Exclusive: As Trump pushed for Gaza deal, he’s also pushed for the Nobel peace prize which is announced tomorrow (though nominations closed months ago). For the first time, we’ve been given access to Norwegian Nobel committee as it met to choose. My piece: bbc.com/news/articles/cg5ejm…

Donald Trump has been on a crusade for the Nobel Peace Prize for years (not least since Obama got it). Today's Gaza deal will be too late to swing the Norwegian Nobel Committee, who've granted us exclusive access for first time ever. Our report, with @Liamweir14 @annieduncanson

On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt made a series of claims about the BBC's coverage of events in Gaza on Sunday. We've looked at the claims - and the number of misrepresentations and untruths that they contained. bbc.co.uk/news/videos/c9wgq9…

We’ve just watched as furious crowds surrounded Spain’s King and Prime Minister, visiting the worst-hit area near Valencia, shouting “resign” and hurling mud at them. Extraordinary show of anger and defiance by people who feel abandoned by the authorities
One week to go - @CaitrionaPerry @SumiSomaskanda will lead the results coverage across BBC News from our D.C. studio. They’ll be joined by @KattyKay_ @CFraserBBC @CliveMyrieBBC with @AnnaHolford @adamplevy editing the 10 hour special.

Fitting tributes to the sad news regarding the peerless Roger Law. For those not in the news business, you would have never heard of Roger. But he was as pivotal and consequential to the most important BBC journalism as anyone in the organisation. Thoughts with Roger’s family.
