Portfolio
We entered Myanmar under KNLA (Karen National Liberation Army) guard, on roads battered by this year’s rainy season for ITV News.
The jungle through which we ploughed in the eastern Karen State, has become the unforgiving staging ground in a civil war that has been raging for almost four years.
The KNLA is one of the most established of several Burmese ethnic armies that have been gaining ground on the junta since it seized power in a coup in February 2021.
Junta refers to the current Myanmar government that took to power by military means.
It has become increasingly difficult, and dangerous for journalists to enter the country - the military junta doesn’t welcome coverage showing how unstable, and unsafe Myanmar has become under its rule.
With our Sky News team we spend a sizeable amount of time on the eastern front in Ukraine, documenting the on setting fighting around Bakhmut in 2022.
Held on the majestic steppes of western Mongolia, the Yellow Lake Eagle Festival was like nothing I had experienced before.
We were quickly transported into a different world, as registration began for the 25th anniversary year of an event which is a fixture in the diary of nomadic communities from across the Bayan-Olgii region.
The festival is held in the foothills of the imposing Altai mountains, in a part of Mongolia which is home to Mongolian Kazakhs - an ethnic group determined to preserve Kazakh culture and traditions.
