My German isn't perfect yet but I think this means... they are not taking us entirely seriously

@WafaMustafa9 Hello Wafa, I hope you're doing as well as can be at this time - I'm writing from the Berlin bureau of the AFP news agency and wondered if you would have time for a brief chat in the next few days? Please follow back and DM me if so. Best wishes

@ClevelandFire Good morning, I'm from the Fact Check dept at the AFP news agency - could you pls follow back so we can message you with a query about the video below? It is being spread online with claims that we are trying to debunk. Many thanks twitter.com/ClevelandFire/…

@jacktw7 Hello Jack, this is a colleague of Manon Jacob's at AFP Fact Check who I believe you spoke to recently about the fire video from Cleveland. We had a couple of other questions about it - would it be possible to follow me back so I can message you? Many thanks

#AFP video journalist @collinsdyl was wounded by a drone attack while reporting at a Ukrainian artillery position on Monday, AFP reporters who witnessed the explosion said. Dylan Collins, a US citizen based in Lebanon but on assignment in #Ukraine, sustained multiple shrapnel injuries in the attack in a forested area near Bakhmut. He was evacuated to a nearby hospital where he was being treated and doctors have said his condition was not life-threatening. Collins, 35, is conscious and speaking to colleagues. "We are investigating the full circumstances behind this incident. Our thoughts are with Dylan and his loved ones," AFP's Europe Director Christine Buhagiar said in a statement. @AFP

@JonnElledge So very sorry for your loss. Sending you strength x

people are so kind sometimes

Agnes Mary Frimston, the love of my life, died Friday night aged just 35. We don't yet know why. She was the kindest, funniest, most beautiful and all round best person I have ever known, and she was adored by pretty much everyone who ever met her. I loved her so, so much.

@Marthakearney It all looks delicious! :)

Pleased with my 🐝 cupcakes but someone just asked if I’d sat on my brownies (at the back) #bake4susan

In absolute shock at this news. I had the pleasure of working with Arman a few years ago, he was such a talented and enthusiastic colleague and was doing such vital work. RIP.

Arman was the kind of guy who saved hurt hedgehogs in war zones. He was an incredible and vibrant personality and a great journalist. We miss him. We are mourning him. Rest in peace

@dhrutishah @Hewete @Hewete must take all the credit here!

Going to share some of @evangershkovich's stories from his time at @AFP, where he worked for little over a year before @WSJ. Here's a small selection of features he reported for the agency, on top of the onslaught of breaking news alerts the Moscow bureau contends with daily 🧵

Absolutely horrified to hear that my friend and former colleague @evangershkovich has been arrested by the FSB on bogus spying charges. Journalism is not a crime. He should be released immediately.

@RazAkkoc @AFP @AlexRPigman woohoo congrats @RazAkkoc!

Some professional news… you’ll now find me in Brussels as one of @AFP correspondents covering the EU, taking over from the impeccable @AlexRPigman.

#RishiSunak is the new Prime Minister, the first person of colour to become prime minister, and on #Diwali too. This is a hugely symbolic and representative moment for many, many people, and not just the usual suspects, those on the right of politics. 🧵

Interesting couple of days ahead at the #CIC2022 conference in Prague on #disinformation. Moderated this morning by @AFP’s @KheraJas. I’ll talk tomorrow on Bucha and verification on the ground @CEDMOhub #CEDMO #EDMOeu

📢I One day to go until #CIC2022 'Europe Tackles Information Chaos', organised by @CEDMO, kicks off in Prague and online! 💬Join us to discuss about #information, #tech, #AI, #journalism, #medialiteracy, policies & more. ➡️ Check out the program on bit.ly/CIC-CEDMO22ja

Will there now be a queue to file past and pay respects to the queue?

Meanwhile here in Austria the flag at the presidential (formerly imperial) palace is flying at half mast.
