- An Israeli settler beat elderly amputee Sheikh Saeed Al Amour as he bent down to reach his crutches on Saturday.
Al Amour’s olive groves have become a frequent target for attacks, with the illegal settlement of Avigayil just a kilometre away, Channel 4 News reported in August 2025.
Footage from that time shows the elderly farmer with both legs. Al Jazeera subsequently reported that Al Amour lost his right leg after being shot by settlers.
In a clip originally posted on Facebook by Palestinian journalist Osama Makhramrh and translated by Al Jazeera two days ago, Al Amour explains that a settler had “cornered” a group of local children. When Al Amour confronted him, the settler struck his back “with a pipe”.

The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in 2026 is roughly the same as when, in the very, very distant past, the Earth was between 6 and 8 degrees warmer. If the Earth were to reach those temperatures again, the majority of mammals would go extinct.
While we’re not at those temperatures now, the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere could cause the climate to accelerate towards planetary conditions that pre-date the dinosaurs.
This is the stark warning of this week’s guest, Bill McGuire. A geologist and volcanologist by training, he has spent time as an expert and government advisor on extreme weather events, before becoming an author. According to him, there is no plan for the extreme climactic upheaval that is to come.

But if you call the Gaza genocide what it is, then there’s no “wriggle room” for the Israeli government and its military.

At a vigil for Cambridge professor Jason Arday on Monday, filmmaker Misan Harriman called for accountability for the way the media treated the academic before his death.
Multiple UK news organisations, including Novara Media, have faced widespread criticism for their coverage of the story.
Lord Simon Woolley, principal of Homerton College, Cambridge, and Labour MP Diane Abbott also paid tribute to Arday.
“It wasn’t just a campaign against the professor,” Abbott said. “It was a campaign against all of us.”

Malone, a regular guest co-host on Novara Live, avoided discussing the Jason Arday story in public until after his death, except to criticise the level of media attention it was receiving.

- Did this rant encourage Andy Burnham to crack down on vape shops?
Novara Media’s Aaron Bastani visited Wigan – part of the Makerfield constituency – ahead of the 18 June byelection that enabled Burnham to become prime minister.
While there, he saw the degradation of the high street that has come to define 21st-century Britain – vape shops, betting shops and street scars.
"Dare I say, it's the political equivalent of low self-esteem," Aaron said.
Aaron has spent months advocating for the government to "go after dodgy vape shops". Last week, the prime minister announced that councils would get more powers to stop gambling and vape shops from opening.
"I don't see why anywhere should have to accept they have empty shops, vape shops and the challenges that come with that," Burnham said.

Goodman is the subject of a new film, Steal This Story, Please!, which documents her storied career covering some of the most consequential moments in American living history.
