and the amount of him as more celebrations and gone to, as crowds gathered to witness the return of what's been described as a nation's crown jewels is the 1st time they've been back on, gone a soil since they were taken by british colonials to 150 years ago, the as dante king underlined the significance of the moment the items that came back. busy is the soul of the people. the dismay this for you to see that the item that was totally new to drop in 1974. not all of them understand what we have here. still them, what is the sort of a push on the 32 items were taken by the u. k. during the colonial era. some were loser during wars with us on taking them. this long term loan took decades to negotiate and marks the silver jubilee of this dante king. in the victoria and albert museum hopes this will be

a foundation for stronger culture links in the future. and to wait to move on from a difficult past. we knowledge the very painful history surrounding the acquisition of these old checks, the history painted by the skulls of imperial conflict. uncommitted again, this european and u. s. museums are under growing pressure to return stolen african items to their place of origin bending. and nigeria, i've also been negotiating similar deals, nissan tay, treasures beyond the slaves, the public at the mine he a pals museum for the next 3 years. vince and monahan, l just sierra that said from a lower car, you can find much more a website that sounds as their adult comes back with the humanity is open the gates of hell or in the seats. he's having orlando's effects.

as the world discusses how to reduce emissions, supposing an existential threat to humanity, a new oil rush is displacing. you've got the people empower, investigates, the relationship between the mikey oil giants of the global notes and the developing nations of the global south crude mistake. talk to of, to on the jersey to one year the end of the civil war ensued on what is it about this story? this humanitarian costs have been staggering, but the news coverage has been minimum silencing the voices of dissent at us universities over israel and the gods. and what that says about freedom of speech in america plus restoring the independence of state owned new so black skin, poland has not gone according to plan. the last week marked the 1st anniversary of the war ensued on the desktop of areas and

the 10s of thousands. but it is in the number of people displaced nearly 9000000 and in need of humanitarian aid, around 25000000. that the story really stands out, a conflict on this scale should top the news agenda, but it has been relegated to the back pages in part because of what is happening in gaza and ukraine. and it is increasingly difficult to deny that the lack of media interest in this war comes down to where it is being fought and how it is understood. then there's a framing that this is a war between 2 generals, man and uniform, which office gates the role of global players in the fighting, and creates the perception that there are only 2 choices available. it is a binary that implicitly excludes a 3rd option, one that civil society in see don has been fighting for, for decades. democracy we are

really looking at human suffering on a scale that we can't really quantify. it is the west monitoring crisis, the number of people displaced, the number of people hungry. we're essentially looking at the costs of a society, an entire state in front of our eyes. there's also the sense that this floor is not going to end of all that was once talented to only take a few weeks. now. looks like this will go on for the long term. how is it the one year into see don's civil war? the world's greatest humanitarian crisis, attracts so little news coverage. the suffering in gaza has been horrendous. ukraine is an ongoing tragedy. but neither of those conflicts on the scale of what has on folded into down the number of people the front and the at the story goes largely on told on global news so fine. so lots of covers, obviously,

incident is tied to much larger questions of how africa is represented. and so many of these conflicts are seen in such simplistic and actually deeply harmful ways that are tied to quote unquote, primordial grievances. and are somehow just localized and detached from the rest of the world is that these 2 generals and they are less for power of taking the country hostage. that is patently untrue. unfortunately, we see a conflict arena that is taking shape with a gulf countries, namely the u. e. in saudi with even wagner mercenaries on the grounds from russia. and so what we really see is a deeply internationalized conflict that this time, what racist media narrative really doesn't capture. people use golf as an excuse goes, what happened 6 months since of the conflict? people use ukraine as an excuse, that's a completely different set up. so the typical excuses, other thing, cold war. so i think there's a sense of, let's just leave them to it. there's also a sense in the united states that one of the key allies in the region, the u, a. e might be doing things, it would feed this war and they don't want to put too much pressure on the right

because, well, they don't wanna lose that very key allies. it has been 5 years to the months since the sleeping these people were given cause for help. with the downfall of the different tater omar algebra, she who ruled over them. for 30 years. the civilians who rose up against our share then saw their dream of a democracy dashed by a military coup which morphed into a civil war last year. when an insurgent army from western c. r s. s. tried to take power from the generals in car to the suit and these armed forces for nessa, this power struggle is being fueled by players on the outside backing. the say f is egypt and more recently wrong in the are assess corner is rush through it's mercenary force wagner and the united arab emirates, although them are rockies, have tried to obscure their own agenda. last year,

m a rocky state media claimed that this was humanitarian a, destined for the student, these people. but according to investigations by the new york times and the wall street journal, it was all a guys to smuggle in arms to the r s. f. accusations that the u. a e has repeatedly denied, of course, some of what has gone to certain types it on has been here monitoring the systems, but as a is also well known that there are lots of other things such as armored cars, laser guided missiles and drones, which i've also been going to the region. so this idea that they're purely through monetary and while sending little weapons, it's clearly not exactly. it's such a neat and tidy story and i don't think they're full in too many people. least of all student needs on the ground. in terms of what the weight is after and so the on the goal trade, which is incredibly important for various reasons. one of them is section evasion. the united arab emirates corporates with the africa quotes for many barksdale, which has direct projection off rushes interest. and for russia,

gold is incredibly important to finance the one ukraine and to make its own economy less dependent on the dollar. so it means resources that i'm more resistant to what sections and that's what gold comes in. what b u e has become, of a sudden the, the past decade is the banking hub of the region. countries that have either dest particle, autocratic entities will invariably do some business in the united english, particularly in the gulf, a sector. and it just so happens that the they are as if is one of the biggest clients of, of the what you, which of course has one of the world's biggest gold markets in the early stages of the information or the r s f capture, the national state broad tv channel and your car to last month. the so you took it back, but when they are, i was in control. it didn't really do much with the child. partly because even in a country dealing with large scale intern at black towns,

we're just 30 percent of the population can consistently get online. social media is still where it's at. the u a. e is also involved. in fact, side effects. some of the companies behind pro our social media trends like g s k are based in the efforts they portray the militia groups, leader, general mohamed, how i'm done, dr. low, known as have mfc as a legitimate president in weight. they have their work cut in 2014 connect. these ports is fighting in the war in dar for committed mass murders and rapes of civilian atrocities. they are continuing to carry out sometimes posting the evidence on line other insiders trying to rehabilitate from that. these image and metal with the news narrative can see don range from operatives working out of russia in the east, canada, in the west. what we have now on the information space is i guess the combination

of years of investments by the, our staff in different processes across the world. not just in the united app. i mean it's, but also famously the canadian is really fun. run it by the former is really uh intelligence agent, already been manase, which had been providing the all help to the r as f for several years before the war. external, the idea is to civil war and clean the reputation of the hours up to position commitment as somebody who can be taken seriously as the head of state. because ultimately the prize here is the nation of savannah. so that's what the hope again, has been about internally, it's about trying to so division it's about trying to get more support for the rapid support forces over the cities on forces. whenever it there wasn't astride 5, you sit down on forces that had civilian casualties. you see would have someone from the, our south filming it into crying denouncing the sit on,

on forces the out. the what we've also been seeing lately is defections, lynch defections, foot from the sit down on forces on local administrative have joint them still have a 10 minute outside the last day of water damage. they would come down the weekend of course, say, and how far they have staged, whether or not these have been taken under duress, one of the 2 often the coverage this war does get falls into the final retreat, which makes it easier for the international community to just look away that this is essentially a war between 2 generals, between a many of the r s s versus the s a s of those fund to output hon. a redemptive characterization of what is happening. the phonics thing is taking place between all the units, loyal to the 2 generals, and can see much to don. story is far bigger than the student is resistance,

given grass roots, neighborhood networks of ordinary citizens who coordinated on lines were crucial. and bringing about the downfall of omar alba share in 2019 and have been working to save civilian lives. since the worth again, they have every right to demand a democratic say in what comes next and force who don. more of the news cameras should be pointed their way. following the story around these 2 generals who are fighting falls into a number of traps and tropes about the region. firstly, this idea that these african countries are somehow recklessly ruled and all about these warlords goes into this narrative which are really problematic and really short sighted because they failed to really think about the international has dimensions that are related to all of this. and more than anything they take away the agency of those who've been on the ground, the civic activists who lead this revolution and overthrown the amount of issue this, this deeply accept her credit cream. the thing that gives me is that the very people,

the full, so the revolution, they have the same people on the ground will living the very that they for the emergency response rooms, the resistance committees, the infrastructure, the sale field, incomplete, the very democracy that they're talking about is happening right now in the most intense physical condition. fail making it happen. that is the real story in the united states nationwide student protests against israel's genocidal assault on garza, i have set off police violence and a toxic media debate product and alpha is here with me for weeks now. students have been staging citizens across the us campuses, universities like columbia brown and mit on this spreading. however, if you've been watching the extensive news coverage, all those demonstrations,

you could be forgiven for not knowing what the students are actually demanding. that the universities divest all 7 legs with companies and academic institutions that process for me throughout occupation, underpass side college campuses in several parts of the country are struggling tonight with just where to draw the line between the allowing pro tests and free speech and preventing anti semitism and intimidation, the focus of the coverage is being on alleged anti semitism on the safety of your students. we've also seen politicians in the media demonizing protest this with baseless claims like this one. some of the students apparently are unaware of the atrocities of october 7th. they denied that women and children are brutally raped and murdered the incense were placed in the ovens and cooked a live. there were a narrative that has even been debunked. suffice writing, move out that one of the honor and yvette play. when examining the coverage, columbia university which is spearheaded, this movement has one of 12 oldest jonathan schools. it's administered the public

surprise for excellence in the field faculty. the stage a woke out over the university's heavy handed security response. 54 law professor had sent a letter to columbia of leadership, judging it to respect the rule of law of values that we can change and added the extraordinary involvement of the police threatens the universities legitimacy within its own community and beyond. escape. the videos is an account of peaceful states ends being met with police, 5 of students being arrested off the university lead of coal security forces and to deal with the have exposed power. plus, if the debate of gov has become in the us and it's about freedom of speech and where the us academic institutions will stand up for the values they teach, which american politicians preach. psych star for more than 4 months now,

poland is new government, led by prime minister donald's tourist, has been out to reverse the wholesale changes made to the country's media by the previous government, which had held power for 8 years. during that time when the law and justice party was an office, media legislation was passed, the dramatically altered the journalistic landscape and enhanced the ruling parties control over publicly owned news outlets, most notably at the state on television network, t v, p. but the 2 governments goal to sterilize public broadcasting of partisan politics has not been fully embraced by polish society tv. peas ratings are down and it has last few years to a relatively new right wing channel tv republic. the listening post ron calls now want donald to 6 media overall and how, what's on folding components? it was december 2023,

just one week since the government power enforced. and then state broadcast or tv. which side of new taken off to air? yes, of course. casey story had been a while, so finally i propose to hook me up. so yeah, and that's both sca matthew, the just what happened at night. it depends on who's narrating the tale and which side of poland political reality there on delivery. zip o scott cvp was on know for the shut down in an instant, it doesn't even hundreds of employee passes stopped working the adults. so one of the editors decided that the presenter should inform viewers that the cvt is being low for the taking over at the moment. you only minutes to say a few sentences on before the signal was cut off for the assessing those are so i just thought it was a big release for many people in poland because property can be the needs to be

partial. and for 8 years probably need out was everything bought in partial for the walk through this far too low. and just as was slicing democracy, kept by kat tools decided to stop it immediately. so obviously for anybody, it tastes like a shopping tyrant, the new prime minister donald to was the man administering this shock therapy to the state media is i don't even think we should. but the initially is the types of i knew it was a little my last check, your stucky limits. i mean it was about the pictures of like the new government came into power december last year and reforming the media was at the top. it's agend the coalition in the center left and pro you replacing the right wing government headed by the law and justice, part known in poland by its acronym piece for 8 years from 2015 until

2023 places in power. and in that time, it had a transformative effect on the countries media. it politicized colin's media regulators turn the national broadcast or into what the council of europe called a propaganda channel for the ruling party. private media outlets rather bought out by local governments for state corporations, or private conglomerates allied to peace regulations and laws came into effect that made the survival of critical media outlets incredibly challenging. so when the full man government, the lower injustice government, left office and public media in particular had been competing corrupted. the main public tv channels was used to promote the government's agenda attack opponents, the main able to use every day with generally involved promotion. the government's

narrative shows up some money at the for the key to load your gear, but the gender of code you to scroll forward, you to physical or for giving us so much. we're not gonna be the correct issue. and the cut color of it could have to be something else. the physical evidence of defense, the bottom of the china was attacking the position. i am usually in a very unsuccessful way. don't know, it's still still substantial was instruct for the skate cuz there's no support. so for anybody else to get up to the other thing is that with our me, little home, you know, the from, to put it. there's a vote in the photo step isn't going though to have what happens to be the sounds like a story from some strange place that knows no democracy in this way of 6 stomachs. however, the laws regarding how management teams are chosen for public tv had been changed by peace back in 2015 when they came to power. and those are the laws to made use of. before the changes, there was regulation to ensure the selection of management personnel wasn't purely political. it was all done according to the standard. when piece change,

the law enabled politicians to directly appoint and dismiss the managers of public media outlets. look to them, so should they actively pointed to us could come to power promising to de politicize public media. but many argue he's really just re politicize that to be paid. for example, under the new administration receive criticism. couple of months ago when it published and advocates and celebrating its freedom under the new management issue, i spoke with a firm for each, every single politician that was shown in the ads that speaking on the china was from the new building competition. so there were no opposition, voices on that might well because of a shift on the ups. yeah. they want to have a single narrative. nowadays, the immigration crisis, these rarely spoken about no one wants to discuss the risks of moving our currency from disloyalty to the euro. or issues like rising energy coverage,

i'll send you up to the destruction of cvp means that the people are not being informed of the. let me draw your attention to tvs, blue or sheet, which is collapsing dramatically. let you not web messy. that is not an exaggeration. according to a survey conducted by the media analytics firm, nielsen tv piece viewership in february 2024 had dropped by 72 percent compared with the audience numbers. in february 2023, one of the biggest media beneficiaries of td piece knows guiding numbers is a right wing populace channel tv recruitment aligned with emulates the style of fox news in the u. s. or c. news print from the 6 people just now. getting in trouble with these kinds of the thoughts and i ask them,

what's on the answer for them. so he just by g. so many piece of pointed employees who are posted from state media upon to survival, migrated to tv republicans. and according to the nielsen's survey, the numbers of viewers in february this year was 30 times the audience just one year ago. also in february, the channels advertising revenue quadruple. we contacted to have your approval to speak with them about the streak of success there and join. they didn't respond. when we asked the current director of the tv, the man appointed by twos, government did a very specific perspective on the following numbers of his network. and the jump tv recruitment guy's seats, the viewer of public media for 8 years, which was a very specific viewer and to the people that were victims of population. so that was obvious that they will move to, to tv republica,

which is private property, the state for some people, probably current public television is small ball re because that i know made up sensational things that there was no language or hatred. basically it became more flocked. so obviously, i can understand that for some people is less excite spent. but we, i'm not here to excite people. we are here to the, to deliver the news. the facts don't feel it's a concern about the new model. but for, for $100.00 to few words should not be abandoned. after all, the idea of public media is to represent all voices in society. of course, those who enjoy the emotions and aggression to each should feel a band of since that language and tone has no place here. however, if t v p ignores conservatives,

it doesn't mean that those people will just disappear and we can manage just liberal media. this is really the challenge for the new government to allow public media to be professional and independent and not simply using as a mouthpiece dirty, but on the golf chicago. and that is the challenge for donald to but the strip certificates of, of the new with that and the promise of poland new government made was to quote, restore access to reliable information on public media. but it's really liable ends up meaning everything that's pro government, then the opportunity to restore balance and credibility to degrade and media landscape will be squandered. and the deep polarization colon will remain. and finally, for more than 6 months now, we have reported on the countless crimes being committed by his ready forces. in garza this past week,

more horror stories emerged. the discovery of new mass graves at least 392 bodies on earth next to nicer hospital in hong eunice. some were found stripped naked, their hands tied. others showed signs of having been buried alive. the execution of civilians is a war crime for which the it's really military denies responsibility. and it's not as though the un human rights of office or the european union, both of which have called for independent investigations are going to get one any time soon. because israel continues to deny the un and human rights organizations access to godsa, locking them out along with scores of journalists, the palestinian reporters and 1st responders inside the world zone, continued to do their work despite being targeted. and it is worth remembering that they have been the ones who have brought the stories of mass graves to light. we'll

see you next time here at the listening post. this is a front line where there is little life after more than half a year of hostilities that began when hezbollah opened up a front to help it's a lie from us. in casa, we are traveling with members of the united nations peacekeeping force, their own patrol, with lebanon's army. we are here to support them and these government to take control of the situation. but the army is not the dominant force here. has the law has a strong presence even before this latest confrontation, nearly 100000 lebanese have left their homes and livelihoods. it's a similar situation on the other side of the border. this is the cost of hor, official. a loss that are already in the billions of dollars, although the contract is still large and contained and confined to the, for the region, has been lost as the conflict won't end until there's

a ceasefire in casa. but possibly not even then. because isabel is reckoning a wider war if border security doesn't improve. for countless refugees, english channel is more than a body of water. it's the final spring, and it's desperate journey. a remarkable 1st time the account of the youngest tracy onto the same is brother's life selflessly. so to provide for his family this, the phone scare us with this on i just kind of foundation is deliberate over $300000000.00. will suffice. emboldened $75.00 countries around the world, 100 percent of suck thoughts and emotions to donation spends on projects. and we ensure beneficiaries come 1st of a 300 on luis, haven't had gone through the rough,

the crossing in recent months. our most of these bless and be blessed and we all turning your donations into direct delivery in the shortest possible time donates with confidence. the a visual process in the us become a target students at the university of california on the latest face. so with police, the color them or kyle, this is alan. they're alive from doha. also coming up, trying to create tre on. it's not to peacefully protest between us ponies, say, many of the protest is arrested of columbia and city university of new york. i'm

not students palestinians in gauze say they feel hurt by the protests that you.
