I'm BBC radio’s chief Washington correspondent, and also a television anchor (currently to be seen in the US on the evening BBC World News on PBS stations).

Before arriving in Washington I spent three years as the BBC’s Europe correspondent, based in Brussels, Belgium. Before that, I had stints as a roving foreign correspondent - during which I reported from the first Gulf War, the war in Bosnia, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the first democratic elections in South Africa, and even a coup in the Maldive Islands.

I've also been employed by the BBC as an ambassador for the organisation, holding public meetings and chairing question and answer sessions.

Beyond the BBC, I'm a regular commentator on US/European affairs on Fox News, CNN, and the Diane Rehm show on NPR.

Finally, I was educated at Friends’ School Sidcot and the London School of Economics (graduating in 1983 with an honours degree in economics).
