a problem but some media take it out of size and dimension it is an attempt to close what is being called the arab spring in sudan it has the same slogans programmes and requests it also has the same use of social media however the sudanese people have learned the lesson that they have to see what happened in some of the states that went through the so-called arab spring and its negative implications wedding the sudanese people are very alert and will not fall into anyone's trap to destabilize sudan. the demonstrations started in mid december and the city of over rising bread prices it quickly spread to other parts of the country with thousands taking to the streets demanding that and bashir who's been in power since one thousand eight hundred nine and his rule security forces are accused of using excessive force with bullets and tear gas used to disperse peaceful unarmed for testers. the government says twenty nine have been killed since protests began rights groups say that number is at least fifty with dozens more injured. opposition to bush years rule is not only in the streets some

more news coming up right after the listening posts. from the arab spring and. throw. their. own things off a few other tens of thousands of. cars. in the city and i think that. censorship of the country. hello i'm richard gives birth in europe the listening post here are some of the media stories we're covering this week egypt on january twenty fifth the anniversary of the arab spring is most famous day we examine what's left of journalism there and look at some of the talk show hosts to

safeguard the cult of personality that surrounds president. nicaraguan journalist flees the country was he trying to avoid the same fate his father faced in the one nine hundred seventy s. plus the israeli military gives its neighbors a lesson in geography the twitter sphere then escalates it to an all out mean war. it's been eight years since the fall of hosni mubarak and the uprising that briefly liberated egyptians and their media from life under one man rule fast forward to the present day and president. government is doubling down tripling down on controlling the news media measures that rights groups say are unprecedented in the country's recent history hundreds of websites blocked more than thirty journalists imprisoned new laws allow for the monitoring censoring and jailing of journalists and citizens as well as targeting all online outlets where they are most vulnerable their bottom lines the media rights group reporters without borders warns that

egypt's few remaining independent media face probable extinction or exile with the margins of acceptable speech narrower than ever and journalists expected to demonstrate complete loyalty to the state discerning truth in egypt from propaganda gets more difficult by the day or a starting point this week is the heartland of the revolutions that came to be known as the arab spring cairo. abdel fattah el-sisi did not wait to get into the president's office before taking issue with the egyptian news media that. this video leaked to a website called rust whose logo remains front and center was recorded in two thousand and thirteen. with. sisi was the head of the armed forces appointed by president mohamed morsi the muslim brotherhood leader he would later

deposed and imprisoned he was meeting with his officers discussing how to deal with journalists empowered by the rule the media had played in the arab spring the fall of mubarak c.c.'s off camera when he was sponsored to this officer but you get the message. that's. accurate. i don't. have a lot of what he was talking in that video has become true that was not. for finding prophecy that has allowed him to actually control the media as much as possible to get. that. respect. and i'm. sure that if you're that ok. to take. after. nice you know. for the first time ever in egypt's history those military leaders

who are almost immune against any kind of accountability or media criticism found themselves being described in gyptian media and social media as lie or deceive or oppressors and the definitely didn't like that presidency she said and that is that the revolution had begun to dismantle the sas calls on the media and we need to return to a moment where we control the media so he says this is going to take a very large statewide effort because once we control the media and returned the cycle of fear in society then we can have ultimate control. when the government wants to transform a media landscape the place to start is at the ownership lover on t.v. is a channel that used to air lively political debates like many other outlets with the

new owners it now toes the government line in two thousand and sixteen the state intelligence agency did g.i.s. launched its own channel d.m.c. t.v. then last year the g.i.'s was revealed to be behind an investment group called eagle capital that has bought six newspapers and websites including the site seven as well as on. t.v. it's like the cia is starting its own channel in the us walk quietly buying c.n.n. and buzz feed and hoping that no one would notice the ownership of by the intelligence. agencies changed that it's already a line in some of these private companies by actually either making it completely entertainment and just like movies and sports and such or are advocating for a very pro state nationalistic protective kind of discourse security discourse space it will be a hell of a lot of well as you can live but don't have that they are. yet ten zero up

what it had been say bob you watch a channel or a website and you say oh which intelligence agency is behind that almost obligate gyptian government through its numerous security agencies has established private companies buying and controlling various mass media establishment egyptians no longer trust their mass media godless of their private. you have officers instruction unless the news of the tires on what the next day's headlines are all national and private newspapers are practically an identical it has become a laughing stock of the not so hopeful of. the god. the legal landscape is changing too late last year egypt's media regulator the s.m.r. see proposed a new law that would allow the state to block broadcasts and websites for breaking rules that were so ambiguously word that hundreds of journalists politicians and

public figures petitioned for the abolition of a law that had yet to pass among the laws that have a so-called cyber security law that under the pretext of stopping fake news with strict online journalism and encourages service providers to collect and share data on users and there's a new registration law requiring online news site. it's to pay thousands of dollars just to apply for a license if enforced it could put many sites out of business and discourage others from ever starting. the last remaining pays for free speech and for some professional journalism was the internet and they are trying everything they can to curdle this remaining space so they started with blocking these websites we have seen today find no provisions such as lengthy prison sentences. which means. working in these websites would have to observe so many precocious and red lines if

cyberspace was the last vestige of political activity then the state will regulate that as well just so that the intelligence apparatus has started to buy media outlets they have nastar infiltrating things like facebook and messenger and whatsapp and if for example you forward messages on whatsapp to several individuals what you get is this dissemination of false information charged under the terrorism law and so this chilling of society and of activism has now entered this realm of cyberspace where people cannot even report on reality. it's not as though the c.c. government needs laws to jail journalists al-jazeera is mahmoud hussein is one of dozens of reporters currently behind bars accused of disseminating false news to defame the state's reputation he's been imprisoned for more than two years solitary confinement but has never been charged that's against gyptian law and it's typical

. of these pretrial imprisonment as a means of technically not having any political prisoners the court case is set up you get sent to prison based on that court case that pretrial detention lasts for years without a trial ever taking place some gets really. some don't it's all part of a grand illusion manufactured by the regime but there are secret political currents working on toppling the regime and providing support for terrorist. president c.c. has grown accustomed to the journalistic red lines he has laid down with the egyptian media. has managed. and foreign news organizations reporting from inside the country are also feeling the heat as are egyptians who speak to them ten months ago this woman

told the b.b.c. her daughter had been forcibly disappeared she's been jailed accused of belonging to a terrorist group a reporter for the times of london was deported last year another journalist from france was denied entry cases that have not gone unnoticed by other correspondents based in part. they are trying different approaches. with foreign journalists if you criticize the government wouldn't give you the license to work in the country or suddenly. and we've been asked to leave. egypt they are all they all live in continuous state of intimidation and exile are not able to do that work the state is now creating a new strategy to deal with the correspondents in egypt where if they get something wrong like ok you got that wrong time corresponding to that wrong then sometimes

they push for credentials and so i think they are being more proactive in pushing for a certain narrative statist narrative about what's going on in. the member of the revolution broke the fear and access. barrier and people had no problem coming into squares and writing. i'm blogging and tweeting and saying what was happening. president stephen was very weary of the small meant of how can we consolidate power in a way where we can bridge turn the institutions controlled under the state and remove the independence that media has had for twenty years and that's exactly what we've seen. we'll have more on egypt in the second half of the show right now though we're looking at other media stories that are on our radar this week with one of our producers matt celebes are marcella the elections in israel are coming up in three

months time and it would appear that prime minister netanyahu is look who'd party wants to make media coverage an election issue what kind of signs are we seeing modest signs billboards as well as online campaigns here's a billboard that's near his party put up and tell of eve it shows for leading israeli journalists and that he bruce logan reads they will not decide the reporters from different outlets print and broadcast how to show t.v. news channel thirteen and the newspaper mary they've all been covering the corruption investigations against netanyahu including allegations of bribery fraud and breach of trust now those cases have been going on for a while now and on some of them involve other israeli media outlets you know they do one involves a newspaper or not netanyahu is accused of offering to change some of his government's media policies and the owner's favor in exchange for positive news

coverage and the other case involves an israeli telecoms for. netanyahu is alleged to have intervened with regulators on behalf again in return for glowing coverage on one of its news sites. netanyahu denies any wrongdoing in the cases he says the attorney general indicting him is colluding with the left and of course the media we don't see much of nicaragua in international news feeds however president daniel ortega his government is facing political unrest there how was that affected journalists trying to cover this story well it's getting harder for them to reporter many of had to flee the country the latest to go into exile is one of nicaragua's best known journalists gun laws fernando tamora is the editor of an independent website and conveniency and hosts a number of t.v. . news shows last month his news room was raided by police model said he and many other journalists have been facing extreme threats and there's a historical irony to this story tomorrow's father was also an outspoken journalist

in the one nine hundred seventy s. assassinated for his work during the summer as a dictatorship so what it was toppled in one thousand nine hundred seventy nine in a revolution led by the annular data and the left wing sundanese the rebels forty years later junior is holed up in costa rica on the run he says from the earth they are government ok thanks for some. back to egypt now and the talking heads egyptians call emperors every night millions tune in to televised talk shows that focus more on politics than entertainment the hosts of the programs lecture opine argue rant sometimes even cry their way through hours of air time talk show hosts form a key filter through which egyptians have come to view their politics and they have an outsized influence on the masses under abdel fattah el-sisi talk show hosts are expected to legitimize his presidency and vilify his critics when they do not they

have a habit of disappearing from the airwaves just like that television may be dwindling in importance in many countries but in egypt where literacy rates are low it remains the medium of the masses and few institutions are more influential than the evening talk shows and listening posts tarik naafa now in the highly politicized world of t.v. talk shows in each. to say that talk shows are the most important phenomenon in the way that government communicates with the public will be an undersea one then what i used under my baby shower feet in or out of many to most of it's consistent it's entertaining. you get the feeling as though you're sitting at a cafe with them. and don't mistake it for a moment this is not about bringing information to the people this is about

bringing the government this or that into your home instead of the. master of destruction and merchants of the absurd. the judge. making it high i know. that is a. bill in kenya that in a country where more than a quarter of the population is a literate the spoken word has an outsized influence by the public consciousness well known a lot of the north we're starting to think of course the gyptian love affair with talk shows began in the final years of the old regime of hosni mubarak loosened his grip on the media. the hosts of these shows were colorful opinionated everything their monochrome counterparts on state t.v. when not. after the revolution

a state restriction of temporarily fell away talk shows became a platform for lively popular debate everybody the talk shows were always political now they deeply politicized with hosts delivering a nightly diatribe that goes on and on and on the monologue can be up to a half hour in some cases forty five minutes where you have a host not only talking but working himself or herself up emotionally. married or sometimes you would have some video theatrical props. and the other thing is the interaction not only with the in studio guests but also with viewers at home for example we've seen relatives of some of the victims of the terrorist bombings where an audience member calls begins crying on the air. and the host begins crying as well i have got that. and as

a result the host becomes this emotional link this connection that brings people in their homes together i can see at least eighty percent of journalists i interviewed in egypt told me. to be first citizens and on the second professional journalists. say that there is a strong cord for subjectivity. and that is take a community set for c.s. the issue of the idea of objective journalism as trees and the importance of the personalities at play are beyond crucial without them the shows would crumble two of them happen to be the power couple of middle eastern talkers is the first and he is very likely the most handsomely paid only. he has a natural instinct of intelligence and the intelligence agencies recognise that his

wife is and she is a study in upper middle class the core and delivers her message. not as opinion but as fact how do. they plot to walk us through what the third person that comes to mind is the most grotesque figure of explicit propaganda comedies i have to show what i love while also not define it all that much. is loud fascist non-apologetic all what are you. i am going to i don't know what but he excels at hyperbolic nationalistic form of diatribe that appeals to the lowest common denominator. over the years the former to survives but the mission has changed president to for to him since he took power in two thousand and fourteen on

a wave of nationalist fervor vowing to return stability to egypt staking his legitimacy on combating terror. talk show hosts preventing the former general of the national savior who would stand between egypt and the chaos that was consuming the rest of the middle east and much. care if you could have. that you have a talent that would i have a high paying a shared sense of purpose panic and victimhood one of the key aspects of the stock shows is the way they whip up a sense of national emergency. shaaban most thought about but what about that me about that ok are you not only support the government if you bend over backwards so to speak so dissidents political prisoners are typically vilified they are portrayed as enemies of the nation as

a ballad and i do wish i had would and i do when the what. and if you portray anybody as an enemy of the nation in a time of emergency what you're saying it's ok to jail them it's ok to beat them up and in some cases it's ok to kill them talk shows i very prominent political tool or political platform for messaging you need to support that he she because said he she is facing unprecedented ventures coming from south side but also and mainly from inside there is a conspiracy coming from. so it was a prostitute oh military wife yani home the only other little bit of a i got mad when i was despotic they are under few scratch. every critical voice can be linked to some was aggressive a roster of the bad guys real imagined and otherwise is constantly evolving to suit

the needs of the state. qatar is now public enemy number one turkey is public enemy number two and iran is public enemy number three. a talk. about a. no larry it had me. and i think. and of course the ruler is featured prominently one way or another. there has always been a consistent awareness where the red lines are precisely and right now there are more outlines than there were ever been censorship is ubiquitous in egypt and takes many forms the government dictates the narrative and increasingly the intelligence services are getting in on the act over the past year they secretly acquired almost

all of egypt's privately owned t.v. networks having dispensed with media owners whose cooperation was never in doubt it was only a matter of time before attention turned to the big personalities fronts in egypt's talk shows this summer some of the country's best known hosts have played a pivotal role reinforcing president. a paradoxically disappeared from t.v. screens when you're going through. a little government story gets who went on vacation in august and never came back the regime in egypt has emasculated all of position it has controlled the media to a level of ninety eight or ninety nine percent they have muzzled civil society completely and so you wonder what is the remaining threat well i think the reason these talk show hosts do present a threat is because the government is at a stage where it does not tolerate even indirect influence it wants to have direct and immediate control over everything and you have to keep in mind that it all

comes down to information who has it and doesn't how it's delivered hats off to the c.c. regime for understanding the link between lack of education ease of dissemination obstruction of information the government has created an environment where disbursement of the nation. unless told by government is all but impossible. and finally a geography lesson delivered over twitter by none other than the israeli military this past week israel launched air strikes on iranian forces stationed in syria then the israeli government tweeted out a message to tehran you seem to be lost it said along with a map with one set of arrows pointing to the islamic republic where iran belongs it said and another arrow pointing to syria saying where iran is that kicked off a mean war and like many conflicts in the middle east powers on the outside were

drawn in the us russia and turkey among them check it out we'll see you next time there is a listing. in afghanistan billions of dollars of international aid have been donated to girls' education but where has the money gone when east meets girls desperate to learn and

asks why is the system failing them on al-jazeera. if you were looking at this from the outside you would really wonder what was going all what is this gross is a religion that they have an in-depth exploration of global capitalism and our obsession with economic growth this is still the center of capitalism there is no limits i view myself as a capital artist we are trying to break through the world smaller and smaller we
