This is a first for me. Two (!) @britpodawards nominations for ‘Dead Man Running’. Absolutely delighted to see a podcast our wee team worked so tirelessly on named alongside so many big hitters. It’s great to see other @BBCScotland pods in there too, including ‘Who Killed Emma?’.
Our latest investigation is showing right now on BBC1 Scotland or is on iPlayer. The stories of these women, who’ve decided they’ll stay silent no longer, should be heard

BBC STATEMENT
"The claim the BBC took down a story after reviewing footage is completely wrong. We did not remove any story and we stand by our journalism.
"Our news stories and headlines about Sunday's aid distribution centre incident were updated throughout the day with the latest fatality figures as they came in from various sources. These were always clearly attributed, from the first figure of 15 from medics, through the 31 killed from the Hamas-run health ministry to the final Red Cross statement of ‘at least 21’ at their field hospital. This is totally normal practice on any fast-moving news story.
"Completely separately, a BBC Verify online report on Monday reported a viral video posted on social media was not linked to the aid distribution centre it claimed to show. This video did not run on BBC news channels and had not informed our reporting. Conflating these two stories is simply misleading.
"It is vital to bring people the truth about what is happening in Gaza. International journalists are not currently allowed into Gaza and we would welcome the support of the White House in our call for immediate access."
Great to see our film, Catching A Killer: The Murder of Emma Caldwell, nominated for an RTS.
Exceptional journalism led by Sam Poling, Eamon O Connor and @ShelleyJofre.

There's been some spectacular videos coming out of Syria today showing where the drug Captagon appears to have been made at industrial quantities. I spoke to BBC News about the multi-billion $ trade and the regime's involvement.
