Allan Little has written such a moving piece about George Alagiah. https://t.co/8YzMkExWHw

[Peter Biles @peterbiles]

George Alagiah’s passing is such sad news. It was a privilege  to have worked with him and shared countless African experiences, most notably in Lusaka in 1990 on the day after Nelson Mandela walked free. An assignment with George meant working with the best. @BBCAlagiah

That’s #Gallipoli remembered. Ben Wallace and James Cleverly head back to the office to deal with the here and now: Sudan

18 year old Ukrainian volunteers off to war in Kyiv. Three days training and they will be on the front line.

It’s with a heavy heart that we have had to suspend @BBCNews operations in Russia until we assess impact of new laws which outlaw independent journalism. Thoughts with colleagues in Moscow whose voices cannot be silenced for long.

@BBCSteveR @BBCNews @bbcworldservice @BBCRadio3 What about Radio Voice Of The Gospel Addis Ababa?

[Jean-Jacques Cornish @jjcornish]

He did much so more than coin the title The Rainbow Nation. Bishop #DesmondTutu got down and dirty to dig #SouthAfrica's foundations for the new democracy that so disappointed him. He had the most apposite expressions even if is was only a mischievous chuckle. Rest in peace.
