clerical work and running a very successful record store. here now, is betty. she can now add author to her less. she is a memoir of a client and life. it is an honor to have you here with us today. welcome. thank you very much. we just mention your abbreviated bio. i want to pick up when you worked in politics in california. which is when you became very involved in planning and developing your current office we will call it. established 18 years ago. would you tell us why your park is such a special place? i believe simply because it is developed as in a home mosh to the world war ii homefront story. women were invited out of their homes to join a nontraditional labor in the effort of the war.
journalists. well, certainly mexico is one of the most dangerous in terms of killing and murder. there have been six murders this year. but if we look at imprisonment, more than half of the 262 journalists imprisoned around the world are in turkey, china and egypt. sadly, these are also three of the countries that president trump chose to meet with their leaders at the beginning of his term and as far as we know didn t raise this. we know that journalists are generally being jailed on anti-state charges which mean they re doing journalism but it s equated with supporting terrorism and we re also seeing that the whole false news issue has landed mosh than twice as many journalists in jail as last year. meaning this dictatorships are using the term fake news as a slur in order to attack journalists? absolutely. we re seeing it s being used to the kick them out of the country as in the case of cambodia, kicking out radio free asia, in terms of delegitimizing
