In 2011 he reported from Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya during the uprisings across the Arab world.  
Among a string of exclusives was the last interview with Pakistan’s Benazhir Bhutto ahead of her return from exile and subsequent assassination.  
Tim now has one of the fastest growing blogs on the web - Foreign Matters at http://blogs.news.sky.com/foreignmatters  which won an Orwell Finalist prize in 2010.
Tim has previously been Diplomatic Correspondent, Middle East Correspondent and Europe Correspondent for the channel before being made Foreign Affairs Editor.
In 2004 Tim was a finalist in the RTS News Event category for his Iraq War coverage. The New York Festival has also recognised Tim’s reporting. He won finalist certificates in 2007, for a report on the Mujahideen, and in 2004 for his documentary The Desert Kingdom which featured exclusive access to Crown Prince Abdullah and his palaces.
Tim spent the majority of the 1999 Kosovo crisis in Belgrade, where he was one of a handful of journalists who stayed on in Serbia/Kosovo after the media was expelled. He returned briefly to the UK to get married, before returning to the Balkans. For the day that the NATO troops advanced into Pristina, Tim was already in the Kosovo capital, and came out to greet them as they entered.
Before joining Sky News, he spent three years as IRN’s Paris Correspondent, and has worked extensively for BBC radio and television over a career spanning  28 years. Tim is also the author of ‘Shadowplay’, a best-selling (and award-winning) chronicle of the Kosovo War and the overthrow of Slobodan Milosevic.
