Kirsty Young's castaway is the journalist and broadcaster Christiane Amanpour. Her career as a reporter was forged in some of the world's most hostile environments from Bosnia to Rwanda and Iraq to Israel. From the early '90s onwards she was so ubiquitous on screen that her peers in the press pack coined the darkly comic phrase "where there's a war, there's Amanpour."

Born to an Iranian father and a British mother, she initially wanted to be a doctor, but the Revolution in Iran in 1979 galvanised her political consciousness and she turned to journalism. Her first major assignment was in Saudi Arabia where she covered the 1990 invasion of Kuwait. She describes her time in Bosnia as a life-changing experience which made her determined to tell the stories of ordinary people caught up in the chaos of conflict.

During her career she has interviewed some of the biggest names on the world stage from Bill Clinton and Tony Blair to Robert Mugabe and Colonel Gaddafi. The winner of 11 Emmy Awards, she now anchors her own nightly television show on CNN although she can be whisked away at a moment's notice to cover major disasters around the globe. She has borne witness to some of history's worst atrocities but what gets her through is her eternal optimism and the courage and dignity of humanity.



记者兼广播员克里斯蒂安娜-阿曼普尔。她的记者生涯是在一些世界上最恶劣的环境中形成的，从波斯尼亚到卢旺达，从伊拉克到以色列。从90年代初开始，她在屏幕上无处不在，以至于她在新闻界的同行们创造了 "哪里有战争，哪里就有阿曼普尔 "的黑色滑稽句子。

她的父亲是伊朗人，母亲是英国人，她最初想成为一名医生，但1979年的伊朗革命激发了她的政治意识，她转向了新闻业。她的第一个重要任务是在沙特阿拉伯报道1990年入侵科威特的事件。她说，她在波斯尼亚的经历改变了她的生活，使她决心讲述陷入冲突混乱中的普通人的故事。

在她的职业生涯中，她曾采访过世界舞台上的一些大人物，从比尔-克林顿和托尼-布莱尔到罗伯特-穆加贝和卡扎菲上校。她是11个艾美奖的得主，现在是美国有线电视新闻网（CNN）自己的夜间电视节目的主播，尽管她可以在接到通知后立即离开，报道全球的重大灾难。她见证了一些历史上最严重的暴行，但让她度过难关的是她永恒的乐观精神以及人类的勇气和尊严。
