With online abuse against journalists on the rise, @abbeymaclure & I developed some short videos to help journalism students to be resilient. Based on interviews with industry professionals, the main message is – you don’t just have to put up with it. Thread ⬇️ #DontTakeTheFlak

What a lovely space that’s been created in #Shipley by @CellarTrust to provide vital mental health support. The new Farfield well-being centre also has beautiful gardens and the local community will be welcome to enjoy them. A lovely calm space. I was at the opening for @bcbradio

Honestly @BBCiPlayer is hopeless for #Wimbledon. 2nd half of Draper match not working at all. It can’t be that hard can it? I recorded the 1st half but then it switched channels. All over the shop 😖

Well, cover me with eggs and flour and bake me for 14 minutes. I’ve had a home insurance renewal quote that’s actually cheaper than the previous year. Thank you @mbna

Have to say staff in the #Pudsey ⁦@marksandspencer⁩ store were brilliant today despite the cyber problems. Very professional. It must have been a nightmare for them 👏🏻 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdxn…

M&S stops online orders and issues refunds after cyber attack

The firm has stopped taking orders on its website and apps, including for food and clothes.

Thoroughly recommend this programme on the Balkans by ⁦@BBCkatyaadler⁩ - quite an eye-opener . She is very measured and doesn’t sensationalise hurray. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

The Balkans: Europe’s Forgotten Frontier - Series 1: Episode 1

The BBC's Europe editor Katya Adler travels to Croatia, Bosnia and Albania. Thirty years on from the Yugoslav wars of independence, she discovers a beautiful region undergoing rapid change.

A new series of portraits of #Bradford teenagers had been unveiled at the Bradford Royal Infirmary. They’re taken by photographer @tarlyn as part of the @BiBresearch Age of Wonder Teenage Stories. I spoke to those involved for @bcbradio - catch my interviews later today after 5pm

Have to say the portraits add a really human touch where so often hospitals have rather anonymous neutral artwork on the walls. One nurse said she loved going to see them in her break. Find them on the level 1 corridor near Outpatients West. @_katelightfoot
