I joined the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ in 1992, after studying modern languages at Manchester University.

My Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ career started as a reporter for Radio Five Live, before working as a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 'stringer' in Peru in 1997, covering the hostage crisis at the Japanese ambassador's residence.

I then worked as a producer at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service for three years, before moving to Mexico as the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Latin America correspondent in 2001. During that two-year posting, I covered the ongoing political turmoil in Venezuela, including the attempted coup against President Hugo Chavez and the two-month long national oil workers strike. I also reported on the political transition in Haiti that marked the end of President Aristide's time in office.

I moved to Washington in June of this year, after two years spent in South Africa covering stories in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda and Kenya.

Nick Miles is a Washington correspondent for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ News.
