Thanks @DIGawards for naming The Last Witness as Best Podcast with @michaelsheen @lucytaylor @BBCRadio4 @smoketrailprod. Investigative journalism is under threat everywhere, but we soldier on. Great w/e with inspiring journos from worldover. Buried continues...

Started listening to #BoyWasted podcast from @lucytaylor & @danielashby - a ‘slow burner’ that shines a light on the horrific human impact of sending the UK’s waste to Turkey. If anything should make us rethink how we deal with our rubbish this is it. @BarryGardiner @TessColley

Could AI cure cancer using nature's DNA? We're back with The Documentary podcast from the @bbcworldservice looking at the work of Basecamp Research, a London-based firm creating the world's biggest genome database. Listen here: https://t.co/cCs5hm0JFj @danielashby @Basecamp_Res

Bravo @BBCRadioFoyle for understanding that environment crime is front-page news. 45-minute special coverage on Mobuoy from 8am today.

NEW: Two NI parties are backing calls for a tougher sentence over Mobuoy. One former minister will be writing to the NI equivalent of the Crown Prosecution Service. Campaigner renew calls for full public inquiry

Going live shortly on the BBC in Northern Ireland, after a 20-year fight for justice comes to an end in Derry - in one of the biggest environment crimes in UK history, even European, history. https://t.co/4GSeJcePM4

On North West Today tomorrow morning - a special focus on Mobuoy dump. Some politicians and environmental activists are calling for a full public inquiry after two men were jailed on Friday. Tomorrow we have reaction and analysis 8-9am. @BBCRadioFoyle @BBCNewsNI @teresamcraig

It’s World Environment Day and did you know that Michael Sheen risked his life to expose forever chemical leaks? If you don’t know the story, check out Buried: The Last Witness podcast created by brilliant journalist & investigators Dan Ashby & Lucy Taylor https://t.co/1hY31ozTUo

Judge says "the time has passed" when those motivated by greed in waste crime can simply walk free.

BREAKING: Mobuoy criminals get shock custodial sentences of 1 year and 21 months respectively, at the tougher end of what we were expecting. Initial reaction from lifelong campaigners is positive. The end of a long fight for justice for Derry. But Mobuoy's legacy just beginning.

A fabulous night...Buried with @smoketrailprod @lucytaylor @michaelsheen @RoySocChem @BBCRadio4 has won the 'Grand Award' at @NYFestivals gala. Thank you New York! A lovely little boost - credit to full Buried team attached.

New report - recycling rates are falling. And the rise in consumption is outpacing even the rise in population. We now extract more than 100 billion tonnes of raw materials every year, a staggering number. "A waste crisis," https://t.co/KyIXZbdU72

Need a wild idea for first weekend in June? Join us at Cheltenham Science Festival to discuss whether forever chemicals are making us all sick. I don't normally dress like this (see pic). @cheltfestivals Tickets here: https://t.co/QMhuyJHl7t.

One more update (slightly belated) - thanks to Amnesty for including Buried: The Last Witness in the shortlist for the Amnesty Media Awards (I wonder what Douglas would have made of all this) @smoketrailprod @danielashby @michaelsheen

More fab news this afternoon, as The Last Witness is shortlisted in the New York Festivals Radio Awards @NYFestivals, in documentary of the year. Thanks again to @michaelsheen for his unwavering support, @smoketrailprod team, R4 team @RoySocChem @ManMetUni + Rev. Cawthorne

Lovely to see our @BBCRadio4 pod The Last Witness shortlisted for a True Crime Award, particularly for "community impact". There is a growing sense of horror over forever chemicals and what they do. With @lucytaylor @michaelsheen @smoketrailprod team @RoySocChem @ManMetUni + R4

The Mobuoy illegal dump scandal has exposed the toothlessness of Stormont and the NI criminal justice system. Tomorrow night just a few miles from the dump site I'll be chairing a discussion about what happened & what can be done. Still some tickets here: https://t.co/xCQQr0Aqoh

More than two years after pleading guilty, two Mobuoy criminals still haven't been sentenced. On the panel will be activists, a scientist and the journalistic pair whose brilliant Radio 4 podcast series Buried brought the scandal to a mass audience - @danielashby & @lucytaylor.

NEW: Welsh Govt has intervened after R4 Buried revealed toxic chemicals at 140 x background rate in South Wales. They're building a huge fence around it. But same land has been accessible for picnics and play for yrs. Is this action far too late? Contact us if you know more.

Delighted to be heading back to Derry with @RDeanBlackwood @SJAMcBride and more to talk 'Uncovering Mobuoy' and all things Buried at the @niscifest. Tickets here which they've subsidised heavily in the name of public interest on this issue:
