It is 15 years to the day I joined Al Jazeera English. It is a privilege reporting for one of the best news networks. 2020 has seen me in the studio a lot more than I thought I would ever be, given my natural home is on the road. The journey continues. #aljazeeraenglish

In 2014 Imran Khan brought Islamabad to a standstill with mass rallies alleging army involvement in election rigging. In 2018 will he do the same? Will he investigate serious and consistent allegations that the army fixed it so his party won a majority?.

It's the end of civilization as we know it.
Due to the abnormally warm temperatures, MCC has decided to dispense with requirement for gentlemen to wear jackets in the Pavilion and arrive wearing one. This applies to Members of MCC and Middlesex and their guests.

I still watch Yes Minister every couple of years or so. Every couple of years it becomes less of a satire and more a foretelling of today's politics. '2020. It's sooner than you think!' RIP Derek Fowlds.

Today is one of the oddest days in my journalist career. The Sudanese military have banned Al Jazeera which means I have no press credentials and cannot do anything that might be considered journalism. I have still have eyes and ears though. Part 1/2. #sudanprotests.

I'm funny tinged. That was bad. Turns out I can now have my c'ship revoked because parents were immigrants, (I hold Brit passport as do they) I have no other nationality. Javid, the Brit Home sec, thinks this is all ok. What price power? The price of injustice, racism and hate.

#mogulmowgli is brilliantly dark, brooding intense film with incredible performances from @rizwanahmed and @AlyyKhan06. I can't stop thinking about it. An instant classic directed with both sympathy and powerfully by @curry_crayola. A must watch @BFI #classicbritishfilm.

The best ending for Game Of Thrones is everyone with a claim to the throne dies, the people rise up and an parliamentary democracy is instilled with elections every 4 years. Then Sisi takes over in a few years.

If the reports of rockets fired at Balad airbase and the US Embassy Baghdad are true, then I will bet that this isn't Iran, which is considering it's response but the PMF who have less patience and want revenge for the death of Muhandis.

13 dead in Khartoum, 1 in Om Durman, according to activist. death toll could well be much higher. Some protestors are blunt. Without backing from Saudi, UAE, Egypt there would be no blood on the streets of Khartoum. Can still hear sporadic gunfire. #SudanUprising #SudanProtests.
