It could all be so simple
But you'd rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle
And we both end up with scars

Replying to @SecKermani
@SecKermani telling it as it is in the West Bank
A grim snapshot of Palestinian life in the West Bank - that we witnessed over a week:
- Settlers besieging a family in their own home
- Israeli authorities demolishing Palestinian properties
- Settlers repeatedly attacking farmers, even beating to death more than a dozen lambs
- Israeli soldiers blocking the delivery of water to an isolated community
Watch our full report here:

We spent a week in the Occupied West Bank:
We saw bloody settler attacks, Palestinian homes demolished & tense interactions with Israeli soldiers
Here's a short clip ⬇️
Including our attempt to reach a Palestinian family besieged by "hilltop youth" settlers - before we were violently stopped
With @MillyTeasdale @MackesonPaul Ayman Abu Ramouz & Nava Mizrahi

Tears in my eyes, my gosh how beautiful ❤️
World-leading cardiac surgeon Asif Hasan was surrounded by the children who received the gift of life thanks to his unerring skills at the emotional climax of another memorable Pride of Britain ceremony. 🥹
Now 70 years old, Mr Hasan has just retired after 35 years of service at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne, but just after receiving his Lifetime Achievement Award, he had an extra special surprise: a cast of patients who would not be alive without him. ❤️

Common took Erykah Badu to J Dilla's Detroit basement, wall-to-wall records. Dilla told her to pick one. She pulled Tarika Blue, fell for "Dreamflower" and chose the part.
Dilla taught her to sample it on his MPC and added drums. That became "Didn't Cha Know"

This is the best Christopher Walken impression you’ll ever see in your life.
It’s not just the voice. It’s the utter absurdity.
