I’m on holiday at the moment, so just prepping everyone for the right KPI’s when I circle back to being on the same page again. (If you have time and they are coming near you, I highly recommend their live show. They’re finishing at the Ed Fringe tonight and then tour the UK)

Donald Trump: My exclusive wide ranging interview with the President across all BBC platforms in which he criticises Vladimir Putin and says he trusts "almost nobody"

What you see on camera is a fraction of what goes into making TV. Live camera operators, shoot-edit cameramen and women to film and edit pieces, producers to help shape it, wrangle guests and everything in between. This was behind the scenes at the Great Yorks Show for @BBCNews@6

Tradition trumps temperature at the Great Yorkshire Show.

@ENGLISHFUTURES @craigie_b @PoliticsatHull @UniOfHull @HENLEYDARREN End of an era Simon! I still remember walking into your office and it having a poster on the wall which read “66 Was a good year for English football, Eric was born.” Next to a pic of Eric Cantona. Opposite was the Man U squad of 92/93. Now that was a football team.

Clearly a slow news day.

This evening I managed to speak to some of the crew of the oil tanker involved in the collision today. They escaped with pretty much what they had on them. https://t.co/NZ4V920FVa

Who knew. The most bonkers list of cameos I’ve ever seen.

This is so epic

Heartbreaking.

This is what’s left of the Pacific Palisades. The mall survived. Most everything else is gone. Homes, apartment complexes… businesses.

Tomorrow will see a gathering of an exclusive club. All five current and former presidents in National Cathedral in Washington for Jimmy Carter’s funeral. A man who outlived the man he beat to the role, and the man who beat him too. https://t.co/kwSB8UorGc
