Journalism

His specialist areas include economics, the EU and international diplomacy; he has a keen interest in issues surrounding the single currency. Whilst working at BBC World News, he was perhaps most infamous for an apparent lack of punctuation during a rehearsal before the hourly news bulletin, leading to him transitioning immediately and without pause from the introduction to the first story, resulting in an accidental suggestion that he had been “kept hidden for almost two decades and forced to bear children”.
