Interviews

Deborah Hobson

It’s the morning of my interview with the wealthy self-made man and founder of The Big Issue, the weekly news and current affairs magazine sold by the homeless. I’m meeting John Bird midday at the GMTV breakfast show studios at Southbank, near Waterloo, south London, in Britain, and the encounter promises to be anything but dull.

Newsreader Moira Stuart has never been publicly linked to anyone romantically and she is intensely private. But, in February, 1999 - when she faced the same career crisis as today - she spoke frankly with editor of The-Latest and fellow broadcaster  Marc Wadsworth.

 

Pickles, the dog, made an earth shattering discovery 40 years ago. The cross-breed Collie sniffed out the priceless12-inch solid gold Jules Rimet World Cup trophy in a south London street. It brought to an end a desperate week-long search after the famous prize was stolen from an exhibition in Central Hall, Westminster, London,  just months before the 1966 World Cup hosted by England, the eventual winners. Phil Simms spoke exclusively to David Corbett, Pickles's owner, for The-Latest. 

Seymour Hersh, one of the world's best known investigative journalists, has turned his attention to the mysterious and controversial bombing of a Syrian facility by Israel.
