In October, it was a huge honour to not just hear Esther Perel speak at the London Apollo but also interview her for the Karen Martin and BBC World service on conflict in relationships and her hugely successful podcast. Listen here from 26:10 in bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0…

"If someone had told me @ uni I would end up working as a journalist for the BBC let alone in the United States, I would have probably said they had mistaken me for a far more competent and adventurous person." Sharing my experience with UoN Careers blogs.nottingham.ac.uk/careers/2024/0…

Sadly being deployed on a story can suddenly change in a moment. We were 150m away from the attacker and suddenly speaking to eye witnesses at the Trump rally in Butler, PA bbc.com/news/articles/…

This is the BBC's Gary O'Donoghue (Gary O'Donoghue) talking to The Media Show about his interview with Greg Smith, who described what he'd seen in the moments before the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

Exactly a week on from events last weekend we are at the Donald Trump rally in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The approx. 12,000 strong crowd roars the new chant 'fight, fight, fight.' Some tell us Trump is back 'bigger and better than ever.'

Life on the road continues to change, from a Michigan swing state tv piece we're gathering thoughts on Biden not running to be reelected. Chocolate brownies need to do their magic as we power through another busy day

In case anyone else is a big kid like me, this is the volume of balloons that will drop tonight after Kamala Harris' speech at the DNC. They have been there throughout the week. Glad it's not someone's overnight job

Donald Trump makes a surprise entrance to the spin room post debate here in Philadelphia- a most unusual move for a presidential candidate let alone a former POTUS

Hi Elon Musk , I’m back in Butler for Trump’s rally and I hear you’re coming. We’ve chatted again to Greg who you retweeted, and Corey’s wife, Helen. Would be great to speak to you too. Let me know

It's unusual in an election year to return to the same place but today's Trump's return rally in Butler, Pa. This time with bulletproof glass & Corey's firefighter's jacket in the bleachers instead of him. Both an emotional & triumphant day for this strongly Republican community

Great to be nominated in the RTS breaking news category. As part of the Butler team on the ground it's fantastic that this award recognises the incredible support and coverage from back at base too. rts.org.uk/article/nomina…
