    Flying tonight from Libya to Niger with 122 refugees freed from detention centers in Tripoli. Hopefully they will be resettled to third countries soon. This programme is crucial: it provides safe, orderly alternatives to people smuggling and exploitation.

    I hope that we can find the strength to find a better way forward together: so that we move into a new era of preventing conflict and reducing instability, rather than simply struggling to deal with its consequences.

    Surely not? Seismic sensors in Mexico City detected what was reported to be a mini "artificial" earthquake, caused by what the country's Institute of Geologic and Atmospheric Investigations claimed was "possible mass jumping," after Lozano's goal.
