On this day 30 years ago, Jonathan Edwards broke the triple jump world record. It remains as the only WR held by a British athlete in an Olympic athletics event. The man himself @jde66 spoke to @DanOgunshakin about why he thinks it has lasted so long. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0…

Massive tree just came down right in front of us on Chester Road in Hartford, Cheshire. Road now blocked and a few fried nerves!

Brilliant news and well done to @smithedit and @stuartpollitt . Glad to be a very small part of it and hope it means loads more people will watch this great doc.
We are thrilled to see our film has a double nomination for Best Documentary at the @rts_mids and @RTSNW Royal Television Society awards. It is unheard of for a dance music film to be recognised in this way!

First trip to one of the only purpose built venues at Paris 2024. The diving venue by the Stade de France. Great live position for @BBCNews at One. #olympics

Plenty of Scots having a few drinks on the train north from Munich at lunchtime. We are only just approaching Stuttgart - not even half way - and the train staff have just told me they are out of beer in the restaurant car. That might not go down too well! #euro2024 #Scotland

The perils of live camera work! Feel for the crew here although it probably should have been expected given the size of those steins #nsfw #euro2024
