After a long career in television, Bill Proctor could have spent his retirement out of the spotlight. Instead, he has been trying to track a killer.

BBC in Canada looking for stories
So watching BBC World News whilst getting ready for dinner and apparently their pop up team is in Canada.
For those who don’t know this is a team of BBC journalists who travel around looking for stories in an area or country that don’t often break the headlines.
So they’re looking for stories via Twitter. Think the hashtag is #bbcpopup but I’d check.
So any Canadians on here let them know. Be it about Mounties Vs Indigenous People or elections or anything
Thought I’d let you know.
Yes we are - watch more here and follow along with our Pop Up blog
Why do South African newspapers always discuss the alleged “genocide” against white farmers, while ignoring the far more bloody and systematic campaign of violence against impoverished Somali shopkeepers in Soweto or around Cape Town? Why do the television crews still gravitate towards foreign humanitarian workers during emergencies, with their convenient planes and well-stocked compounds? And - in the same spirit - how much unquestioning focus should one give to the “Africa Rising” narrative, so well articulated by the social-media-wired, urban, aspirational middle classes of Nairobi or Lagos? Because the truth, hard-learned on dirt roads and neglected corners, is that the majority - the often-voiceless majority - on this continent are still facing daunting challenges: from soaring prices, to unemployment, wretched schools and hospitals, an absence of justice, and most pressingly of all - insecurity. That applies in the beleaguered townships of South Africa, in the forests of the Central African Republic, the besieged towns of north-eastern Nigeria, the slums of Monrovia, and on the endless battlefields of South Sudan. Of course there is plenty going impressively, fantastically right here - the arc of history bending towards optimism and all that. But it seems to me that a bias towards the powerless and voiceless is a reasonable and necessary one - especially when they still seem to be in the majority.
Andrew Harding | My time in Africa: Lessons, experiences and concessions
BBC’s Africa correspondent Andrew Harding last column announcing his departure from BBC to pen a book “about some of the garrulous, irascible, wonderful people I’ve come to know in Mogadishu and beyond”. I’ll miss Harding’s take on Africa, and whoever replaces certainly has their work work cut out for them . Anyone here, remember, Harding’s annual African predictions, stuff of legends …

This must be one of the most romantic and beautiful reportage stories I’ve read.
In a packed Cairo courtroom, a nervous quiet reigned on Saturday as Judge Hassan Farid read his long delayed verdict in the retrial of three al-Jazeera journalists.
Then, there was a stunned silence shattered by the sobbing of Marwa Omara, as she learned that the defendants, including her husband Mohamed Fahmy, were about to return to jail convicted on charges ranging from broadcasting "false news" to operating from a local hotel without a licence.
As a media forest of cameras and microphones turned towards Marwa who slumped down, head in hands, they also caught in their glare the British-Lebanese barrister Amal Clooney placing a comforting arm around her.
In a rare interview with BBC’s Lyse Doucet, Amal Clooney describes the dilemma what steps to take next.
"We have two avenues but the one we are pushing for the most is for President Sisi to issue a pardon,"
"To issue a pardon would mean the conviction is reversed and it would apply to all journalists not just those who are foreign.”

I am incredibly happy at this news :)
The BBC speaks to two women who say their lives have been dramatically affected by the hacking of infidelity dating website Ashley Madison.
When infidelity dating site Ashley Madison was hacked, the details of 33 million user accounts were published on the web.
The BBC has spoken to two women, one whose fiance used the site and one who used it herself.
Neither wanted to be identified, but their stories give some hint of just how dramatic and wide-reaching the impact of the hack has been.
Black pitmasters left out of US barbecue boom - BBC News
The US is in the midst of a barbecue boom. But as television programmes and restaurants celebrate mostly white pitmasters, are the cuisine's African-American roots being forgotten?
on the 1-year anniversary of Mike Brown’s death, RUN THE JEWELS talk with BBC to say “Riots work”
“i’m an American because of a riot. the Boston Tea Party is sold to us from the time we’re kindergarteners to the time we graduate from high school, we’re told that Americans and Patriots got so fed up with paying taxes to the crown that they decided to burn some shit to the ground. that’s what the sell to us”
