Very sad news. The brilliant BBC lawyer Roger Law has died. So many BBC producers & reporters will be eternally grateful to Roger for getting their films on air over last four decades. He was a legendary figure, perhaps the best-ever lawyer in history of broadcast journalism.

It was a pleasure working alongside Kate on Newsnight - she's a terrific public service journalist and I'm confident there is a heck of a lot more to come from her - and I'm really looking forward to it
