BBC Breakfast's Graham Satchell broke down during a live report from Paris today.
The reporter was overcome with emotion as he spoke live from the French capital in the aftermath of Friday's terrorist attack that killed at least 129 people.
Satchell, a dad of three, was speaking about the hope felt among Parisians when he had to stop for a moment.
Clearly distressed from the events of the last four days, he pauses and looks down from the camera.

Briefly speaking on air again to announce he has finished his report, he wells up again and walks off camera.
Viewers took to Twitter to commend Satchwell, who has worked for the BBC for 20 years, for his "honest reporting".
President Francois Hollande led the country in a minute's silence at noon France time, in memory of those killed in the massacres.
The death toll in Paris currently stands at 129 people while another 415 people were admitted to hospital of which 42 are in a critical condition.
