My dispatch for @TelGlobalHealth following a week in Togo to report on the epidemic of road fatalities caused by an uncontrolled motorcycle boom. Replicated across Africa’s rapidly expanding cities, the constant influx of critically injured riders overwhelms Togo’s busy hospitals

Dispatch for @TelGlobalHealth I visited a school on the silt island of Bhola which is part of a Bangladeshi programme to keep children in education to prevent child marriage. 60% of families practice child marriage, according to recent research

Thinking today of the many Syrian exiles I met in Jordan, Lebanon and across Europe, fleeing Assad's barrel bombs and persecution. People like Ahmed, a court clerk, in Zaatari refugee camp, and surgeon brothers Hassan and Mohammed, in South Wales #Syria #Assad #AssadRegime

Dispatch for @TelGlobalHealth from parched terrain above Marsabit, Kenya, where I learned how disappearance of traditional pastures is having unexpected effects: girls forced further from homes are being raped and communities are engaged in violent disputes over grazing territory

RT @PaulNuki: The international community's failure on Sudan has shocked me to my core

Latest piece for @TelGlobalHealth on how private creditors including major banks based in London and New York account for more than half of Kenya's colossal current debt repayments, stifling spending on health/education. 32 of 54 African nations spend more on debt than healthcare

An honour to attend the funeral of Don Sheppard in Basildon today. Don lived until the age of 104, but more importantly lived with vigorous enthusiasm. He devoted himself to the memory of fallen comrades in his latter years but never glorified war once. A shining example.

Been going to Villa Park for four decades. Don’t think I’ve ever experienced a moment quite like last night before. What a goal, and what a win. #AstonVilla #UTV @AVFCOfficial @AVFC_News

My latest piece for @TheNewEuropean on Macron: How the intransigence of most French voters has propelled them further to the extremes, in defiance of the president's aim of rendering the right and left populist fringes obsolete by creating a sensible party in the middle

@henrywinter @villareport Well said, Henry. One of the greatest aspects of being a Villa fan in the recent ascendancy after some very bleak seasons was that ticket prices remained affordable. I fear that the loyal fan base is not what most concerns those running the club.
