Kate Adie, Chief News Correspondent, BBC, is considered to be among the very finest reporters, as well as one of the first British women, sending despatches from danger zones around the world. She is also familiar as the presenter of Radio Four's From Our Own Correspondent and a guest on many other radio and television programmes. The title of the talk is a phrase which often greets news reporters when they arrive on the scene, and Kate finds it echoing when she embarks on research. She talks about her experiences in a job where danger often accompanies the pursuit of truth or history.
