THREAD: 1. PERSONAL NEWS: Today BBC News has announced plans to close @BBCHARDtalk after 3 decades holding the world’s politicians and powerbrokers to account. This is sad news for me personally, but much more important, I think it’s depressing news for the BBCđŸ§”

Triumphant Assad rides out the storm - the man who broke his country to cling on to power is welcomed back into the fold. And as @BowenBBC reports, those who fled his regime in terror now have even more to fear. With @colmonews and @GhassanBBC bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-

So many brilliant, driven, kind and good people are losing their jobs at VICE today and it’s terribly painful to see. VICE News Tonight has done best-in-class, groundbreaking work for years; it’s a devastating loss for the industry at large.
