This actually happened to me once. Albeit a smaller plane, and the copilot stretched out and closed it. But it was pretty windy until then. >>> Inside cabin as plane door opened mid-flight bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-65…

On mat leave listening to BBC on Ukraine invasion. From local details, to asking big questions - will this unite the west? will it inspire other strong countries? - it is brilliant. Thanks - esp to corrs in Kiev, and Ukrainian service. And my colleagues in Newsroom, of course 💛

Best - and funniest - thing I’ve heard in a while. On so many levels. @BBCJonSopel @maitlis.... with special guest @piersmorgan in full showbiz + Trump divorce mode
Really worth listening to the full podcast on
@BBCSounds for our interview and some brilliant Frank Sinatra tribute acts #Americast bbc.in/36287Fk
Unbeknown to me, I just become the first Italian ever (I think!) to get an ID card via the consulate in London. New service, first appointment. Thanks @ItalyinLDN

At 11.24am EST on Saturday morning, CNN projected a Biden victory, Donald Trump played golf and the Trump campaign set up a press conference in a gardening firm's yard by an adult bookstore and a crematorium. This is #FourSeasonsTotalLandscaping from start to finish.

The special relationship thrives on deep links. Boris Johnson can charm many. But after the call I took from Delaware on Friday it’s clear to me he starts from a worse position with Biden than any PM since Major with Clinton in 1992

Ieri in piazza Duomo a Milano la manifestazione dei lavoratori che chiedono alle istituzioni di essere ascoltati. Il movimento #BauliInPiazza ha radunato 1.300 persone tra lavoratori dello spettacolo e imprese che in questo momento versano in grave difficoltà #wemakeevents
Big criticism of White House Covid practices from Mitch McConnell..... could US politicians up for re-election (and his is an interesting race) be thinking about how much Covid matters for voters? bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2…

Accused of being "Covidiots"... but even when people are wearing masks properly, the airlines I've flown since lockdown have food and drink exceptions, so the moment the trolley goes round, the masks come down, the wine goes in, the conversations start bbc.co.uk/news/uk-53970217

Lovely if gruelling read on the impact of covid on families living with dementia
This was difficult to write, but I’m glad that I was able to tell my grandad’s story and put a spotlight on how hard this period has been for so many families.
Thanks to everyone who spoke to me so candidly and beautifully including @JuliaHailes @PhilippaThomson and @HildaHayo

I have the great honor to announce that I’ve picked @KamalaHarris — a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country’s finest public servants — as my running mate.

As the dust settles in Lutsk it is very possible that this video directly lead to all the hostages being released.
Ukraine's interior minister has just confirmed that the gunman left the bus and laid down his gun following negotiations. Then the hostages walked out.
Ukraine's president has just deleted from social media the video of him complying with the gunman's desire that he promote the 2005 film Earthlings.
So if you missed it... I saved it for you...
