Ruby Jones is taking some time off from 7am to report an episode of the ABC’s premier investigative news program, Four Corners.

While she’s gone, Daniel James will be sharing hosting duties with journalist and foreign correspondent Nicole Johnston.

Originally a country girl from regional NSW, Nicole has spent almost two decades reporting on the biggest events shaping our world. From the Middle East to Africa, Europe, the US and Asia, there aren’t many frontlines she hasn’t been on.

In this bonus episode, she tells Daniel about some of the most impactful moments in her career so far, including living in Gaza for a year and witnessing Egypt’s military coup against the Mohamed Morsi government.

“That was really for me one of those moments where you're sitting on the edge of history and thinking, I can't believe that I'm here.”
