Arrived this evening on the last train in to Glasgow from London tonight for #cop26. Will be here for the next three weeks covering the shebang for Scoop.co.nz.
My @AvantiWestCoast train departed Euston Station in London at 5pm….
All up the terrestrial trip from Bretagne took 2 days, beginning in St Malo, crossing the channel with Brittany Ferries featuring a stopover in Portsmouth.
London was in good form….
On the train trip north I found myself sitting next to a fellow Kiwi heading home to Lancaster, Nicola from Rotorua.
It’s super cool to be back in Glasgow, where my Grandfather Peter learned his trade in printing. After WWI he emigrated to Wellington bringing new photo lithography technology to the Dominion Newspaper, where I started as a reporter 30 years ago.
Tis a lovely and lively City.
And it’s great to be back.

@reda_getachew 1. Towards the beginning he discusses the air-strikes, and in doing so he suggests that the UN was warned by the Ethiopian Govt. about the coming air strikes.
@reda_getachew My unconfirmed report is this. UN had staff stationed in the Planet Hotel - the site of one of the first airstrikes on Monday. And my source told me that the building was also occupied by TPLF leadership.
