Hanse Mina#Greece and #Spain are under intense pressure from their #EU and #Nato allies to provide more air defence systems to #Ukraine, as #Kyiv prepares to demand more aid at a meeting of EU foreign and defence ministers on Monday.
The two leaders, whose armed forces possess between them more than a dozen #Patriot systems plus others such as S-300s, were told their need was not as great as Ukraine’s and that they did not face any imminent threat.

Chris KendallOnce again for those at the back: you can take a stand against terror and in support of Israeli citizens without backing Netanyahu and the IDF; you can take a stand against the Israeli government and its atrocities in Gaza without backing Hamas.

The false trade-off between climate action and economic growth

Rick Eyre on CricketThere's a lot to digest in the #ICEC Report which spells out many issues which have been hiding in plain sight all along. And the problems can't all be considered just as British problems. In Australia and elsewhere we should reflect on the findings and ask "what can we do here?"
The full ICEC report is a long and thorough read which I certainly haven't gotten through yet, but the 44 recommendations are worth reading at least. The full report and summaries are here:
