with the listening perched on al-jazeera. covers to take a look at the top stories here and there are more than six hundred refugees and migrants arrived in the spanish border valencia a week to italy and more to turn them away the standoff has highlighted the european union's inability to agree on how to manage the influx of people fleeing war persecution and poverty. a preliminary name changing agreement has been signed on the border between greece and macedonia it will become the republic of north

macedonia if both call them is approved the deal which is faced the opposed by nationalists macedonia is due to old referendum in september. eighteen people have been killed and forty nine injured in the second attack in twenty four hours in the afghan province of. on saturday and i salute tak in the same province killed thirty six people meanwhile the taliban has confirmed to al jazeera that a temporary ceasefire agreed with the government to celebrate he will not be extended. that the us president is uses weekly address to blame the democrats for not closing loopholes that allow. gang members into the country donald trump says the democrats are protecting immigrant criminals who are connected to violent groups like the m s thirteen his administration has adopted a zero tolerance policy for immigrants crossing the border illegally and is facing particular criticism for separating children from their parents as they're detained mike hanna has more from washington. looming in the background to the ongoing

debate about immigration is the administration's zero tolerance policy as it puts it now that was introduced by attorney general jeffrey sessions which leads to families being split up at the border children being put into detention centers while their parents go through a legal process now this is created much public concern much public debate and also debate and concern among politicians who are about to vote on immigration measures in the week ahead the house leader paul ryan has brought a compromise bill as he puts it that will deal with the issue of dreamers these are undocumented children who entered the country with their parents years ago now this bill will legalizes situation that will allow them eventually to get us citizenship but what it also does is imposes incredibly strict controls and family link

immigration it also provides billions of dollars for president trumps wall now the situation that we have here is that conservative republicans describe this bill as an amnesty they say they going to vote against it moderate republicans want to vote for it democrats say no they will not vote for this bill because it provides billions of dollars for a wall that they will not accept so you have legislation pending in congress that is being attacked from both sides as it were and compounding the situation is president trump on friday he said no i don't support this compromise bill subsequently his assistants walked that back and said no he would support that compromise bill as well as a conservative bill that may be voted on so a great degree of confusion while thousands of children are in detention centers in various parts of counties lining the mexican border. now it's the final weekend of campaigning in turkey ahead of the parliamentary and presidential votes next week

tropics of southeast asia to the feral islands in the far north atlantic when i went to the women who crossed the world for love and stayed to change a community. of history. first met larry. really the most amazing critical period of time to country's leaders. john donald trump and the trans. hello i'm richard burton you're at the listening post here are some of the media stories we're covering this week donald trump diplomacy and the triumph of spectacle over substance india whatsapp and mob rule the consequences turned deadly once again fixers and the news business they are names you will seldom hear but they are central to the coverage of all kinds of stories and the

white house produces a propaganda video worthy of pyongyang and rolls it out for kim jong. il. in the television and internet age there's always an element of stagecraft to diplomacy and summit meetings the photo ops the soundbites the resulting communiques however to indelible images from two different summits could not have told more contrast in stories u.s. president donald trump defying vanna walking out on his allies at the g. seven summit in canada then getting down to business with north korean dictator kim jong un. who trump described as talented journalists found themselves covering a president who once again seemed to put more thought into the spectacle and the twitter feed he has at his disposal than actual political substance still even his critics have to hand it to him at least for the moment donald trump emerged with what he likes to call a deal that will denuclearize north korea the devil will be in the details the kind

that cannot be conveyed in two hundred eighty characters or fewer at this stage as they often are with this president the details are a bit sketchy our starting point this week is the site of the trump kim summit singapore. imagine someone making a prediction just a few years ago that an american president would meet one day face to face with the leader of north korea. and that during that event one of the two sides would roll out a video that reeks of propaganda heavy handed and crumbs a new world can be given to. a video that speaks of a chance at a new day a choice between the darkness and the light had you been told that that video would be produced not by pyongyang and be part of the. view but by washington for p.r.

yeah would you have believed that people and injured many people found the video to be bizarre including members of the media both of these leaders are propaganda artists within their own right. the president you'll recall rode down an escalator . and launched his candidacy for president in front of dozens of paid actors and they very much set the tone for how he sees the production of his presidency and kim jong un is not dissimilar certainly. because he operates in a place where he controls the media everything is controlled ultimately by the state featuring president donald trump who is a movie trailer as all the press is calling it and it was in the context so over the top it was compared by seven journalists to a promotional for real estate in terms of donald trump's business career can

history change the press apparently first thought it was a north korean propaganda film and yet it turned out it was produced in the united states by the trump ministry. of the back to back summits the g. seven meeting in canada and the subsequent bilateral in singapore the images that will endure are the still photograph. there was the symbolism contained in the trump kim hampshire and the potentially seismic shift but such an image conveyed. that came on the heels of a shot that appeared on the instagram account of the german chancellor angela merkel when the berlin would not have sent out likely it captures the unraveling of the g. seven trade talks and the body language seems to say it all. even if you're not in trump land images matter a lot international politics but what we see with the merc whole picture is that it shows her appearing to stare down donald trump who is in his characteristic you

know all arms crossed looking slightly petulant way and immediately critics of president trump say this is president trump isolated and so it feeds into that preexisting narrative for his supporters right it looks well this is how america should be with every other leader gathered around it so going to side american strength status and position in the dominance hierarchy the g seven the for going to do were for different points of view that we know the famous photo was the german for there was also a french. official photo a japanese official former american legion official for different points of view of the sea so that epitomizes the trade a sense and then shake hands shake but it's an eagerness a handshake is better seen through the video than the photograph because it was far more than a perfunctory or even normal range and the symbolic meaning of

a thirteen second handshake in this visual form is the establishment of a physical and therefore a personal bond between the two so the first image is one of alienation opposition and even international condemnation of trub the second is trouble claiming that he has in a sense made peace in the very first gesture of the second. the meeting of the u.s. president and the north korean leader was historic unprecedented there's no denying that but donald trump's declaration that the threat of a nuclear north korea had been eradicated is based on a brief vaguely worded joint statement it commits the two sides to further talks but there is no timeline offered and not a word on verification which matters because this isn't the first time north korean

leaders have agreed to stop their nuclear program they first did that more than twenty five years ago but each of those initiatives has fallen apart over the procedural details with verification often proving to be the sticking point the deal breaker donald trump the former reality t.v. star doesn't really do date he does it and while the absence of detail in the agreement has been reported upon the wider it tends to get overshadowed by the imagery generator at the summit in singapore the media spectacle the trump is happy to provide. it's. reality t.v. it's like this society of the spectacle and he's very good at it with trump we don't know what's going to happen and that's what makes it a small group and you as a journalist you should try to intersect you know cross reference the absolutely crazy news. i'm going to show is there any substance you know you

want world politics to be boring you want the policy to be boring that means it's working well. but human beings are drawn to a standard story as we grow up watching them on television whether it's game of thrones or breaking bad or empire where their personalities their immediate relationships are driving everything that happens and trump clearly you know that's what he thrives on but also what the media thrives on because it's easy to tell those stories but this is not the first administration to gage in negotiations with north korea president trying his predecessors have tried to at least open up a dialogue some of them have walked away with similarly big says of denuclearization so the question for the media as he put some of this spectacle behind what will ultimately set this deal apart from anything that president terms predecessors had sought to achieve what is that verification process even going to

look like. they are the kinds of questions the trump administration does not want to answer at this stage or camera so where does that leave the news media the reporters and pundits trying to make sense of it all in the realm of speculation presented as analysis i think you. want and that's the problem because analyzing a coherent policy is complicated enough analyzing a spectacle in the absence of a policy is a waste of time and runs the risk of normalizing the abnormal. every in. of everybody who goes on these kinds of programs really is what they have to make sense of the president well i think the most reasonable assessment you can make you score points by being able to give an insightful strategic rationale for the state wouldn't happen it was in the truck didn't happen under bush and i don't think any of that makes sense for trump these impulses are autocratic his decision making is he got he cares more about short term spectacle then he seems to care about long

term strategic planning trying to explain trump's behavior as if he were a normal president who did normal things which is what i've termed an academic ways analytic normalisation. trump is own normalise that he has his own rules and by now if you're doing t.v. interview for a journalist covering politics he should know that it's not a question of normalizing first trying to understand that he said pension spend is five seconds he's impulsive everything is walty he was seeking change in america to meet in we have to know how to decode that and put it in you know a realistic perspective because we're dealing with the real bone going experience but you have to make it to real for our readers and viewers. we're discussing other media stories that are on our radar this week with one of

our producers flo philips flow vietnam has just passed a new cyber security law how will that affect what is already a difficult climate for free speech their internet censorship isn't new to vietnam and should of the past year there be multiple arrests with bloggers jailed over discussions of politics environmental issues among other things but this new cyber security law is yet another tool the government can potentially use to limit dissent the law forbids anyone online from organizing anything with an anti state purpose spreading false information or undermining the nation's achievements according to amnesty international the sweeping powers it grants the government to monitor online activity means there is now no safe place left in vietnam for people to speak freely in the critics of this law are just talking about freedom of expression are there they're also talking about the economic implications why because another requirement of this law is its effect on global tech firms and we're talking here about the major players google facebook twitter all of whom will

now be required to store the personal data of their bit me as users locally so much like them having to open up servers in hong kong to store the data of the chinese uses tech companies now have to do the same vietnam for the estimated fifty five million bit emmy's who are on social media and that according to the asia internet coalition will stifle the growth of vietnam's digital economy the new cyber law takes effect on january first next year and in india there have been more cases of fear mongering over the messaging service what's leading to people actually getting killed what's the latest case as we've reported before richard india is what saps biggest market more than two hundred million users the spreading of false messages and fake news is common and it spreads very very quickly making it. well if not impossible for the or thirty's to debunk recently there's been a rash of child kidnapping stories and when two men asked for directions in

a small village in the state of assam they were attacked beaten to death by a mob who reportedly believed they were indeed the kidnappers they've been warned about on what's app they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time envy is what's our proves what specifically do they consist of what's actually being shared here people are citing messages that have been circulating about men disguising themselves as women to abduct children and remember one of the men killed did have long hair and then there have been various videos like this one that shows a child being kidnapped in it two men on a motorcycle pull up to a group of children one of them grabs a child and then they write off but the video isn't even real it may not even if the originated from india now at least eighteen people have been arrested in connection with the two killings and local mobile internet services were suspended for a day to try and stem what's at messaging for a while ok thanks will. we're going to take

a look now at the story behind the bylaws when a news article is published from a foreign country the byline tells us who wrote the television equivalent of that is the on air sign however few news organizations credit the fix the local hires secures that critical interview gets access to that all important location who helps navigate a story right with regional complexities fixers know the local news to reign and open doors few foreign correspondents ever catch on their own they're also part security specialist part editorial consultant they fact check stories and they do all of that sometimes putting themselves at risk but seldom get the recognition they deserve but this new post will young now on fixers so often the un song uncredited story behind the story. picks more often than not it's someone from the country who guides you who leads you to this story which turns out to be

a hoax or an exclusive. one suspect. the person is going to be arrangements they'll gain access to interviews gain access to space the pictures will also know if you have to meet down that way to. this position because he or she is from this country and they don't whether or not the situation is it is their language and their culture their contacts without the pictures you're not going to actually be able to how the story. watching journalists reporting from the feel like you're probably accustomed to seems like the. locals. will finally we have to. like what you see all the people behind the scenes the cameraman produces drive ins but especially the fixin's. for twenty five years in he not bill has been

a fixer in the philippines helping journalists navigate everything from filipino culture to natural disasters and political events the most important the trade. system no it's not an option so that means he'll have to exhaust. all possibilities to make something happen to fix or should also be like. your own us. how much people will let you in their lives. how much these people are willing to share with you or how much these people are willing to help you fix it i consider him as the eye of foreigners inside. as we say in arabic the stranger is even he has. khaled abu ali is a trained nurse and paramedic he's also been helping journalists cover stories in gaza for nearly two decades each culture has had bits.

different attitude and different behavior it's not a matter of a language only even an arabic journalist will come to the area and he's locked we're aware of what's going on. he need a fix or. the word fixer can sometimes carry negative connotations and it lacks the prestige of a job title like reporter or correspondent so when a fixer dies on the job they sometimes receive a posthumous promotion like iraqi fixer bakhtiar haidar who died in an explosion was covering attempts by iraqi forces to recapture the city of mosul from islamic state in death became a journalist. on the rare occasions when fixers do gain a public profile it's usually when they're arrested kidnapped or killed according to a report published by the international federation of journalists twenty four syrian yemeni and iraqi so called media professionals were killed during two thousand and

seventeen alone and in two thousand and fifteen in turkey vice reporters jake hammerhead and philip pendlebury were jailed by turkish authorities covering unrest in the predominantly kurdish city of d.r. . pendlebury and hanrahan were released in a matter of days but their fixer mohamed rasool spent more than four hundred months in a high security prison on trumped up charges of allegedly assisting the outlawed p.k. k. mosul dam is the front line that this murder took it back from their islamic state . when it comes to reporting complex conflict ridden news stories it's not just the fixers who find themselves in the front lines whenever any journalist camera man local producer or other media worker loses their life in a hostile environment it serves to highlight just how much fixers are relied upon not only to open doors but also to be aware of what dangers might lurk behind them

the fares they're mentioned. the security of the team who is coming from abroad it's to be one of his priority. that is sensitive and very important not only for him but also for the crew that he's working with especially if there is a conflict because to be. with conflict your mistakes will be the first. and only the life of the fix that will be but also the life of the other usually you are foreigners so sometimes it's even the first time you actually visit the country they're going to have to tell you what you can face where where are the danger and. for example they understand the language so there's a crowd in the crowd become aggressive. or or their pension in the air the picture will know when at this time to pull out their responsibilities have been varied but as budgets for international reporting a squeeze throughout the industry local journalists and fixes are increasingly

picking up the slack and while recognition of their work is growing so too is the debate. as a research manager of the global reporting center. focuses on the collected news stories around the world in two thousand and sixteen she coauthored a study which aimed to bring clarity to the grey area between the role of the conduct of the reporter i actually find that quite problematic and it's something that our research also showed because many of the fixers are actually local journalists they prefer to be called local journalists as well but then when foreign correspondent comes to a particular country then this local journalist assumes the role of the fixer the fixer recognizes the different roles and components into putting a story together the journalist is often blind to this terminology i think it is an adequate word why because their job is to fix things. not really have

a lot. of input when it comes to editorial issues unlike a producer the fixer will not come and say to you this is the way you're going to structure this story this is the way we have to interview this person and that person in order to balance the story we have to make sure that you know these two sides are represented the or they're given a voice in a certain report that is the job of a producer there is a very big difference between a picture and the producer a shared by line for the work that we do as. important allies and much appreciate but there are times when you operate on very delicate subject matter so. it is also good to have your name left out since the fixer who made the initial in this the fixer left behind long after the foreign journalist has their own country. has really received the recognition they deserve for ruling on don't to bring to the story

seems to be one of the few things things themselves cannot change. i'm really happy that this conversation is actually starting to take place i think that it's a conversation that has been taking place between fixers is a conversation that has been taking place with journalists as well but it's not a conversation that's been taking place between journalists and fixers nor between those who are producing the news and those who are consuming the news and this is a situation where somehow we think this news is just magically appearing and if we can have a better understanding of how news is created we're going to have a better understanding of what news is many people just know the international correspondent the news the byzantines you know but for. those who are working in the media you know that behind this is. people who are debating and making it easy for him god that. new article to

make a good story and to make a good reputation for the job. and finally we touched on that video that the white house played at the summit in singapore but really didn't do it justice it was four minutes long and not remotely subtle it talked of two leaders one destiny and the light of prosperity pictures of trump and kim were intercut with footage of galloping white horses waterfalls and bullet trains it was one part propaganda one part movie trailer or the type of video a real estate developer shows his prospective clients but this could have been a case of trump knowing his audience remember the north korean leader's father kim jong il was a movie buff hated america but was a fan of hollywood maybe it runs in the family trump says kim jong un watched it on an i pad and loved it was the next time at the listening post.

seven billion people that have a planet earth. of those alive today is small number lasting impact. and only the very few will make decisions or take actions that renew those their homeland and change the course of history and there comes a time when only a few are called upon to make a difference but the question is what difference will a few make just in the pictures presents a story opportunity a story a new beginning one of these two. leaders one just. a story of a special moment in time when a man is presented with one chance that may never be. one of the issues to show fish in leadership. or not oh.

seekers and what to do with them is at the center of a heated political debate in both the european union and the united states the trump administration is facing growing criticism over its policy of separating children from their parents as they crossed the us mexico border without documentation or have more on that in just a moment but first rights groups have accused the e.u. and its member states of putting the lives of refugees and migrants at risk after it's the end multitrack and away ships carrying hundreds of people who are seeking asylum. what's going to come out. and i don't know if. this is the moment that some of them were rescued off the coast of libya six hundred twenty nine people including more than one hundred unaccompanied minors and six pregnant women were taken on board the aquarius they had already spent twenty hours in overcrowded rubber dinghies before being plucked

from the sea now in the nearest ports of safety multi-lane it's the refused permission to dock the aquarius had to find other options say set a course for spain after the new prime minister petro sanchez offered to take the men to avert a humanitarian catastrophe eight days after being rescued nine days after they set off from libya they have now arrived in spain after an exhausting one thousand three hundred kilometer journey that spring in his compound hole was in valencia spain for a so called the aquarius is finally in valencia what happens now to the migrants. foly yes these migrants have finally reached draw a land and the focus by relief operations has certainly been on the humanitarian aspect of this tragedy but you can tell that each and every one of the relief workers we spoke to a getting increasingly frustrated by the political backdrop to this as well but

what they have told us today is that their thirst priority is to focus on the people here they say that a lot of these migrants and refugees was they were waiting transport in libya were tortured in detention centers some were even used to sex slaves and so focusing on those stories is been one of the issues that the oath or does it been looking at so that they can look and help the most vulnerable migrants as they arrive separate them and give them some of the psychological attention that they so need as well of course as giving them the routine medical checks and we did see some of the pregnant women being taken to hospital for checkups we saw other people who were exhausted coming down in wheelchairs as well but once those medical checks were complete then it was the turn of the spanish police they were registering and processing these migrants and that has been a meticulous but a slow process as well and that really starts what is going to be

a months long process what the authorities will do now is scrutinize the stories of each of the six hundred twenty nine migrants from twenty six different nationalities and see where these stories match up and see who they decide to give refugee status to because those who don't get refugee status could end up right back where they started from right and it may be the end of this particular episode combat certainly not the end of the migrant crisis nor the political debate around the issue in europe because bringing ships to spain is certainly not a solution to this long time crisis why how are they dealing in dealing with it at the european level. yeah i think that's a key issue to remember yeah great news that the aquarius and the to use to italian vessels were able to dock but this is just another episode in this european migration crisis you rightly say the relief organizations met sons home from doctors without borders and s.o.s.

meditate and they say that logistically it is just not possible to bring migrants who have been rescued from the coast of libya to ports in spain that's a fifteen hundred kilometer journey it means that it takes them away from the area where they are needed most off the coast of libya to save more lives what they also reject of course is the italian government's accusations that n.g.o.s are practically working as a ferry service for the migrants they say that they are not the cause of the migration crisis and they do say that this needs a political solution it's very tough to see where that political solution is going to come from thank you for that campaign whole life or is in valencia and this is a story that's been generating a lot of conversation online eloquence is trending on social media and tell us more now people are definitely soaking about it and it's been a makeshift reaction from spaniards mostly positive towards the ship's arrival this person for example says enough is enough looking the other way it could be us and

our kids who you know who knows maybe one day it will happen to us but not everyone agrees with that people for example this is a narrative that we've seen as well coming out of spain and it's been summed up in this tweet says with this popular move sanchez that is of course the prime minister of spain by the way was inflicted has inflicted rather more damage to spain in one week then is after terror in seven years and he's a former prime minister but political views aside there's been a human element to this story that's being shared on social media by those on the boats in fact six hundred journalists have been accredited to cover this story so there's been a fan of content is being shared online include. in this video. call this was the scene a few hours ago on board a choir as the refugees broke into song and on some very relieved and happy people upon seeing the spanish shuls on the horizon. and there's also been

a few glimpses of what life was like on the ship that's being shown through pictures like this one here which shows a poster and it says no to racism and it's got says on the on the aquarius we are all equal and has in several different languages so let everyone on the boat understand the situation there but this image is another one that i'd like to share with you and it's taken by photojournalist oscar corral it shows a diary entry in arabic written by one of the refugees that was on board i queerest and show picture here this is see say i will buckle from sarah in spanish journalists are and so she tweeted his photo and he told her about his journey through libya and he also showed her some documents which he called life documents he says he carries them like gold in case he died to see them at least said be able to identify him and those documents is one here which shows you a certificate of nursing and another one i'll just bring that back that shows you a stiff given to him during the crisis and he was

a volunteer taking part in not enough a picture that was quite enduring is showing this picture here of the relieved people who have been volunteers part of the organization s.o.s. military crew on arriving at the ports that just shows you them looking out see the horizon and despite being caught up in a political storm people on board the ship found time also to praise god. now in valencia a huge banner has been for top of the port saying welcome home in various languages including counsel and the local language as well as our bake and people so i have been lining up on the sides of the rides with banners saying no human being is illegal well we want to hear your thoughts on this issues do you get. mites with the handle if it's sarah thank you very much for that and the fate of migrants is

also at the center of a heated political debate in the united states says part of donald trump's new zero tolerance policy thousands of children have been separated from their parents at the us mexico border and it is this image of a two year old honduran asylum seeker that has struck a nerve and gone viral on social media and on the cover of newspapers it shows the girl crying as her mother was searched and detained at the texas border the white house is defending the practice as a way to send a message to future asylum seekers that if they don't want to be separated from their children don't bring them more now from our colleagues at a.j. past. been dad were having their input been taken away from them because they're playing by and we are guarding those children for life by taking them away and institutionalize.

the democrats forced. on our nation i i hate to see separation and there. are my colleagues on the other side of the aisle that are willing to stand up to their party leadership to their president as we did. children can be taken care. of and. democrats can come to us

and they can change the whole border security we need a wall we need border security we got to get rid of catch and release. they control the white house the house. of commons and they set out to do if they care that they don't. joining us now on the news great is michelle brown a she's the director of migrant rights and justice of the women's refugee commission she's i skype from washington d.c. michelle thank you so much for being with us you know we heard earlier from a rescuer in spain who was telling us about the way they process the migrants who

arrive and she said the most important thing was not to split families and this is clearly not what been happening in the u.s. you've just returned i understand from an immigration detention center in macau in texas tell us michel about what you saw and what you heard why you with a well it's exactly the opposite of what you just heard from that humanitarian worker in regards to the focus here in the united states by this administration has been to separate families and to separate as many families as they can and what i observed at the border on thursday and friday was families being processed they're separated immediately upon entering the border patrol station and then children are sent off to shelters but in the meantime they're held in a processing center which is entirely inappropriate for children they're literally being held in.
