The woman in a war zone
Sky News correspondent Alex Crawford says there are dangers everywhere, whether in Libya or London
Look around you
A German correspondent in Washington complains that Barack Obama won’t sit for interviews with reporters from other countries. At the risk of further reducing Stephen Harper’s willingness to sit for interviews with reporters from this country, I should point out that our prime minister also sees non-Canadian journalists as unworthy of his time. Usually before G8 meetings a few of the leaders — Bush, Sarkozy, Merkel, Putin last year and I believe Medvedev this year — sit down with reporters from selected G8 member-state news organizations for interviews in the week before the summit. Harper doesn’t partake in this bit of neighbourliness.
