group, ma'am, they are now in power, they are now running the country and they are now having to deal with the kinds of attacks that they used to carry out themselves. so certainly i think challenges ahead. thank you very much. stephanie decker, and cobble to campaigning. journalists. of won the nobel peace prize, maria ross. so who is the 1st filipino to win the prize is face multiple legal cases for her work. she and dmitri myrtle from russia's no via guys, yet 10 years paper work on it for that work, which the prize committee said helps protect abuses of power lies and will propaganda. russia said the prize reflected the difficulties of profession was facing him. it's never been hard to be a journalist, as it is say, this is my 30 year as a journalist and imagine in the philippine government file 10 arrest warrants against me in less than 2 years. i've never lived do anything like that. and i guess the, well if there is just, it's always an end to the dark us and are the top story 5 people if event shot and

killed at an immigration detention center in libya and many others of escapes video posted on line shows. those had broken out, running through the streets in the capital tripoli, thousands of refugees in migrants for arrested in a cracked down by libyan authorities over the past week or so in i to nations. as of crowding, lead to the chaos magic. china has more from tripoli. we met with the iowa chief on wednesday of the i one libya chief of mission are mr. so to on wednesday. and he told us that there used to be a voluntary repatriation program for those that were in detention centers. it was suspended by living authorities, but the pictures and the videos that we saw earlier today. i mean, you see, i just, people just running the streets of tripoli cause quite a bit of chaos. or we spoke to a official in the ministry of interior earlier. he confirmed that people left the center when we asked him, was it an escape? you know, what happened?

he was very careful not to answer his. he wouldn't say if it was a release or an escape, i think we might see looking at ortiz on the next coat in the next day, or 2 say that they released these people due to a lack of resources just to try to cover up maybe take advantage of the situation, but really a migrant refugees are people that are leaving, you know, poverty, they're leaving. war in their countries of origin. are some come to libya to find out, you know, find work and to try to provide for their families back home. others live is a long been a transit up for african migrants trying to reach your pin shores. others do try to make the trip the dangerous trip across the mediterranean sea. the stream is coming out next, making it to nation politics. stay with us. ah

. i i as i me okay on a mission to add some stimulating conversation to your weekend. i am confident that this bonus edition of history was an exact on that stand by for the best discussions i had with guess off to the life i was broadcast. coming up. yeah, melody, the luminous nigerian singer, songwriter, and you and dp good real ambassador, performing a right here in the stream studio. i'll also bring you news from the tense political situation into nicea. profess, let's head to louisiana, a state that still reckoning with racism and its criminal justice system. until

2020. it was possible for jury anyways, deanna to find someone guilty even if only 10 of the 12 jurors agreed not unanimous jury. verdicts are now illegal, but around 1500 people are still serving time because with up here a guest. jamila johnson, nick castille, and jason williams, passionate explaining why they're fight for justice. ve incarcerated is so difficult. i tell you a story about betty rod. oh mary, broaden because there isn't enough conversation about women in the unfairness of our system. she was convicted of secondary murder and spent nearly 30 years of her life in jail without the opportunity of parole for shooting and killing a man who threatened to kill her with a gun attacked her and sexually assaulted her multiple times. inside of her own apartment. over the course of the night, she got

a hold of his gun and she was able to kill her attacker. big about that, you can hear folks from all over the country, talk about standing your ground. in this instance, she was convicted by non unanimous jury. we were able to address it, looked into all the facts of the case. she should have never been arrested. right? if, if a man was raped in his home and shot his attacker, he'd probably get a key to the city. but doing this work has allowed us to actually dig deep or not, and just sort of by finding some, some easy cookie cutter approach, but actually building out the entire civil rights division. so we could spend time with each of these folks and their lawyers and their advocates to figure out what really occurred is ron wrote a letter to harry connick. i'm begging him to look at all the evidence in the case . and when she was, when she was free, she said, i wondered if anyone's ever going to look look what thinks in your mind for

order that have posted that you've done a still even even never for that and why? well, you know, net, i think jamila and jason, i'm sure have have lots of, of stories of individuals who are convicted on, on tended to verdicts. um, just earlier this year i was able to go to the legislature and, and watch the hearing that took place that would have would, where they were debating a law that, that, that would have given new trials to these people. and what was an interesting to me, as i observed it is, is it a jemila? was there other advocates were there? there were a number of people who had been convicted on split jury verdicts. ah, who were there? as well as, as, as victims of crimes where the person convicted on had been, had been convicted, anonymous, verdict and, and all of these people were giving these really heartfelt,

an emotional testimony about the need to, to a, to give new trials to, to these people are still in prison, there was no testimony at all um opposing this law. yet when it came time to vote, ah, it was, it was voted down and it was written down along party lines. i am in a 7 to 5 both i believe and, and all of the republican legislators who, who voted it down were white. and the majority of, of the democratic legislators who, who voted to move on on this law were black. and you know, that, that was striking, given, given the history of this law and, and, and you know, it's not to say that there aren't arguments to be made for why this, this would be a difficult thing to, to, to do. but at that hearing um, if they weren't made and,

and it was a i thought it was a. ready it was a sort of sort of a jarring representation of sure of how these things continue to play out and the optics of all of it. i think the trying to find the was, well, you're not trying to say they're racist. right. that's that i hear you trying to find appropriate words here. let me just bringing nicholas moscow relo. he's a republican state representative and he was asked about, well, how do you remedy the situation? nikki pointed out the politics at play here. and let's have a look and have a listen to nicholas if it was deemed unconstitutional. and we know that it's rooted in a racist origin. and there's a, there's 1500 people there that are sitting there. they sleep there at night. and a lot of them are in there for a life don't they deserve their case to be looked at again, i'll feel pretty confident in my vote because the supreme court said that the way

we did it was correct. how was it not unconstitutional for the people there who are there now, the supreme court said we were fine. so i can't argue with, but what do you think? i think what we did was bulb monumental. and i'm happy that we got that push forward. do you think that those people deserve a remedy? i think there is a remedy. what is the remedy? the remedy is the da can review it. but if the da decides not to review, then they don't. they don't have a remedy. so so callous. right? says shock jamila? yeah, i mean, every time i was that clip i wanna say to the representative, know the u. s. supreme court bounded unconstitutional for every one. the only thing that they didn't do was given the remedy and they're, they're counting on us of the state of louisiana. to do that, every time i walked that i just we can't bad the

how the state legislator could have sat through more than 2 hours of testimony on 2 days from so many people impacted by this issue and not even know what the u. s. supreme court dead? i am jason. i still think some comments on youtube. i love this one from pizza piper previous says you don't need money to open cell blocks and let people free. it's absolutely right. it's unfair. it's racist. it's unconstitutional. those knows all the things we need to know about it, so there is no option not to act. but the one thing i would say about that legislator, that was, that was just on the screen that is very consistent. and the states that have legalized cannabis, they haven't gone back to deal with the folks that were convicted of cameras that isn't very consistent theme in america. this idea that we correct a law,

but we don't do anything about those persons and families who are harmed by the unfair law. right? so it's easy just to do a thing, right? it what you need. if you want to have impact in people's lives, you have to do the rest of the hard work, which is addressing it, reckoning with it. and one of the things that i'm surprised didn't say, didn't bring up victims and survival make. there was, and survivors were also part of that large mass of people that voted overwhelmingly to change this law in 2018. and when i have conversations with them, they didn't realize that that, that berg was now unanimous. and they understand why we are reckoning with it. and so if the, if the, if the persons who were directly harmed and some of those situations understand why we must reckon with this, it brought listen to the past. then there paid their elected representatives in the state house,

the dom also see that same to find out more about non unanimous joins take out the new fort lines documentary. it's in crowded convictions. it's now streaming on the phone. lines. pals at out is era. dot com back in july to news. yes, parliament was dissolved president chi said is currently ruling by decree. independent journalist sam kimble works into nicea. he took me behind the headlines to explain how people into nicea are living through these tense political types. i was just a few blocks down the street in my neighborhood. it's a largely working class neighborhood, a little bit outside the center of tennessee. and i was asking the fruit seller and his tiny little fruits and what he thought about the nomination of this newest prime minister and all he did is just raises thumbs up and say good, good, good, really good. and when i started to ask in a few further questions,

there was a customer behind me who selecting you know fruits to buy. and he, he couldn't help himself. he kept kind of jumping in with questions until finally he came over and stood in front of me with, with the fruit cellar. talking about how yeah, he agreed with the president's decision since july 25th. then he had confidence in this new prime minister. he has nominated and, and that, you know, even though she's in kind of unknown in politics that would do good thing in the country. but when i asked him about accountability for those who are seen as corrupt and ms handling the, the country and especially as well, he said it's a really good point. yeah, because the, the president i cited had said and taking these measures saying that you wanted to come back corruption and i was going to hold the corrupt was feeling the country's

well accountable and said, yeah, well, there hasn't really been any, any accountability. i said, well, what will you do if there's not 6 months or a year or 2 years and said, well, you know, we're, we're smart, we're smart, people will, will go out into the street or the military will take over. and then the current circumstances, there's so much desperation that there is a chunk of the population that sees the military guiding the country, at least in some areas as a better alternative to the kind of political tasks. and that you can decline that most ordinary tunisians have just experienced over a lot of the last 10 years. some i've just pull up a headline. this is from earlier on this month for a little bit before that, i'm going to shake him on my laptop. it's about 10, easiest 1st female p n. what would be your sam,

unfiltered. take on the piano. what do we need to know? what can you tell us? my sam, unfiltered. take, you know, kind of what i gather from conversations on the street, on the phone, on social media and it, i think that there's a strong possibility that the president, i say it has nominated for this woman knows, look within on a university professor with little to no formal political experience and has, has met and put her in this position, which is largely powerless in the, with the current status. then as a way to signal to the international community that a defender women's rights and then maybe more progressive than he actually is. so some might say that that's kind of a cynical view, but i've heard, you know,

numerous more critically minded folks say that even folks who are kind of a little bit supportive of the president's actions and said, yeah, well, you know, i don't know the lady, especially women i've spoken to said yeah, i don't, i don't know her, i don't, i don't know what she can do. she has improved her, her, her ability to kind of deliver on the promise of the revolution, or the promises of the president, namely, employment that we can make situation that are management of the coven pandemic. the things that affect every day, ordinary tunisians, you know, in their majority. so yeah, that's, that's my kind of off the cuff reaction when i see that headline. all right, so i'm going to say the last question is, sam, maybe mildly filtered and you will see why i'm actually going to share something that you retreated, which was about several journeys, had to go for cover. they were protesting outside of parliament in the bar. the

neighborhood of tunis and they were sorted by police. so you are operating as a journalist, i do understand that there are difficulties that you have in being totally unfiltered about being able to tell the story to needs. what can you tell us about telling the story of 10 years? yeah. yeah. i think telling the story of to me after july 25th has become measurably harder for journalists. people just do public communications and research and reporting. i. it's become articles, harder for a lot of colleagues or at least some colleagues that i know who will be there, faced police harassment and violence and are kind of stonewalling. i myself lost just 2 days after july 25th after those extraordinary measures were taken by the president. i lost my wallet and in it was my, my chinese impressed card. so,

so all of the reporting that i did on camera in the, in the following weeks, was within the walls of the chinese and journalists, the national journalist syndicate. because that was in the safe place that we thought we could do the work without being harassed or just our it stopped by the police who were kind of waiting on guard outside. thank you for bringing your reporting to the screen. and now, as previously advertised that behind the scenes conversation i had was one of africa's biggest thing as song writers. please welcome before we check and a, the queen of afro bates, the darling of social media, u. n. d p goodwill. ambassador i a,

[000:00:00;00]

a, i've been following the law for 5 years, and i notice every time that my audience is going to be

a bit different from my counterparts. it has a mix of many kinds of races, different tribes come together and i'm happy because music, when it comes to music, there is no one language because music itself, it's a language. i love this, i'm just going to say this on my laptop because this maybe now it's one of my face . yes. this is from, from your to the account. it says in the middle of nowhere. those adams? yes. okay. yeah, there's a back story to that. but this, i'm just gonna say one more picture. people staring at you, but not just starting it you, they are singing, i know and they are now i can tell ye me a lot a find what is going on here? this is a mixture of cultures. yes. countries yes. what in your music is reaching out to people. you know, when i 1st arrived at the festival, because actually a festival in north items, massachusetts, i was like i'm on the wrong festival. is that no,

we actually bugged you for this. so we love to hear a music, we think that, that, but everyone out here should get a piece of humanity and like that is all i needed to hear. and so i decided i was going to take them on a journey and the response was beautiful. and like i said, when it comes to music, there is no language music itself. you feel it's, it takes control. i tell you when i look into the audience, the oldest ladies, the ones that looked like maybe there was 60, the dance, the most just poem at their own pace. i look at what passed one of them ladies without looking well. she bought a shot. everybody was really the energy i to me since they're in a long time. i haven't felt that much energy in for ever. it was so beautiful. i loved it. what is it like when you're saying on stage and the audience is singing back to you? i. it always hits home for me when i see the audience singing my songs about to me means that they have they have literally digested the music, understand it,

it's part of them is now their song. and i'm just happy to share that moment with them because that's why i'm here to actually share the moment with my people. i notice on social fit, there are a number really well known. i do an artist touring. the us right now like are, is going, what is it a coincidence? is it something about 90 music? what, what is going on? easy a takeover? you know, i wish there were just one way or just one way to answer that question. but i think that if you check even the previous years, this been every time that i'm toy and a lot of other artists also toying. but this time around, i think it's a bit more special because it's mostly the nigerian are out there. and you know, the rest of the world hasn't exactly picked up on toys. and so maybe we're really just enjoying the spotlight. hey, coverage. hi. this is

a very nigerian thing to do. i have to ask about cove id and touring because i was shot when i saw that you were going to be torn. you asked me took a while for you to come into the country to get your visa. what is what is that like? because other artists are probably looking at you guy, how do you hear me? aladdin. get to talk. how is she doing that? because it so personal in 2020, i got 3 tours cancelled, obviously, because of my american told my european so. and from the 1st time i was going to asia, i really don't know how, cuz i've been looking forward to that. and so when a paternity came to talk america, i almost didn't want to go. and then i felt an awakening. and once that happened, there was no stopping me. so i did the writ necessary applications. my agent filed the necessary documents. i haven't because i was in london for young festival. and i don't know if you're in your london, you need to say another 14 days before you coming to the states. i was privileged to get

a special kind of visa that allows me to go into any parts of to come into america from whatever country from because i'm toy and these events can't go on without me . yeah, i'm obviously on a walk the so. yeah. and obviously that also helps the better the american government and the american economy, and also better my, you know, my status and reach out to my people. but yeah, there's one story i'd like you to tell just to end with. and it's the story from your dad. he's no longer with us. that is the story about him counting out themes. they were big beans and little. you know, so much to me. i know just enough. tell us that being story, because i think it's a perfect story to end on all my niece and every now and then my mom's but the was a few days ago and i got her little gift. i really wish that i had gotten to cars because i really wish my dad was there should have been some cars, not one. i miss him and there's nothing. nothing can replace my dad in my life ever . i will forever. i can wait to see him. i'll wait anyways because i need to do

some things on earth. but their story about bean so i don't know what touched my daddy on this particular debo. he called me into the pal living room and my younger brother was very distracted. i don't think he remembers the story and you say is near me. call me a. com. yeah. bring a couple of beans with you from the kitchen. so that for what we've got to bring in and then i bring in, i'm all grown, be away. what does this man wants? now? i give it to daddy. and then he says, just watch and he puts the book aside because they're always reading. he puts his book a 56, a couple beans and shakes it shakes, they fix it. is that we look at, look at, look into the look into this cop. what do you think that is the bill of numbers and i brought it for you. it's a hollow look at it and i'll describe what you see. i say, i tell him, daddy, i see some small beans. i see on big beans. they're different inside. i mean, it's a little more vigorously and it says now what do you see as oh, there's only small beans on top now? exactly. that is how life is, doesn't matter if you come from

a privileged background. if you are big or small, you're rich or poor. as long as you put in that big or us walk to put in every element of yourself into that work. you will come up, we will come out on top. and i think that is what i have applied in my entire career in my life as a person. when i involve myself in anything i give my own. and i'm thankful to my dad for, you know, being the perfect example living until his last day was a very selfish man, very determined, very disciplined, and he definitely and groomed me to the woman that i am today. oh, my goodness, what a story. thank you. yeah. me stand for producing such a fabulous daughter as who say you about a shell. and that is i show for today. i believe he was

a, i know in the lab wasn't lindsay ah at night in a still cold supper, somali mums patrol to st. fully ski and no longer a clean of gang violence, the use the maternal approach to prevent time a a do we're house, but

a bit to button in the stories we don't often hear told by the people who live them mothers of ring could be. this is europe on al jazeera. i prefer to see things for myself to look at things, not through the lens of politics, but through the lens of humanity. ah, i've been to the playground where to mir rice was shot and killed. i've been to the streets of ferguson, a protest. i've seen the anger and frustrations of so many americans. but what was most clear was a desire for change. you could see black lives matter transforming from hash tag to a movement. ah, being a journalist is about listening to people and understanding where they're coming from, following a story, no matter how long it takes or where it leaves. i'm kristin salumi
