BBC management is closing ⁦@BBCHARDtalk⁩ after three decades holding power to account around the world. Here are some thoughts ⬇️ ‘I feel really, really cross at incredibly dumb decisions’: Stephen Sackur on the end of HARDtalk – and leaving the BBC theguardian.com/media/2025/m…

It was an honour to hang out with the legendary BBC journalist and HARDtalk interviewer/presenter, Stephen Sackur, after he invited me to his home in London last night. We talked about the state of global journalism today and how fake news websites and social media influencers are being used by rogue regimes to spread falsehoods in failed attempts to discredit those fighting corruption, bad governance and demanding better societies. I explained to him the story of Zimbabwean journalist and political prisoner Blessed Mhlanga, and how dangerous it is to be a journalist in Zimbabwe today, and also how Mhlanga’s jailing without trial is meant to instil fear in Zimbabwean journalists by the corrupt dictatorship! I also told Stephen how HARDtalk was a key news staple for many Africans, especially those in public policy, and how sad it is for its huge global audience to see it go. HARDtalk has interviewed all consequential African and global leaders, making it an iconic television programme, whose decision to be shut down still boggles many people’s minds. I am linked to Stephen Sackur’s next media project—an exciting time, knowing that someone of his immense talent and experience will ensure that history has no blank pages. His extensive experience and dedication to journalism will continue to make an impact on the industry. His work on HARDtalk has provided a platform for critical discussions and in-depth interviews with key global figures, and it's clear that his passion for rigorous, independent journalism remains strong. Keep an eye out for future announcements regarding Stephen’ next venture, as it will be both informative and engaging.

Witkoff to Fox today: I trust Putin, Russia doesn’t want to go beyond the five regions of Ukraine it currently controls. Meanwhile Russia: Odesa and Kyiv are Russian cities and we need to get them back.

Group Captain John "Paddy" Hemingway, the last surviving pilot from the Battle of Britain, has died at the age of 105 bbc.in/4iyA2j9

Very sad news indeed; "The Few" are all gone as John "Paddy" Hemingway, the last surviving pilot of the Battle of Britain dies aged 105. "He never felt that he was anything special. He thought the special ones were friends who never returned. He is back with his squadron"

Very sad to hear of the passing of Group Captain John ‘Paddy’ Hemingway, the last known Battle of Britain pilot. His courage, and that of all RAF pilots, helped end WWII and secure our freedom. We will never forget their bravery and service. Thank you, John ‘Paddy’ Hemingway.

Opinion | Labour must decide whether it bends the knee to big tech. And that includes Elon Musk, who is developing his AI chatbot Grok3, while simultaneously denouncing Starmer’s Britain a land where free speech is dead 🖋 @iburrell trib.al/LRd5JeJ

Jack Dorsey supports news media, Elon Musk undermines it @bbcmediaaction @bbcworldservice @thomsonreuters

For all the politically-motivated and commercially-motivated attacks on the BBC its audiences are going up. 2024 was a bumper year and @BBCiPlayer is winning in the UK streaming market

Well worth a read!

Good piece here by @iburrell - and really interesting idea from @JonathanAspinw1 to give #Newsnight some exposure in different times lots. BBC would be wise to do this, IMO - plenty of other programmes get some cross exposure and Derbyshire interviews amongst best at the Beeb

‘A year ago the BBC seemed to have handed the death sentence to Newsnight…yet the dire prophesies have been defied’ @iburrell writes the average audience is up 30% since NN’s relaunch & the digital views for its interviews are in the tens of millions
