Warzone reporting from the frontline

Lyse Doucet is the BBC’s Chief International Correspondent and one of the world's most trusted journalists. For more than four decades, she's reported on some of the most defining global stories of our time, from West Africa, Afghanistan and Pakistan to Iran, Iraq, Syria, Ukraine and beyond.

Amber Haque speaks to Lyse about the life and work behind the reports, what first drew her to journalism, and how she's reported on conflict without
losing sight of ordinary lives.

She reflects on reporting from warzones and on the importance of returning, building relationships and looking beyond the headlines to the people living behind the stories. She also talks about her first book, which tells the story of Afghanistan through the lives of the people who worked at Kabul’s Inter-Continental Hotel.
