A defining moment of this trial: #GisèlePelicot, in her final time on the stand, addressed her decision to keep the surname "Pelicot": "When the trial began, my children were 'ashamed' of the name. I have grandchildren called that. I want them proud. My name is known worldwide now. They shouldn't be ashamed. Today we will remember Gisèle Pelicot." Never forget what this woman has achieved. #ShameMustChangeSides

🔊 A sound you don’t want to hear on holiday: an air raid siren Alarms sounded across Lithuania last month - it turned out to be a drill, but it showed how people are preparing for a Russian attack Should we be doing the same? My article for @theipaper: inews.co.uk/opinion/an-air-r…

An air raid siren on holiday made me realise how close we are to World War Three

As the world gets wetter, why are we still building in areas that flood? I met the families who bought houses unaware they were at risk - until they found out the hard way 🌊 And it will only get worse. @ret_ward @hancloke My latest for @theipaper trib.al/sB2RzMG

I regret buying a newbuild - it flooded twice and is now worth half what we paid

One in 13 new homes has been built in a flood zone. As the weather gets wetter, residents are reporting devastating damage - and say they weren't warned their properties were at risk
