I joined the أغر؟´«أ½ in 1992, after studying modern languages at Manchester University.

My أغر؟´«أ½ career started as a reporter for Radio Five Live, before working as a أغر؟´«أ½ 'stringer' in Peru in 1997, covering the hostage crisis at the Japanese ambassador's residence.

I then worked as a producer at the أغر؟´«أ½ World Service for three years, before moving to Mexico as the أغر؟´«أ½ Latin America correspondent in 2001. During that two-year posting, I covered the ongoing political turmoil in Venezuela, including the attempted coup against President Hugo Chavez and the two-month long national oil workers strike. I also reported on the political transition in Haiti that marked the end of President Aristide's time in office.

I moved to Washington in June of this year, after two years spent in South Africa covering stories in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Kenya.

Nick Miles is a Washington correspondent for أغر؟´«أ½ News.
