Lovely day MediaCityUK to be in the office to produce BBC Radio 4 Sunday ! Great atmosphere here, but not as exciting as #Rome where tomorrow thousands will gather to hear Pope Leo XIV lead his first official Mass. Join us & William Crawley at 7.10am BBC Radio 4 to hear the build up!

It’s overcast here Manchester but it’s scorching in #armenia - where I’m heading to train #journalists with the amazing Media Initiatives & make a #radio #podcast for BBC World Service #bbcheartandsoul - wish me luck!

Gorgeous #gyumri #armenia

Role-playing interviewing traumatised people is much more difficult when many of the journalists I’m training here in #armenia have experienced trauma in #artsakh / #nagornokarabakh themselves - but they rose to the challenge! 👏🏻👏🏻 👏🏻 Media Initiatives

Practising giving a #balanced #neutral report on your #conflict & thinking about using #constructivejournalism - from #northernireland to #armenia it’s not easy! Media Initiatives Shared Future News Steven Youngblood

How much is that doggy in the window? Life for the street #dogs of #gyumri_armenia might be hard but they seem very cheerful!

Although I’m in #armenia I’m thinking about #southport today and the families of Bebe King, Alice Aguiar and Elsie Dot Stancombe - who are doing amazing work despite their own grief. 💐 #southporttogether

It’s been a hard day for #southport - a year since the awful events that saw the senseless deaths of three children. I’ll be on Times Radio on #theeveningedition tonight to discuss how it feels a year on. #southporttogether
