A great new role for the very talented and hardworking @aritzparra, and a couple of great upcoming video journalist job opportunities in the @nytimes London team (follow the thread)

[Aritz Parra @aritzparra]

Hola. I’ve been quiet here, but it’s time to share some news.

After 12 intense and very rewarding years at the @AP, I’ve made a significant career (and life) move.

Impressive, beautifully-crafted @Reuters briefing on the huge trade in African donkeys supplying growing Chinese demand for e-jiao https://t.co/rWgVJTnQGa @farahmaster

Very sad to hear that John Vidal, former @guardian environment editor, has died. The few weeks I worked with him made a huge impression - his boundless energy and sense of justice for both people and the planet was truly inspiring. Rest in peace.

@terrefebiruk @FendikaCenter Oh that is really, really sad

Great thread provides some clarity and complexity for all the people who’ve told me they read/saw that Chinese all lived in an episode of Black Mirror, with a simple score allocated to each person for good/bad behaviour

@MariaRepnikova It truly is the best. I’m also very partial to the half-coke-half-ambo mix.

[Yangyang Cheng @yangyang_cheng]

Honored to be on @npratc alongside @MaryGao to discuss the recent protests in China: the cause and implications incl. class and ethno-racial dimensions, why the analogy to Tiananmen is limited, and the significance of political awakening for Chinese youth.

Shocking forensic breakdown of deadly mishandling of migrants trying to cross from #Morocco into #Melilla #Spain in June @BBCAfrica Great work

[BBC News Africa @BBCAfrica]

THREAD

In June, at least 24 African migrants died trying to cross into Europe.

#BBCAfricaEye investigated this horrifying event, unveiling new evidence and painful testimony, contradicting the official version of events.

This is what we found.
