Global food supplies could be badly hit if Iran war drags on, says fertiliser boss Yara’s Svein Tore Holsether says it would be ‘catastrophic’ if the strait of Hormuz was closed for a year The boss of one of the world’s largest fertiliser companies has said global food supplies could be badly damaged this year if the Iran war becomes an extended conflict. Svein Tore Holsether, the chief executive of Norway’s Yara International, has called on global leaders to consider the impact that soaring food prices will have in some of the world’s poorest countries “before it is too late”.

Things are not going to get better as long as oligarchs rule the roost in our democracies | George Monbiot If we want the kind of fair, functioning state Britain saw post-1945, we need to take on the economic powers that wrecked it, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

From 1941 to 1952 in the UK, the top rate of income tax was 98%. A luxury goods purchase tax introduced in 1940 later rose to 100%.
Result? The share of incomes captured by the richest 0.1% fell from 7% in 1937 to just over 1% in 1975. That's what we need today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

An unholy coalition between EPP and extreme right just adopted a law enabling ICE-style structures and deportations. A step closer to a dystopian, Trump-inspired deportation policy.
A big step away from a fair, humane and efficient migration system. I urge the EPP to rethink before the plenary vote.

Muslims traumatised after right-wing attack on community dinner A Muslim community in Ballarat is left traumatised after a man barged into a community dinner allegedly throwing punches and yelling abuse.

"A 37-year-old man was interviewed by police at the scene and was then given a direction to move on."

It seems staggeringly unlikely if a Muslim came in throwing fists, threatening to kill people and shouting anti-semitic slogans at kids during Hannukah they'd be allowed to leave peacefully.

It turns out the U.S. did a “double tap” attack just as emergency responders were arriving at the girls’ elementary school. This is what the Russians do routinely in Ukraine.

That’s a war crime under international humanitarian law.

On March 4, a U.S. sub torpedoed the IRIS Dena. Of 180 aboard, 87 died and 61 are missing; Sri Lanka rescued 32.

Sinking a ship that was someone's guest, that was following peacetime protocols, that couldn't fight back. Then leaving sailors to drown thousands of miles from home. That’s a war crime.

Post image Fatima al-Fihri (early 9th century CE) was a visionary Muslim woman and educational pioneer who founded the University of al-Qarawiyyin in Fez, Morocco, in 859 CE. This institution is recognized by UNESCO and the Guinness World Records as the oldest continuously operating degree-granting university in the world.
Born into a wealthy and educated family that had migrated from Tunisia, Fatima inherited her father's fortune and chose to invest it in creating a center for religious and academic learning. She personally oversaw the university’s construction, designing it as a space for advanced study in subjects such as theology, law, mathematics, astronomy, and languages.
Her remarkable contribution not only advanced Islamic scholarship but also established a lasting legacy of education and inclusion, with the university eventually open to students of all backgrounds and faiths.
