One of the great broadcasters. One of the big personalities. One of the most consummate pros. One of the funniest people in the industry, whose bulls-eye wit was often directed at our industry. You’ll be missed @BBCSimonMcCoy

Tissues ready, it's @BBCSimonMcCoy's last day.



Last sunset goodbye 2020 @beirut @lebanon Welcome 2021

Beirut is a city of a thousand aftermaths. Four months on from the explosion, we looked at the story of one, The Orient Queen, Lebanon's only cruise liner. it was 500m from the explosion in the port.

My incredibly strong wife @anchalvohra found another emotional way to tell me „I told you to never to take off your wedding ring.“ Thank you @thesundaytimes I got the message.

Lost wedding rings, a bloody teddy bear, and a sense of gloom seeps through Beirut. @anchalvohra doesn't remember the Blast, but she has been wrestling with the fallout. thetimes.co.uk/edition/world/…

UNESCO commits to rebuilding 40 schools affected by #BeirutBlast and will organize a conference of donor nations in September to support reconstruction/preservation of heritage buildings, director @AAzoulay says in Beirut. At least 60 are at risk of collapse.

A lovely piece of writing on what should have been his wedding day ...

Today was meant to be my wedding day. Then Covid-19 happened - but that won’t stop me delivering my speech. Charge your glasses: bbc.com/news/stories-5…

Lebanon’s security forces are handing out masks to Beirut protesters. The renewed protests come as lockdown & nighttime curfew continue, but the cause is the collapsing lira, not covid.

US sanctions are hitting the most vulnerable hardest. I met Mohammed who suffers from a rare genetic disorder. He can walk but is too weak to carry his school bag.

INSIDE THE FORMER US EMBASSY. Relations between the US and Iran are complex – and poisonous. Nowhere was that clearer than at the former US embassy in Tehran where we met a top official who was involved in the hostage crisis 40 years ago. bbc.com/news/av/world-…
