[laughter] both the rereporter on a bureau chief. There is a lot happening. Today is a big trial kicking off. There is eight people appearing, including a senioior Police Officer whoho used to wo at thehe central policice stati. The main story here is not onon the trial, but i was recently in touch with my people there, and there e is a new head man that jusust moved inike a montn ago. It is like a lets wait and see whos next. Politics is securitizized. It doesnt m matter whicich par you belong to, u need to have a bodyguard. There is other stuff t that cro up as weo along. [inaudible] 90,0, 10000 256 messages. I never intended to become a journalist. It was a career that i a always tell p people, i it chohose me. Yeah, we can talk. How many people were affect the by this alleged stealing of land . I really wanted to stop coveringng politics s to get a sesense of what it t was like i realally cut m my teeth intoot. I discovered like a papassion f it that i didnt even k know existed. I started breaking cases in whenen it was literally almost every week that i was covering some murder of a politician. It wasasnt something that wawa necessarily getting a attention. But then i realized this had to become bigger. R. People need to know about this. I have worked d so hard to make it part of the national agenda. I pray we put it on today. Yeah. When i am done here in 2017, i realized strange things seem to happenn to cases,s, dockets going missing, or witnesses actually ending up being killed in some cases, until the killing of this one. That forced the issue into sharp focus. In here. I want to ask her if these are her own personal body guards or the ones providid by the state. What t things can we talko you about and what cant we talklk to y you about . I dont want into delve too much into the other things. Keepep your mind on the trial. Theases that t are t there. [inaudibib] [speaking native language] where did they see us . [speaking native language] they know that you know. Yes. Two consulates who were in he car on the day he was assassinated. At least the masterminds behind the hits. They have this story for us. [speaking native language] then what happened . [speaking native language] [speaking native languguage] the people that you believe yes, we believe that they are around us. How is that . As long as there is still in the mountain in the back. Inn the same positiononhat you are in, cacan you step this way . Three, two, one, and rolling. The two consulates have turned town being put in witness protection ahead of trial, saying they refuse to abdicate their you duty and the wards they serve. The pair say they still draw strength from him, and his death was not in vain. Almost like a visible depiction of the inadequacies or the failures of the state. Those remaining people who were killed, and really the thing is who was behind it . [speaking native language] [laughter] ok. [speaking native language] hat happened . D . [speaking g native language] [speaking natitive language] [speaking native language] [speaking nanative languagage] what h hpened . 2015. What happened . [speaking nanative language] [speaking native language] [laughter] im very passionate, and i throw myself 110 into whatever i do. But then i did he test sometimes how demanding it is of every aspect of me and my life. There is so much to do, so many storiess to tell. You just never get the rest time that you need. Thank you. Re you daylilight . No. I will tell you about my houous i am alwlways tired. Even i go to gym, and i i am always exhausted. The other day i clapsd twice in one day. What do you mean . I fainted twicece in one day. They were like do you want to go to a hospital here . No. I would rather go back home. I get to the doctors office, and i ritolaly claps at the doctors office. Wowow. And and i literally claps at the doctotors office. D do you think you are writi a book about i it . What im looking for is to get a bodyguard who doublbles up as hit man. Most of the bodyguards double up as hit m men. It is a an occupational i dont think we are targets. That is why. It t could be ignorance abou it. When i was younger, i used d to have those things. I used to think i would return that. Ththey told me youve got t we the bulletproof vest, and i refusesed. To me it wouould be a sign of weakneness. Now that i am older, you can wear them. It is not easy to ask people to continue to talk about things that hurt them, especially with a case like that. There are still a lot of unanswered questions. You dont want to feel like you are exploiting someones pain, even though it is through just trying to make sure that the story doesnt die. Hello . [speaking native language] i am from n news room, afric. [spepeaking native language] letter, bybye. All right, bye. I think the assassination of him is what drove me into things wlike the hell is going on. But there is not one person there. Is a much larger context to it, like the deterioration of the moral fiber of the society. [speaking native language] he was still busy. Yes, he w was a busy man. [speaking native language] we aree missisi him. [speaking native language] just the basics. And then whatever else i need, i can come back and finish. Allll right. M my parents do worry about the risks that come with the job. But i think they have seen the amount of passion that i have. You cant stop me once i have got started. And what angle are you looking at . The government makes political killingngs possible. This creatated an environment f people to do that. Ok, cool. It will feed through the angle i was just speaking about. Actually it has now become an industry to deal with it that way. Byebye. The trifle the socalled cleveland eight has been postponed. I am joined by news from africas bureau chief hortontucker is s studio this afternoon. Share with me your experience of covering issues around the violence, the kilillings at clevelandds hostel, and you have been tracking other political killings, including ananother one. Talk to me about clevelands itself. It has now become almost a business, the business o of killing anand hit m men has bec so prominent bececause o of the high level of u unemployment. Death is alwaways a heart weight away. Literally death is a heartbeat a away. This w whole netetwork that is to have involved policeman, said to have involdd politicianans. Duringhe missionon of inquiry, we hadeard it was a placece whereoliticiansns go shopping for hit t men. The problem i is the weapons th are e used for these assassinations are not legal. They are not traceable. These weapons are either stolen , or they go back as far as the rmed struggle. Im s so tired of the kilill in thiss province. I dont really get disillusioned. I dont think there is much time for that. Sometimes i think i am just going to fall apartment. But i also just keep going, keep going because youou cant tstop. You cant start a story like that and just do it half way. Nine pm at bangkok airport on saturday january the fifth.
