My local library in Tooting, South London, has a life-size cut-out of Dolly Parton.

This is great. One of my early journalistic assignments was contacting very famous scientists to ask them to explain complex ideas in simple ways. I was surprised by how open and patient they were. Here’s Benoit Mandelbrot explaining fractals to me.

Just went to a supermarket in a small Scottish town where the steaks are encased in anti-theft boxes - something I haven’t seen even in London.

My phone often gave warning messages like this when I worked in Southeast Asia. This is a first for me in the UK.

Under the Trump crypto playbook, the family always wins - but investors don't. Read the whole investigation by my Reuters colleagues here: www.reuters.com/investigatio...

St Thomas’ Hospital, Waterloo. Among the plaques commemorating donations by long-dead soldiers and long-dead surgeons is one by a long-dead newspaper.

At the weekend I was cutting my garden hedge with a huge electric saw and so the chat with passing neighbors turned naturally to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and what it said about carnage and corruption in 1970s America. Fifty-two years later, the movie's tagline has a chilling resonance.

Despite U.N. insistence that she had diplomatic immunity, the Trump administration imposed sanctions on Francesca Albanese for “writing threatening letters” to U.S. companies and urging the ICC to investigate, Reuters found.
United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese poses for photographer ahead of the conference on "A Cartography of Genocide: Israel's Conduct in Gaza since October 2023", an investigative project on Israeli-Palestinian conflict, at the Roma Tre University, in Rome, Italy, October 6, 2025.

Finally, the wheels are coming off Thailand's infamous "Temple of Doom," with its abbot's resignation and the overdue burial of AIDS victims who helped generate so many donations. It took the Thai authorities long enough. I wrote this expose in 2008. web.archive.org/web/20240418...

In "Deaf Republic," a soldier shoots a young deaf boy and his whole community protests by refusing to hear their oppressors. It opens with a poem that compels us to confront our complicity and impotence in the face of faraway atrocities.

Thrilled to see one of my (many) journals exhibited so creatively at Sarajevo’s WARM Festival 2025. It records a near-disastrous trip to a war-torn South Pacific island in 1997 that taught me a valuable journalistic lesson: if you’re going to do something stupid and dangerous, bring a friend.

Trump's call for 100% tariffs on foreign films reminded me of this recent scene outside Reuters office in London's Canary Wharf district, which - with a few well-placed cars and fake steam vents - was transformed into a New York City block for a movie.

I took this video three years ago today outside Lviv station, then thronging with exhausted refugees fleeing war in eastern Ukraine. The accomplished pianist is @olya_olyusia, and her rendition of “What a Wonderful World” was unforgettable.
