The other journalist called Catherine Bennett wrote a column about Imran Khan... RIP my mentions as the entirety of Pakistani Twitter turns on me 🙃

We're very pleased to announce that SourceMaterial has a new deputy editor. Joining us from Dialogue Earth is Atika Rehman!

Thrilled to share that I've joined a team of stellar investigative reporters at SourceMaterial to report on climate, corruption and democracies 🕵🏽‍♀️🔍. Some excellent stories here source-material.org

Pakistan & China pursue corridor dream despite financial, security risks. Recent attacks have cast a spotlight on the challenges facing #CPEC, but both countries are committed to the project. Atika Rehman for Dialogue Earth. The Third Pole dialogue.earth/en/business/pa…

Politicians are calling on other EU countries to stop exporting toxic gasoline to West Africa, following our story. The joint investigation showed Belgian and Dutch export bans risk being ineffective without a wider ban. (support Journalismfund Europe) nos.nl/artikel/255642…

Our story found oil shipments with characteristics of the toxic fuel trade moving through Spain and Latvia after the bans elsewhere. Full story here: source-material.org/toxic-fuel-uk-…

Millions of UK tyres meant for recycling sent to furnaces in India bbc.in/4hEAfQE

Ever heard of a 'pyrolysis' plant? It's almost certainly where your car tyres will end up, sent by UK exporters to be 'boiled' into a toxic oil. The same plants are killing people. I've seen footage of kids, who lived on site, covered in burns. Read on: source-material.org/waste-tyre-pyr…

The graphic here explains the journey of the tyre (courtesy of my fab co-reporter Atika Rehman). Basically, garages are charging you an 'environmental disposal fee' for your tyre, but then flog it on extremely cheap to buyers so they make a bigger profit. (thread)

Atika Rehman UK buyers without a proper permit then flog them onto ships bound for India so THEY make a bigger profit. (Instead of actually recycling them, which would cost a lot more.) So this undercuts the UK tyre recyling sector, which is on the brink of going bust, according to sources.

🔥Fighting Dirty has launched a legal case in a bid to “shut down the illegal trade in waste tyres that is poisoning India” This comes after an investigation by SourceMaterial and the BBC found that millions of tyres exported from the UK are being burned endsreport.com/article/191151…

NEW: Our investigation with BBC reveals how millions of the UK's waste tyres are sent to India where they end up in the poorly regulated pyrolysis industry – a dangerous business endangering the lives and health of workers. Picture: Shiva Choudhary

A story I got to worked for these past few months : Millions of tyres are brought from UK to India & used to extract Pyrolysis oil. But the process leaves behind heavy pollution and is even deadly. Listen to BBC Radio 4 documentary - bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… #TheTyreScandal

"The Environment Agency is undertaking an internal review of its approach to waste tyre shipments to India." Two days after our report with @BBCFileon4 on UK tyres being dangerously 'boiled' in India, the UK announces a review of the trade. source-material.org/waste-tyre-pyr…

Impact: Our investigation with BBC File On 4 has led to action! The government is reviewing UK tyre exports to India after our report showed they end up in highly polluting pyrolysis plants, with officials "very keen" to investigate the claims. bit.ly/4iYzPWM

Good to see that our investigation into waste tyres with my top colleague Atika Rehman and co-reporters BBC File On 4 was debated in Westminster this week.
