it has ever been done in a laboratory anywhere in the world. simply put, this is one of the most impressive scientific feats of the 21st century. at least a 180 people have been killed by flooding in kinshasa, the capital of the democratic republic of congo. a main road collapsed during heavy reigns on tuesday. images shed online showed in town neighborhoods flooded by monte water and roads ripped apart. yes, president joe biden is attempting to counter growing chinese and russian influence in africa is invited dozens of african leaders to washington d. c. for a 3 day summit. pardon is also expected to use the event to announce us support the african union becoming a permanent member of the g. 20 there's a top stores do stay with us on out there. he can, the stream is coming out next. i'm on his feet after that. i for now.

i i i, i for me, okay to down the street. we are going to bring you some of the out a 0 english correspondence who bring you the news. they will take us behind the scenes of their reporting and share some of the most important and memorable stories that they filed this year. said hello to john holman. ever morgan admin alphena. they said great to have all of you here. how comfortable or uncomfortable is it to talk about what you've done this year? honest. take off the filter job. just thinking

about that as you're saying you court. thank me because we, we did have a film which was what i was going to tell you about about, jen, it's, i colleagues met what they going through. yeah. and just to publicize it had to be quite low press mexico. so when i spoke to go, that's probably the wrong to get on it and also i just don't like um okay, i can talk about anything. now hipaa to have to talk about the process, the journalism and not just deliver the reporting. does that feel good? it's, it's all hoping we used to talking about obviously, you know, we used to talking about, i would say the people we're doing theories on and the issues returning theories on . but then the process itself, you know, it's a hearing for them and very sometimes it's a happy process. sometimes the depressing process depending on the kind of thing they're getting shot. so yeah, it's very, yeah, no, we don't like as generally as john is to talk about ourselves and what we did,

it was really tough when we didn't eat the whole 5 days. and none of that, none of that makes the news. but i'm sure that people who love the news find that fascinating me now. yeah, because i mean, one of the obvious basic tenants is, you know, you're never the story and you shouldn't become at. so you're always focusing on stories of other people, you know, being the voice of that and man and. busy giving them sort of that, that platform so you don't really get to focus on, on the process of how you got the. busy or the behind the scenes, but it, it does sort of sometimes bare taking a back seat and maybe reflecting on that process because it's good to think about it as well. the reason john is in a car is because he's on the way to a new assignment. which is so appropriate for taking you behind the scenes of what some of our journey to doing this year. john, one of the biggest stories that you covered was for out, is there a fort lines?

and i am going to share just a little moment from that production so people can hear the story and come off the back of it and tell us why it was so important to you in 2022 as take a look at a mixed cruise. one of the most dangerous contingent will be a germ le jack built in 2022, which will place to be little issue. yet up, up a little bit over the past 2 to 3 weeks to come from spoiling some corruption is meant to him is free to talks from everywhere. no, no, so think a moment all there. i know i have mr. think a momento, a sally, a diploma. so john, i'm just thinking about why that's so important. i know that we've regularly talked about. john is under attack in mexico. don't is on the way to an assignment. so we

just last thing for a moment. we're going to call him back and bring him back in to that conversation. i'm going to ben skip across to me now because you had to be quite reflective when you were talking about sri lanka. i'm sorry, we cut just a moment. all right, john, johnny, johnny is now back. now hold tight. this is like doing live tv. this is live tv, so you don't come back here and tell us really why that was one of the most critical stories that you reported on this year. he's done with us. we connect with john in just a moment. i am going to place you a little piece that we do here at our to 0. and the, the story is and the, the thread is caught between us. and it's what often journalists do and tell you about what it was like to tell the story. this between us is from min now. and then when you pick up of the back of it, because i really want to get out, it's to get a sense of how you covered

a huge story for reliant as this year. festival is between us the, the things that have been happening in my country have been quite an emotional journey for me. i'm angry that it had to come to this. i feel let down. because those who were in power in positions of authority haven't really done what they promised to do. the bad management corruption, nepotism, has brought the country to its knees. now if you had to sum up this year in a word, what word would that be for a critical critical, for sure. long as it stands across the road. and the stuff we saw unfolding from the point that this country started sliding into it was taken on the crisis. it has ever known to seeing the impact it had

on ordinary london. you know, it basically led to queues for days on, in shortages of basic assenture. and people really, really, really began to feel the pinch of that cannot make crisis. and that in the anger and the frustration actually lead people to take to the street like the never had before. and i think for so long that led to a process of people taking them, making their voices heard, you know, coming out in public protests which ultimately led to a change in leadership will exist of a prime minister, a president. and i think in that sense it's been critical for sure lanka, you know, can you take us to be some of the shots that you share with us literally take us behind the scenes of your reporting. we didn't see this on tv. what is happening in this chart here? you're on the phone,

you're sitting on the floor. tell us more. so this was actually a goldsmith workshop. if you look at that sort of flat plank in front of that man, that's actually a piece of gold that he generally works with and close by the blue is a gas cylinder. and this was a story we did where we went to talk to people about shortages. and this guy was saying that the use sort of gasoline, the in their work to fashion jewelry. much of it done by hand. and he was telling us how cause had absolutely skyrocketed because of the shortage of gas. they were paying something $3.00 to $4.00 times as much to sort of security on the black market. this is a lady who make food and so that sort of living and she was talking about again how the high cost of living had impacted her. she has a number of grandchildren. she supports this on the road to the prime minister's

office, where we see essentially a deployment of soldiers. we had been camped out there literally for about 2 or 3 hours with the protest that was sort of confronting the police and the military. again here near the goal is face of the presidential secretariat, sort of a standoff between military rights police. as you can see them all, kick it up with gas mark, reach for months on end. we just had many, many times where the authorities use to get volleys of it as well as water cannons to push back protest and sort of break up protests which will very, very common over do you, me go back to john john as factory reconnecting. i wanted you to tell our audience why that particular report, the film that you did before lines was so critical for this year in your report of notebook guide for 2022. yeah,

definitely. i think it was the fact that their colleagues have been in mexico right now for 60 years. so when we do stories about mit can recall says and what the thing is that, that facing the fact that they've been killed. and i suppose strike to cool because people that i've known people have actually gone on deployments with and they've been killed, you know, or they've been associated things that happened to the place from a personal point of view. it's good to see that film. but of course, like, it's also sort of when you look at journalists like doing films about of a gen a. so i think maybe to the public can seem a little bit like what it's just because it's your profession. i think what we tried to do and i made it then we could be pretty cool. who wrote it and have a month. i know if we did all the beautiful images well at central think about it was like this and journalist voices are falling silent in parts of the country that has a direct impact on democracy. know people because you hear less critical voices.

you have an opportunity to make decisions that are informed in terms of who's going to be in charge if you're in terms of governance against organized crime, you know, so it's really important as somebody who's lived for a long time to do it for, for that reason, you know, it was quite like it was quite suited and it reminded you how disturbing it was the line here between international press and national and especially local press and the most violent areas of the country. and i try to include that in the film. when could be for that as well, the part that no international jo, this have been killed in the last decade. meanwhile, the national press, this is the most dangerous country in the world to report. ready off the ukraine, you know, so i don't know like just going to, the hinterland will be dangerous areas of mexico talking to people about, well they going through like i colleagues and then telling some stories that just

might get blood sort of do you, i don't know you have that sent to your privilege, i suppose. and like i was going through that in that village with that proximity to a gang leader who put me on the threat. i think i would have like, you know, become an account or something. you know? so sort of the migration for the my space as well. we all catching you as you are on your way to an assignment. can you tell us what the assignment is and, and perhaps does that gives a sense of what the big stories might be for. you in 2023. yeah, i facebook perry, which is where i'm heading to hopefully no, because then those protests, the around the country, the moment about president just them was just been ousted. he was also trying to dissolve congress and things like that. it's one of those stories i spoke to talking about the group of done this for everyone. the same is called everyone who's in this conversation that have done this. when you get

a message from your editor cook in the morning, we need your improve as soon as possible. 1 o'clock in the afternoon and the team. i'll tell you quickly, the camera tells me she's going to be spending her best play now in impaired, rather than in acapulco rebuild of their friends. so it's, it's not typical, so it's like you're running and before the show is looking at and different media report to try and read on the story. so hopefully in like this time can vary a 3rd in front of the camera telling you exactly what's going on here with my colleague buddy on the sanchez, but at this moment i'm sweating it out. we love to see the sweat. john, thank you so much. before we send you off, do you have like a to go back? are you ready at any moment for that call from doha. like okay, cool. where we're going. be happy. yeah. i do. it's in my own faith is like and it

will record and it's actually trying to show it to someone on the last trip that was on. i think it was quite proud of it. i put it together this year and it quite complete. it was just bag, it's free by the club is still in there. if we, if anyone from organized crime doesn't want to speak, i restarted their work because like 3 black balla clovis is very suspicious thing in the road if you're crossing to a border. so i'm not, i'm not sure if i plan through custom, they won't big that i'm some sort of professional terrorist who's going into the country for some sort of virus. ready purpose john hopkins, thank you so much for sharing your big story or fish. we will, if you wish you every success as you go off on assignment to peru where you will be very authoritative. i showed you and i was just there english. i'm going let john drive off to the airport to come here via this instagram, which is john's instagram here. he says, we have thing what to say in the cemetery,

where out to 0 correspondence shrink. abu k was laid to rest. this may have presences loom large of the visit from president bite into the region. really nice photos from ricardo lopez. so at that moment, this is the point where i want to bring in new to abraham, who really talked about and shared with us this year. her big story of this year, have a listen. i look, this has been the toughest year in my professional career. not only because it has been the deadliest in 16 years, according to you and figures. but also because we love to beloved colleague someone who was passionate and dedicated to telling the palestinian story. sharina wallclear was killed by israeli for his fire and genius. 7 months ago, we had to continue telling the story we had to keep deporting despite the pain, the grief and the trauma. and we're still trying to keep the story alive,

and we knew the pain that we're feeling is that no one has been held accountable. yet if you all knew cheese right now, you can talk to him. morgan l fernandez. 2 of our area english correspondence has had a big stories this year. ladies, we got a good question in from our online audience and not is how do you separate yourself from the story if it hits close to home, showing up at play is one of those stories. but there are other stories that you report on from your region that must feel very past. no. how do you separate yourself? can you separate yourself about well, i think not always, no. because i mean, at least for me, i live in sudan and it's home, right? i'm put in these and i know the people here,

they're part of my everyday life. and whether the story is happening here and how to me or whether it's happening in tomorrow or and dark or you really can always separate yourself. but i think ultimately you have to remember that you're trying to pass on a message and you being somebody else's voice. and if you don't do it professionally and you get to emerge then, and then you kind of distort the message. and i think that's that's what keeps the trait while we're doing our job, that that's how i feel like it is now. yeah, i agree with that because it is civility. and that something that i think will take quite seriously because the nature of stories sometimes, particularly in cases where it is your country, it is your people. you are not somebody who is sort of parachute in, you know, you're leaving it with, with the people that sort of different the ation or that line is

something that you have to sort of, religiously mock and likely. so during the protest in felucca it, there were times when you needed to be really, really careful not to get caught up in the sort of whole of things. i mean, there were from, during those months of protest marches, for example, by certain pocket group, sometimes of gentleness of media who were also joining this kind of protest to take a stand again, the government to sort of devote man, the government to resign. and those things kind of start off a slippery slope because once you start echoing and start taking up activism, then you know, being able to sort of claim that you are credible and you know, not biased or planting towards one side. it becomes difficult. so i think that is

something of a responsibility that you really need to be very, very conscious of and not lose sight of no, i watching on youtube, we have to the media out. the english, i'm following you from somalia, where you have covered somali for a very long time. i really appreciate your valuable work. i am sharing that with a morgan. he knows the region very, very well and is covered stories from that area. it's undeniable that we work for a very serious network in the world of international networks, we are probably brussel sprouts and vegetables. here, not fluffy data and ice cream were pretty hard core. so when a story comes along, that's a little different. our audience, no taste, i correspondence notice as well. if i say poor sudan too, you have what are you going to tell us that will make this next report the balance of play? make sense? what the preamble? what do we need to know that it has fascinating,

fascinating images and when, when i think of force for them now i, you know, you don't think of the usual for them. and i think you should show the fear of what i'm talking about. because i just, yeah, i think that, but i see it even more reporting from port sedan for to dance coastal water is have long been a source of escape and pleasure for the people who live in the city. many come to its tours during the summer months, but ter, company say very few dive to explore below its waters and how no really nothing. we try to show people that the sea has many types of activities, not just fishing. there's diving their islands to explore. they can camp on the coast. there are many activities that can promote tourism in the right. see, and we want to show people that i have with us and pops the while. the african continent being one of them where people have an image about what it's like. and

the stories are often come out of the african continent and dummy thing and under water imagery is not one of them. tell us how you got that story through the newsroom. so we were import sedan we deploy to do a story about that song just a few days back before we would deploy. that is and about $15000.00 she had drowned and we were looking more at the environmental impact and what we were there . we wanted to do something different. you know, we've always, we've visited with them with them, theories about the or, and about you know, the general economy and it's important for an economy and politically. but while we're filming the stand up, you know, we're looking to rise and there's the saving center. and we were bit surprised to we go in and we need some as who you just saw in the, in the package. and we asked her about diving and what we would be. and she said,

father, showing us the main thing, amazing collection of pictures of the coral reef you know, and all 5 and jenny, which is basically, you know, cosigned, you know, go protected pipe and very few people know that. so we sat down with her for about like 20 minutes and she was just so passionate about talking about diving about tourism and then 30 minutes. and we were told them to story that there's something different that we could talk about. and we did the 30 after talking to her and sending them that, you know, we have something different. it's like a postcard from port for them and they were excited about it. well yeah, i had my you being out of reach that one because whenever jenny stand on the beach, nobody believes that they're doing profit stories. okay. so there's one more thing i would like you to do and not just to think about the new yeah. future planning, what are the stories that you feel that you are going to be telling our audience

our view as about in the new year. but 1st, i'm going to stop off with stephanie vox and again and another out english correspondent with the story that was very memorable for her this year. and that takes us to ukraine. we met fairly traumatized people escaping boucher and ben at a time where russian russian soldiers were on a killing spree. so they came and they were barely capable of sharing their stories with us. you could see the fear in their eyes, but it's one story that really has stuck in my mind. that's a story of 95 year old and a half each. and she was in an apartment block maybe on the 7th or 8th floor. and one of the fall and tear soon we were filming. she was trying to convince the old woman to leave. but she said, no, i'm not leaving. i'm, i'm refusing, i'm too old. and i would rather die in my bed. and amid all the bravery of the ukrainians that i saw at the time, this story also showed the helplessness, the feeling that we just simply couldn't do anything for her and had to leave her

behind. of course we're going to be covering ukraine as a network in 2023. have from your region. what would you suggest that we'd be looking at very closely? what's going to be news in 2023? i mean, for us to dine, it's obviously the political developments and the the possibility of a deal between the political parties and, and the protest that we think thing called the year. but i think something that we will be looking more into in the coming year is the impact of climate change in the region and how it fueling so many things you know, like with the economy crisis that we're having and whether it's the conflict inter continental conflicts, that we're having so i think that's something that we've been looking into. so for the well, me now in one minute to the end of the show, what do you predict will be a big story from your region that you are going to be reporting on in 2023. shank,

as attempt to try and get back on its feet again and recover in terms of economic sort of, you know, pulled back from an abbot that literally this country has fallen into. the government is waiting for approval of a bailout package from the international monetary fund, which is taking quite a bit of time. but in the process, the seeing sky high prices, people are really, really struggling to make and meet. and while the government has sort of looked at fiscal policy changes and a whole bunch of reform measures, the impact is having on people is, is really something to watch and see out and turn that around and fernandez him morgan john hall. when on the way to the airport to cover a story, this show proof that not only do we have the best correspondence in the world, we have the best few as, as well. and my biased no,

thank you so much for watching. i really appreciate you. i'll see you next time. take, ah ah. with ah
