKing 👑https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m002p54c

Prime Minister Keir Starmer will fight any attempt to replace him, friends say Friends of the PM are worried his job might be under threat, perhaps as soon as after the Budget in a fortnight.

“Opinion polls suggest, Sir Keir is deeply unpopular, perhaps even the most unpopular British prime minister, in the history of modern opinion polling.” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

UK suspends Israel trade talks and summons ambassador over 'intolerable' Gaza offensive Foreign Secretary David Lammy says Israel's war in Gaza is entering a

Keir Starmer says the UK is “horrified by the escalation from Israel.” Not sure why now — it’s been 19 months — tens of thousands of Gazans killed and injured and more still missing under the rubble. The UK government finally waking up?

Emily Maitlis’s Saudi minibreak: I was told not to go ‘full burqa’ When the presenter booked a trip to Jeddah, she wondered if she’d done the right thing. Has the brutal, repressive kingdom really turned into a holiday hotspot?

A completely pointless and patronising article, full of Orientalist undertones — I can’t help but feel the author just wanted to show off her wardrobe! “Emily Maitlis’s Saudi minibreak: I was told not to go ‘full burqa’”

“Starmer is to take UK overseas aid to its lowest level as a percentage of national income since records began … a complete reversal of Labour manifesto pledges and its historical commitment to helping the world’s poorest.”

BBC pulls Gaza film as it carries out checks over Hamas links The broadcaster has removed the documentary from its streaming service while it carries out "further due diligence".

Real shame #BBC succumbed to “noise” created around this incredibly powerful & insightful documentary — the film is critical of Hamas. This seems like intentional blackout so people don’t know the atrocities in #Gaza. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The most breathtaking sight I’ve captured so far this year—
a dance of shadows and light.
