Say something about the circumstances of the writing of A Letter to Daniel

 

What was the audience's response to it on the radio?

 

Do you think you were touching on something new writing about this?

 

How do you see the value of individual lives in the context of reporting politics and wider issues - do you think there's a way of approaching that subject?

Is this quite a controversial discussion going on within reporting? Your books and reporting have been extremely well received but attacked in some quarters

Did the birth of Daniel affect your professional values?

How important to you was your book about Rwanda?

Did writing the book help to sort that out, was it a cathartic experience?

You recently undertook a tour of the poorest areas in Britain, from which your new paperback A Stranger's Eye emerged. How did witnessing the deprivation make you feel - pessimistic, or do you think there are possibilities for change and improvement?

Are there any books about reporting or books of memoirs that are particular favourites of yours that you would like to recommend?
