Nixiwaka Yawanawá is a member of the Yawanawá tribe — a community of indigenous people who live within the Amazon rainforest — on the Acre River Headwaters Indigenous Land. Like many other Amazonian tribes, the Yawanawá rely on the rainforest for their subsistence, and the land holds a very deep spiritual significance, Nixiwaka says. However, their land is being illegally invaded and projects like dams, roads, mining and agriculture are destroying their way of life.
Indigenous people are all over Brazil are speaking out against these changes and fighting for their right to live on their ancestral lands in peace. Nixiwaka asks us to consider why a way of life that is designed to be entirely in tune with its environment and resources is being destroyed by a way of life that isn’t.

Владимир Познер не нуждается в представлении. Однако мало кто знает, что именитый журналист – заядлый автомобилист и любитель долгих путешествий за рулем. Именно по этой причине он стал новым героем нашей рубрики «Большое интервью».
Давид Акопян из Autonews.ru встретился с Владимиром Владимировичем и выяснил о его страсти к марке Jaguar, ностальгии по первым «Жигулям», отношении к электромобилям и проекту Aurus.
А еще Владимир Владимирович рассказал о журналистском долге, общении с Сергеем Доренко и нелюбви к Дональду Трампу.
Герой выпуска – журналист, телеведущий, писатель Владимир Познер. На встречу с мэтром журналистики пришло много детей из журналистских кружков. Их интересовало, какой видится Познеру журналистика будущего, какие ошибки совершают молодые журналисты, как им предстоит приспосабливаться к реальности, в которой интернет конкурирует с телевидением. Владимир Познер не давал никаких футуристических прогнозов, напротив, заверил детей, что, несмотря на технологические прорывы, профессия журналиста остается неизменной в своей основе. По теории Познера, журналистике нельзя научиться, к ней можно только прийти с жизненным опытом. Лучше всего с таким богатым и наполненным невероятными событиями, как у самого Владимира Владимировича. Познер рассказал, как учил русский язык, какие кошмары мучают его во сне, что он сам считает своими достижениями и чего так и не смог себе простить.
