🇻🇳 In July I carried my brother’s ashes to our family pagoda in Saigon — a final thank you for the life we shared. 🗺️ “Vietnam: Return to Banana Garden Market” is available now on @BBCNews. 📺 Watch it here: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00… #TravelDocumentary #Vietnam #TravelShow

@skatefan78 @BBCMaryam Thank you! 😆 It’s remarkable to me that Barnaby was asleep immediately before this and went to sleep immediately afterwards. He was only awake long enough to cause some trouble 😹

@willyleeadams @BBCMaryam Barnaby's always been a 🌟! He wanted his BBC moment like the viral moment in 2017 when Professor Robert Kelly's kids crashed his interview 😆

It's been a few days since my cat Barnaby crashed this BBC interview with Maryam Moshiri about Eurovision Canada. Still not sure if he's for their participation or not! 🐱🇨🇦 @BBCMaryam #Eurovision

Why did four countries quit Eurovision? I joined BBC World News America anchor @CarlNasman to discuss how political pressure, public voting, and Israel’s participation shaped the decision. #eurovision #eurovision2026 youtu.be/WKWyWsiq17U

🌏 The Miss Universe drama somehow got worse. Is this the pageant's breaking point? 🇨🇦 Great to chat with @NatStechyson from @CBCNews about how allegations of vote rigging and those two arrest warrants have tarnished the crown. cbc.ca/news/world/mis…

👑 Tears, resignations and Instagram-post apologies. We take a look at Miss Mexico's walkout and the business battle that sparked the most controversial Miss Universe pageant ever. #MissUniverse #BBCWorldService youtube.com/watch?v=8rX6rE…

How realistic are Canada's prospects of joining the Eurovision Song Contest? I checked in with @willyleeadams of fansite @wiwibloggs, as well as the Canadian producer who's behind the "Eurovision Canada" pitch, to see where we stand. My story: thecanadianpressnews.ca/business/how-r…
