Lovely to see this from @JamWaterhouse . Fantastic reporting from the front line across Ukraine. BBC at its best.
James Waterhouse@JamWaterhouse
In 2003 I got a B, two Ds and an E at AS level, so I appreciated the chance to go back to my old school and hopefully reassure the students going through them today. The road is long.

Looking forward to important discussions at #URC2024 as Governments, Donors, SMEs and Civil Society groups meet in Berlin to continue to support the recovery and reconstruction agenda at such a critical time. @UKinUkraine @crownagents

Farage's entrance has made a bigger splash, but this raw emotion from Ed Davey is arguably the most powerful bit of communication in the campaign so far.

'One of my biggest fears in life is what happens to him when I'm gone.' Speaking on @ITVTonight, Sir Ed Davey opened up about juggling responsibilities as Liberal Democrat leader and caring for his disabled teenage son | @rachyoungeritv reports itv.com/news/2024-06-0…

Very proud of Tim Snyder here - and his work @JacksonYale and in the public sphere -
Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦@rshereme
A brilliant response by Timothy Snyder to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s accusation of Nazis in Ukraine. As a leading scholar on the subject of nationalism, Snyder makes three points: 1/n

Very powerful remarks @SaveCEO_US keep up your critical life saving work and global advocacy for children.
Janti Soeripto@SaveCEO_US
The #earthquake may have disrupted my remarks at the UN Security Council, but what I called for is far from earth shattering. On behalf of all children in Gaza, I demanded action. The world has the tools to address this crisis. It merely lacks the political will to use them.

Magnitude 5.5 struck struck New York and New Jersey. It was felt in UN Security Council, where cameras shook. Save the Children CEO Janti Soeripto, who was addressing the UNSC on Gaza, stopped speaking. Palestinian UN envoy Riyad Mansour quipped: “You’re making the ground shake.”

Very powerful, a history lesson of Russian aggression in four minutes. Words and diplomacy matter. #StandWithUkraine
Carl Bildt@carlbildt
This intervention by @radeksikorski 🇵🇱 in the 🇺🇳 Security Council today will be a classic. Not much left of 🇷🇺 after that.

Incredibly powerful. "All it takes for evil to flourish..." we will remember him and his bravery in adversity.

A clear and brave message from @navalny in case the regime should kill him.

Ukraine needs long term friends and partners who will support every aspect of its historic struggle. Many thanks to @JustinWelby for this visit of compassion and solidarity.
Archbishop of Canterbury@ArchbishopSarah
Almost two years have passed since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. I have come here to stand with our Ukrainian sisters and brothers; to pray with and for them, to learn from them and to say loud and clear that, amid all that is going on in other places, the world will not forget Ukraine.

Really good #Cop28 session on @crownagents vision for solar electrification across Africa hosted by @DP_World with @Jamesogradycam and Deputy Minister for Health of Sierra Leone along with @YasmineSherif1 of Education Cannot Wait. Strong synergies between health and education.

Fascinating session at #COP28UAE by @Jamesogradycam on mobilising finance for climate change. Strong focus on fragile states and leveraging the flow of resources around the world to the most vulnerable.

If we want to save our planet, we must get the "nuts and bolts" right- ensuring our pledges are met with impactful initiatives on the ground.
Let's get it done!

Steve Rosenberg, the BBC’s magnificent Russia Editor, was last night made the London Press Club’s Broadcaster of the Year. Hugely deserved.

Great day yesterday with our partners who joined us at Windsor Castle for our Crown Agents International Development event.
We were honoured to be hosted by our royal patron, HRH The Duke of Gloucester with many exciting conversations about new solutions to old problems.

Really powerful personal words from @lisanandy about the multi cultural society we actually are and the policy changes we can put in place to strengthen our cross community bonds even further.

Suella Braverman is wrong. Multiculturalism isn’t the problem. But we know what the problem is… #bbcqt
