Standing by to follow in the footsteps of Arthur Burrows who was the first voice on the BBC, reading the 6pm news bulletin on 14th November 1922. P.S there’s a special treat at the end…

The first news bulletin on the BBC was read twice; the second time slower so people could take notes apparently. No time for that today I’m afraid - you’ll just have to keep up! #happybirthday

I’m being asked a lot about the various pronunciations of Kyiv. This is the guidance from the bbc pronunciation unit. It’s an anglicisation of the Ukrainian.
