Tom Mutch is a freelance journalist who has spent the last few years covering conflict and war around the globe. He was in Ukraine as war broke out following the Russian invasion.

Like many journalists who cover war zones, his experiences and reportage play a vital role on countering the propaganda and lies that make up the other front in this conflict - the information war.

Increasingly, reporters are being targeted by combatants in war zones and a number of journalists have been killed in Ukraine whilst doing their important work.

Tom took some time out from his recovery time whilst he was recuperating in Warsaw, Poland, before he went back to Ukraine to continue his work.

He is our guest on this week's edition of "On the Job".
