is one of the longest-serving anchors in international 24
hour TV news.
He
was a member of the original team of BBC News 24 and BBC
World and before that he was the launch presenter of Sky

In
2002, he returned to the BBC from a three year posting in

With
over 25 years broadcast news experience, Alastair has had
a classical journalist career.
Among

Gulf, Kosovo and Bosnia wars; the Fall of the Berlin wall;
Nelson Mandela's release from prison and the handover of
Hong Kong to China.
His
early TV reporting was spent with BBC Midlands, Grampian
in Scotland and Anglia TV. Before that, he was with BBC local
radio in Derby, Leicester and WM.
Alastair

culture and people takes him on regular trips abroad.
In
the past two years alone he's been to China, Hong Kong, Thailand,
Indonesia, Singapore, South Africa, The United Arab Emirates,
Seattle, Chicago, Washington, New York, Los Angeles, France
and Italy.
