Hala Jaber has won plaudits for her courageous reporting from around the world, particularly in Iraq, where she was one of the last correspondents to leave Falluja when it came under heavy bombardment by US forces.
Named foreign correspondent of the year for the second year running in 2006, British-Lebanese Hala Jaber has shown continued commitment to reporting from Iraq, co-winning the Martha Gellhorn Prize for her coverage in 2007.
It was during one of her many visits that the Sunday Times journalist met Zahra, aged 3, and Hawra, just a few months old, who were the only survivors of a missile strike in Baghdad in 2003 that killed their parents and five siblings.
In conversation with Kirsty Lang, of BBC Radio 4's Front Row, Hala Jaber will be talking about her experiences reporting war and her struggle to save the two girls - the story she tells in her new book The Flying Carpet to Baghdad.

This event will be chaired by Julian Rush.
According to the UK government chief scientist Prof John Beddington, by 2030 the growing world population will cause a "perfect storm" of food, energy and water shortages. As the population tops 8.3 billion, demand for food and energy will jump 50% by 2030 and for fresh water by 30%.
Labour MP Colin Challen will be discussing the issued raised in his new book Too Little, Too Late: the Politics of Climate Change, and asking why tougher policies are not being followed through to tackle climate change, presenting arguments from the perspective of an elected politician. Challen condemns the inability of political parties to form consensus around meaningful responses and in this one-on-one discussion, offers suggestions to a governmental solution of the problem.
This unique insight will touch upon the causation and prevention of climate change and will discuss the policies that can be implemented by the British and international governments to avoid the global problems of the impending perfect storm.
Colin Challen has been a labour MP for Morley and Rothwell since 2001 and has campaigned on the issue of Climate change in parliament, both presenting Bills and speaking up for radical action. He is also a founding member of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Climate Change.
His other publications are: The Quarrelsome Quill, Hulls Radical Press from 1832 (Hull, 1984); In Defence of the Party: The Secret State, the Conservative Party and dirty tricks (with Mike Hughes) (Leeds, 1996); Save as you Travel: New Directions in Mutual Ownership (Wakefield, 1999); The Price of Power: the secret funding of the Conservative Party (London, 1998). He was editor, Labour Organiser 1997 to 2001.
This event is chaired by Julian Rush, Science and Environment Correspondent of Channel 4 News. Julian has won several British Environment Media Awards for his environment new reporting.
