It is in the BBC's coverage today, Ros Atkins at 12.40. But they are not giving it undue prominence, since, as you say, it does not justify or explain what happened to Alex Pretti. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cjdjgy74l1jt?page=2

I can also find nothing about this on the BBC website despite various other sites claiming the video is BBC-verified. It's not mentioned in their BBC Verify thread. I wondered if they had had doubts since broadcasting it last night. The Guardian, however, appears to confirm it...

Such people occasionally get into nursing, but ICU nurses are super-nurses (unless things are different in the US from UK, which I very much doubt). As soon as I saw that Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse, images came into my mind of many brilliant ICU male nurses who have in recent years helped...

Today, District Judge Patrick Schiltz has ordered the acting ICE director to appear in court on Friday. Schiltz says Todd Lyons must explain why his agency has failed to hold a bond hearing for an immigration detainee in the court-ordered timeframe. Schiltz says "the court's patience is at an...

What a pity discussions couldn't have been conducted in the polite and understated way in which Canada and Denmark settled their old border dispute on Hans Island in 2022! It's remarkable how close Canada and Denmark/Greenland are, through their most northerly territories. Whereas the US...

Is the reference in the NY Post article to the US having sovereignty over its bases? Doesn't this happen already ? I have a vague idea it does in the UK but am not sure exactly how it works. It's a matter of leases anyway not ownership.

Well, since you're kind enough to ask... I am British, living in England, and I try hard not to blame Americans in general for the current administration, Trump, Vance and Miller in particular. Many of us here cringed at having Boris Johnson as PM, but Trump is way beyond that. I found myself...
