I'm the أغر؟´«أ½'s senior North America TV correspondent. Before taking up this post, I was the أغر؟´«أ½'s Asia correspondent - based in Singapore and Hong Kong - a post I started just before the handover to China.

I first joined the أغر؟´«أ½ in 1986 shortly after leaving university, where my first job was in the German section of the أغر؟´«أ½ World Service, before moving to English language current affairs from 1987 to 1988. From 1992 to 1996 I was the أغر؟´«أ½'s correspondent in southern Europe, based in Rome.

I've witnessed many dramatic events, including the fall of Berlin Wall, and I've reported on the intifada and the first Gulf War as the London foreign affairs correspondent.

I was born in Germany, though my family moved to London when I was 10. I read History and Spanish at Oxford University, and graduated in 1986.
