A demonstration is taking place in Madrid after the death of an 87-year-old woman, whose eviction sparked nationwide protests over the country's housing crisis. The protests led to Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez calling for a snap election. trib.al/STzUtVq 📺 Sky 501

Jesus 😭 So fucking proud to be Irish. A young lad starting off his career. Integrity and solidarity are as beautiful as cowardice is ugly.

"This is what No. 10 North is all about. Putting power in every postcode." New PM Andy Burnham declares today as the "best day of my life", as he opens new No. 10 North and emphasises he wants to get "the whole country facing the same way". trib.al/WDRslIR 📺 Sky 501

Shame on those who use hideous crimes to incite racist violence.

J D Vance should not be in Budapest. He should be in Washington DC organising the US Cabinet to declare Trump unfit to exercise the office of POTUS. This is simply disgraceful and a stain on the United States.

The Geneva Convention says it’s a war crime to target journalists, even if they work for an enemy organisation. It’s also a war crime to target medical workers. After the killing of 3 Lebanese TV journos last week, several medics coming to help them were killed as well.

Just 15 minutes before Donald Trump's Truth Social post about 'talks' with Iran, there was an odd peak of market activity – did some know what he was about to say? Sky's @EdConwaySky reports Live updates: trib.al/MOtUYsz

Doctors are manually operating ventilators in order to keep babies alive in Cuba. The U.S. is laying siege cruelly cut off all fuel, power is out, leaving hospitals without electricity. Dialysis patients, babies in NICU, and others will die. This’s a crime against humanity.

I wish some establishment media types would comment on this exchange. That they haven’t is maybe the biggest tell of all about how the media works.

Havana this morning. There might not be US missiles landing on this city. But the US siege is warfare. Cuba is being destroyed by an intensifying blockade.
Havana, Cuba. The second nationwide blackout less than a week. This is the direct result of the siege - specifically, the US blockading fuel from getting here. A completely intolerable situation for a people to live in.

Before leaving Cuba later today, @jeremycorbyn and I delivered medical aid to Havana’s cancer hospital. The director and health workers shared this message of thanks. This aid comes from the Cuba Vive appeal, which has already raised over £280,000! Support the appeal below.

This is a reckless act of escalation that endangers us all. No discussion. No debate. What a disgrace. How on earth can the Prime Minister still pretend we are not involved? It doesn't matter how he dresses it up. Britain is participating in an illegal war of aggression.

Claire Byrne tells us about how meningitis almost took her life when she was 14 years old. All this week, we have been covering the UK's meningitis outbreak, which is now at 29 cases. Our own Claire Byrne joined Anton Savage this morning to describe her harrowing experience with the lethal infection.

Certainly looks like a naked attempt to assassinate another journalist by the world’s most prolific killer of journalists.
