__________________________
‘I’m afraid of many things,’ the Italian journalist Roberto Saviano has said. ‘But dying isn’t one of them.’ As the author of the international bestseller 'Gomorrah', which exposed the workings of the Neapolitan crime syndicate the Camorra, Saviano faces the possibility of retribution every day. His book - which has sold 10 million copies around the world - earned Saviano a death sentence from the crime bosses he had exposed. For the past nine years, he has lived under constant armed guard, moving from one secret location to another. None of this has deterred him from waging war on organised crime with words as his only weapon. His reportage has helped secure life sentences for 16 mafia ringleaders.
Roberto Saviano made a rare appearance in the UK when he came to the Intelligence Squared stage. In conversation with BBC foreign correspondent Fergal Keane, Saviano talked about his life in hiding and his beginnings as a reporter on the streets of Naples. He revealed his latest work of investigative reporting, 'Zero Zero Zero', in which he delves into the sprawling network of the global cocaine trade. He traced how the $400 billion a year generated by drugs trafficking filters into the international banking system through money laundering from Wall Street to the City of London. The cocaine trade isn’t just a playground for criminals, Saviano argued. It is part of the structure of our global economy where some of the biggest players - the banks - have profited without facing a single criminal conviction.
it's a hard job for the interpreter: Saviano's language is very articulate using plenty of sayings, expressions that are not easy to translate on the spot, it'd be testing even for the best interpreters.
@@jellyfishi_ if ‘challenging’ was your suggestion for ‘testing’, why? It’s a synonym.
no matter what Gomorrah is one of the best TV shows i watched
Yes, absolutely
Watch the original Italian language film..... Dark like deep space
The moderator guy ruined the question time part. Roberto is a legend! Keep up the good work!
As someone who has visually-taxing work to do, I appreciate having any English audio, stumbling or no. To be fair these are some tough answers to translate.
Is there a version with subtitles? I don't speak Italian but Spanish so I can sort of understand what Saviano is saying and I can tell the translator is often missing the point of what he's trying to say.
I noticed that people are winging about the translator. I think she is great. The topic is complex. She is very smart and can translate the speak of Roberto. Please do not put rubbish to the translator.. it is not easy to translate exactly all the words. Please do not complain about the translator she did a great job. I am an Italian native speaker. Nonetheless the Mafia opic is not all about drug... thera are other topic , for example mafia is running waste business and more....
Exactly Tiziano! Well said. Saviano uses many articulations. Also, when he makes a sentence, as good Italian he is, he says a lot in short. Not easy to report every single thing. For those that complain, just think that she is translating in a theatre and for an online video. Therefore, she has to make it quick but easy to catch. Not easy.
See that even him says at some point: ca**o how long I was ahah
Zero Zero Zero was AWESOME
Excellent very informative
I totally need to get more organised!
Gracias por su trabajo tan importante para el mundo. La droga atrae a personas con poco moral y buenos valores. Todo eso contamina la sociedad de forma negativa. Pero como siempre estarán es necesario legalizar todas las drogas para que la mafia desaparezca.
the interpreter is not that good , too bad because it's a very sensitive and complex topic and also the way Saviano explains and exposes his views and how that world works is just amazing
Was you listening to the conversation? Yama.
Thank you for saying that Jeffrey. My Italian is limited but I have confirmed with Italian friends that she was very poor. I'm from Ireland, it was mentioned in this conversation so my ear's opened up, but the translator didn't even mention Ireland so that was my first hint and it was all downhill from there. She kinda ruined a very interesting interview for me.
jeffrey dahmere such a shitty one i would have done a way better job 😂
Everyone can badmouth an interpreter. Yeah, she wasn't flawless, but she did a fine job.
@@Pastradamus1985 As bilingual Italian-English i can tell that many parts are not even easy to translate properly without compromising the actual meaning of a sentence, specially the parts that are strongly influenced by dialect or are actual slang. Also working on real time translation means also "cutting" parts, but the audience in the room and even here on YT is not difficult to gather Ireland- IrlandA, only 1 letter is missing between the 2.
Cmq coraggiosa a mettersi vicino a Roberto a tradurre 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Why in most videos of him,u dont ad english subs?
because is not a topic that many wants to face either in Italy or abroad. "Mafia" is often associated with a flkloristic stuff that does not exists out of italian borders, a phonomenon good to make movies. Saviano has shown in many occasion that is not folklore or mere literature stuff, therefore part of the system ( as the society in general) simply is trying to shut it down because exposing how far mafia has gon would put lots of very high enviroments in troubles. In the end, mafia is not just the shooting and the Godfather movie, is a parallel culture that grows side by side with the good part of society, it can be defined as a whole " civilasation" that exists under the radar and must stay under the radar. Saviano is living escorted by the forces exactly because he made the type of noise that organized crime does NOT want. :(
The lawyer Juan branco compare the hacker Rui Pinto to Roberto saviano
vorrei il numero dell'interprete per un business meeting...garanzia di successo!
Spero to non sia sarcastico, perche' la traduttrice e' proprio brava. E' veramente difficile tradurre parola per parola tutto quelleo che dice Roberto. hai mai provato a pensare a tradurre ????
The translator forgets too many details, better to choose a translator that is interested to this sort of subject, I have the impression she is not really a bad translator, just trying to translate a subject which is not her favorite hence not accustomed with.
No one can remember sentences that long and also translate them accurately. Interpreters typically translate in real-time, but this exercise of memory is usually not required. She did an excellent job, her interest in the subject has nothing to do with it. Your criticism is unfair and completely uncalled for.
Ma non ci sta l'esame d'inglese a filosofia 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Italo .. plyss
Amore che panzetta 😍
They are exposing what? The truth?
What happened in this debate is surreal; I don't speak english yet I understood the wrong translations and (much more important) the meaning of many concepts who her lost; I understand the emotion and the difficulty of live translation but this is not the right way to work.
I don't want to be too rude with the translator and the fault it's for me of people who organized but in any case it should be better prepared (or realize that she is unable to do that job).
Hi mate, I am an Italian background person.... I think that the translator did a great job. It is very hard to understand different languages. We all have to work hard as it is not our favorite language they are speaking. I understand Italian Language and less English. I think that the translator did a great job.
Clearly you used a translation site for this comment, which is hilarious considering you claim to have picked up on everything the translator failed to reproduce in the talk despite not knowing English. If you truly could pick up on such things you’d have realized your comment isn’t much better than alphabet soup. The translator had a very difficult task and overall did a fine job.
@@zacharysambell9280 I wrote that my English is bad, so of course I used Google, but I speak Italian and I can assure you that much of the (deep) meaning Saviano expressed was lost in English.
If you know someone who speaks Italian, you can show him the video and ask what he thinks on the translation (I say he would agree with me).
Not to mention that, Google or not, I wrote I understood well how hard her work and the situation was (translating live in a theatre), in fact I blamed the organisation more than her.
I'm so sorry for my English and for writing a (polite) critical comment, I hope you can understand my new alphabet soup. 🍺
Proprio superflua
The translator is doing a bad job. Why does't anybody subtitles the talk in english. If you want that many people understand the problem do something about subtitling.
I do agree with you
...but the society is thinking in general... There are a blind guy who can hear!!!
While I don't agree with you, I think iq2 should open this video up for a community eng sub.

PANAMA PAPERS? my www.i-mf.co MEDIA INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION which I registered in malta, =registered it as a legal entity, which was stolen by PANAMA 's MOSSACK FONSECA Malta, along with my identity, my home, etc.....
protected criminal networks between UK/Malta also include a
maltese man who posed as the UK's government head of Legal Department in my
court claim,where he joked with the judge and struck out my claim!WHAT KIND OF
LAW IS THIS?
I've been hacked by corrupt malta gov staff for decades,who
stole my 4 commercial projects including the introduction of the sale of
maltese citizenship/the intro of AIFMD+ISLE OF MTV+WOMAD annual events-WHAT
WOULD YOU DO if it happened to you?they even bribe UK Judges
since it's legal for UK Courts to have filming in all
courts via CCTV installed, why is it that this footage can be used as evidence
for the courts, yet abused victims like me, abused by judges who either do not
know the UK RULE OF LAW, or they're corrupt?-so why doesn't the UK Parliament
allow filming of all court claims by the very claimants who bring corruption
claims from within the court system itself, who have even sent me threatening
letters to stop me from placing my due financial remedy at the Holborn family
court London>
Would you like to
include the corruption within my 16 ongoing litigant in person court claims
which include twice attempted murder,theft of home,savings, jewellery-the most
recent case on 16th October 2018
just because a man is gay, it does not make him superior to any other
gender or person-than why is it that a network of gays/paedophiles, who
manipulate and bribe judges, continue to abuse the UK RULE OF LAW audaciously
where even permitting an imposter, a maltese man, who posed as the head of the
UK's government's Head of Legal department in my recent mayor & city county
court London on 9th march 2018, whilst joking with the sitting judge and than
striking out my court claim!-since it's legal for UK Courts to have

Povera traduttrice, amore lo capiscono anche se parla in italiano 😍😍😍😍🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅
Solo un gruppo di italiani era nell'audience, il resto non lo avrebbe capito.
1:02:18 "One of the most civilised countries in the world" The crap these people come out with.
You need to make an effort to understand before open your mouth... mate
Roberto Saviano should train Krav Maga.
Daniel Wallin
He should hire Roy Elghanaian as bodyguard or trainer.
Krav Maga is a useless non sense invented by money hungry Jews....Krav Maga did not save them from the mighty Hebzbullah
Pashtun Pashtun
It is very effective against neo nazis.
Daniel
KAPAP could be superior to Krav Maga.
You really think... that when mobsters are coming to kill Saviano will be enough Krav Maga, israeli bodyguards, or something like this?
the interpreter is a very disaster, she forget words and do not translate as well
the interpreter is good, definitely not a disaster.
Hai mai provato a tradurre dal vivo???....PROVA!!!...
sempre pessimo
dodotheking1990 sempre stupido
Sempre idiota tu!
