Duterte's drug war

In this week's instalment of IN THE FIELD, we look at the continuing war in Ukraine, where rebels aligned with Moscow control swathes of the east of the country near the Russian border. Despite dropping out of the headlines in 2016, the guns never fell silent in eastern Ukraine: every night, the Ukrainian army and rebels trade shells and machine gun fire. Inna Shevchenko, the founder of Femen, talks about the impact of the election of Donald Trump, who is seen as close to Russian President Vladimir Putin and could potentially recognise Russia's annexation of Crimea. Journalist Christian Borys also discusses the difficulties with keeping the world – ie. foreign editors – interested in a conflict that has grown increasingly entrenched and complex over the past 24 months.

What does Donald Trump mean for Ukraine?

In this week's instalment of IN THE FIELD, we look at the reasons for the love affair between Egyptian leader General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and Donald Trump, particularly in light of the 'Muslim ban' – touted by the new US president-elect during his campaign – that would effect tens of thousands of Egyptians. Farid Farid, a stringer based in Cairo, speculates that Trump's popularity not just with Sisi but on the Egyptian street is due to the similarities between their strongman political style. We also speak to Nehal ElSherif, an Egyptian journalist who has reported from Cairo since 2011. She discusses perceptions of the media in Egypt and how it has changed in the years since the revolution.
