“Let me die” Horrifying but essential viewing Israeli settlers attack Palestinians and Washington Post journalist Heidi Levine. Thank goodness colleague Jasper Nathaniel & Palestinian men got her to safety. This is daily life for so many in the West Bank

Masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers on Friday, setting olive groves on fire and slinging rocks. Caught in the attack was Post photographer Heidi Levine. “They just kept kicking me and kicking me, like probably 50 times,” Levine said. wapo.st/4yt6dHY

This is clearly unsettling for anyone who is British Pakistani, British Muslim British Nigerian, Black or Brown. But to also suggest beheading King Charles shows a level of hatred and xenophobia that will shock those who connect patriotism and their Britishness with Reform

HRCP cautions the federal government and Parliament that declaring an emergency or imposing governor’s rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa risks further deepening political tensions and undermining democratic processes. We strongly urge the federal government and the PTI to resume a meaningful political dialogue immediately and ensure that citizens' fundamental rights are not suspended under any pretext.

Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari imposed a state of emergency in the northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province ruled by jailed former PM Imran Khan's party, the president's office said on Sunday. 🔴 More on aljazeera.com

And it get’s worse. My cousin Shahrez’s 2 children of 4 and 6 years old are now missing. There is no limit to their cruelty. Complete disregard for humanity.

UPDATE: Imran Khan’s family now say police have raided homes linked to former Prime Minister’s other sisters after detaining his sister Aleema Khan. Sisters - Dr Uzma Khan and Noreen Khanum, Aleema’s sons and ImranKhan’s niece Sakina have reportedly been “taken away”.

Police remain outside Aleema Khan’s home, where Imran Khan’s two other sisters and members of our legal team are present. Moreover, Noreen Khan’s daughter and son-in-law have been taken into custody near the family home. The authorities must release them immediately. There can be no restriction on liberty or movement without due process. Arbitrary detention of family members cannot be allowed to become a means of pressure or a norm.

My mother, Aleema Khan, was abducted after leaving home this morning. Our family has had no contact or news of her whereabouts. She is on bail in all cases against her in Lahore. We demand the government immediately disclose her whereabouts and ensure her safe return. @Aleema_KhanPK

Imran Khan’s sister Aleema Khan arrested once again in Pakistan. His party PTI says it’s times to coincide with planned protests in capital Islamabad

Children in Gaza City gathered among the debris to watch cartoons projected onto a screen. The mobile cinema initiative run by ‘Little Wings’ aims to reach as many displaced children as possible.

“The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.“

In a difficult and dangerous world, a decade on from Brexit, there is a risk that Britain loses the confidence to lead and stand up for its values. I’m not prepared to let that happen. It is more important than ever that Britain stands for something. We have called for years for a two-state solution in the Middle East, but we must recognise that those words are meaningless unless we back them up with action. For too long, we have been hesitant to act, fearful of being accused of being anti-Israel. Today we are announcing carefully judged, targeted steps that are not aimed at the Israeli people, but at the unacceptable policies of the current Israeli government. The suffering of the Palestinian people is a scar on the conscience of the world. Innocent Palestinians, including children, continue to be killed in Gaza. And there is still a humanitarian crisis, with far too little aid getting in. The scale of destruction is hard to comprehend. More than 70,000 people lie dead - at least 20,000 of them children. Families and communities have been torn apart. Millions displaced. And the population of Gaza is now penned into just one third of the territory. I know that people across the UK feel very deeply about this issue - and so do I. Before I became Prime Minister, I said our country’s response had been too slow and simply not good enough. That’s why I committed to changing the government’s approach. I will not stand by as the horrific suffering continues to grow and the prospect of a two-state solution - the best hope for peace and stability in the region - comes under attack. More settlements have been approved under the four years of this Israeli government than in the previous 20 years. The UN has reported more than 1,500 incidents of settler violence so far this year, aimed at driving out Palestinians. And the situation is growing worse, fast. The Israeli government has now approved 104 new settlements since it took office in December 2022, and ahead of the October elections in Israel, it is allowing tenders for the construction of the E1 mega settlement to go ahead. This would cut a swathe through the heart of the West Bank - snuffing out the hope of realising a two-state solution. It cannot be allowed to happen. That’s why we are announcing a new package of tough measures to put pressure on the Israeli government: First, we will ban the trade in goods with illegal settlements in Palestine. Second, we have formally changed the view of the British government to say for the first time that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory is unlawful - independent of, but in line with, the conclusion of the international court of justice. And third, we will sanction individuals and companies that support, facilitate or profit from illegal settlements. That includes any businesses or investors that take part in the construction of the E1 settlement. In addition, we are announcing a new package of desperately needed humanitarian aid to Gaza. We are taking these steps because it is the right thing to do. I have condemned the monstrous terrorist attack on Israel on 7 October 2023 in the strongest possible terms - and continue to condemn Hamas. However, it does not justify the Israeli government’s actions in Gaza or the West Bank. The measures we are taking are about targeting illegal settlements and increasing the pressure on the Israeli government to change course. We are not imposing sanctions on Israel as a whole, which would punish the Israeli people, many of whom disagree with their government’s position. The Israeli people are not responsible for the actions of their government. And nor is the Jewish community in the UK. Blaming British Jews for the actions of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is wrong, plain and simple. And it is antisemitism, plain and simple. I met the representatives of the Jewish community just last week. I know the fear they live with day by day. My government will stop at nothing to ensure they are safe and to stamp out antisemitism in every part of our society. The measures we are announcing today are about protecting the only solution that could see the Israeli and Palestinian people living side by side in peace and security - something that people up and down the UK desperately want to see. The government I lead will keep working with our partners around the world to keep that hope alive.

Likely a “direct hit by a U.S. munition and not a ricochet off another target” Reuters Visual Investigation on the likely US strike on a wedding in Kuhestak, #Iran via @ntabrizy

🚨 BREAKING: Nigel Farage & Reform exposed 🚨 We went undercover for a year to investigate illicit foreign donations. To watch the full 35-minute investigation follow link in bio.

NEW: An explosion that ripped through a wedding celebration in southern Iran on Tuesday, killing four people (including 2 minors) and injuring at least 68 others, likely resulted from a direct hit by a U.S. munition and not a ricochet off another target, according to an analysis by weapons experts who reviewed images and video verified by Reuters. I spoke with 4 munitions analysts who agreed that the strike on the wedding gathering was a direct hit. Three experts said it was unlikely that a misfired Iranian missile had destroyed the home. Thank you to @Easybakeovensz, @bastischutte & Gareth Collett for your insights. I also spoke with @haalvsh and @balochistanhrdn to confirm local accounts of what happened the evening of September 1. Many thanks to my hamvatans who spoke with us, despite the continued systematic state intimidation on people speaking with media. Great team effort with Edward Carron, @idreesali114, Emily Giles, all of @ReutersWitness & @SarahCahlan reuters.com/investigations/d…
