a national election or a new vote which could include a choice of not leaving europe at all having first see all those fever there was no doubting which way the vote was going to go. gradually it seems the time it is turning we know already that the e.u. leaders would definitely extend the article fifty precess if we were to have. a face on the deal or indeed general election they wouldn't interfere in the democratic process and make us go away from the line during that time so really that's not a worry what we need to do is to make sure that we do have that option so that it's the people of this country having the final say and not just a few politicians most labor m.p.'s who support breck's that haven't turned up this week and they worry that a u.-turn could alienate their own constituents who voted to leave this veteran looked suddenly like a stranger in his own policy when seventeen in the million people vote we know that

the conviction and those are the headlines on al-jazeera do stay with us as the listening post is coming up next thank you very much for watching. they live in a country plagued by poverty but for india's billionaires life is only the glamour luxury and pristine. wonder when east meets the new maharajah on al-jazeera. in the far west of china will receive three. hundred dollars. for. each kerry come home find person doesn't have someone in their family this. alarm richard burton you're at the listening post here are some of the stories we're covering this week we're focusing on the world's biggest media market china two reports one on shin john

what the media can report from there and what they cannot and we take you to one joe and inside the southern media group a once thriving journalistic enterprise up against new realities political and economic the need to campaign makes its mark in german media with an egyptian angle and the weather channel opens the visual floodgates on hurricane florence we begin with a story coming out of china that beijing clearly doesn't want out there reporting on it could mean a one way ticket out of the country it already has for one foreign correspondent and chinese journalists have it worse threats violence in some cases prison sentences the story is the alleged mass incarceration of weekers and other turkic muslim minorities more than a million of them in the shin jong wigger a top of this region and twenty three million people there are now being tracked by a high tech surveillance system the chinese media echo their government security narrative on this that the measures are necessary given separatist movements in the

area prone to violence and the terminology can be telling what the international media called internment camps forced indoctrination the chinese media described as political education centers counter extremism training schools. our starting point this week is the resource rich news rich region of shinji. it's not as though she is a black hole for news if it was it would be a big one since the region is twice the size of germany what shouldn't giong is is a black hole for a certain kind of. the official narrative and has always been it was a backward feudal region and the communist party went n. the one nine hundred fifty s. and restructured both the social and economic hierarchy is there that has been a pretty ironclad narrative in two thousand and nine that change

a little bit there where these deadly ethnic riots between han chinese the majority ethnic population in china and the muslim leaders and several hundred people at least died according to state media that served as a psychological and legal justification for many of the security measures and surveillance measures that we see today satellite images prove china's government has built hundreds if not more detention camps and although they're also expanding and hundreds of thousands of people are there just for being weaker or being turkic and being most of them not because they have committed any acts of violence or terrorism the government has been very clear the chinese government and the way they see this they perceive they have a problem that could also be a security threat they believe that there are radical elements who have infiltrated the population and convince people that they should have an independent homeland and this is this kind of separatism and also. extremism.

china's government has reason to be cautious over she enjoyed since the ethnically driven unrest that flared up in two thousand and nine there has been periods. violence and bloodshed attributed to negro movements including one attack at the heart of the capital tiananmen square beijing's response however putting a community of eleven million people under surveillance incarcerating so many in the name of indoctrination has been wildly disproportionate china's government argues it's out to stop what it calls the three forces separatism extremism and terrorists and china's media apparatus has adopted that term parroting it in the same unquestioning way much of the us media did with the so-called war on terror it will continue to don't change.

beijing's man in shin jaw chan one war was made party boss there after having cut his teeth in another ethnic trouble spot to bet he has adapted some of the security measures used in tibet to shin jobs including a clear focus on surveillance and technology. things like police checkpoints every few hundred meters forcible checking of people's mobile phone devices of their laptops on as well as surveillance by things like iris scans facial recognition cameras and d.n.a. chats we have many readers who are saying that they're simply been called in because they exchanged text messages or shared an e-mail several years ago that contained religious content and now they're being called enter education are being questioned at a detention camp for that very small action you can wander around some of the residential neighborhoods where we go community is where one is concentrated and find them to be completely deserted there's no charges no trial people just sort of

disappear into these places for many months at a time and even longer. mego rajagopal it has her own story to tell she is one of the very few foreign reporters who managed to get into shin jong to report on the situation. just weeks after her piece was published by buzz feed she was expelled from the country chinese officials want to limit information and imagery coming out of the region controlling access is central to their strategy but there are some cameras they cannot control the ones in space for the satellite photos of the detention centers and featured in the international media will not be seen on chinese television domestic reporters there are tightly controlled as a weaker journalist say tof reports on the story from washington he is the director of the u.s. funded radio free asia as we go serve. it is impossible for a week or reporters on the ground there to do any kind of reporting on those issues

because we have already reported ourselves that now we go rioters and we are scholars who in any way spoken out against china's repressive policies have been detaining this camps but for chinese journalists this is an extremely sensitive subject they are required to follow the chinese government's a line they have to repeat the same thing so they cannot independently report on what is happening literally. so in the west we expect the press to be investigative too to show us all the holes in what is generally a democracy but in china it's very different there's this close association between the press and the government as seen through the eyes i think of the china chinese government i mean you can look at chinese history over the many many centuries any time the center is not strong basically make it five times out of you know

different parts of china so they're determined that their press will not become something that divides country and needs to be something that unites it. oficial it's the people. republic of china but the voice that matters more than any other belongs to president xi jinping president xi has had no qualms in telling chinese journalists and the news outlets they work for the media's ultimate loyalty must be to the state not the story and beijing's interest in what happens in shin jong isn't just political it's economic the state lies in the pathway of the belt and road initiative a mammoth infrastructure and development project championed by president xi to create a vast international trade network centered around china its location is very strategic because it sits between much of eastern china and the countries of central asia.

and xinjiang is home to about a fifth of china's total reserves it's also a biggest producer of coal as a region it's vitally vitally important from an energy security perspective to china. and this explains this kind of obsessive desire for stability in that region at the cost of things like basic individual rights so as not to upset its economic development plans both at home and abroad. she jinping has been president for six years now his burgeoning power and influence have been compared to mousey dongs who once said the role and power of newspapers consists in their ability to present the party's line it's specific policies goals and work methods to the masses half a century later. for the media outlets that spread the word those same rules still

apply. we're discussing other media stories that are on our radar this week with one of our producers nephi chart this past week the german broadcaster deutsche chevelle i confirm that allegations of sexual harassment made against one of its employees had quote proven credible unquote the network did not name that employee however the stories generated a ton of interest what can you tell us all richard it's widely suspected the vets and truly the egyptian journalist and t.v. host your three fouda a face known to audiences across egypt for its coverage of the two thousand and eleven revolution and critical reporting of the military food of formerly what for b.b.c. arabic and for this network al-jazeera and later on t.v. in egypt he left the country and became the host of a show called the fifth estate on which of ella in two thousand and sixteen and that's where the alleged sexual harassment is said to have taken place now want to

achieve l a didn't name food in relation to this case it did confirm to the associated press that he no longer works for them what have we heard from food to himself on this before don't you read a comment posted on facebook that the accusations were baseless londa and later that they were part of a smear campaign which is perhaps the reference to where these allegations originated on the pages of a pro-government newspaper in cairo a young with that but since then we both see heard from valid that they consider the allegations credible and also from one of the accused delhi outfront who wrote on facebook that food had harassed her at his home and but then in two thousand and sixteen ok moving on this past week one of the biggest names in u.s. publishing time magazine was bought out it joins a long list of struggling news outlets taken over by tech billionaires from the west coast of the u.s. what's in the deal so the billionaires in question are marc benioff c.e.o.

of sales force and his wife lynn benioff and the price they paid was one hundred ninety million dog. which is actually a lot of money for a magazine that reportedly sorts of scription drop by around twenty five percent in the last year and as you said richard this is part of a trend wealthy west coast patrons throwing financial lifelines at big legacy media outlets amazon c.e.o. jeff bezos that was the washington post in two thousand and thirteen the atlantic and the n a times of also seen similar kinds of investments let's look at the long term what can these tech investors bring to help news outlets that are struggling to adapt to the digital age the media executives tend to get very excited about these kinds of deals and it's easy to see why they represent a validation of that journalism the print industry in general and more importantly they provide an injection of much needed cash for the by the visibility and influence that comes with owning one of these historic print publications even if

they're not necessarily great investments and most cynical take of course is that they're just vanity purchases like buying a football team but for the news industry the bigger question is this given the broken business model.
