Thomas Peter - Reuters - China (& Ukraine)

<p>Russia invaded Ukraine and the next day Thomas Peter was crossing the border from Poland to cover the war. Tom, a Reuters photographer, thought he understood Russia after spending his 20s living in the country. But little could prepare him for the indiscriminate brutality he saw there. He’ll also talk about his childhood in Soviet East Germany, covering the early days of COVID-19 near its epicenter in China and spending a week in a Japanese jail.</p> <p>Countries featured: Germany, UK, Russia, Ukraine, Japan, China</p> <p>Publications featured: Reuters</p> <p> </p> <p>Here are links to some of the things we talked about:</p> <p>Tom’s Wider Image page - <a href='https://reut.rs/3Qhnf5E'>https://reut.rs/3Qhnf5E</a></p> <p>His Instagram account - <a href='https://bit.ly/3RhWHTo'>https://bit.ly/3RhWHTo</a></p> <p>His story about Russian protest group Voina - <a href='https://reut.rs/3RmVrhW'>https://reut.rs/3RmVrhW</a></p> <p>His photos of Russian tightrope walkers - <a href='https://reut.rs/3KK18Ui'>https://reut.rs/3KK18Ui</a></p> <p>His photos of Chinese escaping COVID-19 epicenter - <a href='https://reut.rs/3Ba060U'>https://reut.rs/3Ba060U</a></p> <p>Some of his Ukraine photos - <a href='https://bit.ly/3TRL4UW'>https://bit.ly/3TRL4UW</a></p> <p>His photo essay on chaotic Hong Kong protests - <a href='https://reut.rs/3RhZsUK'>https://reut.rs/3RhZsUK</a></p> <p>His Wider Image on young Hong Kong democrats - <a href='https://reut.rs/3KOsg4D'>https://reut.rs/3KOsg4D</a></p> <p>His photo essay on economic pressures in Hong Kong - <a href='https://reut.rs/3RyOxFN'>https://reut.rs/3RyOxFN</a></p> <p>His Wider Image on Mongolian reindeer herders - <a href='https://reut.rs/3Rwmqag'>https://reut.rs/3Rwmqag</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Follow us on Twitter <a href='https://twitter.com/foreignpod'>@foreignpod</a> or on Facebook at <a href='https://www.facebook.com/foreignpod'>facebook.com/foreignpod</a></p> <p>Music: <a href='https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Makaih_Beats/fake-love/lovechances-makaihcom/'>LoveChances (makaih.com)<
