John Simpson: 'I've reported on 40 wars but I've never seen a year like 2025'
🔴 #BBC #JohnSimpson: 2025 could be year for the #history books
ℹ Just occasionally, there are years when the world goes through some fundamental, convulsive change
1968, with the Soviet invasion of #Czechoslovakia, the #Paris riots and the anti #Vietnam #War protests in #America, was one of them
1989, the year of the Tiananmen massacre, the fall of the #Berlin Wall, and the implosion of the #Soviet empire, was another ⤵
🔴 #Ukraine’s campaign of assassination is continuing.
Last week a senior russian missile scientist was killed on the edge of #moscow

"Jon Sopel slams BBC over Hamas as John Simpson hits back"
I like Jon Sopel, but he's wrong on this.
BBC: "Terrorism is a difficult and emotive subject with significant political overtones and care is required in the use of language that carries value judgments."
I am happy to call Hamas terrorists, but when doing so I'm not acting as an impartial news reporter. That's how journalism works, and Sopel knows it.
