As a kid I loved listening to the BBC World Service (on 648 kHz I think). For a 10-year-old from Chingford it was a very special window on the world. So, for World Radio Day, I play some classic @bbcworldservice signature tunes. #WorldRadioDay

"The level of danger for journalists operating in #Gaza right now is absolutely unprecedented. This is the most dangerous conflict for journalists that CPJ has ever documented, & we've been...documenting attacks against journalists for 30 years." CPJ's @jodieginsberg on @BBC ⬇️

Rushdi’s been displaced 4 times with his wife and children. I’ve been on this street with him in the past as he’s picked up his twin girls. Now he’s living in a tent. He’s still working. You can hear the bombardment. Gaza is a place whose people cannot flee war.

This is why the BBC World Service is so important.

It's the deadliest period for journalists covering conflict since the Committee to Protect Journalits began documenting journalist deaths in 1992. Learn more about who they were and how they died: cpj.org/2023/10/journa…

"Not a grain of wheat, not a drop of water." @UNRWA's @JulietteTouma says water is running out for Gaza's 2.2 million people and they're "on the verge" of closing their facilities bbc.in/3M4rimO

In Gaza, hundreds of thousands of people are living without food, water & essential supplies. @WFP's emergency operations could provide a vital lifeline to 800,000+ people, but borders must be kept open & protected.

@seandilleyNEWS I’m sorry you have to put up with this x

Thread: a mix of some of the abusive messages I’ve had about my eyes in the past 12 hours why am I sharing these? I think it’s important to understand that this exists Frankly, I’m just pleased to be on-screen enough to be noticed, and for this type of abuse to be challenged

@ManuelaSaragosa 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

There’s always this implicit assumption that single parent kids perform worse than their dual-parent peers on educational attainment. Well sod that. Both my kids absolutely smashed their results & am celebrating with some happy, deep bass music 💪💪 youtube.com/watch?v=I1xneK…

@ThatDavidHarper What a brave thing to do. You’re a brilliant colleague and we are so lucky to have you as part of the team x
