Why Hollywood could be heading for a new writers' strike

INSIDE THE AMERICAS © FRANCE 24

Production on some of your favourite TV shows could soon come to a halt, after unions representing thousands of TV and film writers voted overwhelmingly in support of a strike. The Writers Guild of America polled their members to gauge support for labour action and the results were unprecedented: almost 98 percent of writers were in favour. FRANCE 24's Culture reporter Olivia Salazar-Winspear tells us more.

Meanwhile, the Colombian journalist Rafael Moreno was killed last October while reporting on corruption in the country. Since his death, a group of journalists have taken up his cause, launching "Project Rafael" as part of a nonprofit group called Forbidden Stories which is dedicated to carrying on the work of journalists who have been killed or threatened. FRANCE 24 is part of this effort. Our Bogota correspondents report on Moreno's work and legacy.

Finally, a young Black man has been shot in the head and arm after ringing a doorbell at the wrong house. The incident happened in the US city of Kansas City, Missouri last week. Sixteen-year-old Ralph Yarl, who is African American, was just trying to pick up his younger brothers from a friend's house when an 84-year-old White homeowner opened fire. The homeowner says he reacted out of fear, in a case that prosecutors say has a racial component.
