Nick Robinson looks and sounds dreadful in this interview. You can't tell me that's a well man. Either his cancer's come back or he's suffering from liver disease.

Kathie Lee Gifford revealed she was hospitalized for a week after fracturing her pelvis in a fall, while recovering from hip replacement surgery. All this seems to have happened quite recently.

Long-time Independent war correspondent (and later diplomatic editor) Kim Sengupta dead at 67. Must have been sudden: was still tweeting on the 27th, and filing copy last Thursday.

 

Today's i has an obituary piece in tribute to him, which states, "Tributes were paid to Segupta, who died suddenly on Sunday". So yes, a good writer (and a brave man, reading up on what he's done: nearly blown up in a suicide bombing in Baghdad, at one point the only international journalist in Aleppo, having got there through the sewers).
