please use it and take well offloads. what's left of his morning break production about a 100 loaves 2 years ago he produced 10 times that, but he says chronic power cuts have nearly destroyed his small business. a good trip or do i do more light? i couldn't even imagine the future with this type of business because of uh, we do depend on electricity when able to day basis for the business to function. so even the explosion trends that we have no idea on pause. escalating operational costs, like purchasing diesel generators and slower trade means move in $2.00 thirds of township businesses of shots at the time of the last elections in 2019 the electricity crisis cost to solve their frequent economy, at least $2000000000.00. that's according to the national energy regulator. while the government's lived by the african national congress was willing to use an advance that agent facilities and power generating equipment would not keep up with them on. it did nothing to insure capacity was increased. but now it says it has

a plan and puzzle the improvement that do i see now? in a said he's out of it, they say aggressive maintenance lead. they have every cover, the f for this being approved by the board. is that a way of being able to add a approximate improve that the energy of a buick effected by approximately 9 percentage points. but in the last few years, the power cuts which began more than 16 years ago have only worsened with some areas without power for up to 10 hours a day in the weeks ahead of the election, silva for cuz not had any problem with that. the government says it has nothing to do with a vote and that is managed to improve power generation. even if that is the case, it may for many votes as play in the agencies favor, but it may also be too late for others. aside from the scheduled problem, cuts areas like this, and so we're to have not had any electricity for months and that's because people

here become angry at matching. so we're not going i both, i am not going to boat and out on the . 7 the, well, the probably the to the t says it has a plan and the chances of will power cuts the small use of the system. power cuts of cost is business owner. not only tens of thousands of dollars, but his hopes of a promising future. somebody to miller ultra 0 johannes bug and are up to date on way lot rock on behalf of all of us here. thank you so much for watching. the news continues here on alger 0 after the listening. see that the the

challenges with india is now 2 weeks into the biggest electoral process on the plan. lorenz remote is everywhere on every channel, all over social media and his language is deeply devices. the i c. c, the charges against israel and tomas and the coverage that tells its own story. and have you read that headlines on java? they're fix that for the to the election now underway in india is happening on a scale, but no other country can match with more than 950000000 eligible voters casting ballots over 6 weeks. and the various parties spending a reported $15000000000.00 on their campaigns. the bidding favorite is prime

minister now runs remote, and his hindu nationalist party, the b j. p gunning, for an historic 3rd term. india also has a media space like no other featuring more than 400 news channels. the vast majority of which do modi's bidding 247. and they stepped it up a notch, conducting an unprecedented number of interviews with the prime minister, lobbying softball questions. his way funding in front of the cameras. and yet even with all of those factors playing in the b, j piece, favor, moti and the parties are their star. campaigners of leaned heavily into what they consider their primary election winning strategy, bashing indian muslims calling them infield traders out to eat up national resources. it is dangerous language and it's being repeated over and over. because despite all of those interviews, no one is really holding the prime minister to account

it is fitting that the world's largest democracy, india has the longest election process of them all over the 1st 4 weeks to vote. and with about a week to go and unexpectedly low turn out suggests that for prime minister and a wrench for moti and his party, the b j t. things are not going according to plan one. sure sign of the prime minister who has spent 10 years in office, mostly avoiding interviews with the mainstream media. he's spending more time with journalists than ever before. 5 minutes the movie verity gives interviews. he does not forward press conferences. how ever? from the 31st of march, to the 14, to may of 41 interviews, which is quite the place. what these interviews do is may came from set them on television channels in newspapers, to remind people of his career ma,

am his appeal be knows that mister moody is its best trump card when it comes to elections, because he does better when it comes to national elections as compared to dispute and next that's the reason being that investment elections. mr. moore, this is the fees that they're projecting. so you maximize the visibility of your best performer? can i be very blunt? these interviews are nothing but sort of unpaid, political advertising designed to project the prime minister to a wide audience for about a k to something to put in at the hey, i'm doing the, i'll give you something to put in the time of cheese, but bonita not go up like the ball will be what i bought in october. it was developed when i 1st got there. the questions. i'm not searching, they're not challenging. they don't deal with the obvious problems that have come up in mr. moody's, can you record that?

i'm no follow up questions, vest print, and when he comes we've been rented, we have been friends running whatever indian journalists could argue, that they're just out of practice after a decade of struggling to get access to the prime minister. they're now frequent exchanges with him. well presented as respond, tedious and unscripted appear to have been anything by optics. fortunately, when he was on the vast majority of india, news outlets including almost all of the $42047.00 news channels, are explicitly promo for reasons ranging from the ideological to the pragmatic. in such a crowded media space, most outlets have come to depend on revenue from government advertising, which the b, j. p controls. media owners often own diversified conglomerates. there are other companies do business with b, j, p government, in new delhi,

and in various states. so it is in their interest to be in the parties. good. and to many news organizations to mention that have been critical of body of landed in legal trouble with the government, including the taxes or the selection of our lab cent interviewer, as low to choose us to talk to their for can be as revealing as the questions those interviewers do or do not ask me how to give them the fact that some of the names that come to mind are over because the out that's from tv 18. i think i'll come i or from our times now are the swami from really popular government not. busy from india to the other outlets such as n i c, i a hodge dog. any news that was drawn to interviews, there was some national dealings as well in the san dimas, in times of india and

a couple of significant vision of the media outlets. none of these interviews are being drawn to anyone who was known to be able to critic what's the government or prime minister. i wouldn't as the prime minister about his daily routine and what time he wakes up and what he eats for breakfast or how he maintains his energy to the data. serious journalists should be asking about the problems of unemployment. the problems of jobless roles, price rise, and inflation. the fact that there are people in his body that continually played the rest of the rising politics on the ground. people who have been convicted of acts of terrorism who remain members of his part to get what he thinks about that. these are questions to ask. the prime minister of the country, write a record of his dom of the rest itself. the ground was uh,

pretty clearly established because it cannot be that you don't have follow up questions about pick a doctor up here one line if the other day. the fact is that today there is not a single channel that is willing to buck the trend. all of these outlets in english can be all in different reason. the languages are, so it'd be whole into the government. and so much in all i missed a movie that you didn't have any kind of serious question. there have been rhetoric sections amidst all of the soft falls, a few her teaching questions, most notably about the unmistakable turn taken by moti ends. it'd be j. p in 0 election message to explicit muslim batch, split up name with a model that just got the word spread. yeah, no, but jump at the positive was on mad honor isn't me. i'll pull the how do the use the get be going to get this pulled up a, a really good job. but the,

one of i think that the interviewer could have reminded most of some of his other campaign speeches containing coded rogatories language like that that has been long used to describe indian muslims. but she left him off the nor has mowdy been asked to answer for some of the ugly campaign ads. his party has put out. like this one, a cartoon depiction of ro, guntee, the leader of the biggest opposition party, the congress, feeding muslims to the point where they out grow. other minority groups in india and rule the roost has been making claims that the congress wants to see his private wealth and redistributed among muslims. and he has been citing these claims to the congress and election manifesto nicer look at the congress was election manifesto these 2 claims to know what the future in, in, in that document. but whenever more the speak set, an election, riley argues,

speaks as an, in an interview, these are broad teams that he has been focusing on the job. the, the, this has sort of become the, you know, mean blank, major blank of the media is tempe. and so i'm just, i'm moving him, says his own political campaign has gone back to or troops of the can do right. where they are trying to sort of create a polarizing image of the opposition as a group of rag dad coalition. foxy's that's going to eliminate or going to side line the majority in those. so that's been a very clear shift in message of the b j. b from the beginning of the election. the fact that he's gone back to the or sort of troops of him move up politics signifies the need for the b j. b to ensure that the base is not in the state of the civic. in the 10 years under run for moody's rule, according to the reporters without borders press freedom in india has sunk from 140

years to 159 out of the 180 countries on fabulous with back track record. it takes a special kind of goal to say, as modi did last week, that his prior reluctance to give into and his continued refused to hold even a single press. congress is because of a quote, lack of neutrality in the indian media. media are the border brand new. there is such a lack, but it works in bodies favorite and not against to suggest otherwise does not inform indian voters. it leaves them missing for. the agenda of the media is to ask the difficult questions of those water box. and the whole purpose of living in a democracy is that leaders present themselves. for questioning, i'm not afraid to answer questions, because uh, that's the way journalism is. what the world considered as news uh on tv. you do

not have that and then get to the you have propaganda. outlets. things will get much worse. obviously. if mr. moody comes back to par, i barely watch television news in india any more? my says i con bed to watch it for now, and once the may at each other all the time. it's sounds pretty much to the bottom . what would happen in another? don't just more of the same. and as long as as an audience and keep delivering, that's beside tools, right? there's a reason why indian use television was on the safe control of the uh, the only 90 because it was a very fall, please do not communication propaganda, whatever. today, if you don't need to be government going to be part of the propaganda machine, we just are, the bigger your business, the more reliant you are on the government for money. and therefore, the more willing you want to do the governments building, whoever the government of the day made this past week,

the international criminal court announced its intention to seek arrest warrants for leaders in both israel and of how mos, the reaction from tel aviv and washington has been fast and furious, tara nelfa has been following how it all unfolds. well, this was an historic decision by i c. c. prosecute to kareem khan. the 1st time the court has targeted assisting western by the leader, in this case, benjamin netanyahu for war crimes and crimes against humanity. there was some unusual choreography in the way the announcement was made on when public before the arrest warrants were approved. which may be a sign of the pressure he is, and he puts out not just an official statement on social media, but also this prerecorded interview with sienna. we're not going to be swayed by the different types of threats, some of which are public. and so maybe, you know, this court is built for africa. and for folks like putin was what one senior leader told me the i think the prosecutor was talking about the intimidation. he and his

office have come on the in recent weeks. but he also revealed how western need of view the quotes and the kinds of lead as it should. the few. while the icpc has had an open investigation into the situation in palestine for more than 2 years, con, chose to now are his focus to war crimes committed since october 7th, which has done little to modify israel and 5. mr. con texas place. i'm of the great anti semites in modern times. laven in critics anti semites, is hardly new material for is ralph prime minister. he then followed up with a series of interviews with us networks, which included this band and conceal of threats. he delivered on a b, c. i'm not concerned at all about our status. i think that the prosecutor should be concerned about his status. reactions in the us have been similar. president joe biden called the ice and steve and susan outrage,

us send as many as others have pointed out, the us government's hypocrisy in protecting, as well as impunity. given how into the attic, they agreed to be arrest warrants issued for vladimir putin while the media and political debate rages on about the icbc decision. israel continues to masika name and stuff, palestinians in garza, including and rough which president biden one said was a red line. thanks. talked in 8 months of the war on god. media coverage, especially from outlets in the united states, has been torn apart by critics. the repeated inaccuracies, the girls are taishan, is really talking points. the striking absence of context, such failings can jump out at you because often they are in the headlines. copywriter is commit all kinds of journalistic sense and sometimes try to justify them by saying that headlines need to be brief, but the results can be incomplete, misleading text. that is quite often at odds with the reporting that follows. and

since many readers never got past the headlines, the misinformation contains there can have an effect on public opinion. one historian, also a rod has been on a journalistic mission to fix those headlights. she's been tweeting them out with stripe through annotations and critiques. her work has gone viral because it's so on point. we spoke with us, all right, about how an american academic has found her self control and a small but significant corner of the 4th of state. the world of headlines. my name is s, all right, and i am the historian of the modern released and since the beginning of this war and actually before this war, i have been correcting headlines the as a historian. i know how important narrative in story telling is. and the way that the story is being told in the western media especially,

is not right. and it's not accurate. the so i tend to focus on headlines because the reality is most people don't read beyond them. often use content is paywall or people just don't have that much time within their day to dedicate every topic headlines do, catch the eye though, and the shape the way that people think about the, the framing of stories on palestine, israel in the western world, particularly the u. s. has always been very one sided these headlines and stories and the way they're written, the use of language. it's all deliver it in all intention. and i wanted people to see how simple change of words could improve the way the stories are framed in the journal isn't one pattern i see so

often is headlines that whitewash israel's culpability. and war crimes by not even mentioning the word is really an original headline. from the new york times reads strikes, pound drop off flattening large long. and this is an older headlines since before the recent attacks. we're seeing the roof on now. there's so many issues with this one. but let's start with the most clearing which forces behind the strikes israel, right? so why is that not mentioned? it's an omission and not emission is not accidental because you see a pattern of it happening. event strikes. you could have at the 3 letters and made it very clear that they were in fact airstrikes. there's a mention of alpha, but no reference to the fact that it's in gaza that causes a part of the policy new territories. and this might confuse people who aren't knowledgeable about the entirety of the geography, but also the fact that russia is the last refuge for palestinians. and this trip is so important. i mean, that's the reason why rafa is in the news. and in the headlines the 1st place,

you know, there might be a counter argument that says, uh, well, all of those details or what the entire article is for the headline doesn't have to give all of that away. but you see that the addition of just a few words makes it very easy to bring the context into the headline. and then you can explain the details in the body of the piece. but this headline in its original form. so problem not a because it attributes basically nothing to know. you're not clear where this is taking place. you don't know what exactly happened and you have no clue who didn't . thursday's attack has been described as a massacre of civilians. hundreds of starving palestinians had gathered to collect food aid when they were attacked. so this headline was published after the flower massacre, which happened in february of this year. where we saw a really horrifying footage of palestinians killed while trying to get to the headline reads in k otic, seen,

many are killed and wounded as his release open fire, which is just an absurd way of phrasing what happens. so one of the 1st problems with this phrasing is it makes it seem like chaos is inherent to the situation because it's causes not because of the external forces. specifically these really forces that are causing the situation. oh, so it wasn't a chaotic scene. it was a messenger and to call it a chaotic scene is just an obscene way of talking about it. the headline also says many are killed and wounded. they've used passive voice to describe a situation with more than a 100 starving people. people who are being deliberately starved, chilled, is really forces open fire on them as they were trying to get food from the 8 convoys. that's what happens when you look at reporting from other conflicts, like russia's war against ukraine. you see the difference in language used very quickly in this headline, how russia is using ukrainians, hunger as

a weapon of war. you can see very clear the there's no passive voice. russia is named as the responsible party. and the crime that it's committed by russia is stated clearly in plain english, most of ukrainians are named as victims. if you notice, i underlined that line a residence of variable ukraine because that's not how postings and goals are talked about. writers use gardens rather than palestinians, so ukrainians in a specific location and you cream are still called ukrainians. but in the case of gaza too often there are no references to palestinians. and this goes back to the idea of how not just in the media, but also in our political discourse. how sign is fragmented? the people might not understand the cause of the west bank, east jerusalem. they're all part of posts, newton state. they're all post to me in territories. and if you single out causes, without explaining that they're posting news, you're essentially separating garza from the larger issue of palestinian statehood

and liberation. and this falls into and is really pattern of racing posted in identity and posting in statehood by treating each of these illegally occupied territories and their people, a separate entities, people in gaza or palestinians, and journalists should call them that new share. a lot of headlines from the onion, it's a satirical new site in the us and their headlines are supposed to be a joke. they're supposed to be humorous exaggerations, that sort of put a mirror of the society and politics. and especially the way that our own media covers events, but some of the onions, older posts on this particular issue on israel palestine and the us as role in it. they almost read like predictions. we've come to the point where the situation with gaza has become so atrocious, but they onions headlines have become pretty spot on. this headline reads, nathan,

yahoo assures critics. he still has the utmost respect for us money. and the context in which i shared it was that nathan, y'all who had cancelled a visit, buying his really delegation to washington dc. because the us finally didn't veto a cease fire resolution at the united nations. they did everything and this was back in march of this year. they did everything to undermine the resolution still by calling it non binding, but they didn't actually veto it, but need to know who it wasn't. so it said that he turned down to $3300000000.00 in tax pair of dollars, but the us is giving israel to funded tours. he was very quick, in fact, to thank america for that money. mind you this and i mean had like, is from originally 2015 when the obama administration was at odds with amazing yahoo government. but despite those very clear disagreements, obama still handed his real 38000000000 dollar package of military aid over 10 years. that was the largest of his con years later,

the onions headline is still applicable because nation, yahoo is still in power. she's still subbing the us and undermining us policy and international law. and he's still getting billions of dollars, which is happy to get the when you talk about mask off gaza is really shred it anything that resembles the sort of world order that we had become accustomed to sharing western powers, especially the united states and mainstream media in the us champion for such a long time and they're still using that language. but with such an egregious level of the pop receive that everyone can see it now. and i think that's the part that's resonating with so many people with these headline corrections. the state of israel seems to be able to get away with anything, anything and not be held accountable. and the fact that the media so complicit in

this process that it continues to whitewash israel's crime and parent basically, whatever the us is, official line is. it's a real application and it's, and these incomplete and accurate headlines are shaping help people speak. and that's where i think it's so important, pointed out the and finally, the ongoing case against the julian assange may well have taken a major turn this past week. the by the administration is pursuing a science for wiki, lexis publishing of classified documents, exposing american war crimes, interact, and afghanistan. this week, british judges granted a sam's the right to appeal against extradition to the us. so to make the case that he would not get a fair trial there, the judges zeroed in on washington's failure to promise that if expedited assange and astrology and citizen would be entitled to the same constitutional protection that americans get under their 1st amendment. which safeguards freedom of speech.

supporters of assange say that this ruling provides more than just a glimmer of hope. it is a potential turning of the tide. but after 5 years in a maximum security prison in the london julian assange could be a free man in a matter of months. and then a case that has implications for journalists around the world. that's big news. what's the next time? here at the listening post of to 6 weeks, the final phase of india's general elections begins on seeing the fast prime minister in our rent removed. he is seeking to increase his majority about little low turn out and economic uncertainty. cost is routing, di, follow india is general election announces era. interrogate the narrative. there's no question about the united states is effectively complicit the genocide challenge

the rhetoric. yeah. think that correct, but so is the international community upfront, only without just seeing how believes that you shouldn't underestimate the consequences of snatching animals from the natural habitat. family groups separated, and infants and juveniles are separated from their mothers. and it causes a tremendous amount of social disturbance in these populations, which we just don't think about. i mean, know how come here to be in behaviorally sophisticated they are how complex they are and yet to put them into a gauge doctor, we should like to keep them all their life. he also believes that science isn't the only factor to consider ricky thinking that if i have a degree, if i look in the research institution or a university and best place to understand the books. and so if we don't continue

with animal experimentation, let's be aware of the impacts of 5 actions. let us don't mean that we don't harm. we don't touch, we do. we exploit the to scenes of devastation a devastation after it is rarely a talk on off at least $35.00 stadiums choose and a missile strike on a refugee camp the fund people. they bought the survivors taking the hospitals that are barely functioning victims, mainly women and children. the on way little rock. this is l g 0 life.
