There was no equal pay law when I started working. I was no different to any other woman in any other job at the time.

I was sent to a nice Church of England girls' school and at that time, after university, a woman was expected to become a teacher, a nurse or a missionary - prior to marriage.

Having had loving people who brought me up, and then I find another set of people. That really is a double blessing.

Now children as young as nine carry AK47s which can kill 30 people in seconds.

I don't want to be involved in endless media gossip.

If I'm in danger then it's usually my fault and it's up to me to get myself out of it. I am not in it just to get an adrenalin rush. No way!

War zones are dangerous, protests can be violent, also, natural disasters are difficult to cover, so there are going to be risks.
