Powerful report by Matt Frei with film of the Civil Defence in Gaza whose work is retrieval of the bodies of families from the rubble, sometimes years after the destruction. #c4news

Thought that was a really good report on the Israeli election by Secunder Kermani. Fair, covered all sides, let each of them speak for themselves, didn't forget consequences for all those who will be affected by result. #c4news

Interesting report by Ayshah Tull. Is new NICE guideline for OCD being rushed by NICE management? Is there pressure to save money? Will guideline not recommend a treatment that helps patients? #c4news

Brilliant, brave report by Secunder Kermani and team on the threats, harassment, destruction and violence by settler thugs, often enabled by the IDF, on Palestinians in the West Bank, a people under siege, economically and sometimes literally. #c4news

Trump: "I'm studying his body. I've never studied the body of a man before. It's not my thing. Nothing wrong with it, of course. But it's never been my thing. But I looked at his ass. I said, 'His ass, shit, it's like a pile of muscle.' Then I looked at his legs and I said, 'Man, his feet are big.'"

The big moment, if it comes, and I really hope it does, is when the Trump enablers in GOP realize that he is no longer an asset to their election hopes but a massive liability. #c4news

'This creates an additional cycle of terror. When people are retelling their terrifying stories to each other.' Ukrianian human rights campaigner telling Paraic O'Brien how Trump is terrorizing Ukrainians. #c4news

Two different pronunciations of 'biopic' on Only Connect last night. Victoria Coren Mitchell (knowingly?) going with bi-opic and the team captain with 'bio-pic'.
