'Dialogue between the deaf' It's a hectic diplomatic year for #Finland and for @elinavaltonen who must pilot the @OSCE while two of its members are entrenched in war: but is it still relevant? Kiitos @FIIA_fi @Finland_OSCE @tonisandell @NHelwig #OSCEFI50

.@DaveKeating Euronews was being hollowed out long before the last two months, and long before this latest CEO came on board. It's been a years-long decline. I didn't think anyone could lose the trust of the newsroom faster than the previous French CEO, but this German dude wins!
It is so shocking and sad to watch Euronews being hollowed out into a EU Fox News right before our eyes right now. This has unfolded over just 2 months. How was the allowed to happen?

*Other European countries are available.
Just as Europe needs leadership most, Germany's governing coalition has imploded. Donald Trump's election victory and uncertainty in Berlin spell a wild ride ahead. https://t.co/jsI602hgcb

Christ on a bike. I'm agreeing with Sukkola. Mark this date in your calendar.
Toimittaja Megyn Kelly puhui vielÀ 10 vuotta sitten objektiivisen, puolueettoman tiedonvÀlityksen puolesta ja kritisoi sitÀ, ettÀ toimittajista on tulossa aktivisteja. Pidin hÀntÀ vielÀ tuolloin aidosti puolueettomana.En ole elÀessÀni pettynyt keneenkÀÀn toimittajaan nÀin pahasti

Juuri nÀin. Pelottelu oli turhaa: Alkoholin kulutus ei kasvanut. TÀhÀn kun lisÀtÀÀn vielÀ se tieto, ettÀ Alkon vÀkevien viinojen kulutus on tullut n.10 prosenttia alaspÀin, huomaamme, ettÀ tÀmÀkin on ollut erittÀin hyvÀ uudistus. Seuraavaksi viinit.
