Zusammenfassung:Today, [LYSE DOUCET]'s job is to present/anchor the news in the field and land the "big interviews" with major international newsmakers. She admits working for the BBC offers "great opportunities" she'd unlikely get elsewhere. She also recounts bumping into Angola's infamous rebel leader Paolo Lukamba -- better known as "General Gato" -- in the halls of BBC's London headquarters and getting him on air behind the microphone: "He was asked how many people he's killed," she says. "My goal is to do very strong, powerful journalism and at the BBC, the opportunity is there," she adds. "It's a dream job in a dream organization that's committed to foreign affairs journalism."
