In absolute shock at this news. I had the pleasure of working with Arman a few years ago, he was such a talented and enthusiastic colleague and was doing such vital work. RIP.
We are devastated to learn of the death of AFP video journalist Arman Soldin in eastern Ukraine today. All of our thoughts go out to his family and loved ones.

Arman was the kind of guy who saved hurt hedgehogs in war zones. He was an incredible and vibrant personality and a great journalist. We miss him. We are mourning him. Rest in peace
Sooo.. here is an unusually cute story from our day of reporting around #Bakhmut ! We found a baby hedgehog that was dehydrated and dying at the worst place possible in Chassiv Yar ... Quick thread ! 🧶🧶🧶 1/11 #ukraine #animals @dodo

Going to share some of @evangershkovich's stories from his time at @AFP, where he worked for little over a year before @WSJ. Here's a small selection of features he reported for the agency, on top of the onslaught of breaking news alerts the Moscow bureau contends with daily 🧵

Absolutely horrified to hear that my friend and former colleague @evangershkovich has been arrested by the FSB on bogus spying charges. Journalism is not a crime. He should be released immediately.

#RishiSunak is the new Prime Minister, the first person of colour to become prime minister, and on #Diwali too. This is a hugely symbolic and representative moment for many, many people, and not just the usual suspects, those on the right of politics. 🧵

As people adjust to the news think of this: -A new head on the stamps -A new face on the money -New initials on the post boxes -No more Queen's Speech or Queen's Counsel -Formal toasts will toast "The King" -The heir to the throne and the Prince of Wales will be William.

This is undoubtedly true, it is a profoundly surreal moment at a time that was turbulent enough as it was.
Suspect many people will be surprising themselves tonight by feeling more emotional about the Queen than they expected. Loss of a constant - whatever it was, however much you didn't really think it mattered to you - is unsettling.

I’ve returned from spending five days in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) covering the #pakistanfloods with an AFP team - visiting camps, families living on the side of the road and towns in ruins…
