Journalist reporting from Ukraine in six different languages

From Sunday Morning, 8:17 am on 13 March 2022

You mightn't instantly recognise the name Philip Crowther, but there's a good chance you've seen the incredible clip of the multilingual Washington DC-based journalist, who is the International Affiliate Reporter for the Associated Press, reporting from Ukraine in six different languages (English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese and Luxembourgish). Crowther covers US diplomacy, foreign policy, politics, and current affairs, and reports from around the world on breaking news stories. He's currently reporting out of Lviv, where we find him this morning. He joins the show to discuss the current situation in Ukraine and how he came to craft his remarkable linguistic skills.
