zReportage.com Story of the Week #794: TUESDAY July 13, 2021: ‘TOKYO2020: Let The Games Begin!’ by ZUMA Award winning Photographer Joe McNally whose career has taken him on assignment to 70 countries, here McNally gives us a unique preview of TOKYO 2020 and what will likely be one of the most controversial games ever: After a yearlong postponement due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 olympic Games are set to kick off later this summer in Tokyo, despite the ongoing spread of COVID-19 and lingering concerns in Japan. Though the games will be taking place in 2021 due to the postponement, they will continue to be officially branded as the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Public opinion polls in japan charted strong opposition to the event, but at this point the games reportedly cost Japan about 5 billion, making them the most expensive ever. Japan has banned all foreign spectators from attending any of the events, and domestic spectators will be under strict limitations. Against the professional advice of many doctors and public-health officials, the 2020 Olympics will kick off on July 23, 2021. Welcome to ‘TOKYO2020: Let The Games Begin!’

zReportage.com Story of the Week #793: TUESDAY July 6, 2021: ‘The INVISIBLE’ by Pulitzer winning Sacramento Bee Photographer Renee C. Byer:’I’m trying to keep it together’ Kristi Phillips and Anthony Slain, homeless with three children, move between a camper and hotels in Sacramento over several months in 2021. The number of homeless families in Sacramento continues to grow. California’s homeless problem has been out of control for decades. Then came COVID-19. The result has been a deadly combination of medical crisis, human hopelessness and bureaucratic red tape as the state, reeling from the effects of the virus, tries to rebound with a plan for the 160,000 homeless people. That number eclipses any other state, and accounts for half of the country’s entire unsheltered population. Sacramento Mayor Steinberg is ready to take a daring step to combat the homelessness crisis engulfing the region. He wants California’s capital city to be one of the first in the U.S. to establish a legal right to housing and shelter. See the plight of a homeless family in Sacramento. Welcome to ‘The INVISIBLE’
