The Most Distinguished Foreign Correspondent of Our Time has to keep across many stories. Yesterday the BBC World Affairs Editor John Simpson tweeted thus...

Congrats to my colleague Lyse Doucet for her OBE in the Honours List. Brave, thoroughly honest & deeply honourable, it's greatly deserved.

Lyse was made an OBE in the 2014 Birthday Honours List, issued on June 13 2014.
