Channel 4 News’ Matt Frei makes a passionate speech at BAFTA TV Awards demanding access to Gaza for journalists: “We want to report. We want to bear witness.”

Nadhim Zahawi’s SLAPP has now resulted in disciplinary action for his lawyer.

A thread on why it happened, and what it means - for the lawyer, for SLAPPS, and for Zahawi himself.

Belgian TV right before the start of Eurovision:

'We condemn the violations of the Israeli state. Israel is also destroying the freedom of the press. That's why we temporarily interrupt the screen.'

'The eyes and ears for us as the international community of this war in Gaza are local Palestinian journalists,' CPJ's CEO Jodie Ginsberg tells BBC News (UK).

'You have to worry about a country that entirely prevents the outside world from seeing in.'

No international journalists

Malta is being tarnished from Burmarrad and Castille.

#Israel ’s ban on Al Jazeera PR⁩ is unlawful, disproportionate, unjustified attack on #FreedomofExpression , & #MediaFreedom , despicable attempt to block news of #Gaza conflict, depriving Palestinians of their #Right2Info

We condemn #Israel 's decision to ban Al Jazeera English in a bleak moment for press liberty. The ban includes the closure of Al Jazeera's local offices, its website, and TV channel. Independent and critical voices are essential in providing the public with accurate and timely

The British government has been utterly mute. Nothing on Rafah, nothing on the closure of the lifesaving aid entry points ar Rafah and Kerem Shalom, and nothing on the Israeli banning of Al Jazeera 2/ aljazeera.com/news/2024/5/6/…

Prosecutors just filed charges against public officials involved in the privatisation of Malta's hospitals in favour of US company Steward. It announced that it filed for bankruptcy earlier today.

While a prize is no use to a journalist once they’ve been murdered, recognition of their work in the face of such brutality is important for those still alive, to counteract the dehumanising effect of propaganda. Thank you UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳

On the eve of #WPFD2024 , we applaud this long overdue and well deserved recognition of Gaza’s courageous journalists, who have paid a high price for their vital contribution to press freedom under constant bombardment by Israeli forces - precisely the reason for RSF’s nomination.

UK parliamentarians demand government takes action against the forcible evictions of Palestinians, & demolitions of their homes, in letter to David Cameron. All visited Silwan & Sheikh Jarrah in occupied East Jerusalem on Caabu delegations.

The triumvirate.

Mostly today I am thinking about that Maltese woman who refused to back down. The mother who stood up. The daughter they could not silence. The sister who exposed the truth.

Remember Daphne Caruana Galizia tonight. She deserved better than we gave her.

Next: justice

At journalism festival #ijf24 , CPJ organized a moment of silence and solidarity with journalists in #Gaza , who are suffering an unimaginable toll and whose daily work keeps us informed with facts that shed light on the human condition and help to hold power to account.

Our final speaker of session 3 is Nadia Nasreddin from the Owen Sansom 🏳️‍🌈 group at CRUK Scotland Inst UofG Cancer Sciences University of Glasgow talking about Wnt signalling alterations in CRC.
