Tonight Channel 4 News, as Iran and Israel face off, I'm reporting on another conflict threatening to destabilise the region further: #Sudan . Iran is reportedly arming one side, the UAE the other. Humanitarian aid pledged in Paris today is welcome, but peace is the only answer.

Iran misfired: a swarm of drones and missiles that was, it turns out, easily shot down. Israel allies incl. Arabs united after increasing Israeli isolation over Gaza. Israel once claiming it’s the victim. Iran the aggressor, but with capped teeth. Will/can US hold Israel back?

next moves now depend on what Iranians are targeting and if they hit. Could precipitate wider war tonight.

by retaliating on this apparent scale Iran has fallen into the trap set for it by Netanyahu. V dangerous moment for the Middle East. US and UK jets help to intercept drones. Netanyahu and Iran have changed narrative. For how long?

Starvation. The unacceptable face of Israel’s war on Gaza.

A doctor from an international aid agency took these pictures 10th April at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.

The desperate parents gave permission to publish these.

Astonishing testimony from former prisoners, families and campaigners about the state of HMP Wandsworth . The question is: what will - or won’t - be done about it?

Hi British Airways. You held us 5 hours on BA260 on Sat.a.m. in 30 Cel. heat. No air. Then offload us, no info. You schedule a Sun. flight, then Monday. 48 hrs to fix a “minor issue”? No comms- a policeman @ airport told me Sun.flight off. Appalling service. Now a joke airline.

NATO’s 75th … a Foreign Ministers’ meeting … and what needs to happen next

An extraordinary piece in Israel's +972 Magazine reporting on the use by Israeli forces of deeply flawed AI processes to choose targets in Gaza and then destroy them with dumb bombs that pretty much guaranteed enormous numbers of civilian casualties.

Watch this clip.

“I spoke to an Israeli reserve officer, who was in the same unit as those soldiers who shot those hostages. I remember him telling me that the orders are basically, from the commanders on the ground, just shoot every man of fighting age” twitter.com/AC360/status/1…

Israeli govt spokesmen keep repeating the claim -even today- that no army has ever used so much care and precision to avoid civilian casualties”. On that…
