British journalist Richard Medhurst was arrested in Heathrow airport under the Schedule 12 Terrorism Act
Without being informed on the exact comments he allegedly made, Medhurst says he was informed that he uttered comments in supportive of a proscribed terrorist group and was held for 24 hours upon his arrival in London. He has stated that this appears to be an intimidation tactic designed to silence his work as a journalist.

I've tried many search engines over the years (most of those listed here) but have settled on DDG for my daily searches. I have not used google for at least ten years now.
DDG is merely adequate - and seems to be becoming less so. I will fall back to Google when I have-to, but even their results seem to be of lesser quality than in the past. This may very well be a symptom of "garbage in, garbage out", as well as corporate manipulation of the search mechanisms.

The situation is so dire that Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital is running out of bandages.
“And what that has meant is that a 13-year-old child who has 50 to 60 percent burns on his body was not able to get sufficient bandage changes for wound cleaning, which then resulted in him having blood poisoning and exhibiting signs of early sepsis. He’s in the ICU.”
Jumaa Yagoub Suleiman, a 30-year-old community leader from Darfur, escaped the massacres in El Geneina last year, but even in Chad his life is constantly under threat from armed groups, and he is forced to change location regularly. “It’s not safe here, they always contact us and send messages, they send people to Adré, searching for the community leaders. They tell me, ‘You escaped from El Geneina, but you’re not going to escape from Adré,’” Jumaa said. #Sudan
