is such a beautiful tale (or tail!) of compassion, humanity, resilience and calmness that we can all learn from.

I never dreamt I could be so excited by the prospect of a man with a beard, standing by a yellow gate lighting a cigarette... it must nearly be time!

I can sense the ‘human sacrifice’ standing by a remote yellow gate. We’ll surely get the waft of cigarette smoke from the Tennessee wilderness within the next 24 hours…

Extraordinary journalist Youmna Al Sayed reports for us outside Al Shifa hospital, now the only safe place to broadcast from in

It’s a wrap. We just broadcast the last Al Jazeera news programmes to come from London. It’s all so sad, but I’ve been incredibly lucky to have worked with such a wonderful bunch of people for the last 17 years.
This is 5 minutes that is so worth watching -
@runcamille
is an incredible human being. Absolutely astounding achievement of human endurance & possibility… “..I think I made my parents proud” 🥹…I think you just might have done. Them and the rest of the watching world!
After the total destruction of Al Jazeera offices in
#Gaza
, Safwat Al Kahlout is reporting live for us again amongst the ruins of the office he worked in for 11 years; “we had to leave everything behind, including our memories and our archives”....
@JasminKParis
Thank you 🙏🏻! You have inspired so many people to not only go above and beyond…but just to GO!! Thank you for showing the world just what women can do against all the odds!!… 💪🏻 🏃🏼♀️ 🦸🏼♀️!
So excited & grateful to have been jabbed in

Thank you

I was there, I wasn’t marching just observing. No-one was marching for the rights of the car. The main message was one of communication (or lack thereof) in a democratic society. It seemed to be more about the rights of the electorate to have their voices heard.

war, why do we feel the need to be so divisive? Can we not hold up the flag of humanity & support the millions of innocent Israelis & Gazans who play no part in this and want no part of this utter brutality? Find a flag for all the innocent - wave that..
I just love this woman!! She is so truly awesome 🤩!
Not only has she smashed the ultra-running glass ceiling into tiny pieces.. she smashes it whilst dancing 💃🏼 and living her total best…having just run 500 miles! Absolute legend 💪🏻🏃🏼♀️🦸🏼♀️!
Wow 🤩. As I woke this morning with the familiar sinking feeling of “oh crap, in my sleep I had forgotten our new reality” -I also heard scurrying of little feet that delivered me this 😊. My beautiful rays of sunshine ☀️ bringing smiles in these dark times.
