Career history edit
Watson left Daybreak to join ITN in February 2014, under the title of China Correspondent for ITV News, based in Beijing.[1]
In a report covering the conflict in Ukraine, she commented that "Now the unthinkable has happened to them. This is not a developing third world nation. This is Europe." This was criticised as offensive.[2]
