First, a statue of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin appears in the Moscow Metro. Then a Kremlin adviser says that “from a legal standpoint the USSR still exists.” In Russia the past hangs over the present. My report from Moscow.

I remember some very sensible people telling me abortion would never be under threat in the UK the same way it happened in the US.

The Fugees’ 2nd and final studio album “The Score” hits #1 today in 1996 — just six years after Lauryn Hill met Pras Michel (and his cousin, Wyclef Jean) as high-school kids in Maplewood, New Jersey. Two Grammys (for Best Rap Album and Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group) “Killing Me Softly”

I'm old enough to remember when actual random children were receiving threats from actual grown-up lawyers demanding $10s-of-thousands for downloading a low-quality torrent rip of a pop song on their mum's PC, and politicians didn't give a solitary chubby shite.

One month ago, the Supreme Court made a ruling that rolled back trans rights in the UK It made this decision without listening to a single trans voice Today, to mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, we’re bringing those voices somewhere they can't miss them 🏳️‍⚧️

Fusion is far closer to working than CCS. And CCS will never work on any kind of scale in any kind of timeline that it makes a difference to the climate emergency. It's greenwashing.

ALICE detects the conversion of lead into gold at the LHC Near-miss collisions between high-energy lead nuclei at the #LHC generate intense electromagnetic fields that can knock out protons and transform lead into fleeting quantities of gold nuclei Find out more: home.cern/news/news/ph...

I am delighted that the Government has finally committed to the Scottish Green Party policy of ending peak rail fares for good. This is why having Green voices in Holyrood is so important. Voting Green gets results!

This absolutely shocking. Donald Trump has posted an AI-generated image of himself dressed in papal regalia on his Truth Social platform - just 11 days after the death of Pope Francis news.sky.com/story/trump-...
