Vlad, the young commander in our @BBC film Ukraine: Enemy in the Woods has been killed in battle. He joined the Ukrainian infantry after his hometown was invaded by Russia. Admired for his bravery and leadership. He dreamed of getting his HGV license. He was 19. RIP Vlad.

Vovan, the central figure in our @BBC film 'Ukraine: Enemy in the Woods' has been killed alongside 5 comrades in a Russian tank attack. A kind, genuine soul who cared deeply for his men. Rarely seen without a smile. He leaves behind a wife & two sons. Rest in peace Vovan.

We were granted incredible access to a frontline infantry company, to film Ukraine's war with surprising immediacy & intimacy. Europe’s bloodiest war in living memory, through the eyes of the people fighting it. UKRAINE: ENEMY IN THE WOODS @bbciplayer @bbctwo @bbc 9pm 25th March

Ukrainian forces are outnumbered and outgunned right now. If the West really want to make a difference it is critical that they move lightening fast, or deal with the consequences. "War is young men dying and old men talking"

Vovan was a steelworker from central Ukraine. He told me he wanted to repel the Russians then rebuild his country. A brilliant man, if you haven't met him please watch the film. It was down to him we made it, he filmed most of it, Jesus what a sad end. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

I had the pleasure of meeting David Amess whilst filming on the Grenfell disaster and fire safety. He was generous and genuinely cared about protecting the lives of people living in tower blocks. He also didn't take himself too seriously. His death is shocking and sad. RIP
In 2015 David Amess was awarded a knighthood for political and public service. How did the newly-knighted Sir David celebrate?
He got dressed up and released this brilliant photo echo-news.co.uk/news/1337479…

I had the double pleasure of watching the best film I’ve seen this year and bumping into @arthurcary in the screening. Spot on, @FleeMov is absolutely brilliant. I was in bits by the end, in a good way. Needs a big screen.
Flee is a really special documentary, stunning in every respect. An extraordinary story beautifully told. A cut above. I highly recommend watching it in the cinema when it is released early next year. piped.video/WzUVeuX1u04

My power’s really low, so this may be the last image I can send. Don’t worry about me though: my time here has been both productive and serene. If I can keep talking to my mission team, I will – but I’ll be signing off here soon. Thanks for staying with me.
ALT Wide-angle photo from NASA’s InSight lander on Mars shows the area in front of the lander in the late afternoon sun. Two science instruments tethered to the lander rest on the sandy surface nearby. Part of the lander’s robotic arm is visible extending down from the top left. Distortion from the wide-angle lens bends the distant horizon into a curved shape, while low-angle sunlight causes a small bluish lens flare on the right side.
