Today we mark the anniversary of John Schofield's death. He was killed, aged just 29, in 1995 while reporting on the war in Croatia. This charity was founded in his name by Susannah Schofield MBE 🇺🇦 & industry colleagues to ensure that his spirit of generosity & kindness lived on (cont'd👇)



A few of you have messaged me asking for how to go about applying. Please do join this and hear from the Trust directly. #mentoring John Schofield Trust #journalismjobs

Some personal news – I’m leaving the BBC after 9 years and off to Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office as Head of News & Press Secretary to Foreign Sec. Start later this year and leave with nothing but good feelings for BBC News (UK) Grateful for a fresh opportunity and can’t wait to get stuck in.

We love Maryam Moshiri ❤️ She's making the news fun again 😃


UK Africa Minister Andrew Mitchell tells the BBC there is "every danger" Ethiopia will be engulfed in famine unless the international community acts. Watch our exclusive report on the ground in Tigray where war & drought are fuelling the food crisis. youtube.com/watch?v=HTlcDJ…


Mama di pasta is overcooked 🍝😮💨 Thanks for treating us to a banger of a race, Alberto Bettiol


Miło mi witać w moich progach Pana Ministra David Lammy podczas jego pierwszej podróży zagranicznej. Welcome!



An escalation of violence in the Middle East is in no-one's interest. In Qatar and Lebanon, Foreign Secretary David Lammy and Defence Secretary John Healey call for all parties to agree an immediate ceasefire to bring the conflict in Gaza to an end ⤵️


This is a critical moment for stability in the Middle East. Prime Minister of Lebanon Najib Mikati and I spoke again about the need for all parties to urgently and immediately de-escalate. There can be no more delays, the fighting must stop now.
