At our first event, we were delighted to be in conversation with…

In addition to her presenting duties, Yalda regularly reports in the field for the BBC. Recently, she has been reporting directly from Kabul, including the Panorama show "Return of the Taliban" aired at the end of August 2021. From a headline-making investigation in Afghanistan's Kandahar province to her reporting from Libya during the Arab Spring, Yalda has built up a wealth of journalistic experience around the world. She was a finalist for the Australian Young Journalist of the Year Award and won the United Nations Media Peace Prize for Best Australian Television News coverage in 2009.
And
