United Nations experts have accused Israel of committing genocidal acts and sexual violence in the Gaza Strip, citing Israel’s systematic destruction of women’s healthcare facilities during the conflict. However, this raised the question of whether the world has ceased monitoring the situation in Gaza. What implications does this have for global affairs?  

James also reflected on Jamie Oliver’s call for increased government support for individuals with dyslexia. As one of the most prevalent learning difficulties affecting approximately 1.2 million children in the United Kingdom, Jamie has criticised the current system as inadequate for dyslexic and neurodivergent children, highlighting the number of individuals who are falling through the cracks. Today, James heard from individuals who live with dyslexia and shared their experiences of receiving a diagnosis later in life.

James also spoke with Adam Ratner, a paediatric infectious diseases physician in New York City, who provided insights into the anticipated outbreak of measles in West Texas, given the recent spread of measles myths perpetuated by RFK.
