bias training in special forces in afghanistan including the alleged killing of an unarmed man and his 6 year old child and a raid on their home as well as the killing of a detained taliban fighter at least 2 incidents are the focus of an ongoing defense force inquiry. the police raid targeted emails between the journalists and the sources and written notes draft scripts passwords photos and videos related to the afghan files in all more than $9000.00 items the warrant was served under the century old crimes act that the bids publication of classified material it's very unwelcome and serious development i think for people maybe who aren't in the media business sometimes talking about priests freedom can sound a bit like a cliche it is extremely unusual for an authority to exercise a warrant on a national public broadcaster like this and it is very serious on tuesday police searched the home of annica smita the award winning political editor of the media

organization news corp following his story on plans to expand domestic surveillance extremely alarming that incident then used to come on the back of it really suggest it was. the government laser attempting to star me frame of the press which of course is so awful. in recent years amnesty international has been calling for more transparency by the australian defense force for its actions in afghanistan the a.b.c. says it stands by its journalists we will be doing everything we can to limit the scope of this and we will do everything we can to stand by our reporters. and as a general observation we always do whatever we can stand by our sources of course police deny there is a link between the 2 media raids although they are related to the reelection of prime minister scott morrison this government 2 weeks ago shelob ellis al-jazeera.

it is. a course of a minister a key. a european judge tasked with imposing law and order and a trial row testing the nose of the news from the nation. witness. highway on al-jazeera. again and reminder the top stories here on out as they are more than 100 people are now known to have died in sudan after the military jointer began a brutal crackdown on monday live ammunition has been fired in the capital for

a 3rd successive day. yemen's hoofy rebels say they've taken control of more than 20 locations in saudi arabia territory. and australian police have raided the offices of a national public broadcaster over story which suggested that australian troops are being investigated for possible war crimes in afghanistan. now emergency talks are underway in the white house where mexican trade officials are trying to stop a 5 percent tariff coming into effect on monday mexico's foreign minister marcello abroad is leading discussions with the u.s. vice president mike pence president donald trump has threatened to impose a tax on all mexican goods if it can't reduce the number of migrants crossing into america let's speak now to our white house correspondent kimberly how so kimberly what is donald trump trying to achieve from all of this. well he's trying to keep a campaign promise donald trump made it a really

a central part of his 2016 presidential campaign and that was to clamp down on illegal immigration and since he has become president there's been a surge of migrants approaching the us mexico border and this is the trumpet ministration reached historic levels that has overwhelmed services along the southern border of the united states and the donald trump is pointing his finger at the mexican government saying that you haven't done enough to stop the migrants from transiting through mexico from central america so these are strong arm tactics by the u.s. president he's alleging that they could do more and that is what essentially the threat is that because donald trump says that the mexican government has not done enough he's putting in place these punitive measures 5 percent tariffs could go up to 25 percent even if with each month and 5 percent monthly increment if the mexican government doesn't demonstrate that it is doing more so that's the crux of these talks that are set to take place in about 15 minutes time is suddenly

a threat from the president is a threat there that he can carry elf. well here's the problem members of president trump's own republican party are not in agreement with him there's also the question about whether this is even legal because the president says he's going to use them urgency powers in order to put in place tariffs so there are real legal questions at the foundation of all of this and on top of this there's concern that this could harm one of the sort of things that donald trump both about and that is a trade deal where he has renegotiate essentially the north american free trade agreement now it's called the u.s. m.c.a. that a potentially congress may not approve that trade deal could put that in jeopardy not to mention that if these tariffs go into effect they could hurt u.s. businesses consumers cross border trade so there's a real effort by members of the president's own republican party to try and push back on that it may be a lot of donald trump sort of typical strong arm tactics felicity if you will what

we're already hearing is because of these threats there may be at this meeting some sort of overtures made by the mexican government to prove that they have been taking steps to stop the illegal migration through their country apparently a crackdown taking place with a caravan of migrants crossing through without visas so this may be one of the things that they will suggest that they are doing to the u.s. government in order to avoid these tariffs committee at the white house many thanks russia's president says both moscow and china want the situation in venezuela to stabilize fundament putin made the comments well hosting china's leader xi jinping who's on a state visit both countries are allied with venezuela's president nicolas maduro and also said toys with china are at an unprecedented level as both countries seek closer relations due to tensions with the u.s. of course locked in a trade war with washington while most close ties with america have been damaged

over the war in ukraine. you know if i'd been following 70 years of development relations between china and russia have reached the best level yet faced with opportunities for new development we decided to make full use of our experience together maintain our friendship and open up a new era of comprehensive strategic cooperation. muslim instead it is alleged last year we set a goal to reach 100000000000 of bilateral commodities turnover due to the efforts of our teams our 2 governments we exceeded this number we have 108000000000 in this year in the 1st quarter of the year trade is also on the increase is already more than 3.4 percent oh steadfast and said this update from. the relationship between both russia and china has reached an unprecedented level that's the message both teachin ping and president vladimir putin have sent to the world today they have been signing a series of documents and agreements scranton up to $22000000000.00 u.s.

dollars and interestingly put and sad that a lot of trade to be done on the national currencies russia of course is facing sanctions by the united states because of its crisis in ukraine and also china is facing trade tariffs so they both want to show to the united states are they have other friends as well to turn to last year in 2018 both countries had the highest level of trade after more than $100000000000.00 u.s. dollars and also on the international front russia and china have said that they want to stick to iran deal and also that the solution in north korea should be definitely a peaceful one but we have to bear in mind that the economy of russia of course is a lot smaller than that of china it's only $110.00 so whatever happens in the future and how i'm president and their relationship will be for the time being as the spokesman of fulton described it russia will still be looking to the west of

the russian eagle will fly both ways as you describe it and the same will be done by china. it is the 2nd anniversary of the start of the air sea and land blockade on catarrh by its neighbors saudi arabia the u.a.e. egypt and others accuse katter's leaders of supporting terrorism they consistently deny that and say talks can settle the dispute peacefully so let's take a look back at how this diplomatic dispute began or may the 20 of 2017 the us president donald trump lands in saudi arabia to meet king solomon and other arab leaders trump later took credit for saudis move against chatter in a series of tweets linking it to the summit just 3 days later the catarrh news agency is hacked attributing false statements to the emir their broadcast on saudi and iraqi media despite the cattery government saying its fake news then on june the 4th leaked e-mails from the u.s. ambassador to the u.s. reveal what appears to be a long running effort to discredit catarrh and that brings us to june the 5th when

diplomatic ties are cuts and an economic embargo is imposed over the last 2 years the us government has bolstered its support for both catarrh and saudi arabia mike hanna has more from washington on the balance in policy. become very good friends over a fairly short period of time president trump's close relationship with saudi leaders appeared to color his 1st reactions to the blockade the nation of qatar on fortunately has historically been a funder of terrorism. but within months the president had come full circle welcoming the emir of qatar at the white house and calling him a very big advocate of the war on terror sigrid honor to have the mirror of guitar with us it's a friend of mine knew it long before i entered the world of politics he's a great gentleman it's very popular in his country his people love him we're

working on unity in that part of the middle east and i think it's working out very well our military. cooperation is very solid very strong as everybody knows that the heart of fighting terrorism is from a low data base and. thank god it's been very successful campaign against. terrorist groups along to our region. be out of date air bases a centerpiece of the u.s. qatar relationship it serves as a forward headquarters of the u.s. central command and is a springboard for u.s. operations in more than 20 countries including iraq and syria when the u.s. sought to reduce its military involvement in afghanistan it turned to cutter to play a diplomatic role the capital doha hosting the 1st public direct talks between u.s. officials and the taliban and ministration really the same trial of color too

many of which political geo strategic and military to military needs concerned interest and objectives. the blockade though continues the u.s. position that outside pressure on either side would not contribute to the parties resolving it themselves. but as us wretched up its military deployment to the middle east in response to a mounting crisis with iran qatar is once again playing a crucial role. with the knowledge if not at the request of the u.s. secretary of state cutters foreign minister engaging in talks with irregular leaders in a bid to reduce the tension. and while the military benefits of the u.s. relationship with qatar are proven the full evidence of carter's diplomatic worth may yet be to come mike hanna washington a school in northeast india has told parents that their children won't get free

classes anymore unless they pay their fees with plastic waste students who go to actual form school in assam states must now collect $20.00 items of use plastic every week they are then recycled into eco bricks which can be used to construct school buildings toilets and pathways or scheme was introduced after parents ignored a plea from teachers to take part in a recycling project. the parents don't have to pay any money for the school but we tell them instead of money send us your plastic from your house if you want your child to study here for free you have to participate in the recycling efforts and every parent signs a pledge to never burn plastic again now artificial intelligence is making waves in the art world a robot called ada is having her focus 1st solo exhibition in the english city of

oxford all works have already been sold bringing in more than a $1000000.00 charlie angelo has been to see what all the fuss is about. like any artist ada says she's a little anxious revealing her art to the public for the 1st time. to create core traits like this takes a picture of her subject using the camera and her eye an algorithm then interprets that photo and randomly translates it into coordinates she plots paper the outcome is loose and expressive almost abstract a result of deliberately adding flaws into what would otherwise be a very expensive printer her creators argue that she is innately creative in that what she produces is new surprising and of value her works have all sold printing in over $1200000.00 but they also want her to stimulate debate about the future of artificial intelligence and how it will change humanity by technology. of

automation because of dramatic effect on the world because the scale ability of the . if it were we need to have a public debate about this as to where this is all going ot is a great vehicle to be able to do that ages are the mode is abstract interpretation of trees the sea and be producing fragmented pictures been painted over by humans here at oxford university professors are exploring the new frontier that is artificial intelligence but some don't believe that robots like helping the debate what ai and automation will look like in the future is not humanoid robots but more like mechanical arms and warehouses or checkout tills at tesco and so when we have embodied robots that show women young attractive women we're kind of doing a disservice to the conversation we could be having about the future that we want

for humanity ada's work is art by algorithm highlighting some of its limitations but also its potential and as we give machines more decision making power in areas like health care transport and security this world view seen by algorithm could become the dominant reality charlie and that al-jazeera oxford. and you can find out much more about that story and many others that we're following by going to our web site you should address is al jazeera dot com al-jazeera dot com us on the front page looks like at the moment meeting on the latest situation in sudan do you check out the website for news i'm sports. and her mind at the top stories on al-jazeera more than 100 people are now known to have died in sudan after the military genter began a brutal crackdown on monday the main process site outside the army headquarters in

america. and those were his headlines here on al-jazeera more news from us in about 25 minutes time the stream looks at the hospitals under attack in syria next. and here in the stream today hospitals under attack in syria why are medical facilities still being targeted by syrian government and russian forces also in the show a social media warning from behind and where what you follow online could land you into legal trouble and finally in australia why did federal police raid the country's public broadcasting offices we are live on al-jazeera as always you can

join the conversation on twitter or on our you tube live stream. this doctor says' even this children's hospital couldn't escape the regime's telling despite coordinates being shared with the u.n. . well the big switch to it was during the airstrikes my wife and daughters were also at the hospital but i had to keep them here to be able to evacuate the others the hospital was full it was tough to decide and keep the crew safe at the same time we have only 2 options either stay or die following the syrian regime's latest airstrikes targeting the health facilities in and let medical workers think they are being deliberately targeted aid organizations are scared to send crews into syria leading to a shortage in medical supplies people say here it is much easier to find weapons than finding medicine. that report was from al jazeera seen i'm closer to and had

pictures one of more than 25 health facilities that have been bombed in northwest syria since the syrian government and russian forces began their offensive and rebel controlled it live why are the attacks allowed to continue and what impact is it having on syrian communities over that's to discuss this is the co-founder and president of the n.g.o.s mad global factors that is the here and welcome to the story welcome back to the stream you were just in it live how are hospitals and medical staff coping. they're praying for the best i mean i visited last week i'm back in chicago where things are nice and for our patients here in the hospital we have access to health care and we spend of course tons of money to save one life in syria the doctors and nurses struggle to save the lives of their patients and save their. business. all of them

have been already about their future and whether there are still be still standing in the next week or not and then life of that 25 those that were bombed in southern lebanon or then how much. by the way when a hospital is bombed it means that you are depriving the local population from access to health care that mean if your kids are sick you cannot take them to the hospital he thought back to meet them. months pregnant you cannot go out and deliver babies when someone has a chronic condition or a heart attack they cannot go to the hospital and that will lead to displacement of population in the last 4 weeks at 14 for the united nations about 300000 syrians have been displaced from southern lebanon or than how much one of the main reason is the targeting bombing of schools and markets of course targeting civilian infrastructure. and that targeting comes in the headlines like this so have a look here this from the independent doctors in italy will no longer share

coordinates of hospitals with the united nations after repeated attacks from russian and syrian forces so online of course this is cost quite a stir their tweets circulating like this one resign who says this will be a good time to lobby all u.n. member states end up holding their responsibility to protect it is necessary now more than ever the u. when of course is that body that so many people look to for safety and for help so the idea now that doctors and medical staff are deliberately having to go out of their way not to tell the u.n. about their locations for their own safety seems to. seem strange seems odd and scary talk to us about that. it's actually absurd to talk about this process which is called the conflict thing which is basically sharing your g.p.s. coordinate with that international the u.n. expecting that the u.n. will protect u.n. expecting also the members of the u.n.

security council not to target we're talking about a specific earlier russia but it is also part of our norms and ethics humanitarian medical community and community not to target those ambulances and doctors even the time 450 years based on geneva conventions protocols doctors and beyond that should not be targeted should not be had should not be doctors should not be killed nurses even in the time of war even if they are treating the injured pfizer's we're talking about treating communities here treating kids i mean i visited the birth center in which treating children and women and they are worried that they will be targeted and bomb like any other hospitals that were bombed in the nearby villages they are now doing most of their operations in the basement of the bus in the upper floor because they're more likely. or the upper floors to be bomb some of the hospitals or even beginning the hospital building them inside a mountain digging them out in

a cave to protect the nation and in spite of that they are being so this conflict in process is not helping 9 of the 25. shared your passport as with the un there was no investigation about that there is no accountability and that's why you are keeping you hearing about these those being targeted that purpose that you and it's not to report about that but to investigate them and assigned it will it be and this is not happening even though that you have $500.00 if. that were already physicians for human rights from the beginning of the crisis russian and syrian government forces have been criticized of course and i want to play a clip from the u.n. ambassador the russian ambassador because they've been criticized for violating humanitarian law so have a listen to a cd that i've been jackies fresh u.n. ambassador and this is his defense to the u.n. on may 17th. but it's that mr president we categorically reject

accusations of violations of international humanitarian law neither the syrian army nor the air force of russia or are conducting attacks against civilians or civilian infrastructure our target is the terrorists and this is what some of you prefer not to mention new bullets so he says it's about quote unquote terrorism what's the response. and there's live problems there is 3000000 people 1000000 of them are children what i've seen in my eyes in all of these hostels that i visit this city and who are being treated children newborn in could get there's women who are having the sections and delivering patients with chronic diseases in the attack that happened the same day that i was visited. there was an open market that i visited it was bustling with with with with life because people are shopping for the month of ramadan right after we left it was hit with emmett till

a mother and her 3 babies were killed in that market these are not terrorists these are civilians who are living in their cities and villages because that's where they live they don't want to be refugees and actually there is no way for them to be refugees because turkey has sealed the border in the north so the only way that they can do is to stay living in their in their neighborhoods and cities and these are basically killing them displacing them mutilating them and causing a lot of stress on the civilian population i think. that there is an investor should be ashamed that not only that his government is supporting a government that is targeting civilians and hospitals and schools in a way that we have not seen and that he sent conflict this is you know never has been but also he's lying about that so i want to end with a comment we got from the president of the syrian american medical society of course of which you used to be a part of this is afghanistan actually and here's what he told the stream many of our doctors and nurses lost 2 lawyers in syria. many of our hearts walls were

targeted and destroyed over the last 80 years. we were into every community service that we made sure that our patients are see. now it is time for the law to protect us. we want to heal everybody in syria we want to heal syria. i think for that comment we'll have to pause the conversation on syria now for now but thank you to the header for giving us that update our next topic is in danger which is warning its citizens to think twice before following social media accounts that share negative opinions about the government the country's ministry of interior sent a text message late last week dividing the phones saying citizens could face legal action following accounts which are biased or incite discord so how about any activists responding in berlin cited use of

a blogger and human rights activists from beheading the as vice president of the group said i am for democracy and human rights and in melbourne australia. is a spokesperson for the gulf institute for democracy and human rights welcome to the stream both of you we also reached out to the government to share their views in this segment and they have not yet responded so studied what was your reaction to the announcement. well i think this and i was made by the government to get it to consider and show the think about him and that is not interested at all if you don't i mean and then there would be deficient for a position. i would say at a position fair was fairness in the street many wrote this many put this executed and victims to it executed more of that of photos of political dead to news were arrested for a political reason and torture is ongoing and the government can use to.

this that oppression reach to the social media not only in this city and so it is a skill a thing showed that government. targeting all people who are criticizing the government on social media and not only that but even following on social media is sick is a crime and you know i want to share with our audience and you too as well a couple of tweets from the ministry of interior so this from june 1st anti cybercrime countering and citing social media accounts that promotes addition is a national duty and it's part of the community partnership to protect the security and the safety of the nation here is another one individual's providing support and backing to those accounts through comments will be held accountable so what do we know about that word accountable what do we know about the legal recourse and what the government is planning. of course the government is planning to take illegal

legal actions they will enter gay people who follows those accounts they will arrest some of those people they would accuse them of inciting hatred into the community and disturbing the public order the government of the hurricane does not accept any kind of criticism and does not accept any kind of demanding that people's basic rights and to freedoms they are campaigning there are reading all of all the kinds of freedoms and in the country the people are not allowed. to speak about their demands about the rights they are not either. speak about their human rights abuses and violations they are subjected to. as they said i want them for 4000 political prisoners and the behind me jeeves those prisoners are subjected to every kind of torture you can imagine and nobody is a lot about them anybody who would dare to speak about these actions and abuse it is going to be arrested is going to be accused of state charges and

is going to be subjected to torture to do on says. to contest that he did commit those charges and to sign on those 3 confessions so the government is trying to silence all the critics the government is trying to silence all the people in the country they are trying to control what what do they think in a month or so and when we talk about control i want our audience just to be clear because definitely for the people that are watching the stream now and will watch it later social media is a part of their daily lives so mark owen jones as a writer and a professor writes this is verging on the absurd but am is now saying that simply following accounts that spread discord which isn't defined is illegal clearly made by people who really don't understand social media and say that's because following an account doesn't necessarily mean the you agree with without account has to say do you think this is

a surprise taking it to this step. state yes i didn't feel predicted that's ok the idea of following someone on social media for some online seems like it's a bit of a far reach what do you make of that. what i think it's these since scientists by the government i mean but it is using the legal profession to silent these it like i just give you one example like my colleague and friend may be able to prove sentenced to 5 years in jail for a tweet it's also a clear example of power the government has started getting those who are to criticize think them and the internet and the example is of but i am sure you are was also recently voted tory it's. posted on social media so i mean it's clear that there is an oppression on those people who are

criticizing their government and the internet also i want to. report that without board that $167.00 out of a. country in the interest of free press and so that show you with a liberal of progression to where we are facing and biting you mention his word on this show several times we got a comment from someone who also mentions him and other people who might be affected by this this is joyce she's the head of advocacy at the index on censorship and she sent us this video comment in the answer to this extremely concerned about the latest crackdown bahrain we're not surprised because it's part of the pattern of the start of regimes suppressing freedom of expression and persecuting human rights defenders such as an appeal for jobs for example who is in prison and. we think it's been extremely important that the international community should lose its disposal something it isn't

a bilateral relationship our brand of this is not acceptable. well it's about how will this impact people's daily lives especially those who are involved with criticism or critiquing the government. the government is. making. a it is promoting fear among this isn't so there are any citizens are now free if they want to just follow an account or if they want just to read about something like it was on facebook or anything else they feel that they are not free to do thought the i'm not 3. to do whatever they want on social media any word or any like simply to like something on facebook or twitter will lead them maybe to to prison and. not to meant not to forget to mention that the government had closed they only independent newspaper in the country i was at

a newspaper. late in the previous year to talk there is no and no press freedom of the country not freedom of the over expression and people are being restricted. from everything they want to do or they might speak about. maryam on twitter says this is an absolute infringement our rights to freedom of association and expression it also sets a dangerous precedent as it's basically a green light to the police to police even the simplest forms of civic engagement that is all the time we have for now on this subject but thank you saeed and fatah men our community for joining us and on to our final segment but all police in australia have raided the headquarters of the national broadcaster a.b.c. police are searching for information related to a series of reports from $27.00 team called the afghan files and it a.b.c. journalist cited leaked classified documents accusing australian special forces of unlawful killings and afghanistan here's the a.b.c.'s editorial director craig

mcmurtrie. to have a warrant executed on the headquarters of the national public broadcaster in this way i can't state it enough is an unwelcome development it is really serious and we take it very very seriously and you know. it feels uncomfortable because this is a personal comment it's not the australia i know for example i've been a reporter in this country for a long long time and it's not what we expect that's why it feels so unusual and uncomfortable it should be uncomfortable and we should stand up and call of that out. well here with us is peter charlie executive producer of al-jazeera as investigative unit for al-jazeera he was a journalist and documentary producer in australia and a contributor to the a.b.c. so peter welcome to the stream this a.b.c. story went out 2 years ago so why is it that we're seeing this happen today well

it's a very good question and one i think that all is fairly and journalists are asking a new conservative government was voted in just last month and it's curious the timing of this raid and a raid the day earlier on a news limited reporter who'd also reported on national security issues it does froze the question why now and why coming why are they coming down so hard on journalists really for the 1st time in my memory. course the other raid is definitely circulating on twitter you see this week from tim who says yesterday it was i mean today it's the a.b.c. a.f.p. 2nd raid on journalists in as many days so what a fact of course is this going to have its new so then also what effect will it have on journalism in australia well the great danger with this of course is it's going to have a chilling effect on whistle blows clearly the a.b.c. road was not necessarily at the reporters involved they were named in the in the

search warrant it's aimed at trying to identify and together evidence on the whistleblower himself and the most likely logical outcome is it was all blows will be afraid to step up know they'll be afraid to come forward with information they believe is of important public interest in this of course this obese to see story is a very important public interest story so here's the a.b.c.'s editorial director craig mcmurtrie again commenting on the afghan files have a look. this was outstanding reporting its 2 years ago was it was challenging continent it was looking at the conduct of special forces in afghanistan it wasn't an easy subject matter to report on but i invite anybody who wants to have another look at that content to take a look at it because it was clearly in the public interest and sometimes difficult truths have to be told. difficult to hear him there of course defending the

reporting and defending that report what was your reaction and as a journalist who's worked there who's worked in australia now is abroad what was your reaction when you 1st heard this i was horror of i think it's an absolute outrage that there's a could when i woke up to this news this morning i was mortified to hear that my colleagues at the a.b.c. had been braided. revealing this very important story and as you pointed out it's 2 years since the story went away so why now the is trailing federal police coming in with such a road i mean there are many questions that need to be honest here so there's 2 opposing ideas on twitter among our community the 1st is lochlyn who says the raid set a dangerous precedent for police authority the power granted by the warrant is in direct contrast to a free press a free press is a core element to any democracy and i worry that today's events have put us on a slippery slope to auto autocracy and media censorship but on the other side of that spectrum is last who tweets some journalists had made this out to be the end

of free speech over this investigation indicating their careers are finished i don't believe so and i respect quality journalism without breaching the rules so it's not breaching rules part because he's not alone there with that sentiment online what do you make of that what does this what does this indicate to you well look i disagree entirely with the 2nd tweet and i agree with laughlin who were to express the 1st sentiment rules being broken i don't know exactly what's meant by that reporters here have revealed to the public what i think is an extremely important public interest story about an investigation ongoing in the department of defense about allegations of the special forces killing civilians and the child and i think the australian public has a right to know that and the fact that the police are trying to start. it would seem that sort of whistle blowing is very very troubling to me and i think i'd take

it a step further than craig mcmurtrie his comments i think it's an agreed it's overreach on the part of the government and the police you mentioned the change in office so the prime minister and the home affairs minister both say that they have nothing to do with this timing of course online people are saying the timing is here yes what do you make of the timing just from your and and a little view of this from afar well it raises a number of questions and it just seems very very peculiar that just a couple of weeks after the election of a conservative government these raids take place years after the stories went away so you know i think a number of questions need to be answered and further investigation is required yes the prime minister and the home affairs minister of distance themselves from the right but the raids had to a been referred to the federal police by someone and i think that's the that's the important question we need to answer but the tweet here from laughlin who says

setting a precedent which allows for the government to barge in with a warrant and shut down journalists each time they're being held responsible for atrocious crimes is both reckless and dangerous from journalists from your fellow journalists back in australia what are you hearing from them now they're very worried i mean this is govan as the journalistic community in a stroller and there's a real sense of concern and fear within the journalist community that this may represent the 1st of possible through the steps encroaching into journalistic of dependence and trying to posing a chilling effect on investigative journalism and the sense of freedom that whistle blows might have once felt that they can come forward with the information they feel the public needs to know peter charlie thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us that's all the time we have for now thanks of course our community for joining us. and thank you for watching at home you have a story idea that you want to see on this stream tweet us at a.j.
