Late to the news that one of my favourite rooftops in London, Coq d’Argent at No 1 Poultry, is closing due to redevelopment.☹️ Love its outdoor garden and stunning views over the City! It’s relocating to One Millennium Bridge. Still, the end of an era. bdonline.co.uk/news/family-w…

As the first woman elected President of Ireland, Mary Robinson paved the way for generations of women. Today in Dublin, it was a pleasure to confer upon her the distinction of Honourable Member of the European Order of Merit, in recognition of her contribution to democracy and the European values we stand for. – at Dublin City, Ireland

The famously-always-late Italian PM Giorgia Meloni appears to get a clap from the other EU leaders as she jumps into their group photo last here in Dublin. The Irish 'craic' rubbing off on this crowd. "I wasn't the last one," she says though as the Irish PM joins afterwards.

Just a few days ago this was unthinkable. The financial world, AI world, and our international relations will no doubt all be rocked by this, but let us not forget there is a family behind these headlines who are no doubt rocked the most. May we be mindful of their pain.

I’m in Dublin now and I would like to thank the six members of the Dublin Civil Defence who were in Kraków on November 7 for their city break and who immediately rushed to help the victims of mass shooting. Friends, your extraordinary response saved many lives. You’re our heroes.

My career in journalism began as a BBC News-sponsored trainee, and the experience opened doors to opportunities I could never have imagined. For anyone aspiring to a career in journalism, the BBC apprenticeship schemes are well worth exploring. Good luck to everyone applying! ⬇️

Listening to @LeoVaradkar tell @RTERadio1 about meeting EU leaders like Merkel or Macron when the door closes behind you and advisers are left outside reminded me of that brilliant scene in #TheDiplomat when Kate Wyler meets the Russian ambassador as her staff earwig outside. 😂

Broncano later expressed regret, acknowledging that the audience’s overwhelmingly supportive reaction risked creating a misleading impression of public opinion. The controversy raises questions about editorial independence. RTVE: rtve.es/play/noticias/202611…

A dead body has been found near the #ImACeleb jungle camp. Just days before the show is set to start filming, the body has been identified as a 73 year old grandmother who was murdered and left submerged in a disused livestock dip near the national park where ITV film the show.
