We are currently experiencing record heat across Europe, but take a look at the newspapers. I mean, seriously. Where is the coverage? Where is the focus? Where is the drive to investigate the future?

We are failing as a news industry. Just completely failing. As a media analyst, it's astonishing to look at.

This NHS crisis is historic – a war footing is the only way to deal with it | Simon Jenkins - The situation is now as bad as it was in the pandemic. What’s needed is a parliamentary coalition to confront the chaosThe gap between order and chaos is narrow. A Swindon patient waits 99 hours for a hospital bed. A Gwynedd woman lies screaming for 25 hours for an ambulance to arrive. It is... #theguardian

@zleap @mpjgregoire That assumes of course that the government allows itself to be taken to trial. My go to example would be China with the South China Sea.

US warcrimes would be a more American example of the refusal of allowing foreign powers to rule on US government actions and their employees actions.

Perhaps you could find the answer in how the US justifies the constitutionality of extradition treaties?

@zleap @mpjgregoire The US government likely would not face much charges due to the treaties that it has signed and how international law is enforced in the country.

There are some moves to allow people to sue governments but it likely would run into the problem that the individual themselves are not entitled to anything.

That is without us thinking that the US government has made it very hard to sue itself.

Learning and education sounds more like the standard benefits of historical education. If a group in society was harmed by the slavery (as it could be assumed that a group has benefited from slavery in the case of the celebrity), then if you wish to lift that group back up then more then historical education may be needed.

Comes down to if you want the government or society to try and lift groups of people who fall down up or groups who fell down due to reasons that were bad (slavery etc). The answer to that will determine what sort of actions if any should be done.

I do think suing on behalf of ancestors would be a stupid way to achieve anything.

‘We had a seance to channel John Lennon’: how Wah! made The Story of the Blues - ‘We got hold of a drum machine but there was no manual. That’s why the song has a weird conga pattern – we didn’t know how to delete it’The early singles by Wah! Heat were indie hits because John Peel championed them. I went to meet him at a Fall gig in Manchester. The Fall were fantastic, but it... #theguardian

Maryam Mirzakhani was the first woman & Iranian to earn the Fields Medal in mathematics for her brilliant work in hyperbolic geometry.

Her achievements influenced quantum field theory, engineering & material science & may have applications related to how the universe began.

Mirzakhani was an immigrant & became a Stanford professor. She passed away at just 40 in 2017. In her words:

“The beauty of mathematics only shows itself to more patient followers.”
