1/ I was so pleased that CNN's @clarissaward was my guest this week on my show @akhbar. We spoke half hour about her amazing reporting from #Kabul, Afghanistan during recent Taliban takeover. I asked her what the most dangerous moment was during that trip.
2/ CNN's @clarissaward told me she was coincidentally in Kabul when sudden Taliban takeover happened. Many journos left or pulled back to airport but she bravely reported from streets as Talibs took over. However, situation for women now very difficult.
3/ After her daring Kabul reporting, @clarissaward returned to London, where she is based. She's not only @CNN's chief international correspondent but also a mother of two. "My one year old punished me. He was like: 'talk my hand'. It's so heartbreaking."
4/ Me and @clarissaward are in the same domain & met in the field during Syria war. As I recently gave birth, I asked her for advice on how to combine motherhood & crisis reporting. "It's hard, it's a juggling act. Am I doing the right thing? Am I taking too many risks?"

My full 30 mins interview for @akhbar with @clarissaward about her courageous reporting from Kabul during the recent Taliban takeover is now available on YouTube. Great takes on how to work as a (female) crisis reporter and combine it with being a mom.
