Was a dramatic night on Saturday rushing on air to break the news of the WHCD shooting. We rolled for several hours with our colleagues reporting live from inside the venue & returning to our newsroom to recount what happened. Phenomenal work from @CarlNasman and our whole team.
I’m still thinking about the resilience and professionalism of our @BBCNews team amid the chaos of the WHCD shooting.
Our DC colleagues reported live in their formal wear all night, helping us piece together exactly what happened.
As I anchored hours of rolling coverage, our journalists in the bureau found experts and witnesses. Thank you to @FloydCush and the crew for their tireless work.

Amid all the guff, just this: I am proud to work for BBC News & even prouder to work alongside so many outstanding colleagues. We are not perfect; we must always strive to be better. But in a darkening world, we remain a shaft of light. Worth mulling. All best from Kyiv.
Exciting moment to have Washington's first touchscreen sequence on-air. It's been a fun project to set up the screen and hopefully will be another tool for the DC channel to give audiences context during a pivotal time in US politics! @BBCWorld

Here’s my view of what happened in Pennsylvania last night. Just my impressions as one reporter at one point in time.

This was astonishing work Iona. A complete masterclass & put the news channel leagues above other output.
Sadly being deployed on a story can suddenly change in a moment. We were 150m away from the attacker and suddenly speaking to eye witnesses at the Trump rally in Butler, PA bbc.com/news/articles/cn4v7v…
The BBC News Channel immediately began rolling coverage of the Trump rally shooting with everyone working tirelessly to deliver the most comprehensive offering. From Gary O'Donoghue live with us for hours, to our pro team in DC newsroom & presenter @CarlNasman on-air for 5 hours.

After President Biden's debate performance Polish Foreign Minister @radeksikorski 'tweeted' about the fall of the Roman empire.
“It’s important to manage one’s ride into the sunset," he wrote.
As talk swirls around Biden's candidacy, does he stand by that take?
