Stephen Sackur
Stephen Sackur is a seasoned British journalist and television presenter, best known for hosting the BBC's international interview program HARDtalk for nearly two decades. Born in 1961 in Spilsby, Lincolnshire, Sackur began his career at the BBC in 1986, eventually becoming a foreign correspondent covering major global events. His interviewing style is characterized by a forensic approach that holds powerful figures accountable, often leaving them squirming under his scrutiny. Despite the show's high popularity, it was recently announced that HARDtalk would be discontinued, a decision Sackur publicly criticized, expressing his disappointment over what he sees as a loss for serious journalism at the BBC.
