very funny in a new money in. the mood i'm very very optimistic. right . alfred's free press a wonderful film which was broadcast more than 6 years ago now so rotten show you're wondering what happened to alfred what happened to his news chalkboard rewind went back to monrovia to find out what has become of the daily talk of alfred and his rate is. low from the public on a daily basis of. what's happening right now it's a cycle. that doesn't change just before nobody hears you know.

you're not here i am one of the we came a whistle which would inform the public about it. with factual information the information. people. report everything that we see how we research it before. this is the news room this is where the news stories is published and is how it's done it like i said the newsroom is a junkie so if. you look at these things i would think that the news with. this is that the decks need sticks and. other stories and this is a story that has

a lot of the board i have in the spirit. it's hard work. and there's a publisher. what you're for time and then do with your family 100 percent it's very difficult you have to spend half of the time running out the stories you have to have time to research and all of those things and. from where i come from any. special live in story. in the press freedom it was difficult. because when you publish people come after you you know it was a very tough. my shop was broken down it was the mahdi church it broke me because it was man

who. where i was a dog. mateen man family anyway when it broke i guess that out all was lost i said though i get i get myself into. so i must continue to go out there and he also encouraged me i'm a keep it up so i did a lot of common stock in a new friend called me obama used to make an issue that they had about my house so they didn't get better shoes and then i started. believing in god that we were we had me one day and always i would do what i had

timed out or does the b.b.c. what we were. is preaching what we were. if you have 2. heroes just about to get used you will have the money to people so they didn't get get is news from heroes news people and they get put out to. get sent up point out a refill. they did it better a great help to us got some town would make. them on to buy a newspaper we're going to get information on this say well. yes you are really making a lot of my hope for liberia is that one day liberia. not more equal opportunity for hollywood. and everybody will have a cesspool malakhov. everyone with us as to who rose would what
