Good morning. Breakfast is live @BBCRadio3 Joan Trimble enjoys the shade of a green bough, C16 Portuguese polyphony from Duarte Lobo, Yunchan Lim plays Chopin, and we remember the great Cornish baritone Benjamin Luxon. Join us live until 9.30 - or listen later @BBCSounds
We condemn the appalling strikes on a supposed 'safe zone' in Rafah.
@UKLabour have opposed an Israeli offensive in Rafah for months. Israel must now comply with the ICJ's orders.
We need an immediate ceasefire to end this war, get all the hostages out and get aid into Gaza.
Every single note on Radio 3 this International Women’s Day is written by a woman.
Join us for live performances, premieres and to learn more about the 10 women composers joining #BBCTenPieces#IWD2024
The kindest words from @lukecombs : « What an unreal Grammy week to say the least. There were so many laughs, tears, hugs, and cheers that it almost doesn’t seem real (…) When it comes to the performance it’s still hard to process how amazing it really was to be up there on that stage. No doubt a defining moment of my career.
Tracy, I want to send my sincerest thanks to you for allowing me to be a part of your moment. Thank you for the impact you have had on my musical journey, and the musical journeys of countless other singers, songwriters, musicians, and fans alike. I hope you felt how much you mean to the world that night. We were all in awe of you up there and I was just the guy lucky enough to have the best seat in the house. »
🥹 Thank YOU for everything!
Declaring war on the poor. In what universe is this anything other than immoral? I have been citing figures like these. Yet again, scarcely can I believe that society would reduce education spending at all, let alone reduce it more for disadvantaged children.
In the UK, nearly 1 in 2 of us will get cancer in our lifetimes.
Cases are rising and wait times are at a near all-time high.
Make sure you join us in calling for political parties to act by backing #LongerBetterLives

🔴 Majority of the UK public believe there should be a #CeasefireNow. We agree.
@RishiSunak & @David_Cameron, it's time to start listening to the British public and call for a #CeasefireNow
A ceasefire is the only way to stop the deadly destruction & get enough aid into #Gaza
On the doorstep people agree with Baroness Casey #bbclaurak - they are feeling a mix of angry and upset
They know the truth - that Britian needs fixing

Boris Johnson's £265,000 Partygate legal fees were funded by the taxpayer but neither the Hillsborough families nor the subpostmasters got legal aid. I do have that right, don't I?
To police investigating Post Office & Fujitsu for unjust prosecutions of postmasters
Anybody who gave evidence that the horizon system was working - when they knew it wasn’t - is, on the face of it guilty of perjury
Anybody that covered it all up, perverted the course of justice
Armando Iannucci, "There's no other country in the world that has had 5 Home Secretaries in five years, 10 Housing Ministers in ten years, 7 Education Ministers in eight years. If that was a company, we'd withdraw our custom because it sounds dodgy" @Aiannucci
On behalf of my brothers, sister, son, nephew, in laws, aunts and uncles working in the NHS - thank you @DrHilaryJones for this clear explanation #DoctorsStrike -
But also the daily abuse they have to put up with. Vocation always comes before money but things have become so stressful that as you say, many #NHS staff, at all levels are thinking of leaving
Politicians must wake up to this crisis
