EFFecting Change Livestream Series: How to Disenshittify the Internet (TV webcast)
The internet didn’t get worse by accident; it’s been systematically molded into what we have today.
Join Wendy Liu live in conversation with Cory Doctorow about Cory’s latest book, Enshittification. Cory makes it clear: platforms are not as promised, Big Tech is profiting, and you should be frustrated. We’re not just talking about what has happened, we’re sending out a call for action.
Doctor Who: Circuit Breaker
The global multi-platform story begins 25 June 2026, and the Fugitive Doctor is at the centre of it all.
A major new Doctor Who story event is here, and this time, the threat is closer than ever. Following its initial reveal last year, BBC Studios unveiled new rollout details, story elements and artwork for Circuit Breaker in the latest episode of The Whoniverse Show on the official Doctor Who YouTube channel. Doctor Who: Circuit Breaker launches on 25 June 2026, kicking off an epic, multi-platform adventure unfolding this summer across audio, publishing, gaming and digital, bringing fans together for one connected, must-follow Whoniverse event. The story event will see a single, escalating crisis play out across multiple formats, with each chapter unlocking new clues, new dangers… and a new side to the Time Lord. Circuit Breaker brings together a range of longstanding Doctor Who partners including Titan Comics, Doctor Who Magazine, BBC Audiobooks, East Side Games, Puffin, BBC Books and Big Finish, each delivering a unique chapter of the story across the summer. In the depths of UNIT’s most secure facility, the Black Archive, familiar objects have been pulled through time and space surrounded with a dangerous energy signature threatening to tear reality apart.
With time running out, newly appointed Head of the Black Archive, Osgood (Ingrid Oliver) and her assistant Andrew (Omari Douglas) turn to the only person who can help… the Doctor (Jo Martin). This is no ordinary crisis, and not the Time Lord they are familiar with. As the Doctor confronts her most infamous enemies such as the Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans and a rogue Weeping Angel, she is forced to complete a mission with an insidious presence lurking in the shadows. Secrets begin to surface, and trust between UNIT and the Doctor begins to erode as those who idolise her start to question if she really is the Time Lord they thought they knew… Fans can follow every twist via the Doctor Who website and official channels and The Whoniverse Show, with the first chapter of the epic story launching on the in-universe UNIT website on 25 June. Circuit Breaker marks the third Doctor Who multi-platform event following the epic stories Time Lord Victorious and Doom’s Day.
The countdown to ‘Doctor Who: Circuit Breaker’ starts now

#RSFIndex2026 World Press Freedom Index 2026 – publication
2026 RSF Index: press freedom at a 25-year low, for the first time in the history of the Reporters Without Borders (RSF) World Press Freedom Index, over half of the world’s countries now fall into the “difficult” or “very serious” categories for press freedom.
In 25 years, the average score of all 180 countries and territories surveyed in the Index has never been so low. Since 2001, the expansion of increasingly restrictive legal arsenals — particularly those linked to national security policies — has been steadily eroding the right to information, even in democratic countries. The Index’s legal indicator has declined the most over the past year, a clear sign that journalism is increasingly criminalised worldwide. In the Americas, the situation has evolved significantly, with the United States dropping seven places and several Latin American countries sliding deeper into a spiral of violence and repression.

The “Nuclear Energy Paradox”- Investigating nuclear imaginaries in energy projections – publication
The paper ‘The “Nuclear Energy Paradox”- Investigating nuclear imaginaries in energy projections‘ investigates the “nuclear energy paradox” which shows the recurring divergence between historical projections and actual developments.
A data compilation of long-term energy projections from international organizations such as the IAEA and the IEA as well as energy system models like GCAM and MESSAGE, as used in the IPCC, reveal a recurring pattern of high-growth projections for nuclear power. Decades of high-growth projections for nuclear power from (inter-)national agencies and from academia can be observed. Actual development shows divergence between projections and reality. A recurring pattern of overestimation can be identified, which we call the “nuclear energy paradox”. The paradox is rooted in nuclear imaginaries like the plutonium economy and/or hopes of mass production of, e.g., SMRs. Recent energy scenarios are still driven by narratives that are based on certain nuclear imaginaries.

Day in Memory of the Victims of Earthquakes 2026
In April 2025, the United Nations General Assembly designated 29 April as the International Day in Memory of the Victims of Earthquakes inviting all Member States, organizations of the United Nations system and other relevant international organizations to collaborate on the commemoration.
In doing so, the General Assembly reaffirmed its commitment to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and recalled the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030, recognizing that disasters continue to undermine sustainable development. These commitments underscore that understanding disaster risk, strengthening prevention and mitigation, and improving preparedness and effective response are essential to protecting lives and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Earthquakes are among the deadliest natural hazards, often striking without warning and causing devastating loss of life and long lasting social, economic, and psychological harm. Recent earthquakes in countries such as Myanmar and Afghanistan are stark reminders of how these events can destroy infrastructure, displace entire communities, and affect generations long after the ground stops shaking. Their impact is severe and measurable. Since 1900, there have been at least 12 major earthquakes, each of which killed more than 50,000 people. Earthquakes also have substantial economic consequences, accounting for more than a quarter of global disaster losses and causing trillions of dollars in damage over recent decades. Beyond direct destruction, they can trigger fires, tsunamis, and landslides, compounding damage across housing, health, education, and livelihoods. Earthquake risk is driven by factors such as rapid urbanization in seismic areas, weak or ageing infrastructure, poverty, inequality, and poor enforcement of building codes—making risk informed development and resilient infrastructure essential. In acknowledgement of the grave consequences of these disasters, the United Nations has established the International Day in Memory of the Victims of Earthquakes, observed annually on 29 April, and tasked the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) with facilitating its observance. The Day provides a moment to remember those lost and renew commitment to prevention, preparedness, and building back better, in line with the priorities of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.
