Caution and veracity needed, but if substantiated then as a journalist who covered the conflict - including in Sarajevo - accountability is vital for those Bosnians who were victims and those who lost loved ones. This beggars belief. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just got my hands on this. Written by my colleague Jason Burke a terrific writer and journalist. Our paths have crossed in the past, especially covering the Arab and Islamic world and if his previous books are anything to go by this too will be a cracker. Fascinating period.

Have just read your article. Spot on re our Scottish politicians. They need to be bolder, braver and sell the vision of a self-governing country.

Recent addition to my photography book collection. Raymond Depardon’s wonderful 80 black-and-white photographic essay on the villages in the Mediterranean inland region of Southern France, taken in the summer of 2020 after the first COVID-19 lockdown. Sublime work.
