he joins us from leesburg in virginia. frank, thanks so much for being with us on al jazeera. so, according to the committee to protect journalists, 2024 was the deadliest year for journalist since the organization began. documenting all of this in 1992, c. p. j's annual report says $124.00 journalists and media workers were killed across the world. in 2024, that is a staggering figure. just talk to us about how dangerous the landscape has become for journalists, and how much things have changed over the course of the past few decades. and we've never seen a conflict with so many journalists have been killed ever since. 1992, going back in c, b j's data base and going back even to 1981 when the organization was found that and if you go back in time to prior conflicts, there's no, there's no depth. so even in world war 2, world war one that we know of reach is this level. so this is extraordinary. and the fact that 70 percent of them had been killed by israeli forces in the, in gaza or in the wider theater around gaza is alarming. but a, c, b, j has also talked about impunity.
