The BBC’s Russia Editor @BBCSteveR received a standing ovation when he was announced as the 2026 recipient of the @RTS_media Special Award. The citation called out Steve's "devotion to his patch and a depth of expertise that is unrivalled...he is, in fact, one of the finest journalists of his generation.” ‘Our Man in Moscow’ talks about his working life, and that of his team in Russia today

Congratulations @BBCSteveR - and to all the winners of the BBC's incredible seven @RTS_media journalism awards last night
Royal Television Society@RTS_media

This year’s Special Award goes to “one of the finest journalists of his generation,” said the jury, @BBCSteveR, @BBCNews’ Russia Editor. “Our media industry is often criticised for not sticking with stories, for moving on too quickly to the next breaking news. But not our winner of this award. He has demonstrated devotion to his patch and a depth of expertise that is unrivalled. He has chosen to base himself in a country that he loves but nevertheless places him under daily intimidation and danger” #RTSAwards

A clarification – the transcription in this post is wrong; Naga does not call the Green Party leaflet ‘the Urdu leaflet’, she refers to ‘this leaflet’. As some X users have already pointed out, the image on the screen does not show Urdu.
Farrukh@implausibleblog

Naga Munchetty, "The Urdu leaflet is an issue" "The leaflet features Keir Starmer, alongside the Indian PM Modi, and Deputy PM David Lammy along with Israeli PM Netanyahu" "Translation: Labour must be punished for Gaza. We have to defeat Reform to give Muslims a strong voice. Give your votes to the Greens" "Are those messages and is that leaflet appropriate?" Zack Polanski, "I'd say anything else is highly inappropriate" "We've had an ongoing genocide for the last couple of years" "We've got our own government not just complicit but actively enabling a genocide through the sharing or arms, intelligence" "And I think people in this country whether they're Muslim, or Jewish, as I am myself, or even people without faith, can recognise that human rights and international law are important" "We've got a Labour government where Keir Starmer who went out on national TV and said that Israel has the right to cut off water and electricity from the Palestinians" "He said that's not what he meant, but Emily Thornberry went out the same day and doubled down on it" "I think it's right that in a democracy we point out the record of this Labour government and we challenge them on it and say that's not rights and its time to end the genocide" Naga Munchetty, "This has been described as a sectarian approach to campaigning. You think that is appropriate" "I think it's totally appropriate" "People are allowed to communicate with different communities about those things communities care about" "But I also think there is an underlying racism of people saying if you're talking about Gaza you're just appealing to a Muslim community" "I'm one of just five Jewish people who have been in leadership positions in British politics" "I deeply care about Palestinians, in the same way I care about the Sudanese, Iranian, or anyone facing occupation, conflict, genocide" "I think it's important to be morally consistent on that" Charlie Stayt, "A lot of people think those leaflets are the nasty side of politics" Zack Polanski, "Genocide is quite nasty" "And I think speaking up for human rights and peace is the only appropriate position" "And it's quite wild that our British political system got to a place where the Green party is the only party doing that" "I think that's why we're winning elections, because people are saying if the party is offering to tackle the cost of living crisis and is showing moral consistency in international human rights law" "That's probably a party worth voting for"
