Mayors will get new powers over how water companies are run under new “regional water councils”.

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed’s response on Gaza and Palestinians’ right to exist was a masterclass in clarity, conviction and humanity. So powerful, so comprehensive, it seemingly left the 60 Minutes interviewer speechless. This is what moral clarity looks like!
