Once in a while, something stops you in your tracks. "My final message to you is whatever your personal battle be brave and face it. Every single day is precious. Don’t waste a moment. In a world full of adversity we must still dare to dream. Rob Burrow, over & out."

Today is #InternationalWomensDay, and this year’s theme is ‘Give to Gain.’ To celebrate, we're shining a light on the women leading the way across the Parkinson’s community, from community initiatives and frontline care to groundbreaking research.

The strength and role of Ukrainian women are not about just one day. They are about all 365 days of the year. Ukrainian women defend the country, wait for their loved ones and support them, raise children amid difficult wartime conditions, create, research, rescue, teach, and heal. Thank you for your determination, leadership, care, and professionalism. Thank you for everything you do every day.

@VitalyBBC You are missed. Your important reporting is missed. The humanity with which you all approached your work is missed. Thankyou. I hope for the day that #ukrainecast returns.

All I can say is a HUGE word of thanks to our listeners - for tuning in, and for their messages of appreciation. With Ukrainecast gone, I will continue reporting about this awful war on other BBC platforms. bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

@BoggianoRachael Welcome back super girl xx

I’ve spent 6 months in Norway through the winter… just landed in the UK. Why is it fucking freezing here?! Huh?????

Listen back to our Artistic Director, Mark Babych speaking with BBC Radio 5 Live by playing this video with sound on. 🎧 "Anybody that has seen Rob perform live on stage at any point, will know what a powerhouse of an actor he is." #Hullywood #Hull #HTT #RobAramayo #ISwear

@VitalyBBC @vicderbyshire @bbclysedoucet @FrankRGardner please come back with #ukrainecast We need you #slavaukraini

Today marks exactly four years since Putin started his three-day push to take Kyiv. And that says a great deal about our resistance, about how Ukraine has fought all this time. Behind those words stand millions of our people, immense courage, incredibly hard work, endurance, and the long path Ukraine has been pursuing since February 24. Looking back at the beginning of the invasion and reflecting on today, we have every right to say: we have defended our independence, we have not lost our statehood; Putin has not achieved his goals. He has not broken Ukrainians; he has not won this war. We have preserved Ukraine, and we will do everything to secure peace and justice. Glory to Ukraine!

Courage. Endurance. Dignity. Humanity. Loss. #slavaukraini

Am amazing day with incredible women. With thanks to @FightingFitFoo1 and @BerkoLadiesFC for their support and positivity #herecomethegirls instagram.com/reel/DTEDN1sDY…

Bit of a storm tonight at home.

“Talk of peace doesn’t automatically translate into the end of a war.” Our latest @BBCNews report from Moscow. Producer @BBCBenTavener

So it’s come to this: the USA has backed Russia’s demands and is now negotiating Ukraine’s surrender on Putin’s behalf (because he won’t talk to Zelensky). Calling those demands a ‘peace plan’ and security guarantees ‘reliable’ can’t disguise the true nature of what is happening.

Tomorrow, 6pm — Parliament debates the Parky Charter. Thank you to Jas Athwal and MP Wes Streeting for their continued support Tune in and stand with the Parkinson’s community. youtube.com/live/JShKcoB1b… #ParkyCharter #Parkinsons #UKPolitics #HealthAdvocacy @Jas_Athwal @wesstreeting
