I’m celebrating (if that’s quite the right word) the 60th anniversary of my arrival at the BBC in 1996. Tomorrow (Tues) at 9 pm BBC Two will mark it with a documentary, which will then be available on iPlayer. It’s been made by the brilliant Simon Lister, and does me proud.

This Syrian old man hid his private library in his home in the city of Damascus since the end of 2011 before escaping to Kuwait out of fear of the Assad regime, where the mere presence of a banned book could lead you to Assad's gulag and death under torture.
Today, the uncle returned to his library and completely removed the wall behind which he had hidden it, revealing valuable books that the Assad regime prohibited possessing and circulating.
This quiet corner of England looking quite splendid today, punctuated by these boldly vivid wild Chicory.

🧵: I debated posting this thread, but after a lot of reflection, I feel compelled to share. On Saturday afternoon, I was in the children's section of a local bookstore. Luckily, I was there. I noticed an older man talking to a young female employee at the front desk. 1/10 – at Winnipeg, Manitoba

New York’lu psikiyatrist Rami Kaminski, yeni bir kişilik yapısını tanıttı:
"Otrovert" adını verdiği kişilik dışarıdan sosyal görünen ama tekrar normal hissetmek için çok fazla yalnız kalmaya ihtiyacı olan biri. Gerektiğinde konuşabilirler, gülebilirler ve etkileşime geçebilirler ama çok fazla etkileşimde bulunmaları onları tüketir.
Antisosyal değiller sadece farklı şekilde şarj olurlar. İnsanlarla birlikte olmak ile kendi enerjilerini korumak arasında sessiz bir denge kurarlar.

Public order training, much like hostile environment/ first aid training is pretty standard for the BBC, ITN and other news organisations. Staff who may encounter disorder on their beat are often sent on this course. It's not unusual...
🔴 EXCLUSIVE: The BBC has ordered staff travelling to the World Cup to undergo special training in anticipation of rioting in the United States, Canada and Mexico

One of our best journalists - let go by the @washingtonpost with many others
Termination day. A lay-off is a funny thing. 10 years of your life and then someone just cuts the bungee cord, without a thank you, goodbye, or even a chance to bid farewell to the constellation of colleagues who inhabited your world all that time. I’m grateful for all the opportunities the Washington Post gave me, and for the friends I made along the way. Onwards.

The targeting of journalists, no matter their affiliation or editorial view, is a war crime. It shouldn't need to be said time and time again.
We spoke to reporter Zaynab Faraj, who survived a triple-tap attack that killed her colleague, Amal Khalil.
She described how an Israeli strike first hit a car ahead of them, killing two civilians, before a second strike targeted their own vehicle, severely injuring Amal. Ms Faraj said she helped her into an empty house, where they lay wounded and terrified, waiting for help.
A third Israeli strike then hit the building where they were hiding, collapsing it on top of them.
“Amal was gone,” Ms Faraj said. “And I was left alone.”
Throughout the ordeal, the journalists made repeated calls for help. But Israel prevented the Lebanese Army and the Lebanese Red Cross from reaching them, informed sources told us.
