@austeni @BBCMaryam I feel slightly bereft. Top notch coverage. I could have tuned in for many more hours listening to the endlessly insightful commentary

[Jonathan Farmer @jonathanlfarmer]

If I hadn’t been a Latin Americanist I would have loved to have been a Vaticanologist but delighted to see my wife @bbcmaryam excelling in that role now!

[Maryam Moshiri @BBCMaryam]

Mesmerising performance of Beethoven’s Ninth by @auroraorchestra @bbcproms. Absolute privilege to witness it. No sheet music in sight! Extended standing ovation so deserved

@BBCMaryam @Bobby_Seagull @ChelseaFC Daughter excelled herself. Muted celebrations and consolation hugs after it went beyond 3-0 🤣

[Jonathan Farmer @jonathanlfarmer]

@BBCMaryam @ChelseaFC Well, one of us left happy! 🤪

The BBC’s new worldwide ad campaign has just dropped. ( and I’m in the same sentence as these legends!!)

“Featured throughout the campaign are some of the BBC’s renowned journalists, including Jeremy Bowen, Orla Guerin, Maryam Moshiri, Clive Myrie, and Amol Rajan.” 👏🏽 @bbcstudios @BBCStudiosPress @BBCWorld

[Maryam Moshiri @BBCMaryam]

Highly recommend @3body on @netflix

Not because it involves a countdown, but because I’m actually in it ( albeit for a short moment!) 😂

Always fun to play yourself on screen! #3BodyProblem #BBCNews

Nothing like having your hat thrown into the ring for the role of 007 by your wife live on air @BBCMaryam

[Maryam Moshiri @BBCMaryam]

Paging the Bond producers - ‘ Geeky Bond’ aka my husband @jonathanlfarmer is keen! !

[Jonathan Farmer @jonathanlfarmer]

Loved 4-part Carthage series @TheRestHistory. The Phoenicians may not have reached the Americas but all over Latin America now! Always wondered about etymology of Spanish names Aníbal, Amílcar and Asdrúbal. Carthaginians spreading to Iberia presumably explains it?

[Maryam Moshiri @BBCMaryam]

I spoke to the President of the @RESCUEorg , @DMiliband on my new show ‘The World Today’ and asked him what he thought of Britain’s standing in the world.

Thanks @Mandy_Segall for organising this.

#EleccionesElSalvador2024 #NayibBukele claims thumping victory to become first head of state to serve second straight term since Hernández Martínez dictatorship nearly a century ago. Vast popularity for improving security but at what expense?

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

If someone told you only a few weeks ago that Iran would be at war, you would have guessed Israel, the US, or perhaps Saudi Arabia; not Pakistan.
It is very, very hard to keep in mind that we're not good at predicting & even harder to incorporate it into a general policy.

[Jonathan Farmer @jonathanlfarmer]

@nazaninemoshiri Really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much
