Whatever are the BBC doing having Clive Myrie and Paul Adams still in Kyiv given the Russian invasion.

[douglas9401]

I know, whatever happened to gender balance?

[naomi24]

Expect Orla Guerin to arrive shortly ....

That girl always seems to be in the thick of it.

[grumpy01]

She’s in one of the areas where they have invaded.

[bobbinwales]

Thats what reporters do- remember Kate Adie etc

[naomi24]

She's currently working in Turkey ... apparently.

[Lie-in King]

Naomi - looks like she's in Ukraine now - https://tinyurl.com/5hyav7h6

[Hopkirk]

Nick Robinson did his morning R4 programme from there too

[anneasquith]

They are war correspondents.

[naomi24]

There you go. Thanks lik.

[Hopkirk]

How will they get out when they need to? Perhaps that nice Mr. Putin will help.

[bednobs]

and in other BBC news related q's what has happened to their new studio (AKA dingy warehouse) in Wales? i havent seen the news presented from there since the first night!

[jno]

you wait till England invade Wales, bednobs, it'll be rolling news 24/7

[Bazile]

Do war correspondents get danger money ?

[gness]

Don't know about that, Baz but I did once ask Kate Adie how she got travel insurance... :-)

[naomi24]

Bazile, Orla is on a salary of about £160,000 pa. putting that into some sort of perspective, Gary Lineker is on £1 million plus.

[gingejbee]

Why single-out the BBC? Don't all media outlets have people there...it's their job.

[Hopkirk]

If my employer told me to go to a warzone as part of my job, I would tell them to stick their job.

[ichkeria]

Is that a serious question?

I despair

[naomi24]

That’s why you’re not a war correspondent and they are, hopkirk.

[Arrods]

…… or in the army.
