zReportage.com Story of the Week #791: TUESDAY June 22, 2021: ‘ROMANIA Gateway to Europe’ by Le Pictorium photographer Michael Bunel who has spent 10 years covering the migrant crisis in Europe: To get around the wall erected by the government of Hungarian President Viktor Orban, exiles wishing to access Europe are trying their luck, by passing through Romania. Every night, small groups try to slip through the cracks set up by the Romanian authorities. The journeys range from 2 to 15 kilometers depending on the path taken, through woods and fields under cover of darkness. The exiles living in abandoned houses in the village of Majdan tirelessly try to cross the border. Some of them have attempted to cross more than 50 times but hope remains high as they ‘Make The Game’ as they call it. Until recently most migrants crossing into Europe through the Balkan region went directly from Serbia to Hungary, not through Romania. Since then however, the borders into Croatia and Hungary, which are now heavily policed and fortified with razor-wire, have become largely impenetrable, and many believe that Romania is a better option. Welcome to ‘ROMANIA Gateway to Europe’

zReportage.com Story of the Week #790: TUESDAY June 15, 2021: ‘TARGETED’ by Tampa Bay Times investigative reporters Kathleen McGrory and Neil Bedi wins the 2021 Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting: Florida’s Pasco County sheriff Chris Nocco took office in 2011 with a bold plan: to create a cutting-edge intelligence program that could stop crime before it happened. What he actually built was a system to continuously monitor and harass Pasco County residents, a Tampa Bay Times investigation has found. First the Sheriff’s Office generates lists of people it considers likely to break the law, based on arrest histories, then sends deputies to find and interrogate anyone whose name appears, often without probable cause, a search warrant or evidence of a specific crime. They swarm homes in the middle of the night, waking families and embarrassing people in front of their neighbors. In just five years, Nocco’s signature program has ensnared almost 1,000 people, with at least 1 in 10 were younger than 18. Some of the young people were labeled targets despite having only one or two arrests. One former deputy described the directive ‘Make their lives miserable until they move or sue.’ Welcome to: ‘TARGETED’

Fashionable woman walk past large light box advertising delayed premier of Chinese Mainland’s War Movie THE EIGHT HUNDRED in Hong Kong, an epical photo play based on the historical fact of Republic of China’s tough resistance against invading Japanese Army and total sacrifice of 800 remaining soldiers who fought at the last stand resisting the invading Japanese Force during 1937 BATTLE OF SHANGHAI. The war epic, THE EIGHT HUNDRED was originally scheduled for national premier in July 2019, but shortly before the premier in June 2019, Chinese Communist Party’s Department of Propaganda announced that the MOVIE have encountered certain ‘technical problem’ and therefore unable to meet the original scheduled date of national premier. Many believe that CCP tried to downplay heroic episode ( a legend ) of National Party Army’s tough resistance against invading Japanese Army during the BATTLE OF SHANGHAI in 1937. Political censorship on Chinese Mainland is becoming much tighter under the rule of Xi Jin-ping’s Regime seeking to unify ideology so as to stabilize continued authoritarian rule of Chinese Communist Party and Xi Jin-ping’s dictatorship.
