IBT will stop posting on X.
The platform no longer aligns with our values. The environment is toxic and we do not believe it is a space where charities can be heard.

Tomorrow is the King’s Speech. @SophiePow_ll from @christianaid wants to see the Government make a clear commitment to a different approach to development, based on strong partnerships with the Global South
"If change was the theme of the election that took Labour into government, urgency is the measure by which it will need to govern."
With the King's Speech tomorrow, @SophiePow_ll of @christian_aid shares what she hopes to see from the new government 👇

What a pleasure to attend this year’s One World Media Awards celebrating the best journalism, telling important global stories #OWMAward24 @onewm
One award stood out for me, the press freedom award, won by @MediaBilan Somalia’s only all-women newsroom. Congratulations to them and all the award winners

Documentaries can highlight neglected issues and have real impact. @UnreportedWorld is @Channel4 at its best
Earlier this month, we hosted a screening of the @UnreportedWorld film, Haiti: Pregnant and On the Run at Channel 4.
NGOs and filmmakers can work together to create powerful stories, writes @ayeshaaleem from @onewm.

Sudan urgently needs the world’s attention
#Sudan is rapidly becoming the world’s worst humanitarian crisis but few people in the UK are aware of the situation. As @ARanchod from IBT member @CAFOD writes in our new opinion piece, this must change.

Always a great listen but this episode with @dorotheabyrne is especially good bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001y9…
You have some great presenters on #bbcwato especially Sarah Montague and Jonny Dymond. They are firm and authoritative but have a lightness of touch. Please tell today’s presenter to relax and stop shouting
A fantastic piece of visual journalism. On a bad day the queue of aid trucks waiting to enter Gaza can stretch back up to 50km. Grim, shocking and incomprehensible. How can the world stand back and allow this to happen?
Thousands of tonnes of food is stuck on Gaza’s border while its population nears famine.
Our latest visual story explains why it is so hard to deliver and distribute aid in the war-torn enclave

Deborah Adesina and @socialmedia4D recently published research looking at images used in charity advertising. The research raises important issues for charities working in international development.
We invited Deborah Adesina to reflect on her findings

📽️20 Days in Mariupol won the Oscar for Best Documentary last night. The film takes an unflinching inside look at the suffering that Russia's invasion has unleashed upon the Ukrainian people.
You can stream it on Channel 4 #IBTRecommends

How the AI app ClothOff is being used by teenagers to create deep fake naked images of their classmates. Superb investigation by @safimichael and colleagues @guardian theguardian.com/news/audio/2…
Is a Lord a man or woman or both? I was surprised to discover that The Lord Bishop of Newcastle is a woman, Helen-Ann Macleod Hartley, currently speaking in the Media bill debate in the Lords. Surely time to change the title??
It will take decades to clear all the land mines that the Russians have laid in Ukraine. This is yet another devastating cost of the war.
As the conflict in Ukraine enters its third year, it’s clear that landmines have become one of the main weapons of war. Ukraine looks set to become the most mined country in the world.
@MAGsaveslives is trying to clear the mines.
