An interview with Maria Ressa, a journalist in the Philippines. Ressa details the oppressive regime of President Rodrigo Duterte that threatens violence against the press and creates a constant sense of danger. Ressa was named the Time magazine person of the year for her reporting on Duterte’s aggressive drug war, under threats of prison and violence. She has been arrested twice. Ressa says she will not be intimidated out of her battle for truth in the Philippines. Salvador Panelo, a presidential spokesman claims that criticisms of Duterte’s drug war are exaggerated. Ressa’s website has reported Duterte’s administration has killed over 20,000 people in the drug war, while the administration claim only 5,000. In the last 3 years, a dozen journalists in the Philippines have been shot or beaten to death, and Ressa has been dismissed as “fake news” by Duterte. Includes an interview with Salvador Panelo, a spokesman for Duterte.

With Saddam Hussein gone, North Korea's Kim Jong-il is regarded as the world's most dangerous man. Millions have died of famine and dissidents are sent to labour camps or executed. Now Kim says that he has nuclear weapons - and that he's prepared to sell them to whoever will pay his price. George Bush put North Korea on the 'Axis of Evil' shortlist, but is Kim really plotting to destroy the planet or is the nickname 'Dr Evil' indicative of nothing more than a battle of words in the Cold War's last frontier? Correspondent charts Kim's progress from lazy student through terrorist mastermind to tough-talking nuclear brinksman.

Why do so many Muslims hate the United States? What has America done to alienate so many people in the Muslim world? Imran Khan, a Pakistani celebrity cricket player turned politician, tries to answer these questions in this provocative documentary filmed in locations throughout Pakistan. He examines the political, social and economic causes of the schism between the Islamic world and the West. The film takes us to Islamabad's Women's College, where the students are mainly from privileged, middle class backgrounds. But even here, the underlying feeling is that the United States only cares or acts when its own people are at risk and that many American policies are determined on racial grounds against "black or brown people". In Peshawar, anti-war demonstrators believe that the war on Afghanistan following September 11th, was not justified because the West did not provide proof of the Taliban's culpability. In this part of the world, the spectre of the IMF looms large. Khan notes that as the services provided by the Pakistani government diminish under the pressure of its debts, the vacuum created has been filled by others. The poor turn to religious schools, often breeding grounds for a more intolerant version of Islam. Unsurprisingly, their influence is strongest where poverty is most pronounced. This fascinating and highly resonant report goes a long way towards explaining the problematic nature of the relationship between Islam and the West. It is a schism that developed long before the bombing of Afghanistan, and is likely to take even longer to heal. College Adult

UNIVERSAL NEWSPAPER NEWSREEL VOLUME V NUMBER 126
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S EMERGENCY BANK BILL PASSED BY CONGRESS
WASHINGTON, D. C. -- First sound pictures of the epochal opening of the special session of the Seventy-third Congress, the elevation of Representative Henry T. Rainey of Illinois to the Speaker's Chair, the reading of President Roosevelt's dramatic message calling for immediate banking legislation, and striking scenes of the President as he signs the resulting banking bill less than eight hours after his call for action to relieve the financial crisis.
Meanwhile, in all parts of the country, philosophical citizens cheerfully make the best of the situation and transact business on a "credit and carry" basis, while "barter marts" grow and flourish.
KIDS AND MUTT PALS TRY FOR CHAMP TITLE IN ANNUAL DOG DERBY
BIG PINES, Cal. -- Hectic scenes mark the running of the 1933 Junior "Mushing" race, with fifteen youngsters and their four-footed companions, of widely assorted breeds, in a 1 1/2-mile struggle with small sleds through the snow-clad forest.
SHANTIES ON ICE LET FANS SCOFF AT COLD AND FISH IN COMFORT

CELEBRATE ARRIVAL OF SPRINGTIME IN QUAINT CEREMONIAL PAGEANT

PRESIDENT ASKS NATION FOR FULL CONFIDENCE IN HIS RECOVERY PLAN
WASHINGTON, D. C.--In a stirring personal appeal to the rank and file of American citizens, the new Chief Executive gives a clear and simple explanation of the hectic financial events of the day, telling the reasons for the bank holiday and the currency legislation in plain and straight forward language, and calling for continued trust and support by the people in his battle to restore the soundness of the country's money and banking system.
The most remarkable message ever spoken by a President to the people. Basic facts and data on the workings of our financial institutions. The Prophet of the New Deal explains the wherefores of the new bank Commandments.
WILLIAM GREEN CALLS UNION MEN TO SUPPORT OF ROOSEVELT IN CRISIS
NEW YORK, N. Y.--The head of the great American Federation of Labor, in a forceful message to the workers of the nation, strongly urges all to have complete faith in the President of the United States and to give their wholehearted co-operation and backing to the Administration's plans for the country's financial and economic recovery.
120 DEAD, 5000 HURT AS 'QUAKE WRECKS WEST COAST CITIES
LONG BEACH, Cal.--Appalling scenes of the holocaust which laid low a score of flourishing Pacific Coast communities, killing or maiming thousands, demolishing entire towns and rolling up property damages of almost $50,000,000.
The worst cataclysm on American soil in almost 30 years, the earthquake consisted of recurring shocks over a period of two days, with many violent tremors which shattered buildings and homes, turning peaceful and progressive business and residence districts into piles of debris under which many hapless victims lay entombed. Indescribable scenes of tragedy and confusion are on every hand.
Hundreds of thousands are homeless, many of them with nothing remaining of their domiciles but piles of brick or splintered wood. Many others, fearful of their rocking, swaying residences, are living a nomadic life in the open, depending upon relief agencies for food and covering.
Amazing efficiency by the local agencies and by the State and Federal Governments prevents greater loss of life and greater misery and suffering from exposure. While sailors from the U. S. fleet and various veteran organizations police the stricken area, Army and National Guard units set up emergency kitchens and supply food and blankets to the refugees.
Even while the tremors still continue, reconstruction begins with a vim, dangerous walls being pulled down and debris cleaned from the streets.
One of the worst tragedies in American history, with never-to-be-forgotten vistas of wreckage and demolition.
