The end of an era - After almost a century we said goodbye this morning to our great companion of the airwaves Radio 4 198 LW. I shall miss her warmth and crackle. Here’s the final sign off at the end of #theshippingforecast before she fell silent… ❤️ – at London, England

It’s never been more difficult to contact people inside Iran, with the internet outage and threats by the authorities. But today I woke up to several messages from those inside about what they thought of Trump’s threat to attack Iran’s electricity infrastructure.

I'm being asked by many users how they can verify images and videos of the conflict in the Middle East, including many fakes that are going viral. This is a thread I wrote exactly three years ago with a step-by-step guide on verifying online images that anyone can learn to do.

📣 Some news about me: Yesterday (Wednesday) I was detained by police in Istanbul, held for 17 hours and then deported from Turkey to the UK. Told I was “a threat to public order”. In the country I lived in - and love. Journalism is not a crime. Here’s the BBC’s statement:

I too was on another boat that almost sank in the Red Sea. There was a coverup, the captain didn’t call the emergency services they waited for one of their own boats to rescue us. They even covered the name of the boat so know one would know what boat it was!

These scenes from Syria’s notorious Sednaya Prison will haunt the world, and there’s still many more levels, hidden cells and torture rooms being uncovered. Many traumatised prisoners being freed, including women and children.

Wonderful to see my good friend and BBC colleague, Lina Sinjab, reporting from the streets of her own city after years of exile. Revolutions are enthralling, heady things. What happens afterwards is sometimes less good. We can only hope.

The fate of the Assad regime is in the balance tonight - fighting in Damascus, possible coup attempt - rebel gains in Aleppo, Hama & many other areas of north - Bashar al-Assad may remain in Moscow, although there are suggestions a Russian flight brought him back this evening

the Israeli defence forces have just said that there will no longer be military aircraft on a "rescue mission" to Amsterdam. It had been claimed they would leave after the violence in the city last night after the Maccabi/Ajax game
