@JonathanAspinw1 @BBCTwo @BBCNews @BBCiPlayer Congratulations Jonathan!

This is gutting news. Jamie’s documentary, which follows Vovan and his unit on the front lines in Ukraine is incredibly powerful, essential viewing if you want to understand what life is like for the people fighting this war.

[Jamie Roberts @visitjamie]

Vovan, the central figure in our @BBC film 'Ukraine: Enemy in the Woods' has been killed alongside 5 comrades in a Russian tank attack. A kind, genuine soul who cared deeply for his men. Rarely seen without a smile. He leaves behind a wife & two sons. Rest in peace Vovan.

Iran has its finger in a lot of pies…. Air strikes, proxy wars, threats to the US and Israel over Gaza. So what’s it thinking? We try to find out in this episode of BBC’s podcast The Global Story. With @BBCkatyaadler @bbclysedoucet and @BBCParham https://t.co/f0PYEHFEv1

The problem with writing obituaries and trying to sum up a person as prolific as Norman Jewison is that some important things get left out. Like his status as the godfather of Canadian filmmaking and founder of @cfccreates

[Peter Goffin @PeterGoffin]

I had the honour of writing BBC’s obituary for Norman Jewison. I’ve always loved In the Heat of the Night but I don’t think I ever appreciated his amazing range. He made Thomas Crown Affair, Fiddler on the Roof, Rollerball, Moonstruck — all completely different, all truly iconic

Bernardo Arevalo was sworn in as president of Guatemala this week. It’s been a long 5 months since his election win. His opponents have tried to ban his party, and even have him killed. Here’s the first part of my report in the BBC Global News Podcast.

Well, that’s one way to end Newsnight

Kim Jong Un has told North Koreans it’s their duty to have more kids and “strengthen national power”. For BBC, I looked at the reasons NK’s population is shrinking, and why the West is less worried about its own falling fertility rates.

@AlicePorterTV @samaritans This is so amazing. Well done Alice!

Today is #IndigenousPeoplesDay in the US, and 1 year since I produced and co-hosted a special Indigenous Peoples edition of BBC’s Global News Podcast. I’m so grateful to the Indigenous leaders, artists, and advocates who contributed from around the world https://t.co/rZIfC7CCKS

My job at BBC today: Explain Manitoba to a world audience. Social Studies didn't prepare me for this.

[Peter Goffin @PeterGoffin]

We've made it! In case you needed another reason to listen to BBC's Happy Pod - made by the same amazing team that does the Global News Podcast - our latest episode features the one and only Susie Dent.

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

The Happy Pod turns out to be very happifying indeed. It’s a reminder of the good news that flies below the radar, and it was a pleasure to add some joyful words too. https://t.co/4QK3MFjBVJ

I was just in Berlin for BBC, visiting a gallery that showcases ancient and modern East Asian art. @TheFeuerle is also home to an indoor lake and ceremonial incense room. It has to be seen, smelled and heard to be believed. Here’s some of my story.
