The Kremlin’s reporter
Most ordinary Russians will see their president, Vladimir Putin, through the eyes of just one journalist, Pavel Zarubin.
Pavel Zarubin has access to President Putin that other journalists can only dream of. He interviews him regularly, and travels around the world covering huge geopolitical meetings, even posting to his vast social media audience from Putin's meetings with Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, and even from under the table of Putin's meeting with Kim Jong Un. ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Russian's Elizaveta Fokht traces his career from truth seeking young reporter, to being the President's favoured journalist.
Sana Mir is one of Pakistan’s most famous cricket players. She played for her country in 226 matches, captaining the team in 137 of them. Being a woman in cricket in Pakistan was not always easy for her, but she has been very outspoken about the sexism and body shaming she faced as a professional athlete. She recently was the first Pakistani woman to be inducted into the International Cricket Council’s hall of fame, and Nazish Fiaz of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Urdu went to interview her.
