The world’s most expensive honey went in sale at Harrods last month for £1,250. It’s produced in a secret valley in the Kaçkar mountains, NE Turkey. I travelled there for @thetimes to meet the beekeeper and ask why it costs almost as much as UK av. rent. https://t.co/rR3XIuOung

People are still out on the streets in Istanbul following two earthquakes earlier today. They say they don’t trust their buildings won’t collapse - 50k died in huge twin quakes in the south in 2023. Many still took the time to evacuate freaked out pets though #nocatleftbehind https://t.co/RNIIBhm7AY

Istanbul just suffered a 6.0 earthquake. Everyone is out in the street worried a bigger one is coming - a devastatingly huge one is predicted at some point in soon. https://t.co/bGJaMJnMRJ

“We will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.” My interview with Turkey’s main opposition leader, Ozgur Özel, for @thetimes last week. He vowed to protest until early elections, & issue a warning to UK PM @Keir_Starmer. https://t.co/xgPXJSwE1k

I had an amazing weekend in Paris studying childhood, migration, trauma and ethical reporting with @columbiajourn’s @DartCenter. I learned a lot, met great people and it felt really poignant amid aid cuts and an increasingly inhumane migration debate. https://t.co/7EhPGoEodt

Protesting students are marching over Istanbul’s historic Galata Bridge now, as taxis honk in solidarity. It’s the 6th night of protests in Turkey over the jailing of @ekrem_imamoglu & the first time this has happened. They told me they’re scared of police violence at city hall https://t.co/SajlkRORHU

A 5th night of protests in Turkey after Istanbul mayor @ekrem_imamoglu was formally jailed pending trial on corruption charges & suspended from office. The biggest march so far, with protestors & police clashing in a haze of tear gas. My story @thetimes: https://t.co/SXjKa3GITy
