Alice Hibbert

Alice Hibbert is an international news anchor and correspondent at RT.

Since joining the channel in 2005, Alice has anchored several of RT's major breaking news stories both from the studio and on location including the outbreak of the war in South Ossetia, the Litvinenko poisoning, the trial of Saddam Hussein's co-defendants and the death of former Russian President Boris Yeltsin.

As a correspondent Alice reported on the 2008 Russian Presidential election from the far eastern city of Vladivostock. Later that year she waved off Russia's Olympic team from the airport and at the International Economic Forums in Sochi and St. Petersburg she delivered hourly broadcasts.

Following the death of Russian novelist Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn she conducted an exclusive, extended interview with his first publisher.

Alice has also been there as RT has expanded; On New Year's Eve 2007 she anchored the programme as RT launched onto the US networks. That broadcast was carried live on the big screens in New York's Times Square.

Before working in news Alice fronted and produced the channel's business programme where she interviewed the CEO's of several Russian and international corporations.

Before joining RT Alice worked for ITN London Tonight. She holds an MPhil in Modern History from Cambridge University as well as a diploma in Broadcast Journalism form Cardiff University.

Away from the newsroom Alice loves to read and travel. As well as Russia she has been fortunate enough to live in Germany and South Africa.
