Michael Holmes (born in December 1960 in Perth, Western Australia) is an Australian anchor and correspondent for CNN International. Since November 2014 he has anchored 'CNN Today' with Amara Walker on CNNi, before this he anchored the 10 am ET edition of International Desk and in early 2013 joined Suzanne Malveaux as co-anchor of CNN USA's Around The World at noon ET, an hour long bulletin focusing on international news. Previously, he was the host of CNNI's behind-the-news program BackStory. He attended Wesley College, Perth High School from 1973–77. Holmes began his career at the Daily News newspaper in Perth at the age of 17.
