Omar's family are stuck in Gaza - all Brits. His brother a surgeon at Al Shifa hospital - a blast was just outside. His wife is pregnant. Kids aged 2, 6, 8. Omar says UK FM can't help until they're at the Rafah Crossing - but he says those making the journey are being bombed. https://t.co/7FUafDi2l2

3 key voices on Israel-Gaza war today @BBCWorld @PalestineRCS - threats to evacuate hospital - 1 rocket fell metres away @TzipiHotovely - we're trying to minimise casualties by calling to evacuate @FranceskAlbs - bombing a hospital is a war crime - another reason for ceasefire https://t.co/oisiDrt4AG

Ukraine dam floods: From a Kherson resident separated from families, to an aid worker in a dinghy rescuing people, to a weapons expert on the threat of dislodged landmines. It's their stories that matter. I'm just honoured to have produced todays entire coverage for @BBCWorld https://t.co/ssfqLs3pyL

So the Oxford English Dictionary added a bunch of Te Reo Māori words today! Absolutely stoked & honoured to have this korero on @BBCWorld, I had another answer prepped for the significance of an intl dictionary recognising these words but you can decide that for yourself... https://t.co/63j6uoNovP

A gem of a story I got to share on @BBCWorld about an 87 yr old entering a classroom for the very first time to learn to read and write 🥹 https://t.co/yn3gG609ir

I'm starting to think my accidental niche in news is reporting on weather disasters, and no doubt there's plenty more of those coming our way with the growing climate crisis 😳 https://t.co/O2C1r5ydLv

I thought my weather live cross days were over, but alas Cyclone Gabrielle. Big love to everyone doing the hard yards back home in this storm, from reporters to emergency service workers and volunteers.

New Zealand declares its third ever national state of emergency, over #CycloneGabrielle, as my @BBCNews colleague @VandhnaBhan explains. The first was following the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, the second over the Covid-19 pandemic. https://t.co/tBgvZbugQl

Another day of bringing NZ stories to international audiences here at BBC. Some great mahi from communities back home in this time of crisis.

Efeso Collins @efesocollins

Between some family check-ins, I stopped at home briefly to speak with @BBCWorld about the huge challenges facing many whanau in Tamaki Makaurau Akl right now, as well as the resilience, generosity and community leadership thats been on display in recent days. @VandhnaBhan https://t.co/XMZ4Rixf9p

From an interview on my old stomping ground @tvnz with @Hilary_Barry, it's crazy to think I was able to produce @bbcworldservice's coverage about the wider conversation of what Campbell Johnstone's coming out means for kiwis and the international sporting world!

Started 2022 in Wellington at TVNZ, pretty surreal to be ending it in London at Al Jazeera! https://t.co/HKQg2sOWGr

A lot of people have said well Gaurav Sharma pronounces his own name like Shaa-ma. It's still incorrect, and I get why he does it. Because we all do it. We're tired of sounding like a broken record correcting people. https://t.co/8Iq2lkDVNk

Gaurav Sharma. A name we've heard pronounced incorrectly A LOT this week, and now even by Google?! It's infuriating that many of us Indians just give up & accept being called whatever western society wants to call us. If you can say Aotearoa and roll the R you can say Sharma. https://t.co/XuzaDcNLSm
