even before the attack. will be out of the box so while his opponents were debating each other on global and he did an interview on a rival net which then revealed it was back before calling it a night though he spent a little time on facebook live talking to his supporters on the device that has driven his campaign change brazilian politics and the way it is covered this fall. we're discussing other media stories that are on our radar with one of our producers not far tarek this past week a prominent saudi journalist a dissident disappeared in stamboul give us the details behind the case for that journalist is jamal khashoggi a former newspaper editor and commentator who fled saudi arabia last year the fears for his safety he'd been banned from writing and tweeting by the saudi authorities and went into self exile in the u.s. here's what we know about his disappearance this past tuesday if you visited the

site he confident in istanbul to take care of what should have been some routine paperwork his fiance was waiting for him outside the several hours later he'd get to re-image so she raised the alarm and called the police since then the consulate is issued a statement to the saudis they need agencies saying she left the building and that they are following up on media reports of his disappearance turkish government officials say they think he's been inside now give us an idea of what kind of things he's been writing about and where so much of crucial g.'s work over the past year has been an english is a frequent contributor to the washington post and a critic of saudi's powerful crown prince mohammed bin sandman the crown prince who sold himself as a reformer who's modernizing the kingdom in reality he's overseen a repressive campaigns to find its critics and potential challenges intellectuals journalists women's rights activists even princes in the royal family have been

rounded up and imprisoned and in his piece is quite shocked he spoke out against what was happening in the country but its criticism was always measured and following his disappearance the washington post published a blank column in support of its contributor it bull has shot g.'s byline and the headline a missing voice on to washington now where this past week president donald trump accuses china of meddling in the upcoming u.s. midterm. elections then he goes on twitter and he points out what he calls propaganda ads in a newspaper somewhere in iowa what's the story so it's not often that a local paper like the des moines register becomes the focus of an international trade wall but that's what happened when it published a full page suffer produced by another paper state run china daily that featured stories on the mutual benefits of u.s. china trade if trump has a point that this isn't john that's an advertising designed to look like john it can be difficult for readers to distinguish between the two but the paper's

executive editor carol hunter so the china daily was clearly mots and that quote iowans smart enough to see this for what it is it's an advertiser buying access to an audience so describing this is election meddling is not just a bit of a stretch on the president's part it's also slightly hypocritical isn't that it is because while it's true that government run outlets like china daily or international broadcast of the g.t.a. and what to promote beijing's view to the rest of the world the u.s. government operates a few of its own news outlets that do the same thing u.s. has invested billions of dollars over the years in outlets like radio free asia and voice of america which explicitly to promote so called american values and they're not slipping in since a local paper there on the f ok thanks dark. we're turning now to dispatches from what they call the virtual war zone a story about the perils of online journalism reporters have always had to defend

their work but the trolling of journalists has grown commonplace and many female media professionals are dealing with the kind of hate messages that men will never see comments about their gender appearance sexuality the language can be ugly and violent threats of sexual assaults and rape have grown disturbingly common because for trolls hiding behind an online profile is not difficult and the anonymity of social media has made the dissemination of abuse and hate as easy as a simple click the listening post spoke with two journalists maria ressa in the philippines and segre rica goetia in india about their experience with online harassment and the impact it has had on their work and their wellbeing also talking us through this story hannah storm the director of an organization the trains reporters on how to stay safe both on and off the web.

i you used to be a war zone correspondent but in a war zone you know where the enemy is you know what you need to prepare for you know how to stay safe. in this new landscape. this is intimate you take it home with you you wake up with it it's with you all the time. i've been attacked as a communist operative a cia agent every kind of word that you can think of for. war and i'm all. for an hour i mean you name it and it's been thrown at me. as a journalist i'm used to defending the work i do but how do you respond when someone threatens you with rape when someone wants you dead inundated with the barracks are

paid to the vitriol words calling you things like prostitute to a whole book with somebody else's sex life that they could just do things to you that are really sexually explicit in genesis three times more likely to experience online. trying to shame them into silence by calling them names by undermining their reputation and by trying to violate their oldest journalists in august of two thousand and sixteen rappler came out with a series of stories i call that the propaganda machine in that series showed that social media has been weaponized that accounts that are that are in the middle of this the content creators are working for government and it was all connected to anyone who questioned the drug war as soon as the series was published i started receiving an average of ninety messages per hour i'll read one to you is that all right so this one this one this is from

a real real kid maybe maria ressa is dream is to become the ultimate porn star in a gangbang scene so it's not but it's their second one is make sure maria ressa gets publicly raped to death when martial law expands to tucson it would bring joy in my heart. it's meant to tearing you down so low that you don't have the confidence to continue reporting that's one and then the second is to make. yourself to stop you from reporting. stories that go against the government narrative all of it's just a day day to. rubbish and horror that female journalists have to experience but it's not just virtual it's very much physical it's very much psychological as well a lot of the journalists who are killed around the world get threats online certainly the physical and the virtual to collide one of the issues for news

organizations is trying to understand the severity of the threat and that's often a difficult issue when you go on online harassment or go online threats to figure out how serious do you need to take in the beginning i never used taken seriously because i thought it was just you know people barking on social media lunatics on social media crazy people who i didn't have to dig seriously but then i started getting some very serious threats. one of the first threats that i got was a threat of gang rape and it was a gang rape of me as well as my daughter was in school and they said we know where your daughter studies we know what school she is and we know what time she comes out of school and we're going to grab her and we're going to assault draw and we're going to perform gang rape you see what happens is that the bus and puts out

a threat and then deletes the account but having the lead to the account lots of other handles than to get up and disseminate it so its purpose is so good because it creates a kind of chilling effect you get very scared you tend to sort of selves and because you're scared of what is out there the. troll posts to support that came out recently that something like thirty percent of the multiverse they spoke with had considered leaving the profession because of the impact it had on them something like forty percent of people journalists have actually stopped writing about certain stories if we. in a situation where journalists are impacted all to this extent it's really really challenging to freedom of expression as well and then the threads get drawn growing and they kept getting more and more abusive and more and more followed if you're a liberal you're under it if you're a journalist you're under attack if you're

a liberal woman journalist your public enemy number one there are women who were attacked on social media who were then attacked off social media the threats can be online and then go offline my colleague and good friend was actually shot in september twenty seventh team and a facebook user up a hit list of me and four other women saying that when one has been taken care of we now need to look at these five other women find out where they live and we need to systematically finish them all and this was and shared by numerous other facebook users now the reason why i dig these facebook and twitter threats seriously is because you know this is exactly what happened. she faced media threats and she never has to take it seriously but the fact is she was killed you know and the scary thing about to go to these days is of the modest aspect has said that all i didn't know who she was i was just told that she was damaging my

religion and so i can go so that's the level of brainwashing and fanaticism that exists out there i don't think the government is doing anything about it actually i think a number of these tools were there on social media i actually followed by government ministers i think social media companies need to do much more i would love it if people were engaging with me on my journalism or were engaging with me on my world but if it becomes a place for death threats and for rape threats and for gang rape threads then i think it uses its meaning very social media companies need to have much strict restrictions on what is hate speech what is speech against women why. it is hate speech against minorities the problem that i've seen is that they are in silicon valley looking at the world. that don't take into account the global landscape they operate in and when i hear mark zuckerberg say you know it'll take

us five years. i just say you know we don't have five years in our country or people are getting killed every day in the philippines where i have seventy cases and could go to jail information is the core of our beliefs of our common reality and. we need to get back to the point where this kind of. use of information is mitigated. back to brazil now in the polarizing figure that is. tens of thousands of demonstrators most of them women marched on the streets of twenty seven brazilian cities last weekend to protest against a candidate who occasionally makes donald trump look in the light. the protest grew out of a facebook group that spread across the web called women united against pulse and audio which is four million strong the hash tag now the english equivalent not ham balsam at all actually built his political base online however social media is

a sword that cuts both ways and being depicted online as the evil lord voldemort from harry potter probably wasn't what he had in mind we'll leave you now with a collection of tweets and names from the not him campaign that have been doing the rounds and we'll see you next time you're at the listening post.

one thousand six hundred forty nine but in areas like village it's believed that as many as a thousand could still be buried we can go live now to our correspondent andrew thomas who is in palo city this is the the main city is still a ways isn't it andrea and i'm just wondering whether the delivery and the dispersal of aid has now taken on a certain a mentor. it really has i mean i've been here now five days since tuesday and i've seen the pipes that which has been delivered getting much faster as the weight has gone on it's now pretty ubiquitous across the city of that aid effort is being led in conjunction with the m.d.c. government spy the international federation of the red cross and i'm joined now by who is the host from that organization no one is suggesting that your organization or any others are not doing everything they can but why did i take so long to get to those who are in desperate need of a few days ago now well they measure

a challenge has been access to the lottery thing itself we've had a lot of talk to relief items from jakarta that we wanted to bring here but we were not to bring here that you know quickly and easy because apparently the ships from jakarta to markets are take three days and then from a cost to palu takes more than twenty four hours and that the mega challenge whose fault is that the airport was open to aid flights almost the next morning after the earthquake why wasn't it flown in then speed because the need was then you know well it's hard to say because again i mean we're looking at the best possible way to bring aid here but apparently that the option that we have at the moment although you know eventually like eight coming through and also we've had some one to first ship cam yesterday and we've had loads of items including top hole in blanket the most needed items by communities and we started you know distributed

some items required by the community in the ground what still needed what you still need sent now at this stage well water is the main need right now and we've had our trucks water like you know seven units of truck water underground since the fifth day but no we are coordinating then pointed to more units so trucks wanted to bring more. why don't they want it to people so that they can you know have safe water to drink and cool this thing some talk that the concern now is disease lots of people living in the open air and slows proximity to one another they're scared of going back into their homes because of the risk of further quakes understandable fear there is not a concern for you and what are you doing about it years we've had quite some cases of diarrhea reported from our medical team and also some keen problems we're at a time times of providing basic medical services to affected populations also doing

campaigns on health and sanitation bringing you know awareness among the affected populations on what to do and what not to do indeed crises so that you know they're avoided from some major disease if indeed these are the being lessons learned already for the next one because there will be a next one let's be honest this region is so prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions tsunamis well have you learned now that you'll take forward well we're always combining disaster response with long term programs to record free and long term you know community based programs so that they're receiving the end so that you know again know how to cook future the faster so right now we're not only doing short term for yourself support but also rethinking recourse for you and of the longer term support and we've launched an appeal twenty two million francs to support people that affected by these dishonest there for twenty months i had you

know to support them with the livelihood shelter and also some basic protections the putting on their water bed versus the from the national federation of the red cross thank you very very much and since they were saying it really is now pretty ubiquitous right across the city of the big priority now is getting aid to some of the outlying villages places that are still cut off by road from the city meanwhile marcin. the search effort continues it's no longer a search and rescue effort has been more than a week now since the earthquake and no one is suggesting there could be anybody alive under the rubble in some places bodies are still being removed in lower numbers than they were earlier in the week as they get deeper into the rubble and most bodies have been removed put in some pots some suburbs of. the liquefaction that happened during the earthquake when the ground turned into mud essentially that sunk everything into it well in those places where hundreds of people sunk into the mud they will probably remain there now the government has talked to

families is telling them in all honesty there is a strong chance that not all bodies will be recovered and it's better to leave people their essential in their graves ok andrew thank you very much for that andrew thomas correspondent who is in polly's city and now we can get more from another of our correspondents who's in still a ways here that's jimmy than she is reporting now from city district which is nearby where small amounts of aid have finally arrived for the first time this is what's left of jordan or give village one of the places that bore the brunt of the disaster here in so the west see. this case is quite unique even for experts who say they've never seen anything like it and for those of lives here for a long time they say it's hard to make sense of this devastation survivors here tell us it was as if

a volcano erupted this month surface fifteen meters from underground and then it started to drag homes and people in waves in waves of mud and rock most of these ended up four kilometers from their original location. rescuers here tell us they don't even know where to start digging they fear half of the population here is dead those who survived say they need aid quite desperately . i cried i'm very sad because of the disaster that happened to us where will we go now how will we get over this. kids can't go to school their schools collapsed because of the earthquake their teachers have also left and are displaced this is the first time the people here are receiving aid more than a week since the disaster struck there are about two thousand people here this place coming from at least five villages we've spoken to some of them who say they

desperately need food shelter and medicine they've come to accept that they won't be able to return to their homes any time soon that their children are unable to go to school and they have lost everything that they've worked hard for their livelihood their jobs their farm their cattle he said this is a disaster that is quite unimaginable but they need help and they need it fast police in france are investigating the disappearance of the president of interpol that see international policing agency among whom way hasn't been heard of since he flew home to china late last month he was china's vice minister of public security before he joined interpol is our china correspondent adrian brown in beijing. well so far china's government has said absolutely nothing about the disappearance of monk home way the first chinese citizen to become head of interpol state controlled

media is so far not reporting this story either and any mention of his name on social media is being deleted that is i think a reflection of just how sensitive this cases but in hong kong the south china morning post newspaper which has connections to the chinese government has been offering more information it says sources have told them that mung was taken away after his plane landed in beijing it's believed he left france on september the twenty fifth and that he was taken away to an undisclosed destination and that he was now quote under investigation although it's not specified what he's being investigated for now before monk took up his position with interpol in two thousand and sixteen he had been a vice minister of the public security bureau that made him a very powerful man now some important context his boss had been

a man who was jailed three years ago for corruption joe young kang had been basically the j. edgar hoover of chinese politics the securities are of china and then in two thousand and sixteen another vice minister of public security was also jailed for corruption so there is a pattern emerging it is quite possible the monk found himself on the wrong side of the political divide in china at a time when president xi jinping is intensifying his anti corruption crackdown. the u.s. secretary of state is in japan to discuss efforts to achieve a nuclear free north korea after meeting prime minister shinzo all they might pump air is you to go to north korea for a second round of talks with the leader kim jong un the us wants progress in the effort to rid the korean peninsula of nuclear weapons after kim agreed to denuclearize during the singapore summit with president donald trump in june.
