a rare press briefing for journalists here in that meeting area once said that freedom of the press was of quote vital importance to him it was a statement that failed to square with the facts let alone the numbers because for each of the past 3 years ever since july of 2016 when an attempted coup failed to depose erda one turkey has imprisoned more journalists than any other country in the world in this program we will take you behind those numbers unraveling a complex and sometimes contradictory picture a story that we'll examine in 3 parts to begin with we'll look at the many journalists who have fled turkey to avoid ending up behind bars later the ironic flipside to that story how a country that's been described as a living hell by many of its own reporters has become a safe haven for journalists from other countries primarily arab ones who come here to work for fear of being jailed at home in between we'll get

a perspective on the government's treatment of journalists including behavior that borders on the dictatorial. from one of president to one stanchest supporters in the turkish news media but 1st a listening post flo phillips on journalists in exile part one. just a few months before i was kicked out i was a already attracted a lot of attention by the government with my reporting back that. there was a arrest warrant against me we thought that they wouldn't come to the newspaper so i actually stayed in the newspaper overnight but they came to the new server and my editors were staying with me so they told me that i should flee from back door. i left turkey because of the prosecution's that has been brought against i had already been to jail for my journalism so this time i chose a different path. i

was facing 20 to 25 years in jail my passport has been revoked so like many refugees i got on a boat and crossed the marriage river to greece well to say when you understand english i published the story about the government of turkey who was trafficking it to a neighboring country illegally. i found myself in jail 1st and then he makes. of course leaving the country was the easy decision i left my hometown my family went to all my papers my library my dog. everything my life. left behind. but they knew that this is the price of being

a journalist. john. chad ash kept saying. just. 3 among school is a turkish journalists now living in exile for the past few years the government of president has carried out an aggressive campaign monitoring targeting prosecuting and jailing reporters the some the situation became so dire that only option was to flee the jungle was one of the most prominent newspaper editors in turkey he ranjan her at the country's oldest daily center left paper that week team investigated and took home the ruling government for the past 3 years he's been living here in berlin he came here after spending time in a turkish prison for publishing a story that exposed illegal arms support weapons that the turkish intelligence services were providing fighters in syria he was sentenced to almost 60 years

behind bars and he decided that life in turkey was no longer an option. and. he couldn't deny the story because it was true but he said it was a state secret so true good for me you know i was getting a lot of threats by the government and by the caller i was attacked in front of the court told. i saw someone coming to me. he called me this great so you were convicted for revealing state secrets but you pleaded innocent and were appealing the decision why didn't you stay in the country to play on day because. i lost trust in traditionally. of to the military quit. going to change the whole system the 1st thing he has done was to arrest the high judges who decided for

a release so they're still in jail adult independent justice really can't defend yourself soledad until being. putting my hat into the computer. on july 15th 2016 a faction of the turkish army attempted a coup it was a spectacular. using some of the very media outlets he's been attacking the other one running popular support stopping the coup in its tracks. on. the government pin the blame on the gunas movement forces loyal to the islamist cleric photo cooling a one time ally turned and. the event was a watershed moment in the country's history and for the media it marked a seismic shift in them for. within 2 weeks more than

100 media outlets had been shut down and in the years since those considered inconvenient to the government have been taken over by over one allies while journalists critical of his policies have been systematically rounded up and imprisoned. one of the media houses forced to close with zama a company widely seen as close to the good in his movement magazine a lot of work to zam an english language newspaper today's emma but his struggle with the government had started well before the coup on 25th of december 2 dozen 13 i wrote an article about the corruption case which targeted president so when i wrote that story all hell broke loose for me one of the. just published my picture just saying that turkey beware of this traitor and on that they present are due on pressed charges against me thinking after 6 years in prison why do you think the

government and other one specifically took such extreme measures. yes there are some red lines that you should not cross one of them is undoubtedly corruption investigations that target the present iraq and the other thing is the military coup attempt you cannot question it there's also the kurdish issue there are over 60 journalist. who are deported from the country and most that most of them or kicked out of expelled from the country just because they wrote about kurdish issue kurdish conflict. the battle in the southeast of the country between turkey and kurdish insurgents demanding equal rights nor tommy. has lasted more than 40 years the leading insurgent group classified as a terrorist out. is the kurdistan workers' party on the p.k. . the group its leaders and its message are all red line issues covering human

rights abuses by turkish forces is fraught with challenges and kurdish language media operate under significant restrictions. chadash kaplan was one of 32 kurdish journalists arrested 2011 for him the most dispiriting thing was not so much his arrest but the lack of support and solidarity from his fellow journalists. just the journalists who didn't speak up for the kurdish media back then today they are the ones being victimized i hope my colleagues don't mind my criticisms because i criticize them on any platform for example zemo newspaper when the man was shot down i defended them and said it was illegal but when i was arrested in 2011 so many labeled me oppressed terrorist. he's absolutely right and i think. yesterday and today failed to support those causes and that's the tragedy. is that

the victim does not support the other victims and kurds have always been alone in this fight. they're not alone anymore all 3 of these exiled journalists have been classed as quote terrorists by the turkish state we contacted various representatives of the government requesting interviews however none of the officials agreed to speak with us. from their homes in athens washington d.c. and berlin kept plans in a lab and continue with their journalism it hasn't been an easy journey particularly so. what sort of pressure or intimidation have you continued to feel both from the turkish government but also from the pro i don't want supporters living here in germany. 8 and they're a little for at all fanatics around and they're trying to intimidate and there's an. intelligence. to this here i guess there are informants among the

society another one himself came to germany and called you out is that right. there . you've just relieved he has from government to give me back to turkey things got german government knows what what's going on into. the some of turkey's exiled journalists those goings on resemble a living hell one in which the ability to report freedom to hold power to account and to expect process seems all but dead and buried. in the father's freedom of the press in this country has been buried in a big grave byo leaders not just by it we have to fight for it just like our other rights we have the power to dig up these fundamental rights from the grave but we can only do that by resisting otherwise it's impossible that. we

wanted to get the urge to want government's response to some of the allegations made by saying a lot and kept. journalists the turkish state calls terrorists we requested interviews with a number of senior state officials including the president's director of communications his spokes person and his special advisor none of them agreed to speak. so we asked for an interview with jim and air 2 on loyalist and a prominent face on the privately owned t.v. channel t g r t. agree with strict conditions he said he did not want to answer any questions about the turkish government's handling of specific journalists in particular the exiled reporters we interviewed he said our questions would be better answered by a representative of the state he did however defend certain other statements about the media made by president bear to juan and some of his closest advisers telling

sanctions the deal does have a dispute resolution mechanism france says that won't be triggered though at least for now that if the dispute can't be resolved un sanctions could follow we'll have reaction from washington in a moment. more from tehran is the boldest step iran has taken so far in its choreographed campaign to reduce compliance with a 2015 nuclear deal on sunday morning it announced it would start enriching uranium to higher levels than allowed under the joint comprehensive plan of action. in a few hours the technical process will come to an end and enrichment above 3.67 percent will begin tomorrow when the i take the sample the level will be higher. iranian leaders warned for months if the international community did not help their country reap the benefits guaranteed in the way it will no longer honor its commitments the level of enrichment is unclear but senior leaders have suggested it

could be as high as 5 even 20 percent still far from the 90 percent needed for weapons grade uranium there has been a flurry of diplomatic activity in recent weeks with meetings of the united nations security council and the commission in vienna there was hope that an injection of cash into instax or european bypassed u.s. banking sanctions might convince iran not to roll back cooperation in stakes. in stakes is a good 1st step is taking too long it can only be successful if europe by some well located some credit to it is not useful yet but is politically significant in a call with president hassan rouhani on saturday night french president emanuel acknowledged that nations had been unable to mitigate u.s. sanctions but he also warned his iranian counterpart of the consequences of weakening the deal mccrone and rouhani have agreed to a deadline of july 15th for all parties to resume talks what comes next is unclear . so far the international atomic energy agency the un's nuclear watchdog has

issued 15 separate reports confirming iran's cooperation with a j c p o a when iran breached a nuclear stockpile limit last week the i.a.e.a. refrained from reporting that as a violation with this latest move that could change. everyone benefited from us adopting the j.c. the u.s. made a strategic mistake by leaving it but we will not stay in it at any cost the decision taken today is in order to preserve the j.c. but it depends on other parties now to say the deal is fragile is to perhaps understate the complicated power dynamics at play the united states pulled out of the nuclear deal in may last year reimposing unilateral sanctions crippling an economy that was experiencing a long awaited period of growth since then remain. signatories to the deal have been caught in the middle of escalating tensions between to ron and washington but despite recent military escalation in the gulf at its core this dispute is economic and putting pressure on the seems to be iran's way of dealing itself

a stronger hand you can type it all so when about the u.s. can attend meetings if sanctions are lifted how would that process go 1st orlin banking sanctions and then other things that led to status before the u.s. pulled out of the deal iran was exporting up to 2800000 barrels of oil a day as one of the largest producers in the world it wants back into the international oil market for now the spokesman of iran's atomic energy agency says it will not renew work at nuclear facilities that was halted as part of the j.c.b. away but iran's deputy foreign minister had a warning iran can do so whenever it wants and if in the coming 60 days their demands are not met that's exactly what iran might do next zain bus ravi al-jazeera . and the us president donald trump has warned iran against breaching that uranium limits set by the deal thank you thing only for free thank god thank.

charlatans he has more from washington i moved on from the warning to iran to be cow for trump did also say something rather interesting he said he was suggesting that all he was doing was expediting a process that would have to happen anyway because of the various pauses in the j.c. theo area of the iran nuclear deal there are a various various moments 20252030 where new negotiations have to occur in order to keep the iranian nuclear view growing so what he was saying was that we were going to have to have those negotiations anyway all i'm trying to do is to get a better deal. the problem is with this presentation of all the transactions as a consumer by getting the best deal possible the deal maker in chief as iran always points out it's very difficult to take that 3 seriously to take that that that idea that you're simply have the best interests of everyone of heart when you're filling the entire gulf region with weaponry when you're starving the iranian economy and

its people with of resources through silent sions and you're surrounded by people who've always made it very clear that they'd rather like to bomb iran to pieces so this is the problem that we face and the other problem of course is we have the jury c.p.o. a what does donald trump possibly think would be a better deal it's simply not clear opposition leader it's a talker says he has a strong clear mandate to change greece following a snap election center right new democracy party when i sweeping victory fishing prime minister alexis tsipras out of office has more from athens. the leader of the new democracy party got 40 years to pull not just a majority but an outright one that allows the conservatives to rule on their own for the 1st time in 15 years because we took these says it will allow him to implement an ambitious reform program unhindered by coalition partners occlusion

asking close but this wasn't just an expression of the will to close a painful chapter for our country it was much more than the back to the feet of the people in their strength is the desire to take our feet into our own hands the news to prove that we can do great things you know own country. the pressure is now on me to thank you's to deliver on his promise to bring growth to the greek economy and helped create 700000 jobs in his 1st term he's planning to do it partly through tax cuts but greece can only afford them if the international bailout creditors agree to cut repayments it's a goal that eluded previous governments since the beginning of government austerity measures imposed in 2. and 10 when greece faced bankruptcy because of its massive debts the victory of me to thank yous and 4 and a half years of rule by cities a prime minister alexis to put us raised the coalition of the radical left from obscurity to seize power from the new democracy party in the last election in 2015

promised he would be the vanguard of a left wing revolution across europe to defeat the austerity policies imposed on greece that caused recession and unemployment. ultimately capitulated to those policies in order to keep greece in the eurozone despite series a raising the minimum wage cutting sales tax and offering more benefits to pensioners this year it seems to have been too little too late but it. looked like . receive mr missa talk into the palace so to hand over to him the office of prime minister as is done in the democratic stage i would like to for the vote of my heart thank all the members and friends of our party who gave a good fight in a viable condition. in order to double its growth rate of growth. greece will need huge levels of foreign investment in the coming years and that will be perhaps the biggest challenge on the economic front and that needs a lot of structural reform which sometimes takes time there's more at stake here

than the economy for the past decade greeks have watched their politicians being dictated to by the creditors the international monetary fund and the euro because those politicians didn't want to assume ownership of unpopular reforms. like his predecessors it's a thank you says he wants to restore greek sovereignty and dignity but unlike when he wants to do it in collaboration with european union partners. amnesty international is urging the u.n. to investigate the so-called war on drugs in the philippines which it's described as murderous in a new report the rights group says extrajudicial executions are still being carried out and in some cases can be directly linked to police the report found victims of the crackdown are overwhelmingly from poor and marginalized communities. to continue the war on drugs warning the final 3 years of his term will be the most

dangerous for people and you know alan they're going to live for us and mandela israel and with comments like that he's been very open about his war on drugs or been previous reports about what this really means so what's what's new what's different in this report. well we show of this particular report is a continuation of what amnesty international released in 2017 but what makes this different is that it focuses on one particular area in northern philippines you know now which has been described by amnesty as the latest killing fields of drug related killings but there is one particular pattern according to amnesty international police commanders from different parts of metro manila have been moved to block and province they have been given how your ranking positions and many of them despite being having links to a police related cases in the past and then that follows the sharp rise of drug related killings in that particular area it also says that there is

a growing pattern of what they called men in black or men in bonnets those on motorbikes going around basically involved in killings as well of course at this point the main purpose of this report according to amnesty international is to appeal to the international criminal court to expedite its preliminary investigation on possible cases of crimes against humanity in particular against the government of president rodrigo declare day there have been 53 communications received by i.c.c. from the philippines from different organizations urging the i.c.c. to conduct an investigation and to hopefully file cases against the president draghi good declared this administration but you know richelle as many statements in the past the government has always to acted the same way to investigations like this it has always reacted dismissively and the recent reaction of the president's presidential spokesperson it says that amnesty international is just.
