A memorial to journalists killed while doing their work has been unveiled by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
The 10m (32ft) glass and steel cone on top of BBC Broadcasting House in central London will shine a beam of light into the sky every night at 2200.
It is dedicated to all news journalists and those who have worked with them, including drivers and translators.
Over the past 10 years an estimated two war reporters per week have died, with many more killed covering corruption.

I think it's good to see something like this, some reporters put so much at stake to get the best story. Those that have lost their lives should definitely be remembered.
The latest one to stick in my mind was the Reuters cameraman in Gaza who filmed the shell that kills him been fired. Reality bites. -
plus I think it's very beautiful.

I hope they died doing something they believed in.
