Trump's ready to walk away from his mess and leave it to rest of world to clear up, despite mobilising 5000 marines. He believes it would be easy for Japan and others to police the Strait of Hormuz. People are placing bets on the outcome of this conflict. We've entered a new era of crazy. #BBCworld.

@maryannemarsh.bsky.social: SumiSomaskanda+Geetagurumurthy Robert Moran and I will join #BBCWorld #TheContext to discuss the latest about the #Iran war from the price of #oil, threat to the global economy, ground troops and more. Please join us 2100 GMT in London and 4 PM EDT in Washington. #BBCNews

BBC’s Security Correspondent Frank Gardner on what’s happening in the #war thats just erupted today in the #MiddleEast? He’ll be answering your #questions live on #BBCWorld and #BBCNews at 1630 GMT today.

In countries where there's no media freedom, people risk their personal freedom to speak to or listen to #BBCWorld. Accurate information, a connection to the outside world matter. To let this die would be a betrayal of them and a ridiculous own goal.
Let the FCO fund this, it's our best diplomacy.

Cede the global information scene, and you leave it open to disinformation. The UK's best defence isn't insidious AI from dodgy tech bros who dislike democracy, it's helping democracy be. #BBCWorld

This week I was listening to a BBC World’s show on Cuba and Castro’s response to the flight of Cubans to Florida. Apparently Castro emptied gaols and mental hospitals to infiltrate those fleeing to US. Sound familiar? Think little Marco has taken that story and dug it into Trump’s brain? #bbcworld

I know enough actual journalists, including National award winners. The key is to READ, leaving #BroadcastNews to #PBS, #DemocracyNow, #NPR, #CBC, & #BBCworld. Still, it pays to know what they are spouting on the commercial nets.
