    We are all so proud of the work @annaefoster is doing at the epicentre of this earthquake - working solo without a crew, using only her iPhone to newsgather and do lives into programmes - supported by Berkan - a Turkish taxi driver.
    If you heard me on @BBCr4today this morning, here is wonderful taxi driver Berkan. The two of us travelled together to the epicentre of #TurkeyEarthquake in Maras, using the car for shelter and broadcasting with just my phone. Here he is lighting me for #BBCNewsTen last night.

    Such incredible tributes to @esmewren as we prepare to welcome her to ITN as Editor of Channel 4 News. She will lead our brilliant team to further success and editorial excellence. And her arrival will mean all 3 of ITN’s newsrooms are led by women 😀

    Emily’s loss is too cruel to comprehend. She was kind and compassionate and so very talented. But more than that she was a mother, a wife, a daughter and a beautiful person in every way. So many hearts are broken to know that she has gone.
    We are devastated at the passing of our remarkable colleague Emily Morgan. Emily was a hugely talented journalist and a much-loved friend and mentor to so many here. She will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with Emily’s family. Statement: itn.co.uk/media-centre/e…

    Thanks and congrats to the BBC Verify team on the first day of our new operation. Thanks also to all our BBC News programmes and platforms who have supported the Verify team and the important work they’re doing. Sharing Mariana’s great introduction on BBC Breakfast ….
    Welcome to BBC Verify! I chatted to BBC Breakfast about it. Everything from interrogating social media feeds using undercover accounts and investigating real-world impact of mistruths, hate and conspiracy movements to piecing together what’s happening with satellite imagery.
