7:33 am
a tree or merely mimic the perception that the beholder behind the camera. preconceptions, one sided imagery, reclaiming narratives and the trauma of colonialist zation and its lingering legacy, delicately addressed. as a western filmmaker seeks artists in the democratic republic of congo, stopped foaming us a witness documentary on al jazeera. hi, i semi ok to down the street. we're going to bring you some of the out a 0 english correspondence to bring you the news. they will take us behind the scenes with reporting and share some of them most important and memorable stories that they filed this year. so hello to john hohmann. hebron morgan, i'm in elephant on there. so great to have all of you here. how comfortable or
7:34 am
uncomfortable is it to talk about what you've done this year? honest. take off the filter, john. i'm just thinking about that as you court. thank you. let's make it. we did have a film which was was going to tell you about, jen, it's, i colleague met go what they going. yeah. and then just good publicize it to be quite low price in mexico. so i've got, that's probably the wrong answer to get it. all right, and you don't like, i'm okay. i can talk about, i think now a paper to have to talk about the process, the journalism and not just deliver the reporting that does that feel good? is what 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
7:35 am
a happy process sometimes the depressing process depending on the kind of thing they're getting shot. so yeah, it's very, yeah, we don't like as generally as jonas to talk about ourselves and what we did, this was really tough and 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 because i've been one of the, of the basic tenant says, you know, you're never the story and you shouldn't become. so you're always focusing on stories of other people, you know, being the voice that and giving them sort of that, that platform. so you don't really get to focus on the process of how you got. busy the behind the scenes, but it, it does sort of sometimes they're taking a backseat and maybe reflecting on that process because it's good to think about it as the reason john is in a car is because he's on the way to new assignment,
7:36 am
which is so appropriate for taking you behind the scenes of what some of our journey is to doing this year, john, one of the biggest stories that you covered was for out is there are 4 lines at 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 say, important to you in 2020, to take a look. i live with mit screws. one of the most dangerous contingent will be at your unless you have been in 2022 little issue yet with up a little bit over the past 2 different concerns. violence and corruption has been to him. his face attacks from everywhere. no, no. so think a moment, thought, or i have also think a moment those leave it the purpose. hello. so
7:37 am
john, i'm just thinking about why that's so important. i know that we've regularly talked about johnny's under attack in mexico. john is on the way to an assignment. so we just lost him for a moment. we're gonna call him back and bring him back in to that conversation. i'm gonna then 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's john is now back. me now hold tight at this is like doing live tv. this is live tv, so john, come back here and tell us really why that was one of the most critical stories that you reported on this year is done with us right quick. we're connect with john in just a moment. i am going to play for you a little piece that we do here at out 0 and the, the story is and the, the thread is quarter 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 me now,
7:38 am
and then i will you pick up off 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 sri lanka. this year. festival is between us 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 are in power in positions of authority, i haven't really done what they promised to do. 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? forget? critical, critical for sure lanka, as it stands at a crossroads and the stuff we saw unfolding
7:39 am
a from the point that this country started sliding into its worst economic crisis. it has ever known to seeing the impact it had on ordinary. she lumpkins, you know, it, it basically led to cues for days on n shortages of basic essentials. and people really, really, really began to feel the pinch of that economic crisis. and there in the anger and the frustration actually led people to take to the streets like they had never had before. and i think for sure, lanka that led to a process of people taking a stand, making the voices heard you know, coming out in public protest, which ultimately led to a change in leadership, the exit of a prime minister, a president. and i think in that sense it's been critical for sher lanka, you know, can you take us through some of the shots that you share with us,
7:40 am
but 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 they use sort of gas in 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 guess. they were paying something $3.00 to $4.00 times the lunch 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
7:41 am
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. that 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 right police as you can see them all 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 overdue. if you me go back to john. john, thanks for reconnecting. i wanted you to tell our audience why that particular
7:42 am
report, the film that you did before i 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. when we do stories about mit can recruiters and what that means is that, that facing the fact that they've been killed. and i suppose straight to cool because people though i've known people i've actually gone on deployments with and they've been killed, you know, or they've been associated and things have happened to. ready so i space from a personal point of view, good to see that film. but of course, like, it's all sorts of when you look at journalists like doing films about of agenda, i think maybe to the public can seem a little bit like why it's just because it's your profession. i think we try to do . and i made the thing with could be pretty kudos who wrote it and have a month i knew who did all of the beautiful images. well,
7:43 am
central thing about it was like mission. journalist voices are falling silent in parts of the country that has a direct impact from democracy. know people because you hear less critical voices. you have the opportunity to make decisions that are informed in terms of who's going to be in charge appear in terms of governance. it came to organized crime. you know? so it's really important as somebody who's lived for a long time to do it 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 tried to include that in the film and could be for that as well. the part that no international jo, this have been killed in the last decade. meanwhile for the national press, this is the most dangerous country in the world to report. ready off the ukraine, you know,
7:44 am
so i don't know like just going to that 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. so what 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 ration from 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 there, which is where i'm heading to hopefully no, because those protests, the around the country, the moment about a president just was just been ousted. he was also trying to dissolve congress and
7:45 am
things like that. it's one of those stories that we're talking about. the group of them is 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. and that 1 o'clock in the afternoon and the theme vanessa, i'll tell you quickly, the camera that's me going with she's going to be spending her birthday now in, in period rather than in acapulco we go to best friends. so it's, it's not typical. so it's like you're running and i before the show is looking at and different media reports to try and read on the story. so hopefully in like this time i'm going to can very authoritative in front of the camera telling you exactly what's going on with my colleague buddy 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,
7:46 am
cool. where we're going the app. yeah, i do. it's in my all think it's like a little record and it's actually a 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 did 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 there was like 3 black baller. clovis is 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, but i'm still being professional terrorists who's going into the country for some so far as purpose. ready john hopkins, thank you so much for sharing your big story off this year. we will, if you wish you every success. if 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
7:47 am
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, green apple gray was laid to rest. this may have presences loomed large of the visit progressive 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 share with us this year. her big story of this year have a listen. have a look. this has been the toughest year in my professional kitty, and not only because it has been the deadliest in 16 years, according to you and figures. but also because we love the beloved colleague, someone who was passionate and dedicated to telling the palestinian story sharina well, claire was killed by his really for his fire and genius. 7 months ago, we had to continue telling the story we had to keep deporting despite the pain,
7:48 am
the grief and the trauma. and we're still trying to keep the story alive. and we knew that pain that we're feeling is that no one has been held accountable. yet if you own you cheve right now, you can talk to him. morgan l fernandez to out their english correspondence has had big stories this year. navy's, we got a good question in from our online audience, not is how do you separate yourself from the story if it hits close to home sharing i 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,
7:49 am
i live in sudan and it's home, right? i'm pretty nice 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 therefore 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 distorted 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 the hippa, 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 your living
7:50 am
it with, with the people that sort of different see ation or that line is something that you have to accept or religiously mark and likely. so during the protest in felucca, there were times when you needed to be really, really careful not to get caught up in the sort of holes of things. i mean, there were from, during those months of protest there were marches, for example, by certain pocket groups. sometimes of journalists 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,
7:51 am
being able to sort of claim that you are credible and not biased or slanting 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 watching on youtube. we have 2 adult media odyssey or 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 in his cover 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. okay? but not flopping data and ice cream where were pretty hard coal. so when a story comes along, that's a little different audience notice, and i correspondence notice as well, if i say poor sudan to you, however, what are you going to tell us that will make this next report are about to play?
7:52 am
make sense? what is the preamble? what do we need to know of that? it has fascinating, fascinating images. and when you eat, when i think of course that and now i you know, you don't think of the usual sedan and yes, i mean, i think you should show the fears or what i'm talking about because i just, yeah, i can talk. and i think that, but i see it's even more than reporting from port sedan boards to dance coastal waters have long been a source of escape and pleasure for the people who live in the city. many come to its shores during the summer months, but to accompany say, very few dive to explore below its waters. and how little i know it in as in my head, we try to show people that the sea has many types of activities, not just fishing. there's diving, there are islands to explore, they can camp on the coast. there are many activities that can promote tourism in the red sea. and we want to show people that they were there to impact the while
7:53 am
the african continent being one of them where people have an image about what it's like. and the stories that often come out of the african continent and diving an underwater imagery is not one of them. tell us how you got that story through the newsroom. so we were import sedan. we deployed to just sorry about the south vessel. that song just a few days back before we went to play. that is and about $15000.00 she had drowned and we were looking more at the environmental impact and we were there, we wanted to do something different. you know, we've always, we visited them with them theories about the or, and about you know, the general economy and it's important cigna for economy and politically. but while we were filming up, you know,
7:54 am
we're looking to rise and there's the saving center and we were bit surprised to we go in and we meet who just in the, in the package. and we asked her about diving and what we would be. and she father showing as the main thing, amazing collection of pictures of the coral reef you know, and all 5 and jenny, which is basically a, you know, cosigned enough co protective site. 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 being about tourism and then 30 minutes. and we were told them to flurry that there's something different that we could talk about. and we did the theory after talking to her and telling them that, you know, we have something different. it's like a postcard from or dan and they were excited about it. well, yeah, i had my you being out to fix that one because whenever jenny stand on the beach, nobody believes that they're doing proper stories. okay. so there's one more thing
7:55 am
i would like you to do and not just to think about the new year, a future planning. what are the stories that you feel that you're going to be telling our audience? our view is 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 it's been at a time where russ and 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 and 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 i, she was in an apartment block maybe on the 7th or 8th floor. and one of the volunteers and 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
7:56 am
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 saddam, it's obviously the political development and the the possibility of a deal between the political parties and, and the protests that we think things 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 where the economy crisis that we're having. and whether it's the conflict and inter continental conflicts that we're having. so i think that the something that we've been looking into. so for the well me now in one minute was the end of the
7:57 am
show. what do you predict will be a big story from your region that you are going to be reporting on? in 2023 shall anchors attempt to try and get back on its seat again and recover in terms of economic sort of, you know, pulled back from an adverse 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 really, really struggling to make ends meet. and while the government has sort of looked at fiscal policy changes and a whole bunch of other reform measures, the impact this is having on people is, is really something to watch and see out of and turns it around. and i'll fernandez heaven morgan, john harmon on the way to the airport to cover
7:58 am
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, really appreciate you. i'll see you next time. take a ah big business pollutes and plum does the planets we actually have to shift from pursuing and as growth to driving. governments constantly full short on their own climate promises things have to happen now is the real wake up po for the government, modern systems of failing nature and humanity. discovering how the systemic change is needed for the planet to flourish, could happen and conscious tweaking. we need to find them to rethink thrice, coming soon on al jazeera african narratives from african perspectives.
