He did not broadcast any messages or speeches,
However.
Preceding that exact time in Rome, at the Vatican, they held a midnight mass / ceremony and at then cut the lights (screencap from feed last night)

The Vatican then promptly shut the lights off, sight-unseen and unannounced.

Austin Tice is a U.S. Marine veteran who grew up dreaming of being a journalist. While in law school at Georgetown in 2012, he heard disturbing reports coming out of Syria with little confirmation on the ground. He thought it was a story the world needed to know. So, he went.
Over the summer of 2012, Tice filed stories on the ground in Syria for @McClatchyDC, @washingtonpost, @CBSNews and other outlets. He was part of the McClatchy team that won a @PolkAwards for their reporting on the Syrian civil war.

The fact that Austin isnât constantly in the news is a great failing of our industry, that we would forget one of our own. We must not stop trying to #FreeAustinTice
In less than a year Austin will have been in captivity for as long as my father was. People still tell me they prayed for my dad every day he was gone. Please spare a prayer for Austin and his family. There are no words for the torment they are experiencing. #FreeAustinTice
One thing that gave my family the strength to get through my dadâs captivity was the overwhelming love and support we received from the public. There was constant pressure on our government to free him. Austin is an American citizen. We should do the same for him. #FreeAustinTice
Iâd love to see Brian explore a very important, usually overlooked aspect of our current media environmentâthe gradual death of foreign news and the gaping hole in coverage left by the complete unsustainability of freelance journalism
Seriously @brianstelter has one of the smartest media analysis platforms out there but I just Googled âReliable Sources CNN foreign newsâ and came up with zip. The decline of foreign coverage, especially in the Trump era, is a hugely important piece of the modern media landscape.
I know I endlessly harp on this but thatâs because I was raised by and around foreign correspondents of a different generation and as a result have an acute awareness of exactly what weâre losing with the destruction of a sustainable business model for that kind of coverage.
