Mass anti‑war protests have taken place in central London, with dozens to hundreds of demonstrators gathering to condemn ongoing U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran and call for an end to the escalation of hostilities.

Screenshot of an X post by Dan Scavino reading, β€œHappening Now in the Oval Office at the @WhiteHouse. God Bless the USA!” with prayer, heart, U.S. flag, and eagle emojis. Below is a photo inside the Oval Office showing Donald Trump seated at the Resolute Desk while a large group of men in suits stand around him in a circle with heads bowed and hands extended in prayer. American flags, gold drapes, and framed portraits are visible in the room.

State abortion restrictions in the US are creating risks to pregnant people nationwide.

Women are dying preventable deaths because abortion care is denied or delayed.

"You don't liberate people at the barrel of a gun. Have we learned nothing from Iraq or Afghanistan? All we seem to have learned is from Gaza. Israel has learned that you can bomb hospitals & schools with impunity."

'Refco MP threatens violence and civil unrest if they don't win next election' is a more accurate headline.

At some point Americans should ask themselves if the country that has bombed the most countries, invaded the most countries and killed the most civilians since WW2 is actually the terrorist.

Russia Attacks Kharkiv and Kyiv in Ukraine At least 10 people were killed when a Russian missile hit a five-story apartment building in the city of Kharkiv, and Kyiv and several other regions also came under attack.

Russia unleashed a deadly barrage of missiles and drones on Ukraine early Saturday, killing at least 10 people in Kharkiv.

A 4th body has been discovered in the rubble in Kharkiv.

A reminder Russia - which "doesn't attack civilian targets" - fired a ballistic missile right into an apartment block.

Some still wait to see if loved ones can be rescued.

Sloviansk, in free Donetsk, is being attacked again right now with more shelling, according to local channels.

Nearby, Kostiantynivka comes under ever heavier attacks. In just a month this street in the Krasnyi district has been virtually destroyed.

Russia fired a lot of Kalibr cruise missiles and a few ballistics.

The first ballistic smashed straight into an apartment block in Kharkiv.

I've just heard rescuers have pulled a 3rd body from the rubble and the search continues for others missing.

Day 1473 of Russia's despicable war on Ukraine and war crimes literally every day.

Here's another daily thread starting minutes after I closed the last one, followng an all-night vigil, detailing the long-feared multi missile attack.

All the news, all the time, every single day!

Live updates: Drone strike near Dubai airport as Iran’s president apologises to Gulf nations for attacks President Masoud Pezeshkian says Iran won't attack first - but Qatar defence ministry says it has intercepted a missile.

Iran had a diffuse series of power structures at the best of times. This is not the best of times. You can have a president call for peace and an IRGC seeking to blow up Dubai airport all at once.
