Hey Newsroomers.

I’m excited to share this with you. Many of you have asked to see more of our process which is why we have the BTS vlog here in the Newsroom. But it also has influenced my story telling style. In this video, I left the camera running as we reported this complicated story. You’ll see how it all went down start to finish. I hope it’s helpful in not only seeing our process but also understanding the gravity and intensity of this topic.

Really great job investing in this case, thank you a lot 👏🏻 Unfortunately, this situation applied to most of the countries with lots of oil money: UAE, Kuwait, etc. It's normal to have people working at your home from other poor countries, as you said this government is paying their citizens free money like a salary, so they are raised in a culture where they have free money to spend and so they simply pay under minimum wage workers to do their jobs

Just joined the club xD. When Johnny and his team did all the work on this and the way he get all his resources from different places to help make this happen. It just wow, and make me feel like wanted to be part of his groundcrew on the other side of the world to discover new stuff. xD

Update to this situation : (Nepal) Recently a guy on reddit, wrote a post that his neighbour received their dead husband body who went to qatar six years ago. The worst part was the family had no clue he died there right until they saw his body delivered at their place. The family is devastated.
