diane foley, welcome to hardtalk. thank you. diane foley, welcome to hardtalk. thank you.s an honour, stephen. it's a great pleasure to talk to you. and obviously this conversation is going to be difficult. but with the passage of time, now ten years since your son james was so brutally murdered, does it become easier to talk about it? i love to talk aboutjim because i'm very proud of him. i'm proud of the man he became and his desire to make a difference by being a journalist. so i enjoy talking aboutjim. tell me about that desire of his to be a journalist, because he was raised by you and your husband in a pretty small town... very small. ..in new hampshire, in the north—east of the united states, and i'm guessing that it wasn't the most obvious career path to take. what motivated him to want to be a front line reporter? well, i think it evolved. as a youngster, he loved to read. he was a voracious reader, um, and was very interested in other countries, other parts of the world. he just was very curious, particularly about people. very friendly also, had a real diversity

diane foley, welcome to hardtalk. thank you.
