there's mostly still to arrive. But already amazing conversation started to people. Lots of introductions happening. I mean, a ton of us saying, there's something amazing about looking for some very many people
calling and Ryan
is asking sells his conversations saying about meeting, we already feel
that much of
the things we want to get across today
through to
be successful. So when you say all those conversations, Keep talking, Finishing.
what's coming up next, for the last few years.
He had
probably the best moment in his journalistic career about eight weeks ago. When we
did the escapist magazine, We've taken a picture when he was traveling on his phone of a very giant shaggy dog. And he sent it to our practice that this has to be in the magazine. And I don't know, I don't think it had this review.
Ended up on the car
with the Skype. So
this is kind of your version. This is you traveling
around the world with that phone,
taking pictures. I mean, she said a phone is a very old fashioned phone.
And This is your version of Instagram. Yeah, something, something, something like that. And occasionally people within the Office, get the odd snap message. And we're going to try to spin around the world very quickly, Over the next 60 minutes. So have you been doing the conference a few years will know that this is what we do After lunch. So So Here we go notice down the track with it. But I always like to start or at least somewhere within all of this, to have a cover of just something great and world breaking. Who doesn't love a shine? You don't have to say I mean, nothing on a day like today, you'd be a little bit stinky. But that's okay. So every day is a magazine, which is put together by our fashion director, dap, bizarre, absolutely amazing title comes out four times a year. And it's about living off the vine. It's how do you reinvent yourself? It's how do we bring makers into the cities? How do you check out our cities if you want to, but absolutely, really a beautiful title. And By the way, you can contact Canada or Matt. So as we go through this, because there are no titles or slides and it's going to be on this presentation afterwards, will happily send it to you for additional fee. Okay, I think this is just in terms of urban intervention and great architecture. This is an amazing little building. It's just it's just stuck between two townhouses. In Basel right? In the shadow of the largest building, the architects are hh, F, and it doesn't quite interesting, because the developers that you know, we probably put too much space in there. For balconies, They said you're just too much of it is probably green states that have been as you know, probably four months of the year where it's not really sort of weather in Basel. But they said in back in the end, actually, that people liked the fact that they really had this amazing outdoor room so they burn Just remember AJ Jeff and doing really, really great work all over
Switzerland to work in Germany as well.
I just I just great branding, if you happen to be going home, By Paris, it's just great. And you see stores and retail embrace the season and just a clever decade of doing it. The Beaumarchais at the moment something from Art Basel, which I liked, someone recognize this work of sound or great Hungarian artists, this is on ceramic, it just beautiful piece. And our CFO will be happy to know that I didn't buy the company. I just a couple of but just again, it's sort of the world world in general. Yeah, many others. I just thought it was fantastic rooms. That's This is from design Miami this year, but just I color schemes, I think composition was something that caught my eye. But These were the stars of the shows you listen to me talk about your building small vehicles, and we talk about, you know, what works in an urban environment will tell you it works, a bitter, freakish
lightning strike DC,
and you know, again, on sustainability, who doesn't want number 10 seat in the car. But again, these these two, like lovely, lovely vehicles are both both by 3ds. But I'll let you sort of pause on this one. This is called
a show laps.
And it is, again was it was already It was already so but again, a little bit of like fringe, a camouflage forest canopy over I was and the color just unbeatable. And also just to scale in size, which was, you know, probably the distance between these two tables. So everything's kind of funny to you sort of look at, you know, a new chief magenta versus an old super team presenter was, and this is a little bit in the same territory. If anyone's looking for great opportunity, and he sort of goes over, you see what's available and you work with your agencies and whatnot. advise anyone who's looking for a bit of typographic inspirations just under the work of a cow. And of course, that is the the art and design school it goes on. And as Andrew mentioned, our creative director Richard Spencer powers The call the the one over here on the right to do the pizza box spots. And, and it is a little bit like that, but just some really, really amazing work coming out of school and environment that excited throw that in there. If you need to do it that you want to do a corporate retreats, If you just want to have 30 people already here waiting, overlooking Lachlan on that sort of looking towards towards Moscow. This chapter was that and it is just an extraordinary tiny, tiny little vineyard all biological, beautifully executed. And actually one of orange devices that I've seen as of late and hoping that we can do a corporate retreat there maybe maybe sometime next year. Everyone has a mini bar to fill, We don't want to ship this around the world. But This is a project or product called upon out and just want people to buy me something to think. And, and this is a new project it's by a group of interesting entrepreneurs. And This is an interesting sort of busy Pink Ranger driven as a whole great lineup, Love the branding sort of vibe, that sort of splatter of the of the pink grapefruit on on the bottle. And This is just staying in the world of fine beverages. This is a beta and I think oftentimes that people sort of don't realize what's happening in Japan not the world of software first the Japanese government is promoting software but they're also very busy promoting Japanese wines as well Recently I was down in okay
I'm
actually sort of we saw that picture from for most are looking over overlay I saw it not dissimilar seen in some in Japan just it just forest and just amazing scenery. And some of it to me, Guess what all of this has been bought by Suntory You know, when you see his property for us now, It's all going to be vineyards in the years to come Whoops. Hopefully my this is this. This is not a common term. And here we go.
I've been spending time in the Mojave
I just sort of like this is as a as a bit of corporate branding. So Kinjo very true company out of Japan, obviously doing a lot in the coffee space from canisters that you can take to work with you and of course a big business in filter
machines etc.
This is their new space in Mega and I just love just the subtlety of the branding and just to just wonderful sort of brass inset that you see over on the right stuff into concrete if you got a chance to go i think it's it's really one of the more interesting concepts tourism I've seen him play Also at stay in Japan for a moment. Great, great project so this as the some people right remember that in Iraq show you had the big sort of make a movie that's gone. Now first movies built
all department store with a hotel
on top. And I just love this as a as a space saving device Just as amazing well mountable table and all sort of smaller coffee table or bench that exists underneath. But I think it's really interesting. I think one of the big, I think battles that we're going to see the retail people having show downs are so focused on of course, it's going to happen digitally. But there's a big battle between Mucci and IKEA in city centers. And I think this is probably the first start, I think where you're going to see Bobby Richie looking at rolling along like this and see centers around the world. And also stage pad or retailers, people that have been soggy climates. Forget about hunter boots, preventative HMO, you want to help paradise he rubber boots from Japan. It made their fortunes already primarily because of just the fish markets In General. But absolutely outstanding products and also just amazing, Random same time. I just thought this is just a comment in some somebody because remember this new world of fragrance. But will we ever sort of see this type of advertising again to sell a men's fragrance. And This is your old old Dior from your but these posters that are selling in Japan are an absolute fortune as as originals. And we stay in Japan and then we talk about pollution and various things are happening to this restaurant you can't read it. It says Dear customer, we're afraid we can't accept customers that will have perfume on will not be able to enter the restaurant. Even the customers that have a reservation, please avoid putting on perfume.
And and I
think that this has to do with as happy as the Japanese artists, the box of fights coming in from Qatar, and Dubai. And I'm not crazy about food.
This is like a sign
outside of one of our favorite
term accounts in restaurants.
I think the sign says that all the new shots are pretty.
Now also stains are and I thought this is one of the greatest things I've seen to this that the crusade the billion and say fell just around the corner from our office. And it just did the most beautiful, that almost crashed in there. And these are all of the building blocks. So you just park your kids while you absorb the one. And I'm happy to say oftentimes you have to go online to book or reservations that you haven't been able to pick up a copy of Josh Bennett's wonderful drinking a diamond director, we name our top 50 restaurants around the world. This is a shots IV which is also one of the greatest hotel rooms designed at the right house or, and and then I sort of had probably too many of these and it couldn't go back. But they've got It's a
wonderful restaurant. It's one protocol.
And the rifle was also named our number one restaurant in the world. So The consultancy who worked on it are here, also the owner of the property and got something else opening up. But just amazing and no bullshit hotel room just built right the first time. I haven't seen this yet, but I was just walking past a record store. And this is just the vibe of hunger of our best. And so I have to go back to it and track it down. And I think I need to watch it on VHS or something.
I wouldn't be right.
And there was this amazing,
really, really fantastic exhibition, which might still be on if you're on your way webinar on. It was just looking at just great post work. And that was great because it was just the power of every phones outdoor advertising. Super seven calls zero as actual film Roger Brown. So this existed or left bar or in this hijack story. Probably not with tons of excitement. Anyway. You guys the German airline. And then the dominator a fantastic exhibition that anyone is a great filmer. Okay, you see this right? We're out of pharmacy, and there's a big crab in the window. And it's beside the university. Now this is
this is
extraordinary.
Right, Besides the University Hospital,
And also the University of Zurich, and you have this just enormous crowd. Students heading on summer holiday. I mean, this is visual merchandising, obviously fast. We talked a lot about interventions can we get to our cities, and this is just this wonderful, just very simple piece of humanism and design. This gymnasium a room to even see over on the left that says sort of it impasse. And it was just this connection between building the staircase that could take you to the apartments about an institute of wonderful sort of the Toronto breezeway took you through love to see more of that. And I thought, maybe the only place that I've seen that recently in terms of urban development in good ways, is if you've been to Brisbane, of light and and over into Jamestown district, According to Valley area, they've done something, I think, a little bit similar on that. But I love the idea of sort of to bring back the impasse, as a piece of urban design, I think you also need to bring back Of course, airlines where you could have a big sort of mustache and the Gulf region on the front of your aircraft.
And Why not throw dishdasha on top of the plane as well.
This great actor who made Airways,
And it might I might be fine,
uniform, probably on the Norwegian flight attendants, as well.
So This is the the new drawing collection, And just a great place to contemplation and a very, very interesting part at least.
This is
one of the problems I think, you know, a new developers architects in the room, but there's no space left for great backlit signage, which I call graffiti. Shake The boss as high as this room. And all you can do the only person who's benefiting is 3am. Because all you can do is apply violence today. And I think we really need to look at, you know, how are we able to do interesting setbacks, you were trying to figure out what's wrong with retail, robotic, what's wrong is just incredibly or generic design. So I mean, who can left the room with fonts,
and this is in that include Charlotte, in
where I might, but direct? Thank you.
This City trees. And I think this is one of the remarkable things I think we've been able to witness experience here. You see that this the city, It's hot, dry today, because proper urban canopy. And I always wonder why developers or designers just to get this message in there's no point in planting in countries. I mean,
there are there is a path.
But If you want to be able to
regenerate a space, in a short span of time, I think it's always going to be great things that we can learn from
Japan, is that bringing
in trees that are 2530 years old, Do not leave, Of course, landscape architecture, and that I get breathing space, Just the bottom line, our executive
line in our budgets.
And this is just going to market I was talking about earlier if you get a chance, great to see. And just I mean just a one word means now Andy mentioned, this is Eric, ladies and gentlemen. And this is my cover shot. And you know he's going to talk about it. If you have a chance next winter, I really really recommend a little trip. Up to this is just about Ben and and this is this we're talking about sort of at that moment of first impressions and greeting Eric today and burgers, they're sort of sitting on top of this snow mound waiting to meet you. And truly makes it an absolutely memorable experience. This is just an Austria. And I just had to picture this because this is kind of what you want from retail. So this was part of a butcher shop and just in the corner, They just had every single thing that you needed in a compact space, Every the quality everything source locally, but it was just the the most exquisite small grocery shop. And If you want to move fast and you want snow and you want winter, This is one direction trips identified is about to outdoor in Japan, and you get you get up to our glory. By taking the ground class on the shipping costs, I mean, that is what rail needs to apply. It was just one of the most beautiful trips. So a great train ride. But I think also to go up to the city as well. It's just screaming for opportunity and redevelopment. And It's such a wonderful party, time to review the apple basket of Japan. And just before I Go, I want to know two things. One, just this magazine image, which an issue which is just focused on on reinvention, I think also embracing what we might do in our silver years. And it just tells the story just people have gone and change their lives and done different things. And This is the couple who decided to go and relocate to Okinawa and the upstairs from from Taiwan. So I just did a complete reinvention of what they've done. And I want to just leave you with an interesting one. And this is just, I have to ask the question,
why? Okay,
this is we're talking about hotel rooms. And you might be
able to close that through this Dear Mr. relay.
Welcome back at the hotel to fail. We wish
you a happy six Stay with us.
What the hell am I going to do with the plane?
So anyway, I think Rob sort of said this still, but I think as we've learned over
Thank you very much
to do some gear shifts
to head off a very, very
different direction. But I think we've tended to
happen the most exciting and interesting and important panels.
The presentation the end
of the things he likes his shots.
My
I'm going to start this week I spoke to Ron earlier this year as a an amazing
book, which for various reasons because the riots can't be sold or any 2000 copies of this last one. We have a few in the studio. And if people are willing to make a good donation, you can have one of these two fastballs
the money goes to a CPG committed Professor Jones. Now The reason that I got in touch with
with Roland was because somebody who died between Kundalini can come up with this idea was that important to you to change the narrative around the danger of many journalists. So we know that many amazing photographers and journalists have lost, He wants to buy some CPG. So he needed a kind of moving things he asked the status and the families of journalists would be killed. To give him just the very last thing they shot, or the very last words they find. Sometimes it's about more of a conflict with the situation, if I find something, sometimes MMOs. And then I spoke to wrong these very hungry opens the justice that is not going to take and I think
we want to be very wary in this conversation, not
beating up the role of the war correspondent.
Same color conflict. And we don't want to get
into mounting.
But I guess I hope that idea I've already spoken, of course of all panelists, music for this, there's something that comes out still kind of first,
and then something better, You need something, you need something to drive forward. And one of them. One of them are on a fast track. To sum it up. I've taken something from Alaska, They have a great set of videos, you can go and watch online. And we've edited this down with Lauren Collins permission. This is
the mother James Foley. Sorry
to not do.
But This is just too busy trying to explain
who these people are and
what makes a good journalist.
My name is Diane Foley, and I'm the mother of American journalists James follow.
After change.
Oh, there's so much I discovered about children really, I had not realized how much he had thought about the wife and the why of living what makes life worth living, if you will. And I discovered one of his lectures upon his return from Libya. And he talked about the fact that for some reason, he had physical courage.
But What was more essential was
moral courage, Was he willing to risk any reprisals on his own Korea To tell the truth.
And he felt that that was the essence of true journalism, to have the moral courage to dare to speak the truth to find the truth,
so that others might know what is going on.
I, myself would I was ignorant about the value of journalists, I had no idea The risks journalists take to bring us photographs, stories, news, so that we might know what's happening in the world. And in our own country, around the corner, they risk a lot person to tell those stories. And I've come to understand that the truth that they unveil to their storytelling through their photographs are essential for our democracy.
Run you run amazing size Seven agency for 30 years, you have been in these situations, you've been on the difficulty of the micro level.
And one
You've been
in front of this amazing agency, you've been on the front line for 30 years, when I spoke to you when we did the story about last time you said, Joe, I could have been in this situation numerous numerous times. But
let me make it clear. I definitely never wanted to risk my life I've ever wanted to end up
in these situations. But just as you off the back of this,
what is it that made you do that job for 30 years? And I guess what is your job, as you said,
I think quite simply the job, His
job is to amplify the voices that need to be heard. The job is to hold people accountable
for their actions and
actions. And journalism is a key part of as part of the process that the work that we do, and we hand off to you, as citizens of the world, then go out on pressure is governance, totally different way, donate money. So on the back. For me, it's been part of a partnership,
in the hope that nothing
can stop for but the ability to affect one live two lives maybe more for
the better, He's already worthwhile. We should say
to everybody that the photographs
really in the background for wellness
pictures, without captions and wrongs, chosen the order in which they go.
Wrong. There's a gentleman so
quick, but if everyone is obviously familiar with these images, and they are separate these sorts
of images, I wanted to
bring you in.
I wanted to bring you in and talk about
visibility and visibility, and putting yourself as a journalist in the story. You wrote
a book about
your cash by ISIS,
You're here to tell the tale that you ever seen the benefits physically not
about and I can tell specifically about why you wouldn't actually in the first place the historical
reasons to that. One is it not to be in the story.
Actually, it's
very personal for me to be
here towards this, this features or,
or dance features, because I was
I was one of the best person to see a chance for me a knife. I had been detained for 10 months.
We were a total of 24
Westerners coming from different countries, And from this word from an institute for and walkers. And
Wow, that's it's
a similar question, to transfer in question about visibility.
I mean, I don't like to use a teacher and
go on a front page. It will be just to give people a chance
to have a message. Well, or their stories told
to the to the world. And It's not because I
go to sleep or whatever. I'm not there for me. Of course they have pleasure. Yes, I shouldn't be too bad news is the
1999. But
but
yes, I
wrote from time to time for 20 years.
And the idea from
the very beginning from the first day to day started was to, to meet with people
to tell their stories. And that to me as a teacher. And it's really,
because I had this
long accident.
Before work accident. So if you
if you look at the French and the Social Security system, It was
19 specialization, the time, as
late as it was stage.
They didn't have to have notebooks to do for that. So
put it back. Okay, I had been 10 months in the hospital.
Okay.
Before we move on from it, Nobody flew by just before we move on to the,
in the introduction to the book, you say somebody's been through an extraordinary phrase which you repeat, which is, I'm not afraid. And that's one of the things he wants to come back from this why you stayed, you know, covering the story, when
you read the rise of ISIS in
a different view. How important was it when you came back from that experience to be able to say,
join even now there are things I know about this organization, and there are ideas that I've got that need to get out there, I'm not going to walk away from the store, Nobody would have taken hostage. And to deliver your release, you're free, you can just turn the page and go to something else. In my case, since we
were a very large number of stitches,
it was different. As a day and where you live the truth we were for
for journalism, we have been raised together.
We have we we left
15 friends behind. And then we have lots of families to talk to us to, to to provide them to
what we have seeks to do. And as a stories,
many offer free for us. But since it's not far from friends, and we have safe, still seems to And The
point is that
after Syria and move on to what happened after I've been released and moved to Paris, And two years after my release,
We started having dinner last Tuesday attacks in Paris. And actually it's a very diverse and people within as you
collected. This huge abduction campaign, the Franco's
oppressor area that later organized
is the
lucky is the wave of terror attacks
in across Europe. It's a very simple, This is
a group that was in charge of us. And some of them were French, some were British, as long as we had two pictures of the, of the murders. And but So
basically,
when I heard about the use of
the better chance to serve being a dark side,
I had to stewed with you quickly is that some
of the people I met who were generous.
Two years earlier in Syria,
Were just
two mentors additions away from me, And from
my family, And from my kids from the
middle of Paris.
This is all we're talking about,
about unfinished business and you're putting on your different lives. For some advice on finish stories, we never get to the end of that. We talked briefly about this last night how this was satisfaction and kind of excuse
of not being able to finish what you're doing them the
story of well on and on and on. And you can jump in and tell the story And the satisfactions and the frustrations there.
Is that how it feels, you know from what the command not jumping in your way to tell,
Remember to tell a person a huge
I think for
me, it's probably slightly different because I have
been essentially covering one countries
around the region, contract
but for
So
and I realized the quality that I think
I have a real problem with
particularly with TV journalism, where you have journalists digging in and out of conflicts going from one place to the next because
you know we are wanting to journalism will do it because we believe in it the truth are holding governments to camps, and those kind of ideas. But I never really imagined that I'd spend a large amount of my time energy fighting the narrative of the journalists because
being in the picture,
Yeah, because I'm so uninformed about a particular place. There's not just misinformation, It's actually wrong. And that's incredibly frustrating. And that's why I kind of one of the many reasons I've ended up sticking with you is what you know, took me at least two years to get my head around the politics there. And I definitely put myself in Yemen expert, even though I've been doing it for nine years, I call myself a specialist, because it's always changing. And the story is changing, the politics always changing. And I think particularly now, because the way that businesses have done is that the financial side of it, you have particularly has to be correspondent dipping in a map. And they may spend one week in in one country and not for 10 years. And we're really losing my aspects of kind of hanging onto the doors. And I think print journalism, obviously, we've got more of an opportunity to finance tonight. And we will start the long form journalism. But still, I think you can get that nuance in even when you're doing short form journalism, that battle
I find
myself fighting for it against most of the time is to get out and
ask you,
again, the conversation I had with everybody before
I was
being careful about language.
And you also wanted to point out that
you have
been safe in the
way you've done your reporting. And your background was a little bit waited, maybe you could just
so that we don't fall into the trap. So thinking of a war correspondents and films go by, Why is it
important that you you will not go to war correspondent?
What why is that language and this this notion of danger somehow?
kind of important to buy your games?
Yeah, I think lionizing jobs conflicts is another real problem for me because I could go chasing somebody else, I have a choice. I do what I do, because, again, you know, something, I enjoy doing a lot
doing it.
And I'm quite stubborn.
I do like going up against governments, with my reporting, And that kind of a thing. But yeah, I mean, I worked in horse racing for 15 years before I did this job. And Yeah, I mean, I broke both my legs boys at five, back, broke my nose got knocked unconscious several times, lost brains and was riding accidents goes on when I was probably about 15 or 16. But when I'm standing up here and talking about kind of thinking the same way. We're in primitive positions, we can go in and out of countries like that. And I think more realize that the next we're talking about, as we just heard, people are actually being impacted on the ground. And that's what you should be focusing on. Not ourselves when we do a job. Yes. Because we know that this will be taken I could go and do something years ago, I wanted to so I'm you know, I'm not an adrenaline junkie. I'm stubborn. I'm not particularly worried if anybody looks on the on the Rachael Ray's was going to testify. And So yeah, I just got started. But yeah, I don't consider myself a particularly special person. But you know, I didn't come to overnight. I'm my parents, I do things I definitely do. So we all have positive sets and things that we choose to do. And I just chose to do this. And also I go to the other one was called before came to me rob the other way around, I just stuck around and on and on, and on the calendar.
But as you can see why people that's what we're doing this camera can see why people are interested
in is that they are trying to be physical but need to be visible to tell the story.
patient is wrong. We're looking at them now. these are these are
the faces is serious, Documenting something new. So as you said before,
I did a radio show. Don McCullin retrospective.
And he talks about that Think about the idea.
The problem of beach do you how do you
regard is because you're
on the ocean, you have to make an edit on the shots to choose. You have to balance presumably the idea
of beauty and artistic work and the ultimate truth. And
I think it has been certainly been criticized for beautifying cognac. But to be honest with us, it is without question. Purpose. So The purpose of the cause, especially in today's age, where they were trained images taken this year, Neither work to resonate in the work for you to look at it more than one second, I need the viewer to have a relationship with that
image and emotional relationship,
aesthetic relationship. And If you can, if I
can do that through life color composition, then
not being able to move away from it, it's just an ugly photograph of the car will be seen. It's very easy to slip away. It's done. What's the point? So I'm very deliberate
about that, I
want you to look at the photograph, I want you to be seduced into having relationship with
Nicholas, James and not everyone is talking about these journals a dive into a situation for a couple days or right on the security desk about complicated situations and those who face to face the danger
zone title,
which is because of two reasons.
One is obviously you know, the stages
of a dangerous dangers that we see more and more is that you can take
pictures, you can upload it
within minutes. And you can be sure within 10 minutes somebody saying it's not true that everybody's banged up. And this
is the this is an underlying danger of Jones because I know some of the seniors and innovations and
stories and the mystical energies of the universe is discussion and a fake news. Fake News. What do you think that much of what we end up reading about complicated situations I Syria
just isn't correct.
inflammation is a big issue and we have seen it. We have
seen I have seen it myself.
And there is of course, a
condition between misinformation disinformation, propaganda.
What is one more intentionality and more
falseness
In some ways, and
better way to hate to turn towards fake news. Fake News is a war used by dictators and dinosaur giants. So This is there. This is more of someone who wants to attack the press.
To properly criticize the press,
yes, of course, journalists make a mistake. We are human like,
so Who doesn't make mistake, please come here
and tell the truth. But
it's never made.
But he's done his interviews. This is
just because the
room is dark. And I don't see anyone.
So Please, stop,
stop living. And we are talking about misinformation, disinformation
and propaganda reports.
Welcome to Georgia.
Because the focus, because
I mean, just certainly,
I mean, it's so frustrating After you have
taken so much for yourself personally physical risk, to bring back news to your to the audience
to see some kind of fancy conspiracy theories have been around. And I Ok. So at
this point, nothing was efficient.
If and that belief,
I think sort of comes a little bit back to the last project, because we decided to do this Monday, because so often,
as journalists, there's their lives in pursuit of this work. They're just statistics like this, like
the refugees, they're covering
the system, somebody actually put a face on. And So this idea that sort of combat that. And the other thing is they're actually
real people,
100 people that should be respected. People that are working very hard to bring truth to their to their public's is important. It's called the last column project is a, an awareness project to reinforce that. And also, it's also
I can just add, that a lot of people
that are dying, didn't die incompetent, They died, they were killed in outside their house, in their office, doing corruption stories, Stories against governments. And this is a there's an attack on the media
around the world
is unfortunately for me being led by American distraction. But it is very quickly catching on. And of course, I agree because the term fake news is, is brutal, and it is dangerous for all of us.
Its attempt to
attack the press to attack the coming here to criticize it
almost full just fine. And we're going to take some questions.
And the mines worried. We're going to say
one last one, which was when
a journalist Secretary Tobin
is killed doing the job,
Good job.
And I make a point of film and a successful
What was that? Because that's complete visibility of the journalists. But also, depending on what you think people are
interested in the personality of Mary Cohen type or Muslim? Or are they interested in, in the rules that she
was without without describing the dynamics?
Okay, I was lucky with the Sunday Times. Did you
actually want to walk
around with American friends again?
And Yeah, I was very cool, because, you know, going back to what I previously said, it's kind of first iteration, not kind of Hollywood eyes notion of journalism. And I think actually, one of the biggest problems I have with that film was, and you will know more about this, perhaps than I Love is the amount of people serial killers When they got the spy designs. And that was neatly mentioned. And one of three things was you know, about giving a voice to the voiceless about bear witness. And I wonder how she would felt about that, about how many people had died, trying to rescue those other journalists that are inspired? And for me, that was, yeah, that was one of the many bugbears about that film. And yeah, I think trying to the Hollywood version of kind of war correspondents, just is took me beyond
belief. citizens.
Anyone knows anything about this context? What does
he know? He
was the one who said that. On the flip side,
I mentioned there are people
that have no idea there was a war in Syria until they watched the movie. Yeah. So
we're going to try and take your questions from the floor, because
this is such an important topic. So
hands going up.
Because the like,
Thank you so much, for this incredible presentation. I wonder if you could speak a little bit about outrage.
He he mentioned
that he wanted two people to form a relationship for photographs. But now I'm reporting on the MMO. There's the war in Syria, there's a constant stream of tragedies. And I wonder if that has altered the way that you report your stories or
do your jobs knowing that
consumers are faced with a nonstop stream of
atrocious news?
So I wondered if you could just speak to how that's influenced your own process
in
storytelling or covering
some of these issues? Wrong, maybe as a person
of interest? We've touched
on this later. But do you think that there is a city? Or do you think it's just finding
a way of telling the stories, I think that the tea is is is nothing then when you start to go back to end, my career was spent performing Swabia and for years, we were reporting and it was being ignored, Very similar to what's happening in Syria. So I think that one of the things that is kind of donor fatigue or audience, It's a little bit of a cop out from the audience. We don't have responsibilities to kind
of actually play the role.
citizens of the world take responsibility for our governments are giving an army. And that might take a little bit more effort to kind of search out a little bit more time we can photographs reading stories, watching TV song, not saying he's doing every day with all the different wars, and the women were kind of saying like, oh, there's too many pictures, there's too much stuff on the sidelines is overwhelmed by it. I think that's irresponsible
reaction from much
of the world. And I think that amount of it is coming to this idea of visual literacy and how to understand it, and
how the education process is working,
especially with young people. So I think as you mentioned earlier about this infinite amount of information on the internet with learn how to work with that, and that includes daily things, but I think that it is
It cannot be passed on you have to be interactive, as question By
working for yourself in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, I got to go back to and this last question, Obviously, you are the real deal. On
our lungs,
where this misinformation, disinformation propaganda is produced
in the basements or in the skyscrapers of the capital of
Hollywood.
It's staying organized in many levels,
whether last
Moscow
basement, there is somebody out there
trying to change the narrative.
You will not fight
for picking them originally,
by today by correcting them, one after the officer, of course factor is important. The differentiating factor is
unjust process.
So what you need, what we need to do is to give to the public, The key is to understand what is fishing used, and what to fish news with today. So If you see something that looks and exactly the internet up too
much as this contest, Because you will be part of the problem.
I suppose as far as
I know, the interesting thing is all three of
you got to report story and share information
and miracles was changed. And It's very corporate, both those refugees are interested in something as a side
project. And welcome to
Ron's and more languages, and modern languages is genocide, project management, the all time designed to change that. So you have a
separate set of an organization instead of a way to to monitor what's happening in the country. And That was it for you not to just report the story and then try and disseminate or agency information try and change lives? Yeah.
Yeah. So one of the other things I work on, I think we have a day projects. And then we got actually do advocacy. It's all about collecting data. And so therefore not campaigning on that data. Basically, maintain his independence and the logistics of the data. And that is based on on the asteroid surrounding the details targets. And we also collect data on the ground conference as well. And from for me, particularly, that's all about transparency. Unlike the Echoplex in in Syria, What are some of the visualizations were sort of getting details on on what they're carrying as drives? That hasn't happened at all Indiana. So it's a kind of historical record, as well as trying to create some form of transparency of
what's going on, as well
as just providing a very large database for people to use a journalist to visit agencies use this human rights lawyers abuses. And yeah, it's been now i've you know, I was doing it voluntarily to the first month to a year and a half, two years, and the project didn't have any funding at all. And in the last year, they've been funding and I just wanted it is run by Yemenis.
remain anonymous, because our insecurities As I've managed to irritate everybody, equally, I'm quite happy to do
that. And take any flack,
from nothing from from kind of being seen as
some aggressive but no, maybe the biggest critics explain. So Ron is setting up three physical schools to train young kids
to do what he does, and he's doing it is you're doing Kairos. And you also have a project in Rwanda, after the event.
So I'm working on with the seven Academy is a nonprofit agency, which has been tasked with training journalism students in digital journalism, for free. And that's going to be spending a lot of time doing that.
Is there another question? Is
my question to you a little bit about? And
read more, the more educated,
We Want More as
leaders as just the general community? Can we take it one step further? And to actually, where would you recommend we go?
What do we do outside of just sharing
a news article or
having conversations with friends, what we have with us,
is one of the directors
to do to try
to stop
us. I mean, the breath is dying for media,
because the world is dying of
lack of money. I don't know if that's your
own magazine, but I'm totally generally speaking.
So it's an economic model
of most of the media
is, as became extremely French.
And becoming very
difficult has become very difficult for us to purchase and report on the ground,
or even for TV station or for radio, whatever. I mean, it's, They have financial difficulties, because more and more and, of course,
because of the internet and photography, It has been a disaster and nobody wants to pay for for virtual anymore, but to 110 degrees.
Better than that. So people believe that news is free, because we can access to the US for free, we can read and there is moving forward, without paying anything to just buy one version of the internet. This is not enough, The model will collapse if we don't contribute, If we don't share the expense of turn on the field and collecting the news. Yeah, I definitely
agree that as a freelance journalist, The first time I went back to Yemen, When the war escalates in 2015, I was selling my late father's furniture was paid, my flights have gone up by six fault. I gotta get I started up a Patreon site, I would love to do my work. As a freelance journalist, I haven't put up my costs up front, that's $3,000. And I may not get paid back. And either some of it comes in several months later, you know, I still want friends pay when I'm in a field for six weeks. So Yeah, the financial model freelancing particularly it's Yeah, it's really difficult. But as far as what we can do, as well, kind of goes back to the previous question about how to do voting. For me, I always try and take it back, as well as the audience you're writing for I write for the US is what is the UK about where the the taxpayers money is going in relation to? How your government is active in that conflict? How are you that will personally be connected, because your money your parents, your governments, and how Lastly, expense. And Therefore, as far as action goes, the influence you can have on the road lawmakers, the people that someone like you haven't had over the past, you can have an impact on lawmakers in the US or the UK or Germany or elsewhere. And we have that power. So How about other automakers are in countries where people have been impacted on the ground?
We're almost out of time. We just wanted to explain a tiny reason.
Another reason why we got involved in
this and why we've been a consistent sport with the CPG. Giant across many years.
Just a tiny story. I'm not sure that how much time
Are they obviously, when he started his career running magazine starting, okay. But the reason
was, it was shot and battery
to the Afghanistan and came back to UK and as a new and that's why we're okay, succeeding in some areas. And that notion of journalists being safe, Journalists getting
loans off the top of their heads. Stories is always been really significant to us. And we've often talked about this notion about
what happens often the story as well. I think
when the most glorious things that is hearing there is
I love this idea of school projects being set up in these new schools to try and another generation
to do, I think, really is a very good job, Rob.
Yeah, it's so great. And I'm
honored to share the stage with you three. Thanks for telling us your stories, showing us your frankly very beautiful photographs wrong. And I am a thanks to thanks for
all for shining a
light on the realities of actually getting this stuff into print as well. I'm fascinated by that. Thank you very much for your opinions on something just
to say to
you, He says he says
he's done a great, great job. And he's got this this book here as well.
I would encourage you to go and
sign him and continue the conversation about evangelism. But a huge round of applause rap amazing.
But slightly smaller, which makes me I'm many laps around
these people. Today
teachers,
Huge students.
Such nice these
trees with all together.
Today, my journeys been
a few short times
is as close to that doors as possible.
It's not just mine
smiles.
It's time to stop the script.
To do some
logistics, explain what happened.
So last year, we One of my colleagues imagined himself as a trap observer. And he did it very successfully. So we we separate channels from
one of our
other, He's quite good.
Obviously, as we move into the next discussion to talk about the city, and what makes a great city mobility and how to get around the most important questions.
And I'm delighted to say that I think we have
the most important earners of our generation
to join us in Spanish.
Young
men several times
before many
discussions you trying to become
basic good or bad city?
Tommy, Let me see
How,
how prepared are we? How are we going to change the way to get around in the cities of the future.
I'm very happy for this little film about the loss. Because I was sitting there for a long time thinking that after these very compelling stories about all the misery in the world, and this great work these journalists were doing, it would be difficult to talk about niceties with everyday life, and all the other things of the picture. But this little past story, which also had any
old people,
because that's part of the future for the cities that we are and I have sort of missed a little bit is that I'm very good with the sensitivity that
I am, we are about to have a situation where 2024 or 30% of the population are retired people, most of them in good health and having about 20 years of life expectancy. And they are also to be in our cities. And they may not go for these musical festivals. And we're not going to go to restaurants down there. But that's just one of the of the challenges we had in CD Baby today. But we had several challenges, which are some overriding all the other one is that we had the seating syndrome that were his organization had pointed out and mainly I want to point out also that we have a full generation of people who are sick because of city. And we know that people in suburbs, they die earlier than we do in cities, because in cities, there are more stairs and they want more. And We're here for a message to say you should do whatever you can to have as many as possible walk as much as possible. And ice. That's one thing about turning the movies into so first of America, which is good for your health. But also we have the climate issue, when we know that we have to do something seriously the co2 emissions. And we have we are running out of time to change our behavior. And we have a short little time frame in which to change the way we move and the way we use our cities. So there are some major challenges out there. But
still, I think, two answers to many of the questions. Which City do you think is getting more?
So for me to do, but I have to say that Copenhagen is
complete, they have worked in 57 years, to make it to make to public spaces to make people want more people passing the ball, and probably videos that teach you
more, And also the bicycle as much as possible. Also
drive me know that wants to invite you to make more sweets, and why you would like more Bing
We know now that the beat of the other way and invite people to use the public spaces for him to move the store. We get much more of that and get a much nicer city and his food for his
everyday is amazing.
What makes Denmark particularly good. So it is marrying of politics and culture and it gets good on Islam. Or were you just lucky that young guy was born in Copenhagen, maybe go changing the city is not more complicated than that. I'm an architect, I graduated in 1960. And in 1961, I married a psychologist, I was trained to do all the general credit savings to put in a lot of cars and a lot of blocks of concrete blocks in cities. And they might make this psychologist and many of her friends and all the young artists we make these young psychologists and they kept saying Why
are you not interested in being
able to be able to do to manipulate passively with people's children? Why don't they teach you anything in store by about to
end up thinking about why would professors to want for clock in the morning to take pictures of the monuments to be sure that notice lighting people in the villages, all these we started to discuss in this instance. And in the face of myself, and also my wife, we realized that there was no knowledge about how the trainings and whatever we did in the physical world influence the quality of life, and how we use the city sandwich time. And that was the beginning of yourself. expanding your knowledge 15 some nine years studying of different cities, and how we can make cities so that people love to be there and love to use them. And that is actually for
the gifts and the time. So it would be amazing
projects in your
pipeline. A lot company,
I kind of get away. So this is great. Because
I don't get any more design. We're not fully into another traction, which is now suddenly everyone saying, Okay, we've
got people sounding fine.
So Now let's get electric scooters. So there's
no benefit whatsoever. And then we have our assigning, we're excited to be planning for
the arrival of
flying taxis.
He wants a flying taxi a house of mine
is not really the solution that we we mess it up somehow from grandma to start adding another layer on top.
So driving cars, is the car. So wanting to be excited about self driving cars. And Should we be pushing more and more on these
simple mobility tools moving? Why is everyone so excited about this last mile, and electrifying I using our first Firstly, we completely agree about this scooters when you don't move at all, or electrical bikes? And do you
use your muscles a bit? Not too much.
So It is not really solution to what we're talking about. I
really think that it's been a
fantastic hype
about that we don't
have to do in some cities, because in a short little while, we'll have automatic cars, and we will have electric cars, we will have a doctor's and drones and smart city and then all our problems will be solved. I think that this kind of scenario will solve the problems for for the automobile industry. But I'm not so sure that it will, it will solve the problems for the cities, and especially these things will be very expensive to implement in a number of years and in cost a lot of money. And If we look at where the expansion of the urban population is happening, left in Africa, and Southeast Asia, in India and in Bangladesh, and whenever they are not the ones who have told somebody ready to pay for automated cars and sponsors, So we really need to have some models, which we can start with via waiting, and which cost Mr. Lawson and that's what I see many do we have Megan is not so on interesting enough the road, because they have really pioneers to, to invite people to walk and use parking spaces and ICT 41% of all the community to working with me. And then cost me nothing, because so cheap is to invest in that is infrastructure for walking and for ICT infrastructure for lightweight and for Metro and for classes. And McDonald feels much more expensive. And that also makes this kind of model of
doing whatever
you can to lead people to suffer
less, That could be great in the fast growing cities, it can be used all over the moon. By the way, we don't have to wait for the opportunity.
Because so he was livelier no more for emergencies when we meet our neighbors, and where we do not be. And
that actually is from the Copenhagen official statistics here now is not this
is the strategy, which was made by the City Council 10 years ago, we will make Copenhagen the best seat in the world for people. And they say is not about walkability, is about walking, but it's about public space, It can be about making a city so that you are changing to make out of your private square your private place about in the public space them out on the streets meet each other face to face. Because that's good for him. It's good for climate, and that's good for social interaction makes a safer city, more livable cities, and it's good for them. So they say come out and join instead of sit there and human Oh, you're sweet. That was 10 years ago, they are quite far in doing that. So I know
one of the other ones. That's good,
It's good. The Next one is a permission from
be made a night by now and one day.
This word density,
density is becoming his magic trick. So password, If we could
just get people to live inside the smaller apartments, and in total available.
You always see so bad, The
sky is very good for two floors. Because the Windows you have very little connection to the ground.
I know you've done a lot of work, What is the ideal level for building density, we can actually live with this good from it. Please
tell us a little bit The challenges because very many of these cities now that looking only going up and it kind of sold to us as a solution. Because this is
we have to look at various parts of the world In some parts of the world.
It's not so silly to make iOS as another part is completely silly to make Kairos buildings in Britain, in Ireland, in Norway, and Denmark, and in Holland, because we have a lot of Windows the time to bring in the calories from the Atlantic. So we can grow potatoes. So It's always been the end behind big things, they can accelerate the wind three, four times. And that's exactly what we don't want in those city cold climates. So it's completely CD of that book, better than to least look a little bit longer than that was destroyed during the war and was rebuilt with a lot of highlights. Once in water man, I said in a hotel, I looked out the window, it was blowing hot, it was raining, and people were rushing to the station. And then we're fighting to protect them writers, because that was disgusting rains in labor. So they all have rattles under their hands and trying to save the umbrella. Later on the day I went to Amsterdam, which is no and the window straight over Amsterdam, and then the empty the umbrellas were protecting the people and not the people. And so. So it's very important with the diversity. That's one thing Also in all the times that are very heavy shadows from these buildings. But there is a fact that man is basically the horizontal Mmm, We are our biological history, it may have made us a high dimensional animal, We see very little awkward because we never had any software we seen before down because we had snakes. And we see kind of a little
bit out to other side because advertisers
and caregivers and
So we were in we can see lots to the side, but not very much. So we have my soda enema and seeing the shape of the eye, And this and the mistakes inside of the eyes. They're all made for a living. So actually, we have chased this baby giant going off in higher buildings and found that when you're beyond five or six stories, you sort of leave your context with the city. And you're not seeing anymore. But The airline system of that, that we have to take that into account, We can be a mega high density, but we can make these baby times in all the ways. It may be new say I need to be a lot of highlights to intensity. I will say What's wrong parents, their seats, stories all over the place. They have a tremendous density. What's wrong about Barcelona, they can send seven storage, and they have a tremendous density. And I would be very hard sometime and say that the tower insulation architects into two density
If it takes more word work to do it low. But you can do it in many, many cases. This
disguise consoles have so
many people here who have a disability design. Let's start with questions. Hands off too many smartphones we can see.
I hope that you said you will start to say what to say to them agreed. I said I've been scared all time because I had the principal not to say anything.
Before only short while and haven't really had time to study the doing this morning, I came to see some statements about how lucky it is that you can't have cruise ships here.
Which, again,
I see In this world, in this western part of the world, We are going to have a serious
Tourism problem. That's tourists the crowds are ruining one place after the increasing numbers. And I really think that we will completely destroyed whatever is worth looking at on enjoying If we continue to stave off the clouds, which are flocking in these places. And that is linked to the other thing that it is completely crazy with this series with women's from United Nations about the climate to increase these cheap by our workplace so that we can go to Thailand five times a
year.
This is from Fiji on and on sustainable. And we will
as as a as a human
race, we will have to address this senseless use of the wrong the wrong tool to all these. So maybe cutting them down
on Jewish
fly,
go hand in hand. I don't know except you should do it.
But It's very needed. Ladies and gentlemen,
gentlemen, are men and women two
or three? students.
My name is Susan. slope. And I'm very happy to be with you future scenario.
Soon I asked you to speak to the consumer.
slowly growing,
I've worked with different scenarios, looking 30 years I've been
working with some of the urban city projects in Europe.
And I have
a question to you. Because very often people say that, oh, the future solution is some kind of digital currency, That's just a hygiene factor, there is a
need of social
housing, to keep to keep them busy working people to stay there,
longer. We're in our system, vironment. They can't afford to stay in this innovation. But What do you think
you think the future of your
kind of competence, What you're pointing to is a
very serious problem with the MC many
cities, that is a gentrification,
We see seniors being completely ruined,
like Lisbon, where all
these houses and buildings in the same order
to hobby and be and tourism and the Portuguese are pushed out of their seats, that one example
we see in Copenhagen,
where they have actually made around nicely I would say, complete
becomes on the market economy, we have, then when you have a nice place, Then people will start to do there and,
and and
leave the software can come in, the pressure rises, and then the projects will go off. It is a very serious problem. And I can see to two ways out either without a pizza designers who can solve it. But one thing we could do is to make maybe my own eyes, patients were the way ordinary people and everybody would like to live with their children, When throughout their life and people in these places. The other thing of course, more drastic, if we make changes,
as bad became the rich will go away.
So I say
that has to be solved from the government of the city, not only by saying that certain percent of everything built should be affordable, things like that. Quite a few
cities have lack of high
health systems. But they realized that they have to prevent
the moderate incomes to be traced down to the
kind of event I mean, as
I give any reason, And there's a lot of people towards from my age for quitting the CPE seminar moving.
And I'm moving to
rule over St. Louis, areas that don't have the density
of the city. But that more and more people are coming especially that are coming from CPS
and I have certain expectations. I think that what do you think that should be the approach of
governments of regions that should in a
way, I think treats a region
more as a CT
then as Let's talk
about like, California, or Tuscany, or Lisa, where you have a density of
cities that are quite
normal urban.
You know, I just
think that the conditions in the various regions and climate zones of this world, Of course, somewhat different, but the general rule in all this is that we shall be happy that people are moving into cities. Because we have organized the cities much more sustainable, we can organize a waste of data, we can organize, see, reduce costs
data, and we can organize
the services much better and installation and meeting Everything, we can organize beta for the time and for
sustainability
in the cities and we can in the rural areas.
So looking
at this surf world where people are moving into cities in great numbers, there is actually a chance that also
posted lyrics and and
the consumption of all kinds can
be organized and available.
We're going to fit in one final question. The gentleman line on the
backs.
Max,
I'm really impressed and would
like to know what you do to
be so

Anything other to get this meeting

work on this topic.

just before we go to

Something along those lines.
We're going to have sort of a
condensed break, But I think we're coming back actually in the 30 minutes 10
