I can’t wait to explore LGBTQ stories and breaking news from across the world 🏳️‍🌈 🌍

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

Ten years ago, I started my journalism career reporting on LGBTQ lives. So much has changed since then.

What’s giving YOU hope in 2026?

This is what just happened on my CNN show 📺

Yesterday talking with @CNN's @BenInLDN on US options for the use of ground forces in the #IranWar‌ and the challenges of opening the Straits of Hormuz. I also talk about the challenges of shallow missile magazine depth for the US and Israel in terms of missile defence capabilities, and the economic inequity of defeating $20,000 Iranian Shaheds with million dollar missile systems.

[Dr. Mark Shanahan @LeapfrogMark]

Always good to start my week on @CNN and @cnni with @BenInLDN talking Trump, DHS and Iran from @SurreyPolitics at @UniOfSurrey. This could be Trump's most dangerous week yet.

A year of stress and paperwork… 🇺🇸✅

My EB-1 green card is approved. I’m officially a US PERMANENT RESIDENT!

Huge thanks to CNN, Warner Bros Discovery, and my former bosses at the BBC & VICE. Onwards!

"President Trump has entangled the U.S. in a war without a clear objective and no exit strategy... Iran has a collective leadership,... but the IRGC is seizing power." Conversation with Mr. @BenInLDN on @cnni (Atlanta) March 16, 2026.

[Babar Baloch @iBabarBaloch]

In Iran updated estimates from authorities indicated 600,000 to 1 million households leaving homes to seek safety - hoping this is temporary. An average family size of 3.2 people equals up to 3.2 million individuals now displaced inside the country. Our update with @BenInLDN

[Ben Hunte @BenInLDN]

@iBabarBaloch Thank you for being with me, and thank you for your important work! 📺🌍
