Yesterday I got arrested whilst filming a @JustStop_Oil supporter holding a banner on the pavement near the coronation route. I'm a filmmaker and had my @BECTU press accreditation visible around my neck.
Police deemed this to be "conspiracy to commit a public nuisance".

Cultivated meat has "potential" for "lower environmental impact" (agricultural land use, air pollution, nitrogen-related emissions). Carbon footprint "substantially lower" than beef. But production is energy-intensive, so using renewable energy is crucial

"I have to convict you... You should feel guilty for nothing." A truly extraordinary summation from Judge Wilkinson in this Just Stop Oil case juststopoil.org/2023/02/16/y…

I see this as the most important of all issues: the collapse of the Earth systems on we and all the living wonders with which we share this planet depend. It is happening in front of our eyes, and it should dominate the news everywhere, every day. theguardian.com/environment/…

1/Putin's partial mobilization order is an acknowledgment that Russia is failing to accomplish its objectives in Ukraine, I tell @IamAmnaNawaz. We discussed the impact of Putin's decision on the battlefield, its domestic implications, and the likelihood of escalation.
Putin said more manpower is needed to win a war not just against Ukraine, but against its western backers. @nataliabugayova joined @IamAmnaNawaz to discuss.

Saving food diversity is a responsibility we all share… fascinating paper in @PLOSONE about the role of gardeners across Asia in saving endangered varieties of fruits and vegetables. It’s not just down to farmers and seed banks!! journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…

A thread on ‘fatwas’:
A fatwa is a legal ruling delivered by a religious jurist, these days denoted by the rank of Ayatollah or higher. Fatwas are an integral aspect of Shia jurisprudence which operates on the basis of the continuous interpretation of scripture /1
