book no planted firmly back series every week on g.w. . in a puzzle yourself by a long long it's not easy to go to another country you know nothing about why folks i am do this because we can't stay on venezuela i'm not down on the support that. closely global news that matters d. w. made for mines. you know just enough as a reporter in mexico one of the most dangerous countries for journalists in the world. she's one of the few reporters left in last month she's in the state of sinaloa where chappell's drug cartel reign supreme.
death threats are part of her daily life. i think what they can kill you any time with you have a bodyguard or not. but i refuse to be intimidated and continuous hard work undaunted. passed on the way to a remote district away from us much she says she has a meeting with women who have been searching for their missing children for us. now it's become a search for bodies. and there are so many we're going to get a mole it's full of it will get all seriously ill i think we'll stay here tonight for 3 skeletons you know and apparently a big gray. like oh what a stench. is this a body this one is decomposing still well if it hasn't been longer or folks want to
just really feel welcome in that but i'm going to broadcast this live a song. to. get that and we want to follow through on one horse's rios with the searchers a 4th day they've been here since sunrise that they were told there might be some secret graves here. that they've discovered one on the scene as i can this women's loved ones have disappeared is good enough only that is here we can see the bones of people who wasn't there a bones here said about it was like the the women have already dug up several graves. for bodies one is still decomposing the others are skeletons or it looks like a secret graveyard doesn't mean all yes yes it does and if it's a secret graveyard those who buried the people here might come back i mean they should send some security please we're scared but i wouldn't look at them the other way that. man amedee knows leading the group some of these women have been looking for their sons for years many were killed by members of the drug cartel and buried
in anon places. over half of those have disappeared the disappeared a see those are thought to have been connected to the drug scene. says that this is often the case because of the poor drop prospects in the region. man and the others often taken to the areas controlled by the drug cartel and so make them there are nice. at least they told us we should stop searching otherwise the same will happen to us one day someone will find us in a grave then when the only one in control of. just a few a little safer man has now a personal bodyguard an ex order was armed and never takes his eyes of her. the search continues. after this is a body part that we found in one of the graves there is the owner of you the rod and the hand. individual body parts bones with skin and clothing
remnants come to light. the smell of decay is almost unbearable but the journalists. and the mothers what's unbearable as the uncertainty is that child this time. i'm glad and yet at the same time i'm sad because i don't know if it's my son or hers feet in the end. it doesn't matter who sanity is. we're searching for them because we love them i mean it feels like my heart is going to jump out my body is shaking my ears a shot you want where you carry on. i'm not going anywhere if it's possible to stay here i will. i mean are you scared no no i'm not scared they've already done their worst what can they do to me now that.
you're a good friend. i want to find him finally i'm waiting and waiting every day i wait. all the. hours later the municipal police has turned up and yet though siena says that corrupt police officers involved in the up duction ordered by the cartel the police do not deny this. you are going to have one of our series benton if you can that's his problem but we are not bands of before. there are officially over 40000 people missing in mexico but there are probably more. men and the other mothers have found almost $500.00 of them dead for. the safety of their yes yes they're more like i am i have a. 9 on this day alone and the police finds even more some have been dead not even
for 2 weeks. they're still also a lot left. to see now takes a different route to work every day just one of her many safety precautions we have . it in if i go to work like somewhere that somebody was killed and since i try to go with a colleague from a different medium. i will. report that i have to protect myself x. you. know that i do is just one of the broadcasters that will see now works for. she is known for a long time as journalists here in the state of sinaloa they are also sufferers. so you see in this case there is their freedom of speech around it. almost 30 percent
perhaps that's the state of our country before they used to say don't cross the drug cartels the military or the church i don't know don't cross the politicians now don't cross the politicians because they're the thieves and the police. at the same time. essentially today our program's ratings will go up today our guest is the woman who knows most about the security situation and seen a lot all rather the lack of it yes i think so too. sure the oh thank you for listening. in we'll start off with the big story of the week. let me tell you that over the weekend rios was transformed into a gigantic graveyard 15 bodies were found. the bodies were brought to the morgue in lost much chance for all those who have missing loved ones. but i see those just enough follows up on the searching month us regularly despite the fact that she has
received many open threats. because here when i quote oh no no i remember once there was a funeral wreath with my name on it in front of my door you don't forget something like that because when it was a form of intimidation as if to say you find bodies you find dead people here you are that your funeral raef. the threat almost became reality about 10 years ago 10 members accused her of spying for another cartel or working for the government so the cartel abducted her. oh my life was in danger i knew they'd rather kill me or let me go but i had already seen all the face and. get back to come so i thought they would kill me what about that. one of them said it was time and made this gesture. another one asked me if i had a last wish. they were the more they
get by the. majority. i said there in the yard less you have this there in the us i have you're turning my daughters into an orphan. get they will we need to let god like your past and let you be well sicko i see i see almost i now both times he looked at me and said nobody had ever said anything like that to him. or i will act as if he told me they usually say let me go and i'll give you money cars land that is the essence of my goal at that moment he put his hand on me. now toss it up on my leg and said if you're not going today she's ok last time yeah. this is the road where they let her go look straight ahead i told her look back once and you're dead you're coming now i i walk straight on that baby i won't try
the all spoiled me see that i prayed to god for my daughters and my family. in that moment i realized i was doing the only thing. because a lot of the only things possible it's been a lot we have to fight for freedom of speech so that there is no corruption no impunity has. been going on it's simply that it's hard if you see. archy based on stand there meant you always live with the risk that if you're on the cartels list they can kill you at any time because yes i think was what i mean with or without a body guard that might then work in a moment as if they i was by that as a day as escort as. she only really understood how close it had been when a colleague of hers was kidnapped just a few days later she knew him and had researched the drug scene with him as well 2 weeks later his body was found in black plastic bags.
all that i am it's me. how are you. very well. and then that all. to see not often visits her sister lara who looks after her youngest daughter has a lean window seen a has a long day was need a yes she's always been very committed to her work from the start. the whole what was it like for me and i'm part of the most like her children's mother yeah these that better the the she's missed many important moments in her daughters' lives than this and larry that this was the past is gone more. i'm sad that she's not here most of the time or you're. still there.
i'm sad because i know that something can happen to her that are. solely because i know that she's not safe when she's working. she's always very strong she doesn't always show her feelings so that we don't feel . that my family and i think that what she's doing is a very good. and yes it is not it will both seem to me i know they're always worried about me which out but it's moving to hear it so you know i think is his mission and they look at the and i think the mother is an example for. what has to be done has to be. 100 percent and a bit extra on top of that ok yes yes this is a long ways given 100 percent and 100 percent extra next that.
