Nina Nannar describes covering the most shocking Oscars moments

Warning: This episode contains distressing details throughout. Over two decades, legendary camera operator Peter Wilkinson filmed footage of the Troubles in Northern Ireland that shocked the world. The long and bloody conflict, which claimed thousands of lives, came to another horrific climax in 1988, when two British Army corporals, David Howes and Derek Wood, were beaten, dragged from their car, and later taken away and executed by the IRA. They had inadvertently driven into a funeral cortege for another IRA member Kevin Brady, who had been shot dead in another funeral attack by militant loyalist Michael Stone days earlier. The footage Peter Wilkinson captured of the incident was soon broadcast around the country - but it came so close to never seeing the light of day. After the incident, the IRA confronted him and asked him to hand over the tape containing the footage. He took a tape out of his camera, and handed it to them. Little did they know, it was a fake - and he had smuggled the real one in his underwear. He recalls their chilling words: ‘If the footage isn’t on here, we know exactly who you are, and we’ll get you’. But this is far from the first time Peter risked everything to capture historic footage of the Troubles. Peter joins Reporting History to talk for the first time about his time in Northern Ireland across two decades, and reveals what he saw on Bloody Sunday, Bloody Friday, the Europa hotel bombing, and a firefight on the streets in 1973.

In 1991 the historic city of Dubrovnik came under dramatic siege by land and sea after Croatia claimed independence from the collapsing Yugoslavia. As thousands fled for their lives from the one-sided onslaught, ITN war reporter Paul Davies and his small crew headed daringly into the heart of the conflict. In this episode of Reporting History, Paul looks back on his Diary of a Siege, which became among the most famous war reportage ITN has ever broadcast and the singular and defining account of the battle. He rewatches his epic eyewitness reporting, recounts the moment he was hit by incoming shelling, and explains the incredible and inventive lengths he went to in order to smuggle the footage out of the bombarded city to show the world what was happening. Paul’s extended report influenced the White House and the Kremlin and exposed the Yugoslav lies to help bring the siege to an end. It would ultimately be scrutinised in extraordinary circumstances as Paul became cross-examined by Slobodan Milosevic as the former Serbian and Yugoslav president led his own futile defence at his war crimes trial at The Hague.

Twenty-five years on from 9/11, ITV News’s James Mates revisits his chilling coverage of the deadliest terrorist attacks in modern history. An "extraordinary stroke of luck” meant Mates managed to reach Manhattan following the assault and collapse of the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers in 2001. It came only hours after the US Correspondent had heard and witnessed the devastating impact of the hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 being flown into the Pentagon in Washington, DC on September 11. Revisiting his powerful archive reports with host Tom Bradby, Mates describes the challenges of capturing the devastation at Ground Zero while documenting the heroism of firefighters and passengers on board the fourth hijacked plane United 93. The conversation also explores how 9/11 reshaped American foreign policy, beyond the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and altered the course of global politics as Mates describes the second lasting tragedy spawned from the attacks masterminded by Osama bin Laden.

On the third of May 2007, three-year-old Madeleine McCann vanished from her family's apartment on holiday in Praia Da Luz, Portugal. As the frantic search began, Mary Nightingale was one of the first journalists on the scene. The investigation and search for Madeleine McCann would capture the attention of the world, and become one of the biggest missing person stories in history. In this episode of Reporting History, Mary recalls watching it unfold on the ground, and seeing a different side to the McCann parents off-camera. Mary rewatches rare, previously unaired footage from the time showing Kate and Gerry recall in agonising detail the night their daughter went missing.
