6:31 am
a public kitchen at the evacuation center to provide food. there's also a need for a central food. there was no warning when the flats came and some roads remain closed. at let's say we need clean water because clean will say hey, is no longer available. so residents have difficulty. it's far away and only a few spots to the left. we also need close to help those affected by the disaster . displaced just exhaust that has displaced hundreds of people and cause extensive destruction. i started big of did their thirty's in southern brazil considering relocating entire neighborhoods to higher ground of to weeks of devastating floods . at least 147 people have died in the floods and land slides. and more than half a 1000000 people are sleeping in 10 for shelters and for delivery. the river running through the cities rising again, often more right?
6:32 am
the neighboring argentina is also suffering from heavy flooding of more than $500.00 people have been moved to safety and concluded homes and streets are under water all to the you of why the bus. just thanks. people have pets in the city bordering reserves for the affected area is moving around and can use extreme hate has overwhelmed mexico's power good, causing blackouts across the country. school was suspended in that sudden anyways, but we'll see what the temperature is sort of 50 degrees send to that environment x that somebody named comic change in the new weather phenomena for the heat wave. you can find more information on our website. so i'll just say what the common use continues to alter the listening post a statement this the exploring type, this cultural exciting political discourse. exposing
6:33 am
societies to jock was winning intense investigations. the get compelling insights into human folds and untold stories from asia or in the pacific one. 0 one east on. ouch is 0. a band algebra get shut down in history just as is where the 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
6:34 am
tracked in rafa. 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 assault on rough or is underway, coinciding with all of this has been the closure of allergies. here 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 horrors 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 to that it is really as i've tried to search for trey,
6:35 am
that's kind of like an end game. this is sort of the last bastion city and the god strip where they are claiming that the military operations is not complete until the army goes in with the troops to what they describe, the dismantling loss is remaining and destructive their reality and practice of this is that the broadwell file is right now, the only home for palestinians life and society, and refuge for people have been displaced for the past 7 months from the northern strip. all the way down to the cell. rough uh, was supposed to be the red line. that is real, would not cross its forces, have crowd 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 betrayal to the mix. having advised those civilians to take refuge there, then nothing. yeah. who government now cause rough or the last stronghold of a moss? and within a day of rejecting a cease fire that her most had agreed to that would have freed every remaining is
6:36 am
really hostage. nothing 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 genocidal. 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 there's red lines that are to crosses and they cannot have 30000 more palestinians. so 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,
6:37 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 roof and nothing. yeah. who government band alger 0 from the is really airwaves. and from reporting from there in announcing the police raids on algebra as offices, israel's communications minister called the network, a threat to israeli 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 that we most into a national news outlets cannot since they have been locked out by israel wester, news outlets 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
6:38 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. netanyahu was attacked potter, even though it's instrumental in mediating for a cease fire. that's 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,
6:39 am
and that's how it and then we'll talk about as to how fee they, uh, or some of them. then that's good if you, how much did you say on inputs? 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 l g 0 has coverage, is that it has the audacity to contradict these 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 his reading,
6:40 am
newspapers relies on l. just it was coverage of gosh b as really, authorities would do better to focus on their own airwaves. the same government that just shut down a news network for quote, endangering is really soldiers has no issues. when a senior official in the room and the food 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 have been some of the goodness. but i will, will, i will. but i will have to visit when you live here, seen those types. the eclipse 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 journalist themselves making these exact same statements. so how
6:41 am
much thank you and as that seem, how can we push on it? but what do you, what i'm hoping for? sure, kim to pull them 1st of all, to leave, to land 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. if you look at this really media from the beginning of the war, it's fixing being a company in support. 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 in the coverage is obviously not showing as early as uh, what is happening to postings on the ground, the number of people who are being killed any testimonies of how that was being waged when that is your media environments. but then having us, you having society that is not able to confront the realities of what their country
6:42 am
is. waging 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 commits you're not homeless. israel is a democracy. and a as a jewish state, as supports and, and believes in every as mattering and such since when have a part hard states been considered true democracies just because they hold elections. and what kind of democracy locks the global media out of a war zone that has become a slaughter house for civilians kills journalists. they're at an unprecedented rate and then benz one of the only news channels that has its own reporters in garza
6:43 am
survivors risking their lives to get the story. yeah, we need to talk about that. the term democracy. israel 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 a f knock or cd 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 or bring a, a far right jewish interpretation of a jewish law into the 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
6:44 am
middle east waging a genocide, a 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 italy's 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.
6:45 am
maloney tara from alpha is here with which on this right stage woke out of what they use in cold, suffocates, and controlled by georgia in the 90s 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 in key editorial roles is what is the censoring of voices and stories that do not fit with the routing code actions file rights agenda is common for governments and it to the, to appoint loyalists, 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 presented and managers to quit the slightest show down between rife stuff and the government goes back to april 25th. it's an ease liberation day when a permanent, also antonio scratchy, which federal to deliver an anti fascist monologue. but just hours before the show was meant to add, scratchy, was informed by right,
6:46 am
that his appearance had been cancelled for the newspaper. louder appropriate lights revealed what quote editorial reasons. scott, these words were eventually read out by a host at the right said i bought toner and an act of sort of diety, deputies. insignificant feel. quando consists of the from time like any of his studies thought he 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 about the prevenient stuff. the appraisal is found, say valley fit updates in decent video that fits about that. a g mail. that gets sick with sending to you, but a send somebody anybody out and it's showing see, i mean, let's put in stuff a she stuff full, screwed out to and many other than the to the, the whole effect was the plates and arts of censorship. one that fits into why the pots in, from underneath 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,
6:47 am
say that so this government write 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 an 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 remotely 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 india is 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 is putting out explain. there's critiques and interviews, or questioning the b, j piece. otherwise, dominant narrative,
6:48 am
many are journalists who gave up mainstream news rooms for places in the online eco system. are cash banner g is one of them, has 4000000 followers. and his videos are racking up to the stage the headquarters got the heck reaction of the novel monday on and finding out that puts an example there to bother me again. 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 many people would've been out there are correspondence. she joins us now. 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 electorate is built on. when to begin with, i wouldn't say that it's all done invested on indian elections that tend to be remarkably unpredictably. white 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,
6:49 am
i wouldn't say it's done and dusted a lot of movies. tom griggs, my appeal comes from the fact is that people are really find 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 of 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 thoughtful 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
6:50 am
a little bit dangerous. so now the number 9 jobs were not that a boards. yeah. so how do you use, explain this change of attack by moti? 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 do the dog listening. he has enough and more people to do that. obviously, some brazen goal is to balance 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 the guy that did these do some of the plot? my la hot a minority ma my job. most of them on somebody down the line. the pgp has
6:51 am
understood that the campaign off 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 is 20 percent of these 20 percent. i'm going to expand, they're going to take over your space, you'll put a good space, they'll 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 or b as you did him good, elect orders out so, so what he's doing, he's doing fully aware of what he's 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 new rent,
6:52 am
remotest rule. when i joined television media in 2004, 2005, and there was a total of new television channels that were coming in television was on a high, it was the aspiration, a job to be in. i'm, i think my style is that i put in 2012 because what has happened, dr. 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 that in the body to take on a force which is much larger than him. so you can imagine him as a see me all of a family where his decision should not be criticized. so no idea that he can come up with can be a bad idea. every idea is a good idea. and if it fails it's, it's, it's the implementation. so the media really has allowed for the dumbing down of
6:53 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 the 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 rolls and rolls of computer and doing work for a particular party. and of course 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,
6:54 am
why he would just asking questions to the government. why don't you ask questions for the opposition and, and subtle hints 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. the kind of 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 will basically give the government a lot more bibles on what you've been youtube channels. if the government or any of the citizens that aren't happy with, they need a 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 at 500 complaints on a date. it's using the law against the people were trying to maintain the
6:55 am
constitution, trying to speak out for laws and values and using that by the same law against them . when we discuss politics in india, we do tend to let audiences off the hook. we don't really hold audience is 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, i used to say what is going on and doing television. oh, this noise is this heat that is going on in the new television. i had an
6:56 am
opportunity of watching something else. i would have the prime minister has come late and remarkable clarity on issues. it's only often blue, independent journalism. dwayne, the youtube channel is off to so many years. one gets to understand is 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 vide 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 the going to be good 3 that people have within them exploited enable it. and the 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 into people a cash banner,
6:57 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. listening, 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, 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 how 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
6:58 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 . your thoughts, me post. if you are watching this pre recorded report, then al jazeera has been banned in the territory, all is, well, we'll just screen to be any stray me when my country is closing down, searching for the networks only because ition sooner being came here, this decision puts other networks where it came in the occupied was time for inside
6:59 am
israel proffer also, independent journalists would be targeted we, i thought it was 0. we shouldn't be aware of that as a badge of honor to be banned by the government that stands indicted for general size at the national court of justice. the sense that he missed the acadia and he just shoot them. the price is high for a family of palestinian activists, so peacefully protected the community from is really set to expansion in the occupied westbank for decades. they just put that 80 for that. like on our see, this is the story, the trying to see them moving them some of the on the fire on a, just a, you know, in depth analysis of the days headlines. if that was a rough or offensive. where would the people go? people have no place to give each one of 2000 people has to be displaced at least 2
7:00 am
times frank assessments. this is a mess and blow to free speech and freedom of the press informed opinions you can be somebody. this is on one of the hostages october 2nd and return, and i want to stop inside story on al jazeera, the, this is rarely false, is carry out a series of attacks and essential 1000 targeting a school housing displaced palestinians, and also the con, carry johnston. this is i'll just say we're not from the also coming up. hundreds of thousands have been forced to flee garza's, southern city of rafa, as israel continues as strikes and ground operations. the un vehicle is hits in southern gaza. kidding. one stockman by 190 of its workers have died since the war
7:01 am
