How foreign correspondents covered the start of the US-Israeli war with Iran

Hear how journalists worked in the early days of the war as air raid sirens rang out across Israel and the challenges of reporting from a warzone

What’s it like being a TV or radio journalist when war breaks out?

In this episode of the Eurovision News Podcast, host Giles Gibson brings you a snapshot of the first few days of the US-Israeli War with Iran, from the perspective of three foreign correspondents who were in Israel when the conflict started.

Veteran BBC foreign correspondent and presenter Clive Myrie explains how he presents the news from a hotel balcony as air raid sirens ring out; SBS News correspondent Ben Lewis talks about the challenges of working solo in a warzone; and ARD radio reporter Jan-Christoph Kitzler, who’s based in Tel Aviv, also breaks down how the initial hours of the war played out in Israel.
