Kylie Morris

Biography

As Asia correspondent Kylie was based in Bangkok, Thailand, and reported from all over Asia. She was among the first correspondents to reach the Lebanese border towns devastated by Israeli forces in July 2006.

She covered the plight of women during Channel 4 News's Afghanistan week, and covered the coup in Thailand in September.

She joined the programme this year after six years as a BBC foreign correspondent.

During that time she covered the second intifada in Gaza, and postwar Afghanistan. She was based in Thailand at the time of the Indian Ocean tsunami and has reported from war-time Iraq.

In 2003, she was embedded with British forces in Iraq. She won a UK Foreign Press Association award for her work covering the aftermath of the attempt to kill southern commander, General Ali Hassan al-Majid - also known as Chemical Ali.

Kylie had the dubious honour of interviewing former glam rock star Gary Glitter inside his Vietnamese prison earlier this year.

Her first assignment for Channel 4 was the conflict in Lebanon in July; her team was among the first to reach border towns like Bint Jubeil which had been cut off for weeks by the fighting.

She began her journalistic career with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, before coming to the UK in 1998.
