Honoured to have met @reflextv at a screening of his documentary at Sheffield documentary festival and shared emails with him. What a magnificent man taken too soon, but a wonderful career highlighting the forgotten. He’s having a smoke and catch up with his beloved Marie now

Rest in peace Paul Conroy.

Rest in peace to the best.
Paul Conroy trained me to be safe before my first time at the front and kept me alive countless times together in Donbas. He is a complete hero and inspiration. The reason I became a frontline journalist. I am utterly devastated by this news. He had the best sense of humour The best taste in music The best storyteller He will always be the best journalist. He may be gone from this earth but his legacy will never be

The Trump/US admin deserve legitimate praise, alongside partners in the region, for the work they've done in trying to get peace in the Middle East. Time for cautious optimism now, but if deals like the Good Friday Agreement can hold, then their is hope for a better future.

Looks like heavy praise is due for GMP firearms officers dealing with a truly horrific situation at a Manchester synagogue. A man has killed two people on Yom Kippur - one of the holiest days in the Jewish faith. The incident is expected to be declared as a terrorist attack.

Counter-terrorism police confirm that the incident is being treated as a terrorist incident. Two further arrests have been made and three other people have been seriously injured and are now in hospital.

Rally held in Leeds by group "Lesbian Strength" while Trans rights supporters held their own counter demo/march. PC Rain was on duty and both groups kept to themselves. More pics: instagram.com/p/DOk_1tzDTHv/… #news #leeds #photojournalist

No matter your politics, that is absolutely sickening. Prayers for the family.

My independent report, as for a FIFTH week running, opposing sides gathered outside the Britannia Hotel in Leeds. Even more flares, an arrest, but none of last weeks chaos. Read the story: instagram.com/p/DNsiWJ02oFw/… #leeds #news

The Home Sec is quoted in @FT as saying PA's proscription didn't prevent protest against "the catastrophic humanitarian situation and crimes against humanity in Gaza”. A N10 official said: “The home secretary was making reference to crimes against humanity in general in Gaza.”

Wondering if this is just a throwaway line without them realising how it sounds or something more, surely as Home Secretary it is your job to be extremely careful with your words. Interesting to see if this is the start of more escalatory criticism against the Israeli Govt.

My independent report, as for a fourth week running, opposing sides gathered outside the Britannia Hotel in Leeds. A change of scenery, 3 counter-protestors arrested in a moment of chaos, and a LOT of flares. Read the story: instagram.com/p/DNae1D5sLy4/… #leeds #news

Why you go for the jury trial I guess… A very lucky escape as the footage wasn’t exactly subtle. Can only imagine this will do wonders for the level of trust in the UK legal system (but ultimately a jury can do what it wants, this one probably should have gone to Specsavers)
