I’m feeling a little overwhelmed. There is SO much love and support for @BBCHARDtalk from round the 🌍. Thank you from all of the team. We’re down, but we’re not out. There is a huge appetite for intelligent, longform interviews and journalism, even if some people doubt it 👊

6. As for me, from foreign correspondent to HARDtalk inquisitor, I’ve been enormously fortunate to pursue my journalism within the BBC. I know how much HARDtalk has been valued by viewers and listeners all over the world. It’s been my privilege to be a small part of their lives.

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 BBC🧵
