My dyslexic daughter - whose Year 1 teacher wrote her off as 'just not very interested in English or Maths' - was just awarded an academic scholarship at the end of Year 7. Amazing what self-knowledge, hard work and support can do. And yes, we left that school.

Almost all night long, air raid alerts sounded across Ukraine — 477 drones were in our skies, most of them Russian-Iranian Shaheds, along with 60 missiles of various types. The Russians were targeting everything that sustains life. A residential building in Smila was also hit,

Many people wondered, who is this old gentleman who walked along the march with his stick yesterday. He's the 86 y. old Ferenc Kőszeg, who attended on protest even in the darkest times of Hungary's history. Protested against the russians, communist regime, and now against Orban.

F-16 Pilot Maksym Ustymenko was made Hero of Ukraine by President Zelenskyy today. Maksym died today, fighting off a massive Russian attack. He didn't have time to eject as he was leading his damaged aircraft away from a residential area. RIP, Maksym.

It is with great sadness to learn of Sandy Gall’s passing. I had the privilege of working with him at ITN on several foreign assignments most notably during the Russian withdrawal of Afghanistan where the picture below was taken of myself, Mike Nolan and the great Sandy Gall.
