Selling children to survive: Afghan fathers forced to make impossible choices in the face of hunger and poverty aggravated by aid cuts. I don’t post much these days but this story from @yogital needs to be told. Also, beautifully shot. https://t.co/fzf9Cb7hoU

Looking forward immensely to hearing @MishaGlenny take over the legendary In Our Time. I still remember him introducing me to Serbian politics over breakfast in Belgrade.

Melvyn Bragg gives advice to journalist Misha Glenny, who is taking over as presenter of Radio 4’s In Our Time in January, and talks about the lasting impact of the programme on listeners.

@Marthakearney All the best, Martha! NB really enjoyed the item on slugs. I have to confess that I dealt with 184 slugs and snails in our garden on the Norfolk-Suffolk border sometime around midnight last night. You don’t want to know how.

@EdThomasNews @RebeccaWearn @stefildes I started out as a journalist on Evening Gazette in Middlesbrough more than 30 years ago. People were funny and warm, even with the highest unemployment in Britain. So much looks the same now but the drugs, knives and shoplifting new. This is an excellent and shocking report.
