Reporting on the death of Osama bin Laden and the people’s revolution in Egypt which toppled President Mubarak and inspired uprisings across the Middle East, as well as covering Iran’s disputed election, the Green Movement and human rights abuses in the Islamic Republic, Jane has been at the forefront of countless historical event.

Returning to Tehran after an absence of 16 years, the capital I discovered was one of true contrasts that reflect a deepening divide in this nation of 72 million people. Jane exclusively revealed to the world who had betrayed former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his sons Uday and Qusay. She was also the first journalist to interview Dr Rihad Taha, a top Iraqi scientist, known as Dr Germ, for her part in Saddam Hussein's bacterial weapons programme. Corbin has reported extensively from the Middle East covering the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, including her inside account of the negotiations that led to the Oslo Peace Accords in 1993. She has reported extensively from the West Bank and Gaza covering the conflict - for example in the films 'The War of the Tunnels' in Gaza in 2014 and 'Price Tag Wars' on the activities of right-wing teenagers in Israel whom their own government calls 'terrorists'. Corbin reported from Iraq during the first Gulf War in 1991–92 when she reported on the existence of Saddam Hussein's secret nuclear weapons programme and his Supergun.While he tells me he is not political, 'Nobody' raps about God, nationalism, even in defence of Iran's much-disputed right to develop nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

liberal Iran - 60% of the population is under the age of 30 - that I found a rapper named 'Nobody' and a blogger named Asieh.One favorite amusement of his as well as hers was her folding a piece a piece of paper and cutting a long string of dolls all joined together in ranks which she called her “Stonewall Brigade.” I can imagine a smile and a merry twinkle in his eyes as he scanned these miniature soldiers, funny little bow-legged fellows they were. Asieh's blog details cases of women being brutalised, stoned and executed - often for adultery, although execution is not officially approved by the government.

Iran's reformist candidates in Friday's presidential election are hoping that the country's young people turn out in large numbers to vote for that change. Somehow I found these places before dark and before roaming Serb patrols found us - the barn scarred with huge sprays of bullet holes and smeared with blood. The school just as the survivor had described it to me....and the white house the boy had passed in the video. In the snow around the house I found spectacles, broken shoes and - most valuable of all - identity documents which had been ripped from the men before they were gunned down. I took these as evidence of what had happened. A French detective working for the newly formed International Criminal Tribunal at the Hague had already been to see me. He knew I had the video and that it would provide vital evidence in court although crucial scenes had clearly been edited out. It all began one night in a swish hotel in the capital Belgrade as Karadzic and his beefy bodyguards swept up to the door in a white Mercedes to talk to me and the Panorama team. An impressive figure - tall with a grey mane of hair and a cigarette dangling from his mouth all the time he was passionate about the plight of the Serb minority in Bosnia and the threat be believed they were under from the Bosnian Muslim majority. He presented himself as a patriot fighting for his people then, but his subsequent actions would provide overwhelming evidence that he became the politician responsible for genocide and for authorising and encouraging his generals to commit mass slaughter. No one could stop me and my tireless Croatian researcher going around the refugee camps in areas not controlled by the Serbs showing pictures taken from the video - finding survivors and the families of those who had died to try and find out what had happened - to prove what the outside world was beginning to realise that innocent civilians had been slaughtered. No one could stop me looking at satellite pictures of areas where I had heard the mass graves were - to look for signs of recently disturbed earth - to enquire if local hauliers had provided diggers and dumpers to carry out the grisly task of disposing of the bodies. And no one could stop me going to Holland to interview the Dutch soldiers who were part of the UN peacekeeping force that was supposed to protect Srebrenica, but shipped out leaving the Muslims to their fate and an indelible stain on Holland's reputation. Many of these young men were traumatised and broke down in tears as they described to me what they had seen and heard as they left the town - the blood trails, the gunshots. Also popular in the Tehran of 2009 is cosmetic surgery, with the number of both men and women sporting post-surgical bandages on their face striking to the visitor.In 1999 she worked on three programmes about the war in Kosovo and carried out the first in-depth investigation into the atrocities in the villages of western Kosovo. And it’s not only written accounts about her short life that remain. Roberta Corbin had a sketch of her daughter and allowed it to be published in the Confederate Veteran Magazine in 1912. The older generation who have traditionally supported reunification, have been frightened by Hong Kong, and are increasingly turning away. Many younger people, having seen in Ukraine what being invaded by a large neighbour looks like are training in urban warfare and gearing up to fight for what they see as their country.
