This Week on GR

"Where's Yulia?" is a question the answer to which could uncover much more than the fate of a Russian woman disappeared from the public eye by the UK government more than six years ago. Knowing what happened to Yulia and her father, Sergei Skripal could too begin to reveal the machinations creating the conditions for the war in Ukraine, currently grinding up the flower of a generation there, and threatening too an escalation of possibly nuclear proportions effecting everywhere.
Tim Norman is a veteran English journalist and editor, working in local, national and international media for daily, weekly and monthly publications. Tim's followed the Skripal case from its beginnings, and his recent article at Propaganda in Focus, 'The Tragedy of Yulia Skripal' picks up the thread six years on, as the story heads again for the frontpages in Britain with the commencement of the Sturgess Inquiry, scheduled for the Fall.

And; polio has been detected in water samples taken in half a dozen locations in the Gaza Strip. Friday, Gaza's Ministry of Health said "highly infectious poliovirus had been identified at six locations in sewage samples collected by UNICEF on June 23 from Khan Younis and Deir al Balah." UnicefUSA blames the "ongoing bombardment of the Gaza Strip" which has targeted and destroyed more than two-thirds of the enclave's water and sanitation infrastructure. But, Israel's introduction of one of the most-feared human pathogens into the genocide struggles today to find press exposure amidst the daily atrocities being committed against the captive population.
Dr. Dorotea Gucciardo is Research Coordinator for the Starling Centre for Just Societies and Technologies at Western University, where she also teaches History. Dorotea too volunteers with the Glia Project, serving as its Director of Development, overseeing "capacity building" projects in Gaza. She writes, her latest project, The Open Gaza Initiative was "interrupted by Israel's genocidal war on Gaza...shift[ing] much of her focus on organizing and leading medical missions into the besieged Gaza Strip."

But first, Tim Norman and finding Yulia Skripal.
