    Yesterday, in recently liberated village of Mykhailivka, #Kherson, the remaining (mainly elderly) residents gave us fascinating insights into the sham referendum there at end of September.

    Good morning. I’m in Salerno (south of Naples) to cover the funerals of the 26 Nigerian women (mainly teenagers) who drowned crossing Med on the 3rd Nov.

    Over last 2 days, we’ve traveled to villages in the Kherson region, which have been retaken by Ukrainian forces. We’ve drilled into stories of war crimes, some committed by convicts released from prison in the so called ‘Donetsk People Republic’, fighting with the Russians.

    One of the elderly women asked “Why the armed escort?” Reply “In case we get attacked by a dog.” Cue laughter.

    I understand the interest in #titanicsub. Something to also think about: The scene now at the tiny fishing harbour of El Lousa, #Tunisia. Boat capsized with 40 people. 11 drowned. Bodies arriving into port. Happening almost everyday. Pictures to follow

    On #C4News tonight we’re reporting on the treatment of students from African countries fleeing Ukraine. We’ve seen disturbing footage of black people arriving in from #Ukriane being chased through the streets of Przemysl (border town in Poland) by far-right ‘patrols’.
