Interesting Panorama tonight following Steven Rosenberg's last year in Moscow as BBC correspondent.

He is a very brave fellow to be reporting in those circumstances.

Rosenberg is fluent in Russian and one of the few foreign press allowed in to certain pressers.

Some news that I'm surprised seems to not be particularly widely reported, particularly after Infantino's "FIFA's Peace Award" for Trump.

FIFA boss Infantino backs Russia’s return to international football
FIFA boss Gianni Infantino has called for Russia’s return to international football, describing the ban imposed after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine as ineffective.

Predictable reactions from around the world but amazed he is such a fool to have even suggested it unless it's trying to ape Trump and push a pro-Russia stance.

It was on the Beeb yesterday, but their sports pages have become a bit sh!te recently, which is a shame.

I gave Infantino's proposals the respect that they deserved. 😉

I hope you washed your hands afterwards.

Watched this last night. It's a very good insight into a "proper" journalist doing a (great) job in a very awkward situation. Well worth an hour of anyone's time.

But, but, but, he's a BBC journo, and certain posters keep telling us BBC news is compromised by those at the top of the organisation (though they avtually watch no live news broadcasts themselves)!

Some good news:

Big developments in the next week or so... will keep forumites guessing.

In the meantime, Russia's second in command Lt Gen Vladimir Alexeyev shot 3 times in the chest in Moscow. Apparently, it was a female assassin. Alexeyev is in critical condition.
Lt Gen Vladimir Alexeyev was responsible for atrocities in Mariupol.

Possibly also behind the Salisbury attack.

Possibly also behind the Salisbury attack.

Indeed. Was it GRU or FSB?
