trying to take on the vice president's chief of staff nick as. armenians are voting in the first parliamentary elections as mass demonstrations this year and the decades of one party rule polls suggest a landslide victory fact. he came to power in may after weeks of popular protests against corruption and cronyism what became known as the velvet revolution or so walker has more from the capital. and he's my step alliance are riding sky high in opinion polls and therefore they are expected to win by a significant majority in today's election and if that happens this will be the finishing touch if you like of his so-called velvet revolution when back in the spring he managed to bring out tens of thousands of armenians onto the street to

bring about a peaceful transition of power back then he was elected prime minister. with hundreds of thousands of armenians on the streets demanding parliament make him the country's leader but he only had a handful of seats in power in parliament so what he needs now and why he's holding this snap election is to transfer that popular power that he has on the streets into the corridors of power where he will have a legitimate mandate to carry out the reforms that he's promised to the armenian people things like dealing with the oligarchs and their monopoly on the economy bringing in more money bringing in investment changing the education system and of course one of his key platforms having a free and fair democratic system now this is been one of the criticisms that has been. raised here brought into question the fact that he's holding these elections

when he's riding this wave of popularity and there hasn't been much campaign so i mean the other political parties are at a disadvantage and if he gets into power with a significant majority how is he going to exercise his orthe already we've seen some harsh language coming from him in recent weeks he's been accused of using hate speech in intimidating his opponents he would argue that he's fine. fire with fire he's been given that mandate by the armenian people to take on the corrupt old elites and so he's got to go in hard but whether or not he wins this election with the extremely high majority is expected the question then will be whether he's going to. exercise his orthorexic democratically this is true and nobel peace prize winners have spoken in oslo ahead of tomorrow's awards ceremony. mcquay and his

easy activists were jointly awarded the prize in october they received the honor for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and were asked how governments can help bring an end to it. until. there is an international humanitarian law what we're here to do is to make sure that this law exists is respected and that those actions are punished we need an impartial application of the law the problem we have in the democratic republic of congo is a problem with the post conflict situations we have warlords at the head of state at very high levels and no justice has been served after this conflict. of charges . not a single i saw fighter has been brought to court we haven't seen this perhaps it will be a different group that commits these crimes if there is no justice we will continue to see this injustice in the world if this is not dealt with now. it's been nearly three decades since lebanon's civil war ended but questions remain over the fate of

thousands of people who went missing during that time although an independent commission is being formed a general amnesty issued after the war means perpetrators will not face justice and harder reports from barry. what that how when he has been searching for her husband adnan since he was abducted by unknown gunmen thirty six years ago lebanon was at war at the time controlled by lebanese sick terry and militias palestinian fighters israeli forces and syrian troops how when he began her battle for the truth in one nine hundred eighty two attracting other women whose husbands sons and brothers had also disappeared. their protest movement continued long after the war ended in one nine hundred ninety only now has the lebanese parliament passed a law calling for a commission to find out what happened to those who disappeared. this is the first time the lebanese authorities officially admit the war crimes recognize the

families of the victims and the missing and acknowledge our rights to know the fate of the disappeared. the heigho official figures show at least seventeen thousand people went missing during the fifteen year conflict after years of campaigning families who have come from diverse backgrounds now hope the new law will give them answers they are urging those who have information to come forward they say they are not seeking punishment but closure let's. talk about we are not responsible for article thirty seven which is about punishing perpetrators we just want to know the fate of our loved ones the draft bill we proposed has nothing to do with punishing past crimes. the international committee of the red cross has stepped in in the absence of any national institution to deal with the missing the i.c.r.c. hopes the d.n.a. samples collected can be used with mass graves are finally identified and opened.

and will continue storing them until the commission is set in place as long as this this commission is as we spoke about it it's independent it's humanity. then we are happy to provide all the support. never had a truth and reconciliation commission after the war but what that how is making sure that past is not forgotten over the years successive governments try to close the file and declare that there's a reason for that many of those in power were once militia leaders responsible for killings and disappearances but the new law will not affect a general amnesty issued in one thousand nine hundred one which covers crimes committed during the war remains in place. this is the first time lebanon acknowledges the case of the missing now the law needs to be implemented what that how when he is under no illusion that political and sectarian obstacles

could yet again leave this chapter in the country's history resolved. into the tribe as the mountain of gold is showing signs. is the only known active volcano with a type of lava that can move fast and. reports from the foothills it's now threatening their villages and three sites very early humans once lived. towering above everything else around the lake natural area in north in tanzania although new length stands at more than seven thousand feet the local mosque community call it the mountain of god for the last two years it's been rumbling geologists a morning tearing its activity more intently because of the reasons care an eruption was imminent that threat level has since diminished but scientists say nothing can be left to chance hansen is professor at the university of the wrestler

geology department he says tanzania needs a working observatory center to be able to keep a closer eye on the mountain itself rather than getting information from other countries experts it has been unfortunate that even. continue to perform germany europe they have no information because they have been working with the mountain there the new do disguise the know much more scientifically than what we have. because they have money this is the world's only active volcano that bulges out of black love a reach with a type of rock called cup on a tight when it comes to contact with it turns white. volcanic eruptions have been recorded here since eight hundred eighty three the largest deposited ash hundred kilometers away and that's a concern because a mountain is also close to important ancient historic sites like this one on the

southern shores of lake notch on named the dance floor. more than human footprints left between five and nine hundred thousand years ago and preserved by debris and ash from the volcano. those who live on the foothills of the mountain have watched you know and fear the mountain of god route to life this mountain last erupted in two thousand and seven those who live here say it had loudly rumble for months before and when it finally spewed its love they ran for cover no one died but some lost their cattle and grazing grounds were destroyed and our psyche says it sounded like a founder storm and describes the flowing lover as scary. i was afraid at first i thought i choked to death it was like a fire then it cooled down and became white the dust settled on our cattle and when we tried to get it off the animals it would peel off the skin. her son maurice king he told us immediately happened he knew what to do in line with the culture of his

community and. the elders and i took up on top of the mountain that same day god listen to us and they love us stopped i don't know what we have done. communities here believe this for cain is sokrates they say they're not worried because like their ancestors they know just what to do when the mountain of god rose again catherine. on the foothills of. these are our top stories pressure is building on france's president to bring an end to the so-called yellow vests crisis a day after war violent protests across the country. is expected to address the nation in the coming days. rival protests are being held in london in support of and against bracks says ahead of a key vote on the prime minister's e.u.

with us. getting to the heart of the matter how can you be a refugee after you while eight borders between five safe countries facing the realities. from the very beginning of. providing content housing is not just about four walls and a roof hear their story and talk to how does it. seem that far their contributors are helpers outrageous comments but. really help work on it like when i. try to reach out. i can. see. are they protecting. the way. hello i'm richard burton you're at the listening post here are some of the media stories that we're tracking this week 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. 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 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. 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 semitic heels dismissal came on the heels of

a seemingly coordinated attack by pro israel groups that have. um 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 before you the speech lasted twenty one minutes and seven seconds is really nations day continues to restrict freedom and undermine your quality of the 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 violations perpetrated by the israeli government had the speech been six words shorter marc lamont hill would still be employed by c.n.n. and he ended it like this give us justice required. 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 measure and the galilee and all parts of palestine 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 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 give you every is to doubt forth is a conflation between critique of israel and anti-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. 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 collect. 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. 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 they caught him 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 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 isr. voices it pays to provide punditry like the former israeli ambassador to washington michael oren x 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 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 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. uncomfortable to some. pro israel advocate i don't look i know i don't i don't buy the whole idea that the united states on the occupation i mean this is says israel is and israel you do have people talking about occupation and till there is movement in the united states politics 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 in the us some of those named on it say it's akin to a blacklist designed to intimidate them into signings 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 tonight. professor marc lamont hill an 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 pro palestine activists 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. 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 new terror tape 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 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 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 to sherry i mean obviously the fact that the cases have been filed show political pressure. we have a very powerful executive president detective controls not just the executive branch he has a super majority and congress in 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 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 i the differ 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 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 a 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 peruvian 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 the listening posts marcella peas are now from lima with the journalists behind and can't. switch on the t.v. improve union to 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 proof reinstate broadcaster started airing a new show that broke the mold. ready to. change the news 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 mark still class highlights your economic status and defines your prospects. program a cup thing 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 no longer be ashamed of speaking keep reading my email or language tristan is an embarrassment. it was frowned upon and we were looked down on him cynical of the

significance of this news broadcasting catch you up is that it recognizes the fact that this is a multicultural multi-lingual multi ethnic country more than we stick with. it only 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. you can see it 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 his own lima politics when you can take a significant proportion of the news is truthful remote locations there's a focus on the concerns of the farming population going on when you go gentleman that means that we're not going to just yet he's got all this on record on

government policy fiscally i mean it would come but he didn't pick up the paper of how will you take money you might tell you a few numbers him up high up fast or they bring in money to invest uncle not really think that just take what i took it literally just because the program i think 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 duty to tell these stories young women that. this is not the first time pearl. state t.v. has news and get to a. was

a news broadcast in the early seventy's the put a picture on t.v. for the first time the program came about as part of a plan into 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 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 a show that claimed to be a comedy about an andean indigenous woman living in the capital lima. a bystander has seen that became so popular with its viewers that it got its only weekday prime time slot conflict when she latina one of courage biggest private t.v. channels which but things are changing 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 up and died there's her suitor the villager iliotibial 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 out they were seen in there one of the great western myth is that hygiene is synonymous with civilization but to train a native indian woman is one can't you position her in a kind of pre-modern world enough. she is truth to dirty rotten her speech and masculine in demeanor this idea of the native and in woman is reflected in news narratives because they always portrayed as a victim and this suggests that people like her are inadequate and ultimately unable to integrate into mainstream society. i realised just how subtle how insidious linguistic discrimination can be it's more

complex and more serious than racial discrimination even because it works by association spanish is associated with culture and catch well with ignorance. the signal. for the commercial players improves media market to get to audience hasn't even been an afterthought the language the community is scarcely represented on either private radio or t.v. in a media ecosystem that depends on ad revenue the kitchen a segment of the audience simply doesn't qualify in terms of purchasing power or economic presence against that backdrop you can cheek along with he was a not a news show and i made a peruse other main indigenous language products in a market that rarely includes indigenous people yes obviously these issues made it very difficult for catcher language programs to be produced for television if that

your speakers weren't going to purchase goods there would be no advertising revenue so that became a vicious cycle as public broadcasters we are preoccupied with commercial matters our main concern is the public on the c.r. if they don't think our language was a recognized by the world of finance so it was hardly featured on television or radio we've broken that and proved that news can be produced in our language by yet my own medio told me. peru's national broadcaster has moved away from its own status as government mouthpiece but it also differs from commercial t.v. where the media are talking at the viewer where the public's opinions about policies that could affect them is not taken into consideration this is not the case on your country so we have taken an important first step but i can say that we are providing a platform in which power is being held to account with regards to national political issues it could be in the future and that would be

a great thing. and finally back to israel and the media born and raised in nazareth. isn't a category of one she is the first arab muslim news presenter on a mainstream israeli channel a little more than a month ago a viewer wrote in to complain about her habit of greeting her viewers in both hebrew and arabic saying it was improper for the station to allow that later adding that if she really wanted to speak arabic then quote let her go to al-jazeera which we can talk about. as husband so he is an israeli actor he's jewish and an amateur musician so together with his wife they took one of the few words letters and put it to song on the air and if that is really the letter writer happens to be watching we've got one word for you. we'll see you next time.

live and al-jazeera dot com after four weekends of protests chaos on the streets of france and but the french president many are wondering whether men well what is he doing and what is he going to do about this crisis that his government is facing but there is another player in all of this who looks like he's adding to. that is an out of the u.s. president donald trump he fired off a bunch of tweets that seem to stir up and add to much of the french anti-government sentiment that ignited the protests in the first place and those comments march an angry rebuke from the french foreign minister who told trump not to meddle in their politics one hundred twenty five thousand protesters took part in saturday's so-called yellow best demonstration so let's look at one of those tweets from donald trump it reads this way the paris agreement isn't working out so well for paris protests and riots all over france people do not want to pay large sums of money in order to maybe protect the environment chanting we want trump love

france go to dominic cain who is live in paris so dominic french are taking too well to donald trump dabbling in what's going on in their country. no certainly the government and rachelle that's absolutely right and you're saying that the foreign ministers on the eve of the deal effectively telling president trump to mind his own business keep out of french affairs let our country be he said the irony is that that's pretty much what the protesters the john yellow vespers protesters feel towards their own government they don't really unhappy with the sorts of policies that mr mccann and his government have been trying to enact trying to introduce over the course of the past eighteen months and for the past weeks they've been showing that on the streets both in the city of power in the capital city paris but around the country the point to make here about the way that

the reaction has been perceived today well lots of newspapers lots of news shows obviously splashing the pictures of the violence on their front pages on their t.v. screens and saying that this was a different kind of reaction from police that the policing this time around was different to on previous weekends which might explain they believe that's the newspapers anyway why so many people were arrested why we saw heard so many reports of injuries and that sort of thing that the police took a much firmer approach towards the management as it were of the protests that took place but in a political sense well they've cleared up the damage of the violence that took place on saturday but they're there when near clearing up the mess that the country is in politically that's certainly true so when are we going to hear from him and will not grant. well we'll hear from michael this week

some suggestions that he will be speaking tomorrow and will touch on these sorts of sentiment that the angry protesters feel and try to assuage the concerns of some people perhaps there will be a few concessions more concessions and already he has given all of that is speculation one thing is certain he'll be speaking but one other thing that's been is that there is really serious political opposition to him now i'm speaking to you now from just outside the somebody yes you know the building behind me the french parliament well on monday the opponents of mr mccall's government will table a motion of no confidence in his government has very little chance of success it will be debated and voted on on wednesday but because macro's movement has a majority and probably an absolute majority in parliament it won't get passed but it indicates quite how difficult it is for him right now that he has angry protests on the streets angry debate in parliament and all the while his support abs are ways some opinion polls put him at twenty four percent in the opinion polls so he's

clearly struggling and his movement is called lot a public on march the republic rising moving and yet some of the headlines today say love high public off the republic in flames gives you an idea of how difficult his his predicament is right now all right john mccain i have for us in paris dominic thank you al jazeera as investigative unit has infiltrated generation identity a far right group in france and a cover investigation reveals the group's violence and its close links to the mainstream political party led by marine le pen david harrison reports. yes. an undercover reporter from al-jazeera is investigative unit kept as an argument on the streets of france was far right activists clash with arabic speaking teenagers . the man who led the race attack is an activist with a generation identity
