It is with the utmost sadness that we have to report the death of International Master Michael Basman - the founder of the UK Chess Challenge. Our thoughts go out to his family and close friends. The chess world has lost an amazing person 💙♟

The BBC Micro was a breakthrough in technology, accelerating learning about computers amongst the general public.
Its success led to the development of ARM chipsets which power nearly all mobile phones today, and the latest Apple Mac computers

Our thoughts, as always, are with all those affected by the tragedy at Hillsborough 33 years ago today and the 97 fans who will never be forgotten.
You'll Never Walk Alone.

People are sharing a screenshot which makes it look like the BBC claimed that only 350 people attended the anti-lockdown protests in London at the weekend.
But the screenshot is fake and the BBC didn't claim this.

Service will be patchy today. Am spending a couple of days at a major London hospital. Full piece to come but spending time on a ward full of patients gasping for air is deeply sobering. One woman has lost her husband and two children to Covid and is fighting for her own life.

We welcome the fact that Julian Assange will not be sent to the USA, but this does not absolve the UK from having engaged in this politically-motivated process at the behest of the USA and putting media freedom and freedom of expression on trial.

Delighted to receive today in Oxford my first dose of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. Everyone should take it as soon as they have the opportunity. No side effects so far, by the way.

Through his 33 years at @BBC_Cumbria @martinlewes pioneered new technology and loved Twitter before most of us had heard of it. Wouldn't it be fun to get him trending on his last day at the beeb #martinlewes @NickGarnettBBC @callummay @ChrisMasonBBC @bbclaurak @ranvir01

#ThingsWeDidntSayIn1982 There is no scientific basis for the conspiracy theories linking 5G to the spread of coronavirus. Test results show that UK 5G continues to operate well within internationally-accepted safety levels: ofcom.in/5GCovidMyth
ALT Infographic showing current and future 5G airwaves, all within 'non-ionising radiation' frequency bands (other items include 2G, 3G and 4G airwaves, Wifi and Terrestrial TV). This means it does not have sufficient energy to break chemical bonds or remove electrons, as opposed to ‘ionising radiation’, which occurs at much higher frequencies and is generally considered hazardous to humans. Example: X-rays & Ultraviolet

New @TheIET report looks into #5G and concludes that it is just as safe as 4G, 3G and 2G. The report investigates the new technology separating out hoaxes from legitimate questions and concludes it is safe. Read more here -

If “all lives matter” then you’ll get your family vaccinated and support universal health care. Right?
