Jonathan Sacerdoti

Breaking news reporter, UK correspondent, terrorism analyst

An experienced live reporter covering breaking news stories, I reported on London's Finsbury Park Mosque attack, London's Grenfell Tower fire, from the London Bridge terrorist attacks, the Westminster Bridge attack, the Manchester Arena suicide bombing, the March 2016 Brussels bombings, and the November 2015 Paris terror attacks, live on i24news, Fox News, NDTV and CGTN. 

I broadcast foreign and UK stories, from political and cultural news to opinion and in depth analysis, on BBC, ITV1 (UK), ITN, Al Jazeera, CBC News, Sky News, Fox News, CCTV-America, NDTV (India), France24, CGTN, i24news, Radio Dubai Eye and LBC Radio. I have been published by the Daily Telegraph, The Times, HaAretz, and News Statesman among others.

As a foreign correspondent on international TV station i24news, I report regularly on breaking news, British and European politics, as well as Jewish cultural stories.

I also appeared extensively on BBC coverage of Middle Eastern news, including BBC World when the Israeli hostage Gilad Shalit was released, during the Saudi King's funeral on Sky News and also on the BBC as the uprising in Egypt's Tahrir Square unfolded. I am particularly in demand as a commentator onterrorist attacks on Western and European targets.

I'm comfortable discussing wider cultural and political topics, and have discussed opera productions and Internet memes on Channel 4 News, the evolution of Saturday night television formats on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, and previewed the newspapers on Sky.

I have spoken as a keynote speaker and as a panellist at international conferences organised by Harvard University, National Chengchi University in Taiwan, the American University in Dubai and Keio University in Tokyo, covering topics ranging from the Middle East and Chinese foreign policy to the power of technology in popular protest. I have debated at the Oxford and Cambridge Unions.
