    In the summer of 1938, small ads starting appearing in the Manchester Guardian from Jews in Nazi-run Vienna looking for families in Britain to take in their children. My dad was one of them and was saved. I set out to find what happened to the others.

    CNN reports that a national defence airspace is being established over Biden's home in Wilmington, first trappings of the presidency.

    btw.. Trump just became the first US official to confirm the presence of 50 US nuclear bombs based in Turkey. "We're very confident" they're safe, he told reporters, via WH Pool US and Nato officials never talk about nuclear deployments abroad.

    Macron to Trump on JCPOA "You’re not comfortable with an agreement signed by your predecessor, maybe just because it was signed by your predecessor, but don’t stop others from respecting it and don’t push Iran to leave, because that’s the best protection we have today." #G7Summit

    Hard to overstate the contempt there is in Washington for the UK response to Ukraine when it comes to going after oligarchs and welcoming refugees

    Hannah Arendt, a German Jew, political theorist and philosopher, was born on this day in 1906. One of her many legacies: Totalitarianism can flourish where people systematically refuse to engage with reality, and are ready to replace reason with ideology and outright fiction.

    There you have it. Trump official told CNN the goal is to "set so many fires that it will be hard for the Biden administration to put them all out." This is scorched earth foreign policy.

    Mike Pompeo just claimed: "I fought on the border of East Germany." There was, luckily, no fighting on the border with East Germany.

    Russia's ambassador to the UN, Vasily Nebenzya, is in the Security Council, claiming Ukrainians are shelling themselves. (Echoes of the Bosnian Serb army which would routinely say similar as it bombed Sarajevo)

    According to Der Spiegel, the G7 foreign ministers haven't been able to agree on a joint statement because of Pompeo's insistence it refer to #coronavirus as the "Wuhan virus". Pompeo did not deny that this morning - said G7 don't agree on everything

    "I seek a kind person who will educate my intelligent boy, aged 11." This was the personal ad my Viennese grandparents put in the Manchester Guardian in August 1938, looking for someone to take in my father. It saved his life. He was fostered by a wonderful Welsh couple.
