1/2 So yesterday, a beautiful heron flew into my house. I live in central London & couldn’t believe what was happening. It was injured and a couple of crows were trying to attack it. The RSPCA don’t have an out of hours phone line, so I had to figure out what to do.

Orlov is the leader of Memorial, the unique, revered, Nobel-prize winning historical and human rights society, the group that did more to tell the true history of the Soviet Union than any other

People in Moscow today lining up to lay flowers for Navalny, the only form of silent protest the state will tolerate today. You can see how shell-shocked they are

[Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office @FCDOGovUK]

Alexei Navalny dedicated his life to exposing the corruption of the Russian system.

The UK has summoned the Russian Embassy to make clear we hold the authorities responsible for his death.

There must be a credible and transparent investigation.

Meanwhile tonight, at the memorial to Boris Nemtsov - murdered beside the Kremlin in February 2015 - men in hoods scoop up all the flowers & tributes

Police officers stand by & watch

Volunteers have been keeping watch over the shrine for almost 9 yrs, come rain, snow or shine

“Why are we listening to him? There are 140 million of us!” Says a woman who survived the siege of Leningrad #Russia.

[Phil Tinline @phil_tinline]

Agog at the notion that the only form of guilt is breaking the law.

This should be a watershed. Who else in public life or senior leadership hears their own way of thinking here?

There's a whole culture of impunity that needs to be taken on and defeated or we won't recover.

At Euston station... What does it contain?

[Torsten Bell @TorstenBell]

I’m sadder than words can say. Alistair Darling was a great man, but never expected to be treated as one. A man who always felt the weight of the huge decisions that public service involves, but was still able to take them - even in the darkest of economic times

#Halloween moon. Tonight’s waning full moon resembled a giant jack o’ lantern as rose over #London. From Richmond Park (10 miles distance from the skyline) on an 800mm lens to give this perspective with no image manipulation
