    For those asking about Nick Witchell - he’s absolutely fine. Highly unusually for Nick he lost his train of thought on the #BBCNewsTen and decided to hand back to the studio. This can happen sometimes even to the most experienced and respected in busy live news broadcasting.

    For those wondering - simple human error at end of #BBCNewsSix. A production mistake meant pictures used earlier to tease story about Biggin Hill ended up in our top story recap at close of show. If and when it happens pretty certain PM not travelling to Brussels like this.

    In tonight’s coverage of the death of Kobe Bryant on #BBCNewsTen we mistakenly used pictures of LeBron James in one section of the report. We apologise for this human error which fell below our usual standards on the programme.

    Top work by @BBCJLandale for the Priti Patel story. True scoop which he unearthed on Friday and has led since. Great political journalism.

    Sending condolences and thoughts from @BBCNews to Geoff Hill’s family, friends and @itvnews colleagues. He was a great person, journalist, editor, and programme maker. He also kept all of us at the BBC Six and Ten on our toes every day. Deepest sympathies from all of us.
