Good to see a piece last night on the BBC Weekend News Lite late bulletin on the Moldovan elections, from Sarah Rainsford. There's a News Online piece, too. It's the sort of thing that makes BBC News looks distinctive.
Sarah was expelled from Moscow in August 2021. She'd been reporting and producing for the BBC in Russia since 2000, and then in 2020, the visas started getting shorter and shorter. Finally, coming back to Moscow from a trip to Belarus, she was told she was being refused entry to the Russian Federation 'for the protection of the security of Russia'.
Sarah is now based in Warsaw. The BBC's Warsaw bureau is on the list for closure by the Turness administration.
