18 posts held, back to 5 October 2024 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 18 posts for this entry, the most recent from 27 June 2025. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Measured directly from 11 videos with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.
368 reactions across 18 posts, in 19 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 38.6% of them.

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 18 of the 18 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 368reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 18 most recent posts we hold, published 5 October 2024 to 27 June 2025, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
🔺 HTS-led militants raided and destroyed tents and Hussainiyas (mourning halls) set up by the people to mourn the martyrdom anniversary of third Shia Imam, Imam Hussain. 🔺 The regime in Syria has reportedly banned mourning ceremonies commemorating the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (AS) in the country. @PressTV

Jolani’s militia made an incursion into Lebanon’s Bekaa region where they were confronted and repelled by local tribes, who kill e at least three before forcing them to retreat. The coup administration then blamed Hezbollah and fired rockets at what it erroneously described as “Hezbollah positions” that were in fact Lebanese villages. Now footage appears to show Jolani militia driving to the border in a show of for…

BREAKING: Israeli jets just broke the sound barrier with two loud blasts heard over the Lebanese capital Beirut, the first time I’ve heard them since the ceasefire in November. Similar blasts were also heard in Bekaa in the east. It comes as Israel is reportedly demanding the ceasefire is extended again until February 28th and will continue its occupation of a number of settlements in the south of the county. The b…

The three journalists martyred in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon arrive in Beirut as a drone hovers overhead. Ghassan Najjar and engineer Mohamed Reda who worked for Al Mayadeen and Al-Manar TV camera operator Wissam Qassim were killed in what has been described as a targeted attack as they slept. It comes days after Israel labeled the last six journalists in northern Gaza “terrorists” saying without evid…

Showing the 12 most recent of 18 posts we hold for @stevesweeneyjournalist. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Republishes
Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.
Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 8 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
