Keynote: JAN EGELAND
UN Under-Secretary for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator
He's accused Hezbollah of cowardice in blending in among women and children. He's charged Israel with war crimes in its conduct in the recent war in Lebanon. He's been relentless in spotlighting the unfolding humanitarian disaster in Darfur.
Jan Egeland has been voted one of Time Magazine's '100 People Who Shape Our World'.
Session chaired by Lyse Doucet, presenter and reporter, BBC World
"Domestic media and politics driving our response to humanitarian crises should not be allowed to result in too many 'forgotten emergencies'. At the same time, the need for durable solutions is more pressing than ever. If we fail to address these challenges, we will further fuel regional and international instability." - Jan Egeland

Inside the Military Mind
Part 1
A rare encounter between the military and the media. Senior military officers gather in Istanbul to reflect on how they are fighting wars of insurgency in a world of 24/7 real-time television news and blogs. What lessons have been learned from the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Lebanon? Does truth always have to be 'the first casualty' in warfare?
With contributions from General Sir Mike Jackson, former British Chief of General Staff (retired); General James Jones, NATO Supreme Allied Commander, Europe (SACEUR); Colonel Joel Armstrong, US Army (retired); Reserve General Danny Rothchild, Israeli Defense Force; Lieutenant Colonel Nico van der Zee, Dutch Defence, Spokesperson, Chief of Defence Staff; Jeremy Bowen, Middle East Editor, BBC; Ghaith Abdul-Ahad, Iraqi freelance photo and print journalist (Guardian, Unembedded); Adrian Wells, Head of Foreign News for Sky News; Nakhle El Hage, Director of News and Current Affairs, Al Arabiya; Lara Logan, Chief Foreign Correspondent, CBS News.
Chaired by Mark Austin, presenter, ITV News.
Part 2 - The INSI debate: Beyond Embedding.
The military and the media debate continues, but the focus shifts to the public information battleground and new threats to journalists reporting conflict. Can journalists cover these dangerous conflicts without getting killed, injured, or kidnapped? What prospects for new understandings about the legitimate role of the media during military operations? Is there any role for unilateral journalism on the battlefield?
With contributions from Chris Cramer, CNN International Managing Director and President of INSI; Rodney Pinder, Director, INSI; Richard Sambrook, BBC Global News Director and INSI Committee of Inquiry Chairman; David Schlesinger, Global Managing Editor of Reuters News Agency and INSI Board member.

The Road From Ground Zero: Reporting Terrorism
From Mumbai to London, coverage of terrorists and terrorist acts abound, but access to insurgents is limited. What do we really know about these movements? How much access do we really have? Are journalists being used by governments of the day for their own political purposes?
With contributions from Yosri Fouda of Al Jazeera; Peter Taylor of the BBC; Loretta Napoleoni, author of Terror Inc and Insurgent Iraq; and Peter Bergen, CNN terrorism analyst and author of Holy War Inc: Inside the Secret World of Osama bin Laden.
Chaired by Richard Quest, anchor and correspondent, CNN International
