Blogging has been light today for reasons I can now make public.

We heard about this at lunchtime and have been working frantically to arrange her evacuation out of Somalia.

BBC PRODUCER SHOT IN SOMALIA
By Caroline Gammell, PA
A BBC producer was shot and wounded in Somalia today.

Kate Peyton, 39, had just arrived in Mogadishu with BBC reporter Peter Greste when the incident occurred.

It is thought she was hit outside the Sahafi Hotel in the Somalian capital earlier today.

Ms Peyton underwent surgery for a bullet wound and her injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.

Few details were known about the shooting but the producer's relatives have been informed.

Ms Peyton and Mr Greste had travelled to Somalia to make a series of reports on the troubled east African country.

Mr Greste was unharmed, a BBC spokeswoman said.

Ms Peyton, who was brought up in Africa, has worked for the BBC as a producer and reporter since 1993 and is based in Johannesburg.

She also worked as a producer for the South African Broadcasting Corporation in Johannesburg."
