Despite dozens of emails and phone calls, Malta ignored a sinking, overcrowded boat with 400 migrants, including pregnant women and children who begged for rescue. Little did they know Malta had instructed nearby ships to not attempt any rescue. nbcnews.com/news/world/migra…

In an interview with @NBCNews@mithilagg, I argued that Oman simply doesn’t have that level of a relationship with Iran “that it would sacrifice the world for it.” Oman “will not put itself in danger with five of its most important partners in the GCC.” nbcnews.com/world/iran/strai…

I visited @senthilnayagam in Chennai who, after recording a few minutes of audio and a few pictures later, showed how he can produce deepfakes in language. Experts are warning that this could be impacting elections, including in the U.S. @NBCNews nbcnews.com/news/world/india…
