@cathynewman This is one programme I always watch for its insightful comments and analysis, to make sure I am up to date. A poor decision by those in authority. The quality of reporting is superb.

This is incredibly sad and really worrying at a time when democracy and media freedoms around the world are under threat. The work public service broadcasters do is more crucial now than ever.

The honour of presenting @BBCNewsnight falls to me tonight. I have worked on the programme for 32 years, around the world, risking my life many times for its journalism. You can well imagine my feelings at cuts to our staff and budget of more than 50% bbc.co.uk/news/entertain…

Montreal Animal Rescue Network- no kill 🐈 shelter
Little Lucy unfortunately has cancer in her nose, but while she’s still doing well we had a foster mom gracious enough to take her in and offer her a home and love for her final days. Palliative care isn’t glamorous, but it’s a sacred duty that we’re grateful to be able to offer.

You probably know Mr Fox from my videos. He’s always happy and the one getting belly rubs. He had a tough life though. All his family are gone (5 siblings various issues). He lives alone in the jungle. Well it was time to bring him in and get him a home 🙏

@rickygervais That's no fair. She will want to be with all the other animals when she passes away. This raises an important issue - do animals have souls?

@AuschwitzMuseum @jessphillips May the 6 million Jews murdered in concentration camps rest in peace. Pure evil. When I visited Auschwitz many years ago, I still remember the piles of human hair that had been shaved of heads of Jewish people and the blue cardigan for a child. Never again.

Vaso Stamatiou, one of the last Greek survivors of Auschwitz, has died at the age of 98. Stamatiou was born in Aridaia of Pella and grew up in Thessaloniki. She was arrested by the Gestapo on March 28 in 1944 in central Thessaloniki, while a first-year law student, for participating in an attempted demonstration to commemorate the March 25 Greek Revolution of 1821. Stamatiou was one of the few Greek women who, without being Jewish, were deported to Auschwitz. She was detained in Pavlos Melas Prison and then tranferred to a prison in Belgrade. From there in June 1944 she was deported to Auschwitz in a transport of 112 Yugoslavian and Greek women. She was registered as no. 82224. Few months later she was tranferred to other camps and finally liberated. Stamatiou returned to Greece and took charge of the wardrobe of the Lyric Theatre. She also received a diploma in scenography from the School of Fine Arts in Athens.
