Working at @bbcworldservice is something I’m fiercely proud of... reporting for it one day; a long held dream... After 4 glorious days in Italy, last week it happened - my very first BBC World Service package... https://t.co/ddRY7uG6bw

@Camilla_M_Mills wow that’s a lots of shifts

Spent the day talking to people who told me they’ve lost everything, in a fire that is still burning nearly 17 hours on in East London tonight…

@BTP your text number doesn’t work… Abandoned bag on platform 2 Elephant and Castle Overground…

@MHconflicted @BowenBBC Just so much of it I remember watching on TV growing up (I had German measles ther 1st week of the 1st Gulf war and there was nothing else on TV…) and in later years working on… the Syrian war and Arab Spring…

[Kerry Alexandra @KerryAlexandra]

Stumbled across @BowenBBC ‘s Our Man in The Middle East… (having run out of @MHconflicted) Haven’t enjoyed anything this much since I discovered the latter… Talking about his early use of #twitter & I remembered him replying to one of my 1st tweets & how over excited I got 🤣

@vigilidelfuoco Buongiorno sono un giornalista che sta lavorando ad un film su Carrara, e l'impatto minerario sulla comunità, e volevo chiedervi il permesso per utilizzare le vostre riprese delle alluvioni del 2014?

Another remarkably insightful #ijf23 session yesterday. This time on #yeman ‘the unreported rather forgotten war’, the reasons behind it and the effects of it from @Afrahnasser and Laura Silvia Battaglia Al-Jalal #Perugia

[Kerry Alexandra @KerryAlexandra]

Remarkable first session of the festival on surviving and thriving as a female journalist under authoritarian regimes in the Middle East. Really interesting perspectives from @RawanDamen @fatemahfarag #ijf23 #perugia

Slightly eerie atmosphere outside the Chinese embassy this morning as last nights #ChinaProtests candles still burn

[Kerry Alexandra @KerryAlexandra]

Walked headlong into the #ChinaProtests outside the embassy in London tonight on my way into work… #acidentalreporter https://t.co/7FUKtPh5mi

Just nipped out to buy a bottle of wine… Bumped headlong into @NoelGallagher Most exciting wine run of my life…

Galata Bridge - one of the first places I saw when I first visited Istanbul wide-eyed and full of wanderlust, and then a favourite hangout to watch the sunset, when I moved there 3 years later. Wish I was in town to go and see this https://t.co/GZdyxP4knw

@marklowen Dear God I miss them!!

I've just spoken to @bbcnewcastle ahead of bringing my Bill on bowel disease to @UKParliament this afternoon.

My Bill will force Govt to address the hidden epidemic of bowel disease in places like #NewcastleCentral & I'll be bringing local people's stories to the Commons.

Early start to a sad day today

[Kerry Alexandra @KerryAlexandra]

@SLCComms Absolutely ridiculous. 21 years of paying this off every month and you have double charged me and now owe me £200. And I have to keep calling to chase getting it back which seems to be nigh impossible. Absolute joke.

[Kerry Alexandra @KerryAlexandra]

Freelancing and the crazy shifts and turnarounds frequently required to actually push forwards, as well as pay your bills can be a bit isolating sometimes… Was really nice to be back amongst my tribe last night @JSchofieldTrust 🥰
