🔴 #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 ⤵

"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.

"#Russia's problems today are the same as they were in 1917...Scarcely anyone seems prepared to stand up voluntarily and defend the state...Today, Russia's government is every bit as brittle as it was in 1991 and 1917. #Putin can't really be certain that anyone much will help him stay in power."

From #bbc’s #world affairs editor #JohnSimpson: “The #chinese #communist #party under #xijinping can’t allow itself to listen to demands to ease up on its rigid #covid #policies. Instead it’s sending #students home from #universities. The #police patrol the streets, checking people’s #phones at random & #deleting stuff they don’t like.”

#bbc’s #world affairs editor #JohnSimpson has just posted on #Twitter about #China situation: “#Xi Jinping believes the Soviet Union fell because under Mikhail Gorbachev it became too Westernised, soft and liberal. But being too tough and unyielding can be dangerous too — as Xi may be starting to find out.” #protests anti #zeroCovid anti #lockdown #shanghai #beijing #chengdu
