A Fox News journalist has been taken to hospital after he was “injured while newsgathering outside of Kyiv in Ukraine”, network chief executive Suzanne Scott said in a memo to employees.

It is unclear how Hall was injured but Fox News said its teams are gathering more information.

“We have a minimal level of details right now, but Ben is hospitalised and our teams on the ground are working to gather additional information as the situation quickly unfolds,” Ms Scott said.

“This is a stark reminder for all journalists who are putting their lives on the line every day to deliver the news from a war zone.

“We will update everyone as we know more.”

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that the thoughts of US President Joe Biden and his administration are with "[Hall], his family and all of you at Fox News as well".

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby also expressed his hopes for Hall's speedy recovery.

Fox News anchor John Roberts said while addressing the news on-air: “The safety of our Fox team is, of course, of the utmost importance and our highest priority.”

Hall, Fox News' State Department correspondent, has been with the network since 2015.

What is Reform?

Reform is a right-wing, populist party led by Nigel Farage, a former MEP who won a seat in the House of Commons last year at his eighth attempt and a prominent figure in the campaign for the UK to leave the European Union.

It was founded in 2018 and originally called the Brexit Party.

Many of its members previously belonged to UKIP or the mainstream Conservatives.

After Brexit took place, the party focused on the reformation of British democracy.

Former Tory deputy chairman Lee Anderson became its first MP after defecting in March 2024.

The party gained support from Elon Musk, and had hoped the tech billionaire would make a £100m donation. However, Mr Musk changed his mind and called for Mr Farage to step down as leader in a row involving the US tycoon's support for far-right figurehead Tommy Robinson who is in prison for contempt of court.
