Misan Harriman was catapulted into a new career after turning his camera to anti-racist demonstrations – though the shadow of more recent criticism looms
This is a documentary portrait of the celebrated British-Nigerian photographer, film-maker and activist Misan Harriman, who has campaigned on Gaza and Black Lives Matter, that was completed before the row in May about some of his social media posts. These appeared to amplify anti-Zionist conspiracy theories about media coverage of the Golders Green attack, and inelegantly quoted Susan Sontag’s comments on the Holocaust in relation to Reform UK’s electoral successes. His supporters said this controversy was a smear campaign – and if the film had been made later, Harriman might have wanted to answer the criticisms levelled against him.
As it stands, Harriman emerges from this film as a talented, self-taught photographer: articulate, fluent and candid about his wealthy and privileged background, which allowed him to witness a certain kind of British overclass racism up close. He was making a good living in the financial world before his picture of an anti-racist demonstration went viral after being retweeted by Martin Luther King III (son of Martin Luther King Jr), an interviewee here. Harriman’s new career was born. His short film The After, starring David Oyelowo, was nominated for an Oscar in 2024 and might well have won, in my view, if Wes Anderson had not been included, somewhat against the newcomer spirit of the short film category.

Israel identified about 1,000 potential targets a day during the first two years of the wars in Gaza and Lebanon with its command and control system, according to a presentation by the country’s largest arms supplier, Elbit Systems.
A total of 850,000 targets were detected in real time by the Israeli Tzayad digital army programme across all the military’s theatres of war between 7 October and the end of 2025, the company said at a military conference in London.

European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen backed Zelenskyy’s call for stronger air defence for Europe, saying this will be discussed at the Nato summit in Ankara this week and pledging that Europe will “keep increasing the pressure until Russia ends the bloodshed.”
In a post on X, she said:
“Last night, the Russian regime once again blindly attacked civilians from the air, with over 400 drones and missiles attacking the capital. Ukraine urgently needs more air defence. We will discuss it this week in Ankara at the @NATO Summit.
Last week we provided the first €4 billion under our €90 billion loan, to strengthen Ukraine’s defence with advanced drone technology. More is coming very soon. And we are working hard to seal the deal on the 21st sanctions package in the next days. We will keep increasing the pressure until Russia ends the bloodshed.”

Thales meldt een bindende overeenkomst te hebben ondertekend over de overname van het belang van bijna 36 procent van de familie Gorgé. Daarbij wordt Exail gewaardeerd op 3,9 miljard euro.
Thales koopt het hightechbedrijf voor 134 euro per aandeel en wil de rest van de aandelen in handen krijgen via een verplicht openbaar bod. Met de deal wil het Franse concern, dat in Nederland meerdere locaties heeft, zijn aanwezigheid op de markt voor onderwateroorlogvoering versterken.
De aankoop van het belang van de familie Gorgé wordt naar verwachting in het derde kwartaal van volgend jaar afgerond. De deal moet nog worden goedgekeurd door toezichthouders en mededingingsautoriteiten. Exail is op de markt voor onderwaterdrones een concurrent van Thales, het Zweedse Saab en het Noorse Kongsberg Gruppen.
