I think he is prob the best news reporter on TV here in the Uk over the past 10 years. He has very interesting background from what I gather (WHat my Dad tells me!) and is married to a English women.

He has left the BBC, like most good BBC news people, to join AL Jazeera quite recently. I think he has written some books too.

Yes, he was born in Somalia to a rich family
well, its good to get commentary from someone that has seen his work
seems very good and likable, also

He slagged off the BBC when he left, saying they wouldn't allow him to be independent. I wonder how independent he is now being payed by the Sheiks??


(Although from the reporting I see on Al Jazeeera, its alot more independent than the terrible Fox, Cnn, FranceNews or CCTV!!)
