LONDON: Scanning through global news broadcasts of the Ukraine-Russia conflict will yield many points of view, and yet one face is consistent throughout.
Associated Press journalist Philip Crowther has been seen on six different news channels, speaking in six different languages, as a video compilation of his broadcasts made the rounds on Twitter — quickly reaching more than 19 million views.

The video begins with Crowther’s live broadcast from Kiev for News Nation Now in English. He follows this with Luxembourgish for RTL De Journal, Spanish for DW Espanol, Portuguese for Voice of America, French for LCI Direct and, finally, German for Servus Nachrichten.
According to his official website, the multilingual reporter was born to a British father and German mother in Luxembourg, helping him to become fluent in German, Luxembourgish and English.
Crowther moved to the UK and received a bachelor’s degree in Hispanic studies from King’s College London and, later, a postgraduate diploma in broadcast journalism from the London College of Communication.
