    If there is one piece of mine I would like you to read it is this. My interview with Mohammed Halalo, an IT contractor for the European Commission whose mother, siblings, nieces, and nephews were killed in their home in Al-Shati refugee camp in Gaza:

    This is like a lesson in how to facilitate older people while honouring who they are. What a class act by @ladygaga with legend Liza Minnelli. The conferred whispers of "I gotcha" "I know" picked up by the mikes make it especially touching.

    Why is a Native American lacrosse team tweeting as Gaeilge? Ireland has pulled out of the International World Games to give their space to the Iroquois Nationals, who represent the people who invented the game, and to whom it is sacred

    A journalist has been killed covering riots in Derry. Her name was Lyra McKee. She was 29. She recently signed a two-book deal with Faber, who called her a "rising star of investigative journalism". This is her last tweet, sent from the scene of the unrest.

    There is deep concern among EU institutions and capitals that by appearing to sanction Israel's expected invasion of Gaza, von der Leyen has squandered the EU's credibility - including on Ukraine. She had no mandate to visit Israel from the member states.
    European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen: her approach has caused deepening unease within European institutions and in national capitals as Israel undertakes what the Taoiseach has described as “collective punishment” against the people of Gaza, cutting off water, food and electricity.

    As von der Leyen visits Israel, is the European Commission overstretching its powers?

    The World Health Organisation has described what it found in Al Shifa hospital, after it led a dangerous mission to reach it. Among the patients still unable to evacuate are "32 babies in extremely critical condition" I don't think history will forget this emro.who.int/media/news/who…
