I’ll be buying this for any friend who wants to better understand the horror of the past year in the Middle East. The humanity, understanding & quiet heartbreak on every page has floored me. Thank you @NathanThrall for a peerless lesson on forensic & compassionate storytelling.

A group of parents in Gaza have described their heartbreak as they remain separated from their babies who were born prematurely in Jerusalem just over a year ago. The war has kept them separated, meaning shaky video calls are the closest contact they have with their children.

Egypt has 150 hospitals treating Gazans, Qatar, US & European countries like Italy have also taken patients. WHO says 10 thousand injured need evacuation from Gaza; UK doctors have raised money to privately treat a handful of children here but UK gov hasn’t issued a single visa

One of the problems of modern day politics is that it can feel quite removed from most people’s everyday reality. Ed Davey’s description of meeting his disabled son’s needs, before his working day even starts, was detailed, unvarnished & moving - more at 8.30pm on #ITVTonight

Covering election campaigns can sometimes feel a bit like watching theatre, with party leaders playing well-rehearsed roles and the script a long way from most people’s reality. This didn’t feel like that.

There are too many seriously injured children in Gaza like Ahmad with no immediate family left. We followed him to Europe thanks to @sallybecker121 & Save A Child - British charity that had to take him to Italy for treatment after UK gov refused a visa https://t.co/pIomOPHOU4

What a joy to meet such a great bunch of curious, engaged and super-polite year 12s. Some really challenging questions too. If these are the journalists of the future, then the news is in good hands.

Even more wonderful off screen than she was on it. And given what a brilliant, indefatigable journalist she was that’s saying something. ITV News will never be the same, but it’s her family, who she loved so fiercely, that our hearts are broken for. Rest in peace Emily
