HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur talks to Norwegian journalist, Paul Refsdal, who spent 30 years filming up close and personal from inside militant groups. He was held hostage while filming with the Taliban and in 2015 he spent weeks with a small group of would be suicide bombers in Syria. French newspapers will no longer publish pictures of the perpetrators of jihadist atrocities in an effort to ensure they're neither glorified, nor humanised. He sees his mission differently. Do we really need to see the West's enemies this close up?
