I’m beyond thrilled that @Ay_Da_Ray, @KitGillet, and I are finalists for the 2024 British Journalism Awards in the Social Affairs, Diversity & Inclusion Journalism category. A huge honour, but this wouldn't have been possible without the bravery of our sources in Iran!

I picked up an old copy of @MishaGlenny's 1990 book on Eastern Europe from a charity shop this morning, and inside I found a newspaper clipping about Romania from circa 1990/91 (likely used as a bookmark by the previous owner)! Lovely sense of history

30 years after covering Moldova’s short & bloody war I return to interview its president @sandumaiamd She has a nightmarish challenge to steer her country into the EU - but a steely core. "I am stubborn" she says as she drives off in her lone Skoda.
