In February 2015 Russian politician Boris Nemtsov — a fierce critic of Putin  — was shot dead on a bridge in the shadow of the Kremlin.

Five men were convicted for the murder, but the most urgent questions were never answered: who ordered the hit, and why?
Now, a new film from our team at BBC Eye Investigations, working with @bellingcat and @the_ins_ru, reveals that, in the year running up to the murder, Nemtsov was being shadowed by a government agent linked to a secret assassination squad…
…the same assassination squad that poisoned @navalny
The short version of our film is in this article…bbc.co.uk/news/world-eur…
Full documentary on YouTube in a couple of hours #BBCEyeInvestigations #NothingStaysHiddenForever

Here’s @bellingcat’s piece on the investigation
And here’s @the_ins_ru’s story

It’s been an incredible week for our Open Source investigations team at #BBCAfricaEye. A short thread...

First, we saw the killers of these kids jailed in Cameroon
There’s detail on the sentencing here. The three men jailed are the same three named 2 years ago in our original report, plus their commander. Thanks to everyone who was part of this - it was a huge team effort bbc.co.uk/news/world-afr…
We also published this new investigation, which holds Nigeria’s state oil firm (the immensely powerful @NNPCgroup), to account for a devastating explosion in #Lagos that destroyed a school and killed 23 people

Opportunity for African video journalists, producers, and documentary filmmakers.

We have created a new #BBCAfricaEye training in the art & craft of documentary storytelling.

Thread…
This course is *not* about how to shoot or edit. We’re working with a lot of people who can film and cut beautifully. We also have a network of great investigators and reporters across the continent.

But documentary storytelling…that’s a harder challenge.
The training is about how to find and develop incredible stories, how to imagine them as visual narratives, and how to direct and structure those stories in the field and in the edit.

Refugee Blues, W.H.Auden, March 1939... 1/6 Image
Say this city has ten million souls,
Some are living in mansions, some are living in holes:
Yet there’s no place for us, my dear, there’s no place for us.
Once we had a country and we thought it fair,
Look in the atlas and you’ll find it there:
But we cannot go there now, my dear, we cannot go there now.

One more push for our latest #BBCAfricaEye film - a damning expose of how multinational sports betting companies extract vast amounts of $ from the young, the poor, and the desperate in Uganda. Amazing work by @Zoe_Flood @namlyd & @MuhindaCollins
Thanks to everyone who worked on this in Uganda, and to all the people discussing the film & the issue so thoughtfully online. Comments can be a garbage fire sometimes, but honestly when you do public service journalism these are the kinds of comments that make it worthwhile ImageImageImage

48 hours in NYC which is still, even in its gentrified and hipsterfied state, one of the most fascinating cities in the world Image
This is the ferry to Staten Island, which is free and just runs back and forth across the water all day, right past Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty ImageImageImage
I got to see round the @nytimes thanks to the generous welcome of @malachybrowne and @trbrtc. This is the view down 8th Ave ImageImage

You can now watch all 4 of our @BBCAfrica short films exploring aspects of masculinity across the continent. The first was this beautiful but devastating film by @petemurimi, who investigated an unreported #mentalhealth crisis in rural Kenya #BBCAfricaEye
From the #DRC, @aaronajourno looked at a remarkable initiative by @ilotmuthaka and @Comen_RDC to end sexual violence #CongoMensNetwork
We looked the role of male mentorship in the lives of boys - and met one young man (@mickmigwan) whose life was turned around in part thanks to the friendship and support of a father figure (@MwauraFredrick)
