news. news. news. ah. hi us, i me okay. and your in the stream on today's program, we get to spend time with some of our zeros, best correspondence for look behind the scenes of stories that they've been reporting on. we speak to john holeman in mexico. he's been reporting for years on cartel violence. in a recent film he explores what happens to civilians caught in the crossfire in germany once in a generation flawed, have cause death and destruction that boston is standing by. to tell us more about that story, i also be looking out for your comments and questions and i,

you choose chat so you can share your thoughts. right here. we start with katherine story has been reporting in ethiopia. katherine recently kind exclusive access to the to go, i am our region. i'm a special forces and the few p and federal police. at a checkpoint in my car, they're passing through require identification papers who won't rare, regional government guided trip. but he didn't filming the forces and a militia called funnel was difficult. the town cleaned by booth horror, anti grand ethnic communities was, and a t guys administration before the war started in november. it's one of the, was the tri cities happened. hundreds of people were killed, the communities accuse each other's fighters of committing it. catherine story joins is now for ad is over for the past 3. they say good to see you. when you were reported from the take i am or are region on the board that just getting access is

tricky. last challenging. tell us more about that. yes, it's very frustrating and very tricky indeed. as you mentioned, we got to the success from the higher regional government and you may wonder why, because you're talking about western t drive. these areas we're talking about mocked in west and t grey. but in the 8 months of the war i'm higher forces have occupied this territory. they say that this area is belonged to them, historically and the pony until the 19th and the t p less at the great people liberation front, took power that they next, this land to t gray. so the mars said is the land but then that the gradients who are now the t great 4th is where now pushing south and west, they want to reclaim back those lines. they say that the higher forces you took

advantage of this conflict to 4th, when the takeover, those stary tories. so it is a huge alarm dispute. and now because it's under that ministration of om hara, we sought to authorization from the higher leadership. but even with their authorization, we had to go with binders with guns and it was also very difficult. even we both minded to film a checkpoint, those pictures that you showed there are actually pictures that we form secretly because it wouldn't let us bow menu of their forces. they have a militia called founder as well. they wouldn't let us back, and it was also very difficult to get a sense of, you know, whether these, the people we were talking to the villages. but when i grant that as well, it was very difficult for us to tell whether you know, the, what giving us information independently and without fear. because what surrounded by august minded when we were there, a town called mara,

it's one of the contested ones. and before the conflict tomorrow, in my car, dra, which showed their, with the, with the, with a math grade to grands and higher people leave side by side before this war. so a lot of the grand top lead the some that have been left the when we were there, the regional, the local administrators organized this potash by this, the grand in support of hire, as it was very hard for us to, you know, really get maybe it was even a catherine. it was just just the cameras. let me asking, let me ask you this because he did a very important interview with the maurice deputy president and trying to keep up with the politics and the history. if your peer is difficult is challenging. but in less than a minute, you nailed it in this report that miss sherman, buddy f, have a look at the regional vice president shoes as

a 1985 map that places march of the dispute territories in harrow region. the borderline have however, since been redrawn he thousands when the t cry people's liberation front or t p a left to power. then next to the land to take right. we have never, ever accepted the amount of people in the regional government has never endorsed it . we have never been consulted. so whenever you say historical dispute, it takes us some years to behind. and one time it was there, another time it was here. that's what you call dispute. it has never been. so it couldn't be just a dispute. it was rather taken union left by that period. if it was decided, katherine, i'm going to put some questions to you from adstream audience. this is a war of conflicting ideology, says this tweet unitary by pm api and semi autonomous ethnic federalism by the t p

l. s the pm sees ethnic federalism as a root of all if you can. evil's while t p l f. these otherwise this is, this view is idea, this is their opinion. but how can these sites and reconcile is the question catherine. while for me, i think at this point it's very difficult to see an immediate reconciliation or 5 have taken such hotline positions that all accusing each other of ethnic cleansing and things like that. it seems very much like a supremacy battle to gray, to gray. you know, leadership accusing, i'm hara, administration of you know, just trying to expand their territory to, to expand beyond their territory. then we have this line, this, these we are talking about the reach agricultural land and in this whole conflict, you know, it's not just higher as and to gray. and we are also seeing now other regions that one not previously involved in that to grind conflict. now,

getting involved in seeing, you know, regions like, or a, me like. so my region all saying they're sending their own forces, sending their own militia to come and, you know, join this war and fight alongside government troops. and i'm hard for this to fight that to grand defense for the so when you seeing this kind of thing, it worries a lot of people because it's taking a very dangerous stan items the dangerous ask nicked on if i may say alright, tough and i'm going to ask you 2 questions very, very briefing very quickly. one comes via video comment. and another one comes from youtube. let's start with a video comment. mobilizing mofas's, consisting of malicious and regional forces as into the conflicts represent new homes of estimation and interest and intractability implicating the entire country . it further crystallizes the fact that no durable solution is likely to come from

either of the warring parties to continue mobilizing towards war and buy them to jo error. is there a job or solution from noah on youtube watching right now? do you think there will be a peaceful resolution between amara and trick? right. what insight did you get from your reporting very quickly, catherine? well, again, what i spoke to the deputy president of, you know, i'm har, region again he, he position was very hot light. he said, yes, we need the doable solution. we need a peaceful resolution. if the planting seeds are now, people need to be in their phones. they can't be evicted, kicked out of their homes and things like that. but then on the other hand, he says that, well, we cannot watch as our people are being killed. as people have been evicted, he called a point. you know, people in the villages in the front line area say, you know, the farmers, the people in the villages come out, defend us. all that i asked him,

are you telling them to arm themselves to 1000000000 the philippines and disabilities? and he said yes, because what can they do if you go to the other side, the guy, the leadership, barry saying the same thing display. you know, the leadership, people are being young, people are being recruited and trained and armed. so at this point, it's very difficult to see i solution a peaceful solution, even if they're or say they want peace. this is not about the gram. this is not about hire a people. this is about the leadership, it's about the politics. thank catherine. sorry for sharing your reporting with us and taking us behind the scenes of the story as well. we move now to western europe, where flooding has left close to 200 dead. and almost 1000 people unaccounted for. he stopped his that boston reporting earlier in the week from a stop in germany. it was rush hour when the water quickly inundated highway number 265 near ash,

not catching unexpected drivers and passengers by surprise. soldiers and rescue workers try to reach drop cars, finding out if everyone made it out in time. we hope that they made it out of their cars, but we are not sure. and we can guarantee that the perhaps people in the cars, we could not check all cars. and if you see the quality of the water, also the check with diversity of no use looking at how challenging it is to fleet is one highway. it becomes clear that recovery will take time. so hudson is joining us from barn. hello there that this story was literally close to home. we often say, oh, this is close to home, but it, it really was. can you explain why? it was very close to home because this is happening just an hour or 2 hours away from where i was born. this is like my, my home area. and i went on holidays when i was

a child to the locations here in the western part of germany. and that was also happening in the south of the netherlands, where my parents are living. and that's actually why i jumped in the car so quickly when i heard about the slots, because i got messages from my parents that their village was under water. and that really struck me because i thought, why is this happening now? and i knew of course about the torrential rains, but i also never expected these kinds of floods. and my 1st idea was climate change . climate change is now getting a physical phase here in europe. so if i'm going to show a couple of pictures, because if you look in the background, we look behind that and her wellington's you see so much there is chaos in the background. i'm just gonna show a couple more pictures here. this is you're getting ready to stand up a piece the camera. but look this, what is this upside down the vehicle? it's upside down. you can see the destruction. and again here, a vehicle being flipped. when you 1st got onto the scene, what was your reaction?

because you have cover floods in other parts of the well, particularly in asia. so you're not a newcomer to what flood destruction can do node. the 1st thing i thought it looks like the phenomena, the aftermath of the 2 now me in indonesia and 2004, which i covered extensively. and i never really expected to find these kinds of images, of course, so close to home in europe. and people there also are completely taken by surprise, day new only disaster from television, from asia, from africa. but now in this kind of destruction, they've never seen before. as you say, cars were all over the place. they were swimming from other village villages. there were trees, like everywhere they were just taken out like they were. they were weighing nothing and the reference overflowed. the bridge is broken. lots of houses damage. and one story that really, really struck me very deeply was this story where we 1st went and that was

a house for this able people. and we heard 12 people died there. i mean, we really wanted to find this place and it was nearly impossible. we couldn't find it because it was not everywhere. roads were blocked. and then finally, when we were shooting the whole day at the end of the day we found is building. and we found the story there of the neighbors who saw what happened that the water came up into the 1st floor. busy and there was no evacuation because the, the, the authorities were completely overwhelmed. so they had been evacuating some part of the town, but that particular part wasn't evacuated. so people were still stuck deer. and they were in the for the 1st on the 1st floor on the ground floor. and they couldn't escape, they were just simply stuck and they, they drowned sadly. so i'm going to show an image from your instagram, have a look here on my laptop stuff. so obviously seeing this, but there's something here that i wanted to show you. divers court by surprise,

the drivers on a highway court by surprise. it's a supplies element i want to build on. this is jeff, the cost us to have, have a listen to his story, also close to home for him and his parents. and then just coming off the back of a, if you would, his jeff, as if i said, i'm really used to looking at data regarding floods impacting rivers in society. just last week, i found myself on the other side of the data when my parents called me in distress, telling me that they're homeless and just seeing how emotionally draining physically and financially traumatizing into their own in the day that was such a stark reminder of how devastating floods can be on people and communities. of course, if we look at the big picture in europe, there were relatively lucky and belgium in germany, especially under the people have died and communities have been erased from the math due to a lack of adequate and time. the warning as a researcher, i believe that as a society we have failed people and

a good haircut. it's useless decision makers do nothing. action upon receiving warnings. yes, exactly. it's not only the warning system that failed. i spoke about the evacuation earlier, but a lot of people also wondering what have we been doing against climate change against global warming. of course, in the western part of germany, when i was driving around there and i was driving between the countries, i went back and forth to the netherlands as well. and you see the industrial areas you're passing the coal power plants that are still operating there. so a lot of people have also been asking questions, you know, what is the impact of all this industry here in this part of the world on this change in climate? and i think this is really where this discussion will, will go to i think this will really have a long term impact on the discussion on climate change in the netherlands in germany, in belgium, in the western part of europe. stop. i am just going to wrap up i segment together

. i know that the volunteers are making a difference on the ground. what is the latest that you're seeing that you've been reporting for us on out 0? well, it was overwhelming. today i spend a whole day in a place by wounds the eiffel, which was one of the worst hit and i'm going to merkel was actually there. and people there was so busy working just hundreds of fallen ts. they were lining up. they made this human change, they had buckets who are passing it on one by one with their bare hands. and while i'm going to merkel was in the back talking to officials, they kept working and they were actually angry and irritated. they started talking to me like why is she still be, are we need to work and she's actually blocking everything going that way. we have a side i and we have work to do that. i know that was exactly what they step. thank you so much for showing your reporting with us. we will continue to watch it on out 0. finally, we had to the mexican state of metro account. he was eclipse from the al jazeera

film, mexico's kilda me and i'm the one in the number. but the reality is that the food less is, is that cool here, a brutal, roofless, they kill police disappeared civilians across the country. and now they're invading mix. what can we hear? it was what that means for an already traumatized population and who is going to stop them? we're heading into a woods and to john home and joins us now from mexico city. john, i have to ask you, how did you get an interview with her lisco new generation called tell lead a how, how is that even possible?

yeah, i was just watching it there. it's a little bit been out of body experience. no. do you feel on the screen this one thing and it was quite that we were actually bet. i think we were trying at the time, get with them. and that town is, is more stream than anything else i've seen in mexico. and i've been here like 3 years now. it's basically on the sea between 2 different criminal groups. we've got that group for new generation called tell one side, and then it's being blocked up on the other side by another group. couple is needles. so to get that, we have to drive down the road over the mountains, and that was a road that this talked. so it's going to generation called tow controlled. and so we were going along, we passed this village where they had to the baseball peroration. we'd already awesome emissions go down the road and they, they said yes, we sort of knew we were to take that message. go down the guys with

a check for it. and then i was going with a really good producer until vega and a really good time or person was like just one part of the team. and more than anything they managed to dissuade the guys checkpoint. we'd love to do an interview with you. we want to hear what you got and eventually you said, okay, you need to go to the crime that we got in the middle of the woods my way. and i i think the other 2 were sorts of like, yes. okay, this is, this is some of those are the in your film. there were moments where as a view i was afraid because you looked afraid. one of them was when you were in an abandoned village, just going to play that clip for our stream. we just have a look. you can feel the emissions ourselves at least the new

generation the ah ah ah. the sleepy village. there's no one else.

yeah, that was. that was just frightening, actually at the time it looks on the video, i saw the video went up on youtube obviously. and i saw one person commenting saying, oh, typical journalist. and i just want to assure that person this is what they did on the screen. we ran back to the code this late and then start with the camera person was the only person that didn't want to leave the house even though we heard gunshots around. and apparently people told us all which that's what we call to do, basically just far in the as to when to let you know that, that she's not going to go nosing around. one of the, i think that was one of they were bad. and so basically, so i went off to that in the most of the she would just them, we could, she's someone's house and the whole village was like, you know, just ovens left outside. there was some caps been there, and people just left then everything ran and the whole road was like,

you know, i mean you just saw these places where people just had to abandon their lives. so i space, we took it about my fear of the moment and after a moment, could you just imagine where to live to live through and to have to go, you know, it wasn't just a story the call tells you were telling you, telling the story of the people who abandoned their villages you had to move on and you took us to the border and you connected the dots between the cartels. the funny thing for territory, and then ordinary people were trying to live in that situation. there's one family, they hear my laptop, just taken a still from your film. and i'm wondering what happened to this family. they fled because that young teen daughter, just hear the cartel kidnapped her for a couple of days and they were afraid. what happened to this family?

yeah, exactly. as you said it and we met them in on the, on the mexican border and they were pretty brave. they were the only people that would speak to us actually on camera about what happened. and then just this week, actually for me, we heard back from the tisha, who's the mother to the major out with the one that together. and they actually managed to get over to the united states and asking for a silent and they're currently in us. so there was such a relief to hear that because we've been, we so many families that had to flee. most of them, it was because and so i have to say produce, i'm part of rodriguez and i produce a dissenting capital. really stood out for it and they just got so many testimonies . if they wouldn't speak on camera, not people show them, photos of that song that they relatives in the mood. people that just said we just hotly everything. just the same as you know, they went in the bed of night in the car,

they left everything behind. they were living. it was 6 of them into tense included . not that would go in to tense on the border. they just and i asked them, how are you feeling right now? and they would say, well, we're happy life with together. i just can't. i think it's difficult to imagine that kind of danger and that kind of fear. and they said they could never go back. so i suppose a happy story for them, but i reckon there was a lot of people on the way from migration for me because i think that a lot of people that wouldn't have the same success. esco's, john, we're going to leave it off, but i am going to point everybody who's watching the string to day, to have a look here on my laptop. because i want you to watch this film, the full report, living in mexico's kill zone in 25 minutes, john and his team take us inside to mexico inside metro can. and really some of the difficulties that people are having that. thank you john. thank you. step. thank you, catherine. thank you for watching. if there are any stories you'd like us to do on

the stream, you could point us at a j stream. i'll see you next side. take everybody. ah ah ah ah, when a french soldier was murdered in a so called terrorist attack, his mother retaliated with love, speaking out against intolerance and alienation, she travels the world with the result of a grieving mother who loved her son,
