Absolutely horrific. We are watching ethnic cleansing and genocide happening in broad daylight, in real time. Our govt has a duty to prevent genocide - and yet is still selling arms to Israel. The UK's complicity must end.

A Trump intermediary tells CNN’s parent company that they can buy peace with Trump by making a highly flattering documentary about Melania Trump or a TV show about Trump Jr, which would involve paying the Trump family large amounts of money. The move appears to meet the legal standard for extortion.
A Donald Trump ally has a suggestion for Warner Bros. Discovery: Why don't you pay us or give us a TV show?
Donald Trump is suing some media companies. But he's also open to deals with them, like one with WBD that could include money, programming, or both.
