nearly half of last year's interns in the united states were unpaid. earlier her i asked how big of a factor pay is for choosing. >> some people decide to go with the sacrifice and that can mean working extra hours. i spoke to one person who said he walked home because paying was too expensive and then there are others who have to do them but some people end up having to work extra jobs. one person i spoke to said she was looking at three different internships, one was unpaid but was at a nonprofit, the other was paid but not well and the

third option was the investment bank which was very well-paid, did not have financial support, first generation college student. she said sometimes she feels bad talking about it because it does not represent she is or what she wants to do but that is what was necessary. sen. cotton: john: under certain types of students that are more likely than not to base a decision on whether or not they are going to get paid for the summer? >> often we find people who have financial supports and said they were grateful that say this is impossible for everyone. john: does that put disparities into the system? >> it does but he creates two tiers, some data has shown that the people were most offered people of color and women.

it creates a system where some people are being paid and some people aren't, they are shown to be the same way but it creates a division at the very beginning where you are having a first step into the working world. john: are the more likely than others to offer only unpaid internships? >> it helps to divide into two differt categories. internships are internships for wire -- required in areas like social work, fieldwork to treat patients as you go through. open market are internships that are more unregulated that are not attached to a degree

program, kind of morphed into an internship. for example, the european parliament calls for banning open market paid -- unpaid internships. then, it tends to be lesser funded areas, museums, arts areas, media is known and the other category is areas that could be paid but it's not clear why. experts say those areas are ignoring those ethics. it's interesting, the white house just started paying interns last year. >> i should note that the pbs newshour does pay interns.

we talked about the ethics. does u.s. labor law say anything like this? >> there is some justification. it depends on who is the primary beneficiary. it's a little bit of a gray area , so the idea is if you can make a case that the intern is the primary beneficiary, it functions in the classroom and in that case it is a way. a legal expert advises people to pay because they run into people who say it's not that simple, you need a classroom and benefit. john: are there any other efforts in the united states?

>> there have been small efforts in the united states but i do not think they have been successful. in france they have successfully banned open-market internship and have to be paid. experts say that is the most holistic systematic approach. john: why do you think there is no effort in the united states? >> experts say the burden falls on young people so they are expected to make do. the reality is there will always be people whether it's parents to pay bills or they will end up working because it makes sense careerwise.

john: thank you very much. in three years, six west african nations have seen while there are unifying factors, looking at each case individually helps explain what going on. >> the countries hugging northern stretch of the continent. africa has seen a domino effect of the coal uprising. four of them are former colonies of france but anti-french sentiment runs there today. it spreads anti-was propaganda. the wagner group has fighters on the ground, but focusing on foreign influences focuses on

the effects they have on each other. to disss those elements, i am joined by a senior africa advisor and previously served -- thank you so much. why are they imperfect lenses? are any commonalities? >> the first observers mention a's we have had but also country because by the portuguese. it's the same story so i believe

the reason why is the reason why french is so often is because french is a western power which has been extremely present but also so france has become the easy culprit. because of the security situation these countries have had to require international security assistance and how presidents have used security as a way to champion

internationally. >> what background it is leaders have? some of the leaders know each other. >> if we look at the places where they are trained, there are connections that have been made, some of them know one another. what i want to highlight his military coup leaders are very often portrayed she is definitely not the case. in the case of a military intervention. >> has these have taken place,

it seems like there have been increases in the amount of islamic extremist attacks. is there a connection? >> i have read research that suggests what happens is military officials and leaders and want to are fighting are demoralized. they either refuseo fight. the increase in intensity but also frequency. >> as i mentioned, we have seen people waving flags. what is your response?

>> these flags you see they have no doubt about it. i do not believe russia is an important player in the region, i believe there is russian propaganda at light -- play -- i'm looking at the youth, they speak french, most of them. they want to immigrate to france or the united states. >> what are your thoughts and hopes for the future of the region especially when it comes to the overwhelmingly young populations? >> what i'm seeing is democracy in the west has not been that

successful in some african countries including the ones who have recently experienced the coup. i'm hoping the youth find their own path and design the institutions they want toee, and my second hope is we put our emphasis on the private sector which will be able to create the jobs that will be needed in the next few years when these youths will come to the job market seeking a better future. >> make you so much for your time. -- thank you so much for your time. john: we went to the rocky mountains to look at an

united states and what happens is -- >> having an opportunity to have this meaningful connection, not a product but with the plant that you can watch. bring into your kitchen and feed yourselves, this was a great opportunity to think about farming. >> jane is another curator. she says the collaborative nature cultivating creativity. >> this is made them think outside of the normal practice, incorporating these philosophies .

>> she hung them in the space to create this larger-than-life experience, represents the delicacy of the ecosystem. >> at the organic farm, they harvested a main ingredient in a traditional philippine dish. >> click cooking means to me is the world. john: she indulged in some of that love. >> >> this is your exhibit, piece of art. >> working with my mom, this is

an object to bring these components together. the imagery is cultural appropriation. >> the color scheme and carbon is inspired by the art gallery. this is flying that language that re-presents it for asian american audiences. john: the collaboration between farmer and artist.

had ea of you see that? >> when she tried this? they said is better than the stuff i grew up with. >> does it deep in your field? >> we are dimensional lies in our relationships and that naative is that personalization is continuing it further and further. >> fueled by collaboration in nature. we have an update before we go.
