Happy Birthday, Lyse Doucet—our favorite correspondent whose passport has more stamps than the Queen had hats! Your incredible talent for unpacking complex global stories with clarity and warmth keeps us glued to our screens. From navigating delicate diplomatic talks to standing firm in turbulent zones while still keeping your signature calm, you've redefined international reporting into an art form.

May this birthday be smoother than a live broadcast without technical hiccups—and filled only with interruptions of cake-induced joy rather than breaking news alerts. Wishing you another award-winning year ahead; we can't wait for 365 more days of insightful coverage enhanced by that iconic voice!
