French researchers Cécile #Kohler and Jacques #Paris were released from prison in #Iran after being held since 2022 on charges of espionage for the French state they refute. President #Macron "welcomes this first step" but diplomatic obstacles ahead, as I explained on @bbcpersian

Ravi de pouvoir animer à nouveau à cette 19e édition des @LesAssises du journalisme ici à #Tours. Un panel, traitant un sujet à la fois passionnant et critique - les atteintes aux #journalistes #environnementaux ... que ce soit en #France, ou à l'étranger.

A social media ban for under-15s got senatorial approval in #France yest., but with amendments to the bill-not quite in law yet. Its impact is getting other Eu. countries talking, like Ireland. Spoke to @ShaneBeattyNews on @NTBreakfast this morning➡️ link.goloudplayer.com/s/pGBVb6jxXLzo

A social media ban in France, a first in Europe after #Australia and #Indonesia? That was the debate today in the upper house and it's got a lot of chat over here. Talked it through on @SkyNews earlier with @JayneSeckerSky #socialmediaban #France youtu.be/r9wHNl7MAvU

#Paris votes to retain leftwing #mayor and it's not the only big city to do so in France as results came in last night municipal runoffs - watched closely ahead of 2027 #presidentials. Here's how it all happened on the ground last night for @France24_en youtu.be/Y8ClDGw-pzw?si…

#France enters round 2 of #local #elex today. While local is the operative word, it's being watched closely ahead of next year's #presidentials, notably after the mergers and alliances that form between the two rounds. Catch me reporting live from Paris for @France24_en all night

A personal piece in @heraldscotland on how I came to learn about Dunblane, and how the school community in which I was educated helped heal wounds we didn't know we had. In print Saturday. #Dunblane

"A Hymn to Life: Shame has to change sides" #Gisèle #Pelicot's #memoir is being released internationally today in 22 langs. She waived her anonymity, making the 2024 #trial of her husband and 50 other men, charged of rape and sexual assault, public and followed the world over.

🎙 #MédiasEnSeine Ce matin, @SibyleVeil, présidente-directrice générale de @radiofrance, participait ce matin à la table ronde "Dans un paysage médiatique et politique polarisé, quelles responsabilités pour le service public ?" "Fournir une information honnête, fiable, pluraliste et indépendante ; contribuer à la cohésion nationale avec des moments et des récits fédérateurs, créateurs de commun ; assurer la diffusion des connaissances pour favoriser l’émancipation des citoyens : ce sont les valeurs du service public qui sont au cœur de nos médias. "

Les journalistes du service public sont ils partisans ? @SibyleVeil entame la conversation lors du panel @MediasEnSeine : « Dans un paysage médiatique et politique polarisé, quelles responsabilités du service public ? @jsmithmaillet @RTBFinfo @iciradiocanada @sverigesradio

@SallyBundockBBC A pleasure joining you again.

Thanks Jamie for getting up early!
