It was an honour for me to play the piano at George Alagiah’s memorial service. Such an emotional, uplifting celebration of his life. Here’s the montage of George at work and at home for which I provided a musical accompaniment.
@Autokefal@BBC_CurrAff@BBCSounds Fair request. But the info is there: Family & Fear of horrors of the front. There was also indignation about the way conscription takes place. But our reporting was based in Romania, an investigative report inside Ukraine could focus on that.
Broadcasters and journalists should challenge ministers who use the term "illegal" immigrants when referring to asylum seekers crossing the Channel in small boats. It is poor journalism not to do so.They may be "unlawful" but they have done nothing illegal. Why not say so?

I thank the beloved Hungarian people for their welcome and the affection I have experienced in these days. I entrust all Hungarians to Our Lady. Grateful for these days, I keep you in my heart and ask you to pray for me. Isten áld meg a magyart!
In remarkable sermon @Pontifex asked audience to open the doors closed to ‘migrants and the poor’. Italian: ‘migrante, povero.’ Disappointingly translated as ‘menekültek’ = refugees
This is interesting in the context of stuff the other day linking the decline in Christianity in the UK to immigration. I don't think I've ever seen a top level white British footballer speak so frankly about religion.
