All I can think about is that explosion, the number of deaths just from the port area, the fumes and people in broken homes and apartments with those fumes coming in. This is horrific. Nothing we say can help Beirut but thinking of my friends there tonight.

Love to Lebanon

I’m walking through streets strewn with shattered glass in a black out - with injured people stumbling about and ambulances wailing. Hospital staff pulling bodies out of gutted hospital one of 3 out of commission. The damage is staggering - how will #Lebanon bounce back?

BOOM!!!! Congrats to the whole NHS team that saved him. Wonderful news 👏👏👏

Hi @dutweets I just had a call offering me a free months package of 6GB data plus 150 minutes local calls. Can that be correct?

[Leonie Pitts @leonieash]

@TomGardner18 Good morning. I read your latest story on street children with great interest. Would I be able to email you regarding a story?

[Leonie Pitts @leonieash]

.@DubaiIceRink planning ahead and wanting for book for 8 Dec but the website won’t allow it. Is it me? I can’t find a number to call

[Leonie Pitts @leonieash]

Londoners! Anyone seen if there is anything going on in Jubilee Gardens next to the #londoneye ? Sometimes there is a fairground..?

Always worry the worst when there’s smoke near Dubai high rise. Glad it’s not a building, hope no one is hurt https://t.co/9ldwJmWzM3

Fire breakout near Al Habtoor Hotel gardens. #dubai #fire #dubaimarina #alhabtoor

[Kevin Schofield @KevinASchofield]

But he didn’t publish a story based on an old tweet saying a lorry had crashed into pedestrians, to be fair. https://t.co/zdOaVBHLLC

The tiger on the loose in the 15th arrondissement of Paris has been shot dead on the Pont du Garigliano. He was from a local circus.

What is important is not so much how long you live as whether you live a meaningful life. This doesn’t mean accumulating money and fame, but being of service to your fellow human beings. It means helping others if you can, but even if you can’t do that, at least not harming them.

[Metropolitan Police @metpoliceuk]

Police called at 16:38 to a number of reports of shots fired on #OxfordStreet & underground at Oxford Circus tube station. Police have responded as if the incident is terrorist related. Armed and unarmed officers are on scene and dealing along with colleagues from @BTP

UPDATE: Incident in Exhibition Road, South Kensington https://t.co/vrIDm50DsQ

[Leonie Pitts @leonieash]

@SGHutch @Avis @lucasemilpitts I wonder how many others it has happened to...

[Leonie Pitts @leonieash]

@SGHutch @Avis @lucasemilpitts Amazing! So we're pretty certain it's a scam to accrue interest, or hope that some people don't notice and they just get away with it!

[Leonie Pitts @leonieash]

@SGHutch @Avis @lucasemilpitts They have the biggest queues at airports and worst customer service. Not sure why we used them either!

[Leonie Pitts @leonieash]

@SGHutch @Avis @lucasemilpitts The feeling is mutual! When we called to ask why, they couldn't even answer! Ridiculous!
