Some personal news: after almost 20 years at the BBC, I am leaving for a new and exciting opportunity at @opinion where I will be talking, thinking, writing and broadcasting about politics and policy in the APAC region, with a special focus on China. I'm thrilled and more on..

Heading back to London after visiting the BBC’s teams in Ukraine. We’ve deployed journalists from around the world to cover this conflict. They get to go home after their tour. The BBC’s Ukrainian journalists are living this story in a visceral way. Their resilience is remarkable

World class reporting from ⁦@sommervilletv⁩ Along with cameraman Darren Conway they’re the first journalists to be at the frontline with the Ukrainian army. https://t.co/hECrtsf9RN

Andrew North is working for the UN in Kabul. He is a former colleague and a respected journalist. All inquiries about his situation, which his friends and colleagues are obviously concerned about, should be directed to the UN.

Due to no media, no reporting by citizens & a suffocating atmosphere corruption, crime & atrocities aren't well exposed. As an example 9 citizens of western countries hv been kidnapped amongst them Andrew North of BBC & Peter Juvenal owner of Gandomak Restaurant. Talibs r liars.

Today we have announced the appointment of @AleemMaqbool - currently based in Washington - as Religion Editor for @BBCNews. Aleem is a hugely thoughtful reporter and analyst - the ideal skills for this important role.

.@AP journalists spent months reviewing every potential case of voter fraud in the six battleground states disputed by former President Trump. They found fewer than 475 — a number that would have made no difference in the 2020 presidential election.

What does it mean to die of starvation? What does that look like? A parent forced to do the unthinkable - sell their child. This report will be a hard watch. But I don’t have the words to express the scale of what’s unfolding in #Afghanistan. ⁦ https://t.co/o0d2w7GWHI

Polls show over 50% of Iowa caucus goers tonight say they’re liberals. That’s bad news for Biden. If he comes 4th or 5th it’s not politically terminal but it could be financially crippling if donors think they’re wasting their money. And having no money then kills your campaign

[Paul Danahar @BBCDanahar]

though, for a change, nobody died.
