Tim Marshall is Foreign Affairs Editor for Sky News and a recognised authority on this area. He has reported from Europe, the USA and Asia. Having served in the RAF prior to his journalistic career, he has reported from a number of war zones. His most notable work for the channel is perhaps a six hour unbroken broadcast during the first Gulf War.
He spent most of the 1999 Kosovo War reporting from Belgrade, being one of very few western journalists allowed to report from one of the main targets of NATO bombing raids. When the Nato troops entered Priština, Tim was there to greet them as they arrived. His one (brief) return trip to the UK during the Kosovo conflict was to get married. More recently, he reported from the frontline during the invasion of Afghanistan and has spent a considerable amount of time in Iraq, reporting on the country's transition to democracy. In August 2005 he covered the Israeli pull-out from Gaza.
He has also been Middle East Correspondent and Europe Correspondent for the channel, and regularly contributes to the channel's World News Tonight international news bulletin (including as stand-in host).
Prior to joining Sky News, he reported for IRN, and has also worked in various capacities for the BBC.
He is reported to be a supporter of Leeds United.
