Worldwide, journalism has never been more dangerous… (warning: some swearing)

“Turns out one of the best defences against these super high tech machines is a twelve gauge shotgun. We need the British aristocracy down in Kramatorsk with some pate and some Pimms. The skies would be clear in a week.” bylinetimes.com/2026/03/02/pau…

So sad to hear of Paul Conroy’s passing. A big hearted human, humanitarian and consummate photographer and journalist. He never lost sight that the story was never about him, but rather the people at the other end of his lens he so bravely gave voice to.

I am devastated to learn that my dear friend, my brother in arms, Paul Conroy has gone on to the next life. He was one of the bravest men I have ever known. I can barely believe it, we only spoke yesterday. His loss will be felt profoundly by us all. Rest in peace @reflextv.

Larry the Cat - the real star of Downing Street - celebrates 15 years in post today 🎂 He’s served under six Prime Ministers…but hasn’t let it go to his head…still happy to pop across the street to hangout with the press corps…

@masaccio60 I was on that same border, that same route, in those same winter snows in Feb/March ‘98 witnessing terrified women and children, some on tractors, many on foot, fleeing from Kosovo into Montenegro. Be careful of mines. Might be worth asking locals if any were laid in that area..

Of course there’s no way we would sneak over the border into Montenegro, following the route of the Great Retreat of 1915 😉

Afghan memory: the British medics facing life and death – Channel 4 News. I made many trips to cover the war in Afghanistan & was ambushed on combat patrols with British, Dutch, & US forces. In one ambush an Estonian NATO soldier next to me was shot… channel4.com/news/british-m…

The movement of tectonic plates may take millions of years, but in Northern Ethiopia, you can see it happening in real time. In recent years the Afar region has been hit with earthquakes and volcanic eruptions resulting in huge cracks. It’s the start of a new ocean forming which one day will split Africa in two.

Early morning in Downing Street and it’s just me and Larry… 🐈‍⬛

I was shot at a school shooting at 15. Last night spent locked down at my university while learning of casualties & the many injured. This is not how I imagined life when I was little girl. I miss that carefree child I once was. Thinking of the many affected #BrownUniversity

Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have killed at least 25 people, in one of the worst attacks on the region since a ceasefire was reached. Israel claims its forces were fired upon by gunmen and it targeted Hamas sites in response. More than 300 Palestinians and three Israeli soldiers have been killed since the shaky ceasefire came into force. A warning, this report contains distressing images.

Dozens of extremist Israeli settlers have set fire to Palestinians' vehicles and other property in the West Bank. Israel's military chief insisted such violence would "not be tolerated".
