2:30 am
i saw you at the side, i expect the government and the un to provide us with shelter, water medicine or somewhere to live so that all these people can be safe or not. the people have bygone a waiting for that desperately needed help to arrive. kindly tell them, hey, i'll just see it. for the reins of forgotten flash floods. i'm line slides and indonesia is problems of west some opera. at least 31 people have died, including children. dozens are still missing. one major road was partially washed away, making rescue operations difficult. millions of people in chad struggling to find enough to eat because of high food prices. climate change as well as rising energy costs to play a role in creating the process. chad is rich and results is but one of the poorest countries in the world document, it just reports on the capital in jamaica. food in chad has become so expensive that families are forced direction. what they eat in markets across the capital produce is plenty, but buyers are not. how are them keep here to see what she could afford?
2:31 am
the full $36.00 us cents would buy you 2 cups of beans, but now that are to get to one cause. she says that family must decide between eating to amuse or buying less nutritious for a trader. say that on to play the best we buy from farm is as a high price add to that the cost of transportation because of bad roads. and rising energy costs for prizes was sharply here and tried with neighboring nigeria, restricted as other practices like high fuel costs. climate change on the presence of more than 600000. so that is of interest device compare disease of what little pool is about the united nations agency, save the situation is desperate as we have already too many young people in chug chug sales people on the tv on nutrition it's uh,
2:32 am
i think the failed force times in the last decade that we have such, such an issue with food insecurity, the next 3 months, which 8 organizations describe us the lean months. i expect it to be the most difficult for people and chub, dependent on food assistance. how many degrees i would use either jemina. alright, that's it for me. dire in jordan for now you can find more information on the website. i'll just come there is the news continue. so now just so you're off to the listing post. spectrum's been so much in the next generation in the united states. they're not happy with what is happening and they're not happy with the u. s. foreign policy. and that's why they're trying to make their voices heard. the administrators of each university really have
2:33 am
a choice to either escalate and call in police and be confrontational, or to actually listen to what their concerns are. city stream of people being arrested, placed in the zip tie and cops and taken away many of the purchases we've talked to have said they will continue protesting until their demands are met. a band algebra get shut down in is really just as this really forces move into a rough is equally as prime minister, georgia maloney out to turn state on television in this state controlled television and halfway through in the a 6 week long election process. we examined the narratives, both in the mainstream media and on the sofa. the this past week offered a brief moment of hope for the approximately one point. 5000000 palestinians
2:34 am
tracked in rough. supposedly the last safe space for civilians in garza moss had accept the terms of a ceasefire agreement. it looked like lives would be safe. but on tuesday, prime minister benjamin netanyahu said the proposal fell short of israel's key demands. and now and a salt on rafa is underway. coinciding with all of this has been the closure of alger 0 is news operation in israel. our news coverage, tv, broadcast and website are all blocked there. that measure may shield is released at least temporarily, from the fours that are being inflicted on rough. uh, but it will not stop this network from covering the story. what it does signal to the world though, and then nothing. yeah. who governments allies abroad is that is real, so called democracy is not what it's cracked up. this really is a try to search for tray this kind of like an end game. this is sort of the last
2:35 am
bastion city and the gods strip, where they are claiming that the military operations is not complete until the army goes in with the troops to what they scrub, the dismantling masses, remaining, and destructive. the reality in practice of this is that the broadwell file is right now, the only home for palestine, your life, and society, and refuge for people have been displaced for the past 7 months from the northern strip all the way down to this. so rough thought was supposed to be the red line that israel would not cross its forces, have carouse around $1500000.00 palestinians say more than half the surviving population after 7 months of punishing civilians with bombs and bullets. you can add another bit trail to the mix, having advised those civilians to take refuge that the nothing. yeah. who government now cause rough or the last strong hold of home office, and within a day of rejecting a ceasefire that her most had agreed to that would have freed every remaining is
2:36 am
really hostage. nothin yahoo! sent in the troops for reasons that may be far more political than strategic. so his desire to continue this genocide is both because he's genocide, but also because he is a survivalist and he wants to make sure that he remains in office. the bigger issue is that it seems to me that there are no red line back in march. we heard president biden say, this red lines that are to cross as a gift. you cannot have 30000 more palestinians debt. and then we very quickly back track from that, they've made a mockery out of the international legal system as we know it, they've made a mockery out of out of the genocide convention and the fact that nothing. yeah. who continues to be able to do whatever he wants to do, just shows you how to cite will he is and how satisfied will the united states as well. of the 4 interviews getting this piece,
2:37 am
you will notice that only one of them is via webcam. the one we did in israel, we have no choice given that on the eve of going into rock 5 and nothing yahoo government band alger 0 from the is really airwaves. and from reporting from there in announcing the police raids on algebra as officers, israel's communications minister called the net work, a threat to is really security because it broadcast statements issued by from us what alger 0 really is. is it clear and ever present danger to the is really narrative. it has the journal is on the ground in gaza, documenting the story. the way most international news outlets cannot, since they have been locked out by israel wester, news outlasts, forced to cover gaza at a distance have reported on the is really track down on al jazeera. but in an industry that usually stands up for its own. there has been
2:38 am
a noticeable lack of solidarity there outages here. i think many people, if, if they do what you would see it as some kind of propaganda, they would say the news media outside of israel is the captive in a way to this pro israel narrative. and they don't consider, i'll just 0 as one of their own. so i'll just 0 is other to because it is funded by kata. nits in yahoo is attacked potter, even though it's instrumental in mediating for a ceasefire. so that's why there is hardly a ripple of descent among foreign media, but those of us who need that diverse view of what's happening in the middle east and know that that is false. the notion that by broadcasting the statements of come us, we're interviewing people that the israelis are designating as terrorist is supporting . terrorism means that you don't actually believe in real journalism,
2:39 am
and that's how it and then we'll talk about a sofie. they will some of them then of good if you, how much did you say on inputs? so, you know, i follow the telegram feeds of the old custom brigades, the, the armed waiting a from us. and because i follow that feed, in addition to israeli government feeds, i have a much more nuanced picture of what has happened on the ground. the fact is that what they don't like about alda 0 is coverage, is that it has the audacity to contradict the is really narrative or to simply do the job of journalism. well, me is really military and politicians on like have been making these claims for some time. they have not been providing the evidence needed to support them. it's not that al jazeera is advocating colossus position. it's that al jazeera is allowing people to make up their own mind, including benjamin netanyahu, whose own minister of justice, who, according to reports into,
2:40 am
is really newspapers relies on out just it was coverage of gosh b as really, authorities would do better to focus on their own airwaves, the same government, the just shut down a news network for quote, endangering is really soldiers has no issues when a senior official in the ruling the crude party goes into and is really new studio talks about palestinian civilians in gaza and comes out with this amount and some of the been people i've been some of the goodness. how old will i will, but i will have to visit when you live here. seen those types of clips is actually a daily occurrence. this, this is not an operation. we see almost daily politicians make these making these genocidal statements on television. we hear them on radio in print, it happens all the time. we hear not just commentators, but sometimes the journalists themselves making these exact same statements. so how
2:41 am
much they came in of that team? how can we push on the helping push a gym to pull them? first of all, to leave, to learn with a home in the israel is a country that is in genocide or fever. and the reason that they don't want networks, lakeesha theater here is because they don't want anybody covering the genocidal fever that has taken shape inside his room. and to look at is really media from the beginning of the war. it's basically being a company in support of the war. there is this kind of popular consent for creating this kind of singular hedge, a monic narrative for everyone to believe in, to allow the government and the army to do whatever it needs to send. the coverage is obviously not showing as early as what is happening to postings on the ground, the number of people who were being killed any testimonies of how that was being waged when that is your media environments. then you having us getting society that is not able to confront the realities of what their country is. waging
2:42 am
a society that likes to describe itself as a democracy, the only one in the middle east, israel's the only true democracy in this region that isn't narrative, israel's government constantly puts out there and it resonates with its media allies abroad who venerate israel's democracy regardless of the crimes against humanity, but it commands that you're not homeless. israel is a democracy and a as a jewish state, as supports and, and believes in every life matter against. but since when have a part, hard states been considered to democracies just because they hold elections and what kind of democracy locks the global media out of a war zone that is become a slaughter house for civilians kills journalists. they're at an unprecedented rate . and then bands, one of the only news channels that has its own reporters in gaza,
2:43 am
survivors risking their lives to get the story. yeah, we need to talk about that term. democracy is real calls itself a democracy. it's citizens think of itself as a democracy, but it isn't a democracy at all. you could call it f knock or c with superior rights to is really jews. you could call it a secrecy because it's captive to the religious elements and religious leaders. and also the ministers that bring a, a far right, jewish interpretation of a jewish law into the thing is really secular context. so this is not a democracy that we're talking about. perhaps nothing unmasks that in a more powerful way. then that state which is supposedly the only democracy in the
2:44 am
middle east waging a genocidal war of extermination against the palestinians while simultaneously trying to shut down the single most important network that is broadcasting the other side of the barrel of the is rarely gone. that is being pointed at the people of palestine and fired non stop for 7 straight months to the tune of almost 35000 and confirm that it serves as a very powerful symbol of a narrative based entirely on lies that somehow there's some justifiable aspect to any of the journalists at least public broadcast or right have gone on. stripe, salaries and working conditions are part of it. the bigger issue is political interference. and the politician they accuse of that is prime minister georgia.
2:45 am
maloney tara from alpha is here with which on this right stage woke out of what they use in cold, suffocates, and control by george, i'm a nineties administration, and the time it's the time the network into quite a mouthpiece for the government to join this union says it wants to stop political appointments, and key editorial roles is what is the censoring of voices and stories that do not fit with the routing code additions fall, right. agenda. it's common for governments and it's the to a point loyalist to talk jobs, right. but since she took office in 2022, my knowing these perceived interference in the broad costa has led some high profile preventive manages to quits. the slightest show down between rise stuff and the government goes back to april 25th. it's an eve liberation day when a permanent olsa, antonio square dotsie, wish federal to deliver an anti fascist monologue. but just hours before the show was meant to add, scratchy, was informed by right,
2:46 am
that his appearance had been cancelled for the newspaper. louder appropriate lights revealed what quote, editorial reasons. scratchings words were eventually read out by a host at the right setting. i bought toner and an act of sort of diety, separated. insignificant feel. quando consists of the from 5 little they didn't even the studies story cheap. yet because she didn't have to hold up, i really need to do it all g got the, let's walk on the mail for, she's the building. and so the appraisal is found, say that they said i did seem to think that they thought that a gene that could stick with sending to you, but a send some i, they put the ad and it's showing, see, i mean, let's put in stuff a, she stuff full, screwed out to, and many other than it today. the whole effect was the plates an act of censorship . one that fits into why the pots in for maloney of government, which is trying to re make the media as well as the cultural institutions in its own political image. john, this, the public broadcast, speaking off the record,
2:47 am
say that for this government, right, the symbol of the circled dictatorship of the left. they think if they control the media, they will change the cultural narrative intensity. thank start. india is halfway through an election process of voting. marathon the last 6 weeks calling and election historic is a bit of a cliche, but this one really does qualify. should the ruling b, j. p and prime minister and arrange remote a when it would be the 1st indian government to win elections back to back to back with 3 terms in office. so the b j. p is throwing all it can at this campaign. modi's face is everywhere. there's been an avalanche of b, j. p advertising and then there are in the, as mainstream media outlets, the over whelming majority of which are pro modi for potential spanner in the works is the messaging from a collection of youtube or is putting out, explain, or is critiques and interviews. or questioning the b j piece,
2:48 am
otherwise dominant narrative, many or journalists who gave up mainstream news rooms for places in the online ecosystem are cash banner g is one of them. he has $4000000.00 followers, and his videos are racking up to the stage the headquarters got the heck it reaction of the novel monday on and finding out that it's an example of data. by the way, that's how they pulled. i pulled up. i've had all the got the search got to get points and they go to see about how may be sort of been out there are cash buy energy joins us now from new delhi, mr. banner g. on the surface. the selection looks like a done deal. give us a sense of what no rent remote is appeal to the indian electric is built on where to begin with. i wouldn't say that it's all done invested in getting addictions that tend to be remarkably unpredictable. why movie is definitely a far ahead. these change very rapidly in politics, you'll see the prime minister a lot less confident. you'll see him going back to his board tricks. so therefore,
2:49 am
i wouldn't say it's done and dusted a lot of movies. tom good is my appeal comes from the fact is that people are really buying themselves attracted to this man who seems to be in control with i don't know what to use, whether the data suggest that it's a separate issue. this is politics. so that is the job which unfortunately for the opposition, no one comes even close to. so those people who are not very happy with that in the body at this point of time, they're not happy. maybe what has happened 10 years after his daughter spying? he's the only guy that owns the work for among the people unhappy with motives rule is the country's largest minority. it's muslim population over the years mostly has left some of the ugly talk to his proxies on that. but recently in this campaign, he's been a little bit more vocal and some of the things he's come out with, like this next, that sound
2:50 am
a little bit dangerous little. so now the number 9 jobs were not on a board. yeah. so how do you use, explain this change of tak by mode even the fact he's a little more direct these days. that is the question. if there was one question to be honest with regardless of who wins or loses this election. the one question to ask is, what really happened? remember, as you pointed out, that in the movie himself doesn't know the dog whistling he has enough and more people to do that. obviously, some brazen calls to violence, some hints off genocide being dropped to you. and then suddenly after the 1st phase of collection, you'll see this man come back into his board. roots angry is getting a socket that did these do some, but the plot my la hot a minority ma my job, most of them on a guy somewhere down the line. the pgp has understood that the campaign off
2:51 am
progress, the india is on the right track. india has developed, people have more money, is not really going to work. and therefore hawking back to the fios psychosis of the people. the majority of us has minority, 80 percent of us as 20 percent of these 20 percent. i'm going to expand, they're going to take over your space, you'll put it into the space. they will become a, the prime minister, etc, etc. the side, the truth here is that this, that because they will fear that in the movie, it has all be as you did him good elect orders out so, so what he's doing, he's doing fully aware of what he is doing and it may just work also for him, we cannot discuss politics in india without talking about the mainstream media you used to work in that's spear. you've since gone independent. talk to us about how media in india has been transformed in the period of no render modi's rule. when i
2:52 am
joined television media in 2004, 2005, and there was a total of new television channels that were coming in database and was on a high, it was the aspiration of job to be in. i'm, i think my styles that i put in 2012 because what has happened, doctor 2014 is that the gradual decal, but of mainstream media has happened uh by the b j. b. and that is a terminology also that is used for the mainstream media in india, which is called go. the media is basically a media that sits in the lapse of those in power. and what has happened is that that media has really allowed the body to take on a force which is much larger than him. so you can imagine him as a see me off of a family where his decision should not be criticized. so no idea that he can come up with can be a bad idea the if the idea is a good idea and if it feels it's it's, it's the implementation. so the media is really has allowed for the dumbing down of
2:53 am
the political discourse and questioning of the opposition rather than the questioning of the government in power. where you flag the mainstream media space you've succeeded, you know, have one of the country's most popular youtube channels as a youtube or does pressure still land on you in some ways walk us through that world. so there are 2 levels of pressure. i think the easier level of pressure is the direct level of pressure. so for example, trolling in india is an industry where you have people literally sitting on rules and rolls of computer and doing work for a particular party. and of course, the be just be really have the largest online social presence and it's saying anything against the establishment will really result in volume and us and really toxic abuse. then comes the soft pressure in terms of people reaching out to you, telling you separately, what are your doing?
2:54 am
why do you just asking questions to the government? why don't you ask questions to the opposition and, and, and some of the headings would be dropped. you'll be, is that don't watch out. you may have trouble coming you a week. so that's a feel that one lives in. i mean somebody asks me, what's your business plan? i jokingly tell them. it's to stay out of prison. that's the plan. on the was off the pressure in the attic, but i showed that's going to come in very soon, but kind of the regulations that are being brought into effect already. you have the new i t degradations, which basically didn't allow the government to put it on any youtube channel to handle based on national security interest. on top of that, you have a new broadcast bill, which would basically give the government a lot more bibles over even youtube channels if the government or any of the citizens that aren't happy with any to board that we do big and right to us. and we are duty bound to alonzo within 24 hours. so technically they can betty us and people worked with 500 complaints on a day. it's using the law against the people were trying to maintain the
2:55 am
constitution, trying to speak out for laws and values. and using that by the same law against them. when we discuss politics and india, we do tend to let audiences off the hook. we don't really hold audiences accountable for the material that they seem so ready and eager to consume. what has the success of moti and the b j p revealed about how gullible or perhaps ideologically right, when indian news audiences really are due by that. so um that's one of the saddest spots actually. um i, i come from a generation of television that was dejan. anything. then i come from this last 10 years of watching television and i always had seen um, uh, the silent uh spect data view. uh, well, uh, no use to say what is going on and doing television. oh, this noise, this heat that is going on in the new television. i had an opportunity of watching
2:56 am
something else. i would have the prime minister has come late. i'm remarkable clarity on issues. it's only often between independent journalism. dwayne, the youtube channel, is off to so many as one gets to understand as those logistics uses. nobody wants to watch, send somebody new mazda. nobody wants to watch just the fact that the fact is that while the government is specializing, mainstream media owning mainstream media, people also love watching this kind of viral bigoted content. otherwise, these channels would have gone out of business, what the mainstream media of what the government has been able to do is to tap into that deep. we're going to be good to be that people have within them exploited enable it any more than people to go ahead and then speak out what was inside them that hot. so the fuel cycle is this is being played phone on and this election bids show us just how much fuel you can inject and to be. but our cash bonner,
2:57 am
to thank you so much for taking the time and walk us through the politics and the coverage of the indian election. thank you for speaking to us today. here at the listening part. thanks for having the old. and finally, last week, we reported on the campus protest movement in the us, including at columbia university in new york, where students and faculty were demonstrating against israel's were on gossip. that same school hands out pulitzer prizes, one of the most prestigious awards in american journalism. and when it announced its list of winners this past week, one organization stuck out the award for international reporting went to the new york times for its quote, wide ranging and regulatory coverage of a mazda is a tax on october 7th. and israel's devastating response. the paper one, despite multiple issues, the audiences have raised over the times as coverage of gaza. questions over terminology, emphasis and an institutional pro israel bias typified by
2:58 am
a now in the tory s investigation, but accused of loss of using systemic rape on october 7th. co written by a former is really intelligence officer with 0 journalistic experience. that article was thoroughly debunked and got all kinds of pushed back in the times is own newsroom. but that's award winning journalism in america these days. we'll see you next time here at the us, me post the subset of missed the keta. yeah. and he just the truth is the price is high for a family of palestinian active as so peacefully protected the community from is brady secular expansion in the occupied westbank for decades. they just put the city for that day on. oh i see. this is the story the south trying to see them
2:59 am
moving them some of the on the fire on it just the you know, you will see the caught a duty in a grove using fruits. p, use a caught to contribute to improving the lives of thousands of projects except the car. and we strive to ensure it reaches its deserving recipients. visit the caught on red crescent. and remember, it's a copy revised wells and increases systems caught on red chris the,
3:00 am
the most and more destruction across the gaza is well intensifies its ground, the narrow tots in the north and expands. it's offensive in the south and central fonts of district, the hello i'm dire in jordan, this is obviously around 9 from dev all set coming up. a different logic blows. israel egypt shows it's anger against the offensive and rough of by supporting the genocide takes against is ran up the un stop there instances where they've acted in consist.
