Thinking exactly same about respected #BBC foreign affairs correspondent #LyseDoucet on #r4 just now.
BBC’s #LyseDoucet talks to #female #Afghan #poets about the landay: a 22-syllable Pashtun verse form they create, perform+share to speak of #love, #sex, #war and hardship. 16.00 10.3.26 then #BBCSounds.
Only the BBC would do this. Free to hear. Funded by <48p per day per UK household licence fee.
Watching the #BBCNews channel and somehow in the fog of war isn't #LyseDoucet admirable? Always factual, always measured, always objective. An ideal correspondent.
I avoid all #BBCNews now , only #VictoriaDerbyshire or #LyseDoucet are worthy of being called #journalists
