My comment:
(a) Only view photos and bar chart. There is no need to read the text.

(b) Regarding the surname of the reporter, patronymic
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patronymic
("In Arabic, the word 'ibn' [click it and Wikipedia gives an example: Ali ibn Amr 'Ali son of Amr'] (or 'bin' * * * is the equivalent of the "-son" suffix discussed above (The prefix ben- is used similarly in Hebrew)")

* Osama bin Laden
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osama_bin_Laden
(section 1 Name: bin means "son of")

His father also had the surname "bin Laden."
(c) Arnhem
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnhem
(section 2 Names of Arnhem)
