Glad to contribute to the BBC’s survey of the millennium’s greatest TV shows — taking just a tiny bit of pride in having been the only respondent to name two different picks on my list: https://t.co/Y2nknMpWs0

Did you know Argentina has cities where Welsh culture is very alive?
They have publicly funded bilingual Welsh schools, something you won't find in England, obviously.
The Welsh community is fully integrated to Argentina and we celebrate their identity.
Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci removing her chador during her tense 1979 interview with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in Qom, Iran...
In October 1979, Italian journalist Oriana Fallaci traveled to Qom, Iran, to interview the Islamic Revolution's supreme leader. To get inside the room, Fallaci was forced to cover herself from head to toe in a heavy black chador, leaving only her face visible.
The conversation inside the room was tense from the very start. Fallaci did not hold back her questions.
She pushed the Ayatollah on political executions, the sudden shutdown of independent newspapers, and the sharp loss of rights for Iranian women under the new regime.
When she asked about the forced wearing of the veil, Khomeini dismissed her concerns and claimed the garment was meant to protect young and respectable women. He then added,
"If you do not like the Islamic dress, you are not obliged to wear it."
Fallaci took his words literally and replied, "Thank you, Mr. Imam. Since you tell me so, I am taking it off right now."
With a quick move, she pulled the chador off her head, leaving her hair completely exposed right in front of the Supreme Leader.
Khomeini was furious.
He stood up without saying another word and walked out of the room. The room fell silent, and the interview was abruptly stopped. However, Fallaci refused to leave Iran until he returned a day later to finish the conversation.
This confrontation became legendary in the history of journalism.
It showed a reporter refusing to bow down to authority, even in one of the most dangerous settings imaginable.
Fallaci proved that real journalism requires standing up to power, asking hard questions, and refusing to be silenced by fear or tradition.
When journalists trade raw courage for easy access and comfortable silence, we lose one of our strongest shields against tyranny.
In an era where true courage in reporting feels rare, her brave stand reminds us that honest journalism still has the power to light up the dark, giving a voice to the voiceless and inspiring future generations to speak truth without fear.

🚨 NOW: Donald Trump is FURIOUS after Ugandan Mayor Mamdani and AOC laughed while 9/11 victims names were read
“It’s TERRIBLE — the fact they laughed together in a VERY important part of the ceremony was inappropriate!”
I think Mamdani should resign. But we all know he will CLING to power and keep pushing his Islamist propaganda
New York is being overrun with foreign voters, which is the prime reason Mamdani got elected!
WAKE UP AND STOP FORGETTING 9/11 🙏🏻
Ahora estamos descubriendo que nos han estado vendiendo “mierda marroquí” en las tiendas y supermercados españoles: frutas, verduras y conservas sin garantías suficientes, frecuentemente contaminadas con pesticidas no aprobados y con restos fecales. Boicot a Marruecos, no solo por razones políticas, sino también por salud.
After @JMilei, I was thrilled to meet another Argentine star on my trip south. Adolfo Cambiaso has been called the “Tom Brady of polo” — the best ever to do it. His La Dolfina polo organization hosted our delegation for a traditional asado lunch and an afternoon of “stick-and-ball,” a gorgeous conclusion to a productive visit to Buenos Aires.
Adolfo is not only a standout athlete, but also a biotech-strategy visionary with traditionalist and futurist streaks — dedicated to the optimized breeding, refinement and propagation of the world’s best polo horses. My conversation with him reminded me of talks I’ve had with professional geneticists. He also cares for his animals like members of an extended family, and it shows.
My visit to the La Dolfina Polo Club highlighted deep horse-culture and sports ties between 🇺🇸 and 🇦🇷 , plus a shared embrace of beauty, excellence, and invention. 🧵 🐎
