Netanyahu claimed last week that Magyar invited him to Hungary.
Today Magyar said that Netanyahu will be arrested if he enters Hungary:
“I made it clear to the Israeli PM — we will not back down... If a state is an ICC member and a person who is wanted enters that territory, they must be detained”
The greatest damage that has been done to this country: the erosion of truth.

I arrived in Kyiv last night, a couple of hours before Russia's latest massive drone and missile attack. Seventeen people were killed. I'm proud of the fact my newspaper, the Guardian, continues to cover Russia's bloody war against Ukraine. We are still here www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Paperback edition of Edith Pargeter's The Eighth Champion of Christendom "one of the outstanding six novels of the war" - image of artillery units and searchlights in a rural silhouetted landscape
My Easter read was this very surprising novel – the writer is more famous under another name, Ellis Peters, of the medieval Brother Cadfael mysteries. It’s the first of a war trilogy about a WWII infantryman, but it is not a ‘historical novel’: set in 1939/40, it was published in 1945. /1
‘In 1792, during the French Revolution, the tapestry was identified as a potential cover for military wagons, only for it to be rescued at the last minute by a local police commissioner’

That UK government ever considers asserting its contractual rights against a major supplier is rare and welcome.
And here, this is especially welcome.
This will not be easy but it can be done, but it is good it is being seriously considered at all.

Celebrating the Spring Equinox today 20th March when the length of day and night is the same at 12 hours, and the sun is exactly over the equator.
So spring officially begins with more sunshine, flowers and bees (hopefully!).

Listening to stories is a great way to look after our imagination.
Imagination is crucial for creating a better, kinder world.
A kinder world is better for everyone.

I'm glad there is finally pushback from other countries.
The US is a friend of no one except perhaps Israel and Russia under this current administration.
Trumps regime is malignant and needs treating as such.
Make your Monday morning better. Lovely writing about the GOAT

We are thrilled to share that our Human Authored scheme is now live.
This scheme has been designed for the benefit of SoA members, to help identify works written by humans in a market increasingly flooded by AI-generated books.
This is part of a thread: it describes a cuneiform tablet where one friend asks another why he's feeling sad; somehow it is comforting to know that humans have always grappled with these feelings and found them important enough to write down. The entire thread is quite interesting!
