Hi from London! (Yes, I am eventually coming home to DC!)

I want to share a bit more about our new podcast The Global Story. And why I think it’s so special. And hope you will too (once you listen!)

@vali_nasr @OmarWaraich Just finished reading this! It was superbly written.

I traveled with @ArletteBashizi to Mongbwalu, the gold mining town at the epicenter of the Ebola outbreak that is sweeping northeastern Congo. This is what we found.

"Chinese officials told The Times they acted against @vwang3, a China correspondent for the paper since 2020, in response to the appearance by video of Taiwan’s president at a Times DealBook summit in New York in December; Wang played no role in the event" https://t.co/l6vxry2T2L

I appreciate the continuing coverage of women/miscarriage/abortion from ProPublica … long after the political headlines may have died down.

[Charles Ornstein @charlesornstein]

This is just crushing. Emily Waldorf was denied care for a risky miscarriage due to Arkansas’ abortion ban, even after she met the hospital’s CEO, called the governor’s office and got a lawyer. https://t.co/zAKc0rol3s

Around 8,000 bodies are still believed buried in the Gaza rubble. There's one working excavator for bodies and no DNA testing available in the territory. Another powerful story by NPR's Anas Baba. https://t.co/BJuYXsD0ud

[Duaa Eldeib @deldeib]

This was a hard story to report.

At the morgue, the babies were brought in with their diapers and blankets and with their hospital ID bracelets still wrapped around their tiny ankles.

Three months later, this is my last @washingtonpost story — delayed because nearly everyone involved in it was laid off. I am very grateful to newsroom friends who made sure it published anyway, and to brave Roman Mongold and his family for their time.
