Early life and education

Her sister, Nazanine Moshiri, worked as a foreign correspondent at Al Jazeera.[2]

Career

Moshiri began her career as a business reporter for Independent Radio News[3] in July 2001 before joining the BBC in November 2003.[4]

She worked for 16 years as a business news anchor on some of the BBC's flagship business programmes such as The Business Briefing, Work Life and Talking Business. Moshiri also broadcast on Radio 4, BBC Breakfast news and presented the 8pm news bulletin on BBC1. She was also a regular presenter of the afternoon and evening business news on BBC News, the corporation's 24-hour news channel.[5]

In 2019, Moshiri became a news presenter at BBC World News and BBC News. She has presented most of the global news channel's flagship programmes, including Outside Source, Impact and Global. Moshiri has also presented The Papers on BBC News. In February 2023, it was announced that she would continue as a presenter on the BBC's new news channel for both UK and international viewers launched in April.[6] In May 2023, she led the BBC News coverage of the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool, being based for the majority of the week in the host city on duplex with a team in the New Broadcasting House studio.[7]

In 2023, Moshiri became the relief presenter covering the other chief presenters programmes The Context, The Daily Global, BBC News Now, Verified Live, as well as the BBC Weekend News and BBC News at One. While continuing to present occasionally Talking Business, reporting from across the UK and other special programmes.[8] But it was announced Yalda Hakim would be leaving the BBC later in 2023 to join Sky News,[9] and it was announced on the same day that Moshiri would take over as the main presenter of The Daily Global.[10]

On 6 December 2023, just before starting a newscast she was captured with her middle finger to the camera, for which she apologised saying it was a "private joke" with the staff.[11][12] It was later revealed that Moshiri had been counting down with her fingers with the cameraman, representing "1" with the middle finger, and she expressed relief that the full video showing this has been released.[13]
