Chilcot: The verdict from the UK's media (Rachel Shabi, Al Jazeera)
How upset was he, really? For a brief period, as Tony Blair gave a speech in response to the Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq war, that seemed to be the central question for Britain's commentariat: Blair's voice is breaking, is it genuine? Is he about to cry?

Hologram for a King might trigger US soul-searching (Rachel Shabi, Al Jazeera)
That it is irritating is a given: It is, after all, a Hollywood film. So yes, if you're watching the new Tom Hanks movie, A Hologram for the King, set in Saudi Arabia, you're going to be gritting your teeth at quite a bit of sappiness - and also, at the general condescension to a viewer's intelligence in its delivery of plot or character development

Of course, it was a comment too good to resist. When a NATO commander accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of "weaponising" migrants, it was picked up by media outlets everywhere. Because that is exactly the sort of thing the dastardly Russian president would do, in cahoots with the murderous Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad, isn't it?
