Excited! The first episode of our brand new podcast The Global Story is out👇Our promise to listeners: to challenge breathless headlines, providing insight and fresh perspectives on the stories that matter. One subject at a time. Mon to Fri. Try us! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
Will Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu survive this war and how long can his leadership last beyond? I’ve been speaking to people in Tel Aviv about the response of their government, military and longest-serving PM. Produced by @cswift2 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
I’ve been hearing from people about the impact of Saturday’s Hammas attacks, the multiplying grief and what is still to come, across Israel and Gaza Produced by @cswift2 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
"The shooting went on and on and on." Ethiopian migrants tell us about their experiences at the Yemeni-Saudi border. @hrw has accused Saudi Arabia of widespread, systematic killings. With thanks to @cswift2 @Amensisa_Ifa @stuartantrobus @edavebull among others.
Here is the TV report we did from Baghdad for @BBCNews on the 20th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. shot and edited by @nikcam12 producers @cswift2 @JoFloto @SangarKhaleel and thanks to Marcus Buckley
"While Iraq stays splintered the threat of the slide back into violence and trouble is always there" The BBC's International Editor Jeremy Bowen @BowenBBC reports from Iraq as he looks at the legacy and consequences of the 2003 invasion. bbc.in/3yR32xr | #R4Today
@BowenBBC travels through Iraq and reports on the legacy and consequences of the invasion in 2003 by the US, UK, and their allies. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…
Today I'm reporting from Baghdad on the 20th anniversary of the catastrophic US-led invasion of Iraq. For starters, here are some thoughts I contributed to the @BBCNews site bbc.com/news/world-mid…
The Queue applauds at Westminster after the National Moment of Reflection
My on the ground report from Bucha and its horrors. thetimes.co.uk/article/war-in…
WATCH: The defenders of Kharkiv, our latest for @BBCNews @BBCWorld. @dcinfocus @StuHollandEsq Liuba and Serge. Full video here bbc.com/news/av/world-… #Ukraine #україна
"I have no tears because all my tears I left in Kyiv". Tetiana fled from #Kyiv to Lviv with her 15yr old son David - her husband asked her to keep him safe. Now a separated family, like tens of thousands in #Ukraine. @reetacbbc hears their story on #BBCNews
‘Save our younger son’ - the words of Tetiana’s husband about their 15 year old son David. We met them both here in Lviv, as her husband and older son stayed behind to fight in Kyiv. Their story - like that of 10s of 1000s of separated families is on #bbcnewsten #ukraine
So much heartrending reporting coming out of Ukraine from so many different news organisations. This piece from @BowenBBC and filmed by Fred Scott is a hard but necessary watch, because it captures the horror of war #Ukraine bbc.com/news/av/world-…
Many questions had remained unanswered - until now. #NovakDjokovic speaks to the #BBC's @amolrajan on #BBCNews. @DjokerNole
