fourth weekend of demonstrations which began as a movement against a fuel tax but has since evolved into a challenge to president. david chaytor reports from paris the the us. the the what the yellow vests called act for all their protests played out with some familiar scenes in the center paris. was the hundreds of arrests were made but it didn't stop the clashes the demonstrators tried to storm the blockades mounted by the riot police. was now because the americans are moving in on the other best protesters who throwing missiles at the police lights they are now using tear gas tear gas and stun grenades the the we did the first act mccrone didn't the curious act to seek not ask we
4:01 am
don't exist today we do ask for to see if he reacts they don't hear the word dignity is it just dignity is the only reward the dignity of making a living out of our work how are the poor going to keep feeding their children that's what i want to know what will we give to our children by the end of the month the shouts coming from the crowds the car. the background resigned the but his interior minister had his own message for the yellow vests even it was delivered a safe distance from the fray to see if we assume good of us to have actually be more injuries on the side of the security forces than on the side of the protesters because the idea is to contain things but the toxic has its limits particularly when we're faced with people who want to behave like in school and it's a war that shows no sign of ending soon the standoff is continuing david chaytor al jazeera paris. well let's now speak with dominic cain who is there in paris for us
4:02 am
and dominic we saw another weekend of protests which turned violent more injuries more arrests what's it like in paris now. well i'm talking to marry him from the rest of that a public area of paris we know the seans that is it has been cleared the police say but certainly not this area where i'm reporting to you live from now we're wearing security gear because there have been objects thrown have been tear gas fired by the police the police moved us on just a few minutes ago but for the moment come seems to be established point to make here is the prime minister of france believes that the situation in paris is now under control well the events that have unfolded since where we are right now over the course of the past thirty minutes might seem to suggest that that's not quite exactly the case certainly we know that one hundred thirty five people have been injured today in paris and that perhaps almost a thousand people are in custody one thing i must say is that earlier on this afternoon the satellite truck that we were broadcasting to al-jazeera live from war
4:03 am
came under attack from a small group of people who were wearing the yellow vests but i've spoken to many people who were taking part in the process today who deprecate that completely say that violence is not the answer that they wanted to air their grievances and that they feel that that does not sort of honest doesn't represent them movement but as i say the point to make here right now is all vote of the authorities believe paris is now under control there are areas where perhaps the police don't have the amount of control that he's being said by central florida keys that have been cold for new dialogue between the government and media as of this protest movement what can we expect to happen in the coming weeks. well the point here is that the government of emanuel and of his party. which has an
4:04 am
absolute majority in parliament they believe that today represents excuse the language there but that gives it that gives you a sense of feeling the strength of feeling of the yellow vests that they believe that the government's really not listening to their point of view dialogue is one thing the question will be how likely is it that the government is prepared to give way more than it already has done on its legislative program let's be clear the government has already agreed a six month moratorium on the increase in taxes on certain items the question will be whether that goes far enough or is there something more that the cement can can give way on which will satisfy the yellow vest for testers but all of that is for the future right now paris is under control say the all thirty's perhaps not every part of paris all right thank you very much with the latest from paris dominic k. . so i have for you on the program seven months on from the velvet revolution the

breaching sanctions on iran you're up to speed with all of our top stories more news coming up in about twenty five minutes time do join me then coming up next on al-jazeera listening posts. c.n.n. farther contributor are quanell for his outrageous comments about the current israeli cabinet that help on a plate which i. try to reach out. i can. see. i protected free speech. oh i'm richard gere's but if you're at the listening post here are some of the media stories that we're tracking this week
4:22 am
testing the limits of free speech in the land of the free when discussing israel and palestine on american television choose your words carefully and arab israeli broadcaster takes the complaints of a critic and puts them to song. the. tax man filipino president roderigo due to attack is the latest leader to go after a news organization over alleged tax evasion and post colonial broadcasting in peru news in pre-colonial language we begin with the fractious issue of palestine and israel in the u.s. news media the boundaries around that discussion who gets to set them and what ultimately is allowed to be said last week a c.n.n. contributor a commentator the network had on its payroll delivered a speech at the united nations in support of palestinian self-determination and equal rights less than twenty four hours later c.n.n.
4:23 am
was done with marc lamont hill when you boil it down he was fired for using the following six words from the river to the sea that was deemed anti sematic heels dismissal came on the heels of a seemingly coordinated attack by pro israel groups that have come to have. a large say over what constitutes acceptable discourse on palestine in the us by willfully conflating a legitimate criticism of israel was anti semitism and then convincing news outlets to do the say it wasn't that long ago that c.n.n. adopted the slogan facts first when it comes to israel though it's much more complicated than that some facts are clearly more inconvenient than others our starting point this week is the un's headquarters in new york city. it is with great honor and humility that i accept the opportunity to speak for you the speech lasted twenty one minutes and seven seconds is really nation state
4:24 am
continues to restrict freedom and undermine your quality for palestinian citizens of israel as well as those in the west bank and gaza it consisted of two thousand eight hundred and thirty seven words i promise you that i will not exhaust all of my time by every human rights violation perpetrated by the israeli government had the speech been six words shorter marc lamont hill would still be employed by c.n.n. had he ended it like this give us justice requires. and that is a free palestine instead he chose to end it like this a free palestine from the river to the sea when marc lamont hill says a free palestine from the river to the sea he is acknowledging that palestinians are just clustered in the west bank and gaza but in fact we are from places like africa and yafa and most in the galilee and all parts of palestine
4:25 am
and the significance of this is that israel has always sought to erase this historic fact they're not just objecting to use of the. of the words from the river to the sea but palestine now i understand why the vagueness of that term may lead some to misinterpret it i understand that somebody who identifies as a pro israel zionist may have an issue with a one state vision because equal rights for everyone would effectively mean the end of the jewish state a state the privileges the jewish population over the non jewish population that's why we see people resorting to a smear campaign so c.n.n. not only have a right to fire him this is a piece of open anti-semitism if actively misdirecting what those words actually mean that's right out of a hamas script that calls for the and i lay sion of israel that is not what that phrase means at all people decided to to zoom in on what was supposedly the truth
4:26 am
subtext of what he is saying it's an active search to find a very diligent and i think sentence that reveals some nefarious intent in a call for freedom and we see that over and over again and one of the main giving reiver is to the fourth is a conflation between critique of israel and the semitism in the twenty minute speech he said many branches and important things about the plight of palestinians at the same time you know if somebody gave a beautiful speech and then in the middle of it said the n. word we would be right sort of focus on that now again i don't think that the phrase from the river to see is necessarily anti-semitic but it was interpreted that way by many jews and so i think it was fair to focus on that. but how was that interpretation arrived at the anti-defamation league a jewish n.g.o.s based in the u.s. said lamont hill's use of the phrase from the river to the sea meant that he was calling for the end of the state of israel. the a.d.l.
4:27 am
describes itself as a civil rights organization that fights bigotry and anti semitism in the u.s. however it has little or no tolerance for those who question israeli government policies collectively. pro israel lobby groups in washington including the a.d.l. apac the jewish federation of america and others are the kings of conflation they carry a lot of weight with politicians and the media alike and when c.n.n. saw the online pushback to what lamont hill had said it just rolled over and cut him loose. this is definitely an organized campaign that has attempted to misrepresent hill's views somebody like ben shapiro who is a host of fox news right now is openly an advocate of israel ethnically cleansing palestinians from the palestinian territories seth mandell who is the editor of the washington examiner made the most egregious charge against hill accusing him of advocating for genocide and c.n.n.
4:28 am
by caving to the smear campaign is absolutely playing into the hands of people who want to make that conflation and are undermining free speech in the process there's definitely a problem right now in the public sphere where some versions of anti side is a more opposition to israel are immediately called by some on the right anti-semitic this is of course a huge problem in terms of what marc lamont hill side i think c.n.n. was thinking probably about its viewers and about the jewish community and saying well the majority of the community viewed this as deeply problematic as something that threatens their very existence and so they need a decision based on that santa. perpetuated this narrative this fall the economy this idea that you have to choose and don't critique israel or be anti-semitic it's even more problematic because of the positive role that it could play in this conflict and this nurse that discussion will not be on c.n.n. because they fired dr hill but that would be a perfect place and
4:29 am
a perfect opportunity to have this discussion warren and with that with us now from massachusetts professor alan dershowitz and john thanks so much for being here senator thank you so cnn's treatment of the middle east conflict can be measured not just in the pro israel void. says it pays to provide punditry like the former israeli ambassador to washington michael oren ex u.s. senator rick santorum and lawyer alan dershowitz but in the air time they are given israel wants peace and even the anti-defamation league has said gordon's opinions verge on conspiracy theories yet he's still a paid c.n.n. contributor and is often interviewed by wolf blitzer blitzer's bio on c.n.n.'s new site is as revealing about the network as it is about him it's an extensive and detailed summary of a career going back forty years but no where the c.n.n. mentioned no i could rest mr blitzer in the one nine hundred eighty s. blitzer worked at the time he was
4:30 am
a paid lobbyist for israel before all of us should be delighted that we happen to be around the time in this world when there is this israel we wrote to c.n.n. with a series of questions on this story but did not hear back and wolf blitzer is not just another face on the network he is cnn's lead political and. it's institutional it's imbedded in the fabric of c.n.n. named pollster it with gas like michael oren is will take whatever measures are necessary to defend its citizens and rick santorum for example denying that palestinians even exist and all the people that live in the west bank are israelis they're not palestinians there is no palestinian all these people get to stay on c.n.n. and wolf blitzer who is you know an ardent zionist and with a history of working for the israeli lobby he gets to frame. the story and. rarely do palestinians ever get
4:31 am
a voice on c.n.n. it is really interesting to compare the discourse about palestine among israelis and among. americans when i moved to that state i was surprised that the word occupation. israel's uncomfortable to some. pro israel advocate i don't look at it i don't i don't buy the whole idea that the united states occupation i mean this is a says israel is or you do have people talking about occupation and till there is movement in the united states politic that can utter these words that can say what is the problem that we need to solve and that is. will be very far from a solution. the pro israel lobby has worked to influence american political discourse extends into academia the canary mission is a website that compiles dos days on pro palestinian college students and professors
4:32 am
in the us some of those named on it say it's akin to a blacklist designed to intimidate them into silence al-jazeera has investigated the site but that documentary has yet to be broadcast leading some to speculate that even al jazeera is not immune to pressure from the pro israel lobby in the us which the network to not. professor marc lamont hill and academic now deposed from the media platform c.n.n. gave him would know both sides of that story but as of this writing he's not talking which is the whole point of the exercise. it is crucial for people to understand the magnitude of the threat to free speech and the form of denying the ability of an activist to be part of the narrative in the united states this takes many forms we are facing a very serious threat to free speech in the form of denying the right to speak honestly about the israeli palestinian conflict and the right to have.
4:33 am
another media story that's on our radar this week is unfolding in the philippines it's one we've been following for a couple of years now the case of president rodriguez do terror today versus rappler a news website that's been the president's bet now are for its critical coverage of his government's war on drugs and its online dissent from ation campaign. earlier this year a rapper's license was temporarily revoked and just last week the site and its founder maria ressa were indicted for tax evasion which raised more than a few eyebrows maria ressa joins us on the listening post now to discuss this case and president to take his approach to dealing with his critics in the news media ms ressa wrapper is not the first news outlet critical of a government to suddenly develop quote unquote tax issues we've heard similar stories in turkey for instance is the case against you and rappler politically
4:34 am
motivated absolutely i mean i've run out of synonyms for the word ridiculous for the foundation of a lot of these multiple legal cases that we're now facing do you have any faith that the justice system in the philippines can deal with this case without folding under political pressure i continue to have faith in the individual men and women inside this hearing i mean obviously the fact that the cases have been filed show political pressure. we have a very powerful executive president in tech to controls not just the executive branch he has a super majority in congress and the legislature he also by that i am he leaves office will appoint the thirteen to fifteen supreme court justices right all we can do is you know expect the worst but hope for the best we've seen all those comparisons between two territories approach to the news media and president trumps but when the trumpet ministration goes after the us media whether it's revoking the credentials of a c.n.n. white house correspondent or simply calling journalism that the president doesn't
4:35 am
like fake news it gets a lot of flack in return from other news organizations and lots of ordinary americans are we seeing enough of that in the philippines because none of this really seems to be hurting president to terror tape politically. i think you'll be surprise you know the diff the biggest difference between the united states in the philippines is the strength of the institutions in the united states but the spite our weak institutions in the philippines what we feel in rappler is that more of our more of our supporters are coming out precisely because it's not just about one it's not just about journalism you're talking about values and principles of our constitution and i only say that if if our people do not hold government accountable for crossing the lie then when it does this country will no longer be a democracy i think that's part of what's at stake here so it's
4:36 am
a tough time maria ressa thank you to peru now where forty five percent of the population is indigenous but where the media have long failed to reflect the demographic facts and it starts with the language spanish dominates the airwaves there. but over the past year the country's public broadcaster canal peru has launched two new news programs in the two main indigenous languages i mara and catch will the following report is on one of those programs it's in catch you and it's called new country for us to catch oil is the most widely spoken indigenous language in the americas almost fifteen percent of peruvians speak it fluently and its appearance on canal peru is being seen as an attempt albeit overdue to redress the racist legacies of the colonial era listening posts marcelle it is our own now from lima with the journalists behind and can't.
4:37 am
switch on the t.v. improve soon into any of the big radio stations open up a national newspaper and the information citizens will get the information they need will be in a language that many of them might not understand spanish. last year however the proven state broadcaster started airing a new show that broke the mold. at eighteen. yet the result was being broadcast in. an indigenous language one that many of its speakers would prefer to deny a new country where the language you speak still closs highlights your economic status and defines your prospects. program a cup being the very fact that this program is being broadcast means that catch your speakers will lift their heads up and we'll be better informed and they will
4:38 am
no longer be ashamed of speaking to keep reading my. paper language tristan is an embarrassment it was frowned upon and we were looked down on in significance of the significance of this news broadcasting is that it recognizes the fact that this is a multicultural. multi-lingual multi ethnic country more than we speak with their son as they don't know what some people have complained they don't understand well my only response is that finally they get what it's like to be a kitsch was speaker in peru watching the national news in your own country and not understanding because it's broadcast in a language that's not your own can is it. you can she does more than just book cost in a different language the producers say their mission is to reflect a different reality a perspective that isn't mainstream in peru so while the morning news in spanish might be dominated by knees or lima politics when you can take a significant proportion of the news is truthful remote locations there's
4:39 am
a focus on the concerns of the farming population going on when you go gentleman that means that we're not going out just yet all this and reports on government policy fiscal year many of which can receive in the cave of having to stick money to you might tell you a few numbers him up high up fast or they be taking money to invest uncle not believe it i just take what i took it literally just because the program isn't it doesn't mean we're going to see just folk music and dance these are important and valuable aspects of that culture but its fundamental purpose is to address people's needs. by going to. new country has a responsibility to report on inequalities on the ground what does big business want what does the state say about those big projects what are they taking from our earth what are we going to do with the profits from forests of the world it's our
4:40 am
duty to tell these stories young when i think. this is not the first time peru state t.v. has bookers news and get to a an early moment about china was a news broadcast in the early seventy's the picture on t.v. for the first time the program came about. as part of planning a nationwide agrarian reform campaign carried out by the left wing military government of general one will ask about. the last call declared in one thousand nine hundred seventy fool that there was quote no freedom of the press in peru only freedom of enterprises he reined in what he saw as the elite media established good as an official language and used the state broadcaster to promote equal rights for indigenous groups a bit derided as populist propaganda by his critics but celebrated by many across the country who felt they'd been ignored for centuries. even the
4:41 am
kitchen became one of prison official languages and one nine hundred seventy five and the more than four decades since it's really been given much air time is our national t.v. or radio that means that there's four million people more than ten percent of first population whose first language is not spanish a hard time understanding the news. the other side of the story has to do with narrative and this stereotype of the voices in the mainstream media upright indigenous people the smack of racism and of provoked outrage in peru and beyond. take. us into the present assure that claim to be a comedy about an andean indigenous woman living in the capital lima. a bystander has seen the became so popular with its viewers that it got its only weekday prime time slot on flick when she latina one of courage biggest private t.v. channels which things are changing
4:42 am
a group of indigenous women from the andean region of cusco have been waging a long legal battle to get the show banned last month they won the judge ruled for the show to be taken off air and of you tube. and others and. there's her suitor. villager elliott ariel the president there's thousands of characters like that in the public eye at least today we've become more discerning but we used to laugh at them this went on for years and nobody questioned it. the cycle get around me they were seen in their one of the great western myths is that hygiene is synonymous with civilization third by portraying a native indian woman as one can't you position her in a kind of pre-modern world enough. truth to dirty rotten her speech and masculine and demeanor this idea of the native and in woman is reflected in news narratives because they always portrayed her as
4:43 am
