The Voice of Hind Rajab does not just deserve BAFTA and Oscar honours. It should also lead to a full explanation and meaningful apology from IDF, together with news on who is facing murder and war crime charges
One small child, one more Gaza death. We hear her desperate pleas for help in this bleakly magnificent film.

Forget the whinging Gooners.
They were not robbed, Sunderland didn’t cheat. The ref didn’t get it wrong. Arsenal ‘s first goal was lucky - a needless loss of the ball by Le Fée - and #safc were magnificent

A brilliant performance from Xhaka and the team. Now will people stop saying we’ve ´played no one yet’?
Four points from the top two. #safc
