long before lady liberty graced new york harbor its waters teamed with oysters sustaining generations of native american cabinet out in the water scientists along with volunteers are now attempting to return new york's waterways to their former glory as part of the billion oyster project in the fixed and hundreds it was tough to navigate the waters because there are so many mystery it's over two hundred twenty thousand acres so this is a project that is native to new york the story. this site in brooklyn is one of the eleven where the project is attempting to recreate reefs with shells collected from local restaurants and baby oysters some from farms on the east coast others grown at a local school with the help of students by nineteen zero six new yorkers had a in every last oyster their reefs had been dredged up or covered in silt and the water quality was too poor for their regeneration it stayed that way until one thousand nine hundred seventy two in the passage of the clean water act which

prohibited dumping sewage and waste into the harbor even now the waters aren't clean enough to eat what lives there but he always to reef have huge benefits for the local ecosystem. i have a little superhero very tiny but they pack a punch and they really they provide such habitat for in the biodiversity of new york harbor nicholas jacobson helped make the metal cages that create the reefs and volunteered to help place them in the water the oysters slide in like a file cabinet so in the city there's not many options to really connect with nature it's mostly concrete and steel. but this really gives an opportunity within the city to kind of connect with nature and. i guess just give back to the environment because we do take a lot and when it comes to the health of new york's waterways cultivating that connection may be just as important as cultivating oysters kristen salumi al-jazeera brooklyn new york. at the venice film festival movie premieres and big

the listening post here are some of the stories we're covering this week inquiring minds prosecutors and the american news media all want to know what does the man in charge of the national enquirer have on donald trump out of amsterdam and into dar fool the radio station the news and information to citizens left in the dark facebook takes down another twenty accounts in me and maher among them the commander in chief of the armed forces and no one can read the mind of the white house press secretary but we can read her lips i just can't stand the faces of the people that the question in washington these days is not just where is the mall or investigation into president donald trump going but who is next after seeing both his lawyer michael cohen and a central figure in his business empire alan weiss will burke agree to cooperate with prosecutors in exchange for immunity trump then learned that david pecker

a long time friend and a key media player had done the same that there is the chairman of american media inc am i which owns the national enquirer or a. the tabloid not known for stellar journalism the enquirer is part of the trump story not just because of the stories it published but because of the ones that didn't the practice is known as catch and kill it works like this if someone had a potentially damaging story about donald trump for sale the enquirer would buy it and bury it so that that bad news would never see the light of day what about the legal precedent though a newspaper under investigation so that prosecutors argue the enquirer is no news outlet it's a political tool our starting point this week is new york city. they're dropping like flies flipping like pancakes one by one some of donald trump's

closest confidants have become witnesses for the possible prosecution of the president and those people are michael cohen who is trump's longtime personal attorney and his longtime fixer and you also now have ellen white's o'berg who wasn't the c.f.o. of the trump organization and was sort of the guy who took care of trump's money david packer who would headed the group that owned the national enquirer and kept a lot of time secrets so you have the guy get rid of his legal troubles the guy who got rid of his money problems and the guy who got rid of his scandals now are cooperating in these investigations and the notion now that david pecker might flip on downturn is a surreal huge development i don't think you can overstate it because the fact of the matter is i think these two guys know a lot about each other and if one of them starts talking about the other one in this case the publisher talking about the president there is no end where that will

go but it cannot be good for donald trump. the publication the david pecker controls the national. inquirer holds a unique c.d. place in the american media landscape founded in one thousand nine hundred twenty six it's a supermarket tabloid and it goes where other papers do not openly paying sources for stories of the most sensational kind joining the two thousand and sixteen presidential election campaign the enquirer's support for donald trump was flagrant lauded the candid went after his republican rivals with dubious allegations and then did the same with hillary clinton. the enquirer's journalism was not worthy of having an effect on the election's outcome however given its visibility it may well have been the national enquirer is a trashy political she tabloid it's not even political but most of its coverage is about celebrity scandals half of which are not true however it does have

a prominent place in u.s. culture both for the kind of just pleasure of reading the fallacious gossip that it propounds and also because physically in all supermarkets across the nation the national enquirer is found right at the checkout line the cover of the national enquirer is seen by millions and millions of people who are low information voters who don't even need to buy the magazine and they read the headline and they think at least a lot of them do that is at least credible if not totally or real that's something you literally cannot purchase it was very obvious the national enquirer through donald trump's friendship with david backer was an arm of the trump campaign in fact they were doing things that the campaign would never dream of trying to get away with. the national enquirer is also where stories go to die when those stories are potentially damaging to donald trump in august of two thousand and

sixteen just months before the election the enquirer paid a former playboy model karen mcdougal one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. for her story of an affair with trunk the agreement stipulate that macdougall could not tell her story to anyone else but the enquirer never published it caught the story then effectively killed it and the paper did the same with the story alleging trumpeted fathered a child out of wedlock in the late one nine hundred eighty s. and those are just the catch and kill stories involving trump and the enquirer that we know about no one would be shocked if there were. white david pecker does is he buys the rights to those stories but that he never publishes those stories those stories never see the light of day he keeps them in a safe but in return david packard gets other things from trump other stories other bits of gossip and he trades on that with donald trump if you go out and pay

a substantial amount of money for a story and then you put that story aside you kill it during the course of a campaign you're effectively making a campaign contribution if we've got a circumstance where information that would be of interest to the great mass of people has been pulled out of the process and hidden on behalf of a particular candidate it's hard not to see that as beneficial to the candidate so they are both responsible for burnishing his reputation as well as for making sure that negative coverage of him did not come to light so the fact that pecker is now working for the investigation means that all of the knowledge of those stories and we only know a couple but it's likely that there's more are now going to become known by the investigators into trump and into potential collusion. how worried is donald trump about what kind of stories the enquirer has under lock and key according to the new york times very reported this past week the trump tried to buy those stories from

just prior to the two thousand and sixteen election but then an agreement between him and david pecker was never reached and trump isn't. the only american concerned by the fact that the inquirer is under investigation and the potential legal precedent this case could set newspapers even ones like the enquirer are constitutionally protected under the first amendment which guarantees freedom of the press i believe in a very broad interpretation of the first amendment and that even a gossip publication they have a full right to invoke those protections because it is often on the margins that stories that need to be told are first told and so i think we still have to be very conscious of the right of editors and publishers writers to assert freedom of the press protections while this might not be a news flash to everybody but the national enquirer doesn't do journalism you know

there's a big difference between being biased and someone's behalf and doing their dirty work working with their fixer michael cohen to shut people up who might have negative stories about donald trump the claim here is that the national enquirer was affectively making a campaign contribution to donald trump and that would be a violation of our campaign finance laws. donald trump first rose to prominence decades ago in new york for that he had the city's tabloids to thank his brash persona suited the daily news and the new york post far better than the new york times they could not get enough of. these days the times is among the outlets trump targets they are the fake just testing. and labels the enemy of the american people. now as the prosecutors appear to be

closing in on the biggest threat posed to the present comes not from the times c.n.n. or the washington post it comes from a tabloid and all the news that the national enquirer did not consider fit to print . we're looking at other media stories that are on our radar this week with one of our producers will yong will facebook has taken down twenty accounts in me and maher including some belonging to senior government officials who are they well undoubtedly the biggest name among them is the commander in chief of mammals armed forces senior general playing others taken down include more military think is and the army controlled neal want a t.v. channel and this comes off through a un report recommending that six military leaders including general men be investigated by the international criminal court in the hague for their part in genocide crimes against humanity and the war crimes against range of muslims now

additionally facebook has removed dozens more accounts of the so-called in authentic behavior which in this case refers to pushing the messages of the myanmar military under the guise of independent news and commentary and this isn't the first time that facebook has had to scramble to salvage its reputation in me and maher over its role in politics there is no it isn't earlier this year facebook banned a number of ultra nationalist buddhist monks from the side anti muslim hate speech but still just two weeks ago reuters published a report showing that hundreds of posts calling for violence against muslims was still accessible and remember that facebook is basically synonymous with the internet and neon lights that dominant and un investigators say hate speech hosted by the. platform played a determining role in violence that has driven seven hundred thousand rangers across the border into bangladesh facebook for its part has admitted not for the first time that it's been too slow to respond to the problem moving on to the u.k.

now the broadcast regulator in britain has ruled that a television channel sky t.v. has broken the rules by airing advertisements that were paid for by the government of saudi arabia what's the story there and it relates to the visit of saudi crown prince mohammed bin someone to the u.k. five months ago now during his three day visit a minute long t.v. ad for saudi arabia's vision twenty thirty project appeared fifty six times on the british t.v. channels sky one the ad was a polished presentation of a country ushering in big changes in the fields of culture society and the economy and the takeaway message was that partnership with britain brings benefits to both countries but the u.k. broadcast regulator ofcom ruled this week that the adviser lated regulations on paid political advertising stating that it was a quote intended to influence public opinion in the u.k. on matters of public controversy and at the time of been some months visit there were protests and questions in parliament regarding britain's strong support for

saudi arabia despite its poor human rights record and the devastating saudi led war in yemen so that's the ruling what about the consequences though will there be lasting repercussions from this decision it would seem not sky says the ad was cleared by the advertising industry screening service clear cost which disagreed with off comes ruling arguing that the ad was promoting trade with saudi arabia which they said was in line with british foreign policy but saudi arabia and other countries will have to think twice before running similar ads in the future and sky will have to do the same before airing them thanks will. it's been more than fifteen years now since the conflict in darfur in western sudan began but there's no end in sight to the fighting the government continues its attacks on insurgents and the region's non arab and african civilians a campaign that the united nations has called a genocide one that has led to the international criminal court's indictment of sudanese president omar al bashir however with the authorities preventing

journalists going in and information coming out darfur has turned into a black hole for news as a result one broadcaster has proven to be critically important radio banga beaming in from amsterdam to remain beyond the reach of government censors the station has become a rare source of independent news for what it says are its more than three million daily listeners but the broadcasters funding is drying up meaning that the bank that could soon see its doors closed for good listening posts joanna who's now from amsterdam on the role of radio de bangor in a region that has seen its media environment blacked out by design. and home economics to be. for a family on the run in darfur unsure of whether the next village will be any safer

than the one they just fled to. radio the community difference between life and death and i know we. must have a new deal but i don't know what he. will do you know i don't want. this small station run like max outdoor for thousands of miles away has been trying to keep those back on safe as well as providing listeners with much needed insight into one of the most sealed off regions in the world editor in chief kemal saadi. banga has become much more than just a short wave radio station. it's become the lungs with which sudanese people breathe by reporting on security safety displacement health issues fundamental to the survival of sudanese people for example there was a cholera outbreak count which the government denied claiming it was severe

diarrhea didn't just create awareness and also offered advice. when the war was raging in darfur we were informing people where the fighting was taking place so they had information on how to get to safety technically debunker has saved their lives when. other media outlets in sudan a sense of the benghazi location in amsterdam allows its journalists to report freely the government and its state media the darfur crisis is over but the bank tells a different story a report on the absence of security the poor conditions in the camps the number of victims casualties the number of those displaced the government doesn't want that side of the crisis to come out. here with my little while and it's a known fact that they've created

a total media blackout but millions of darfur we want to know what's happening around them unfortunately none of the mainstream media here will cover the conflict but because radio to banga operates from outside and those providing the station with information are unknown to the authorities it makes it much safer for them to do that work. that network of citizen journalists often under cover as well as ordinary civilians i want to bang on to produce its reports for their phones and social media they send information back to the bank has had quarters in one. shedding light on a region that the government prefers to keep in the dark. gloomy and we receive more than one hundred calls a day and hour to bungle what zob can get up to one thousand messages that it's all preliminary information that our wide network of reporters on the ground in verifies and authenticates only after careful investigation do we publish stories

this is what gives its credibility and fame when we report to the people in sudan we support our news with evidence from the ground the more. radio the bungles dependence on civilians the sources of information has been used by president omar al bashir is that ministration to discredit this station. ever since the bangas launch in two thousand and eight khartoum has gone to great lengths to silence the broadcaster questioning its credibility or even cutting its signal the government body that regulates the media is the national council for press and publications according to its secretary general the bonga is in the business of spreading fake news there are no women. it's fundamentally important for the credibility of news that all sources must be verified as well as objective void of any personal or ulterior motives much or maybe most of the mangas news items lack such veracity this was most evident in two thousand and fourteen when

they spread it wrong as news reports about the alleged massacre in the area of to. those alleged mass rapes cause widespread hysteria but when proper investigations were conducted by unbiased governmental organizations the information turned out to be false. there was a mass rape of girls and women over two hundred ordered by the regular army commander nearby. the story itself and the nature of this extraordinarily barbaric act and who ordered it that all came originally from radio to bangor. some of the details had to be corrected but human rights watch a number of months later would confirm everything that radio to bangor was reporting who is to say that a mistake is by me who is the who is the alternative source of information.

there is one night nation's an african union joint peacekeeping mission in darfur you know mitt but there have been serious questions about the accuracy and credibility of its reports the operation was set up in two thousand and seven to protect civilians and monitor the situation on the ground but in two thousand and thirteen its former spokesperson i shall bust three blew the whistle saying that for years you know mit used every trick to conceal the truth about the liberal government bombings mass killings and forced displacement of unarmed civilians. on the day that he was that the un african union mission is an important source of information in for i don't believe it paints the complete picture because these very same organizations have interests that converge with that of the sudanese government surely provides us with significant information because journalists can't access the area at all but there is agencies for short of giving us

a comprehensive picture of the situation. the un african union mission in dar for its. almost worthless as a reporting source unum had just lied shamelessly claimed that they've been completely successful all their goals have been achieved there was no fighting just small arms banditry. this was nonsense and they knew it was nonsense but they couldn't afford to say publicly just how great the failure was they won't say anything that khartoum doesn't allow them to say and in that sense without the lifeline of radio to bang the news. the lives and livelihoods of people in darfur are deep deep risk despite the critically important rule that radio de bunga plays for sudanese audiences the broadcaster now finds its future under threats the station relies on funds from a consortium of e.u.

states and n.g.o.s the european governments are now working with the sudanese authorities to fight terrorism and to stem the flow of refugees heading north and that is having serious effects on the station's funding it's drying up which could mean that radio debunk us days are numbered in the old war are easier to be the crux of the issue is the collaboration between the sudanese government and the international community whose priorities have shifted substantially terrorism and immigration seem to be their only priority nowadays and issues like press freedom have taken a backseat if we do have to bangalore to close not only would citizens lose their daily dose of information it would be a great loss to press freedom in sudan and thirty of them saw forgive us all done i think without regard to bangor we lose touch with. what's happening in darfur because there are no journalists because there's no human rights reporting presence we don't have any way of knowing where people are starving where malnutrition is

says it's because pakistan isn't taking enough action against the kurds or is it all just part of putting america first also on the grid the fighting in libya is getting worse is causing panic amongst the locals and it is complicated so we try to break it down for you and explain why countless groups are battling it out on the streets of the capital tripoli and the asian games come to their conclusion in indonesia but maybe it's just stuff for the host nation we're looking at whether the world's second largest multi-sport event can be an effective springboard for the big one the olympic games success on social media is often measured by how many followers you have but anyone who gets more than five thousand in egypt may now find themselves blocked i'm leo harding playing wide later connected us to the hash tag aging instead of.

you with the news grid live on air and streaming online through you tube facebook live in at al-jazeera dot com the been threatening to do it for a while and now the u.s. is pushing ahead with plans to scrap three hundred million dollars in military aid to pakistan the reason well washington doesn't think its longtime ally is doing enough to stamp out groups within its borders groups like the taliban and actually the u.s. thinks they may even be giving them safe haven pakistan denies this and actually points to its long time fight against what it calls extremism all of this is sure to dominate discussions when u.s. secretary of state mike heads to islamabad on whedon's day he will meet pakistan's new prime minister and calm more from islamabad. the move by the usa. need to go down rail spatially because that in a new government in an. already that they will have a more independent dependent on the u.s. alone although it would like to continue to

a relationship with the united states. to be based on mutual respect. have already rejected the drum. and. root of the problem the american. who will be reneging at. the going. far enough down if. perhaps this all sounds familiar and that's because the trumpet ministration has actually been steadily cutting back on foreign assistance and funding just friday it was announced the us would stop sending money to the united nations agency for palestinian refugees. in his first week in office way back then trump signed an executive order stopping federal funding to any foreign non-government organization that offered abortion services or even advice that decision had a significant impact on health workers in africa or providing reproductive health

services to women and tramples or withdrew the us from the united nations cultural agency unesco accusing it of having an israel bias. in washington following this one for us i wonder if this is all just part of america first this is what the trump voters wanted the united states to stop sending money outside the country and concentrate within its own borders. yeah that's right it really is part of his america first slogan as it was during the campaign and make america great you know it's interesting come all because normally politicians use campaign slogans just does that a slogan and then once the campaign is over that slogan goes away this hasn't been the case necessarily with donald trump he's found out that this america first make america great slogan that he used as something that he's using as president as well let's just take the pakistan example of the cutting of the three hundred million dollars in aid that you just spoke about there it works well for the trump

administration or the administration thinks it works well for the multiple levels because secretary of state mike pompei oh can go to islamabad as he's planning to do this week and he can talk the pakistanis say the reason we're cutting the aid is because of the u.s. government's view that pakistan isn't doing enough to have this so-called safe havens for the taliban and other such armed groups that's what pompei o can say but trump can be back in the united states a campaign rallies and he can tell his supporters we cut foreign aid because we want to use that money back here at home to make america great again and that's going to get a lot of applause from his supporters so it's a slogan that really can be used in multiple ways and you're seeing this it was a lot of promises during the campaign to cut foreign aid and that's exactly what trump is doing now as president so in a lot of ways it's not much of a surprise i just wonder gabriel you know we obviously as an international news

channel we look a lot at what the united states is doing on the world stage do these things even sort of make a mention at home unless it's russia i wonder if international issues like this are considered a big deal. they are i mean it depends what it is of course but but they are and let's just take a look at some of the things that trump promised when it came to foreign policy during the campaign he said he'd move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem that's a big deal here with a lot of people in the united states trump did that so he considers that a win his supporters consider that when he said he'd reverse obama's policies on cuba and he did that he said he'd stop the trans pacific partnership trade deal he did that and then finally he said he would pull out of the paris climate change agreement and he did that trump is someone that very much likes to tick the boxes so to speak because a lot of these things well his supporters might not care about all of these issues

individually they care that he is or that they perceive that he is following through on his campaign promises and that's what trump is doing here with foreign policy and when he pulled out of the paris climate agreement he said i was voted not to be the president of paris but to be the president of people from pittsburgh so gives you an idea how he's kind of reverting back to his very much nationalistic policies that. made him become president in paris palestine pakistan it's all happening with p. countries and i would thank you know in washington d.c. i mentioned this briefly that at the start of the year we actually heard donald trump's disquiet over pakistan that's when we first heard it and the pakistani columnist rafi is a cannier wrote this opinion piece back then wishy august trumps decision to cut aid and it was a smaller amount of aid that was cut then only benefited other players in pakistan's political scene every it's a bit of context who benefits from pakistan's loss of u.s.

i it is in the opinion section at al-jazeera dot com. i'm sure you have an opinion on this story at home with you in pakistan the united states or any country affected by the u.s. withdrawing foreign aid has a news group it might be on twitter at a.j. english is where we're tweeting from you can reply to our thread them use the hashtag so we can find your replies at facebook dot com such al-jazeera the live stream is up and running jeff amongst yourselves chat directly to us if you hike or hop on your phone plus not sinful five one triple one or nine telegram we've got a telegram channel and that's up and running on whatsapp as well. right now we're moving on to germany actually another twenty people injured in the eastern german city of ten that's where far right protests have been springing up quite a lot in the last week police stepped in to break things up as anti immigrant groups faced off with counts of demonstrations things have been tense to say the least to the fatal stabbing of a german man allegedly by

a syrian and iraqi last sunday leo where does this get its fuel from does it does it build online and then come out into the streets like this it definitely does a lot of these protests are organized online and in the weeks since the stabbing we continue to register a lot of activity part of the day at the moment is about whether it's fair to refer to everyone who participated in the anti migrant demonstrations as neo nazis tashi here says that that is dishonest such rhetoric she argues will only add to deep divisions among germans nobody likes nazis she says an anti semites and it's a shame that there is no other outlet for concerned decent citizens but no bua here asks if you are not outraged by the ongoing fascist anti immigration protests and chemists germany what does that say about you and her question is at the heart of the debate now and many of the tweets we found the term middle offer that that term just keeps showing up frank jordan's here he's an a.p.

reporter and germany he explained this in a tweet saying that after world war two most germans claimed they were not nazis technically they may have been true he says only one in ten germans were members of the nazi party but middle offer refers to the many who marched along to much of that sentiment comes from marches like this one demonstrators chanting we are the warriors we are the fans of hitler. the was was the was the was the of a syrian refugee in germany told us how a friend of his was stabbed and that part of the problem he says is that the attacks on migrants are under reported in the media as an immigrant in germany i don't really have to fear but i'm paying more attention to what's going on around me. where i lived is the new so many. immigrant therefore there
