International Emmy Founders Award For David Frost
World-renowned TV journalist Barbara Walters is to present the Founders Award to Sir David Frost at the 37th International Emmy Awards Gala on November 23, 2009, in New York City.
Bruce L. Paisner, President of The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, said: "David Frost's career started in the United Kingdom around the time Barbara Walters was starting hers in the United States. The International Academy is delighted to bring Ms Walters to our stage to lead this tribute to Sir David."
Ms Walters began her career on NBC's Today show as a writer and within a year became a reporter-at-large, developing, writing and editing her own reports and interviews. Since then, she has interviewed some of the world's most prominent leaders, including every American President and First Lady since Richard Nixon, including President and Mrs Barack Obama.
Today, Ms Walters' remains a co-owner, co-executive producer and co-host of The View, recipient of the 2003 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show. Ms Walters recently received the 2009 Lifetime Achievement Award at The News & Docs Emmys, presented by The National Academy of Television.
Sir David Frost is a British journalist, comedian, writer and media personality, who is best known for being a pioneer of political satire on television and for his serious interviews with a number of political figures, including, most famously, former US President Richard Nixon - an event which was turned into the stageplay Frost/Nixon by Peter Morgan in 2006 and which was subsequently brought to the big screen by director Ron Howard. British actor Michael Sheen portrayed Sir David in both productions.
He has hosted the weekly show Frost Over the World on Al Jazeera English since 2006.

Interest rates rest at 4.5%
The Bank of England has kept interest rates at 4.5% for the fourth month in succession. The Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) reflects the recent rise in inflation and anxiety over retail sales in the run up to Christmas. Last month inflation was forecast to remain above the government's 2% target, mainly due to rising oil prices.
