Gaza: BBC's Jeremy Bowen goes onboard a plane dropping aid The BBC's international editor was on a Jordanian flight as it dropped supplies into Gaza.

"The Israelis don't want us to film out of the window at the devastation inside Gaza. But I've spent 10 mins looking at it with my own eyes and I can tell you communities in the north of Gaza, that I knew well, are flat. There's nothing left of them."

The Gregg Wallace affair has not cast the BBC or Masterchef's production company in the best light. | Iain Aitch The Gregg Wallace affair has not cast the BBC or Masterchef's production company in the best light. But it is Wallace's defence of his disgusting behaviour and the mitigation of his defenders ...

I’ve been writing about Gregg Wallace and his attempts to use β€˜working class’ as justification for his actions.

Contains the terms β€˜trouser integrity’ and Arctic Roll. www.linkedin.com/posts/iain-a...

Well, that's UK Masterchef down the toilet. They should revamp it to be more like Australian Masterchef, which is far more like a challenging cookery boot camp, as well as better to watch. It has a four presenter format, which would allow for a wide variety of cuisines and chefs/pundits.
