In my own field of investigative journalism,

And if you’re trying to track a dictator’s assets, for example, Hosni Mubarak, you know,

he’s just funneling out cash from his country when he knows he’s in trouble,
当他觉得自己有危险了，他就从自己的国家输送现金，
and what you want to do to investigate that is,

you need to have access to all of the world’s, as many as you can, companies’ house registrations databases.

you know, his relatives, his friends, the head of his security services.
找到他的家属，他的朋友，他的安全服务主管。
You can try and find out how he’s moving out assets from that country.
你可以清楚看到他正在从那个国家转移资金。
记者希瑟·布鲁克说，我们的领导人应当是可靠的。布鲁克揭露了英国国会财政支出，从而引发了2009年一起重要的政治丑闻。她强烈要求我们通过诸如信息寻求自由之类的平台来向领导人发问，并且最终得到答案。
