listening post is coming up next thank you very much for watching. talked to al jazeera. problems and besides the instability is corruption we listen. who are pushing the united states and president trump into conflict we meet with global newsmakers and talk about the stories that matter is there a. speaking out against trans racist tweets about writing a story that women of color. probably rice krispies just. to. round trip. alarm richard burton you're at the listening post here are some of the media stories that we're covering this week that's what i said in a tweet which i guess some people think is controversial donald trump and the
11:22 pm
touchy question of when does political rhetoric become straight up racism there are lessons to be learned and not just for journalists and news outlets hardliner the b.b.c. iran and a case of selective distribution and serbian war criminals turned authors rewriting history from behind bar politics often comes down to a war of words and these days the coverage of the trump white house is caught up over one word racist and whether or not it should be used to describe the american president after donald trump told 4 congress women of color to go back to the countries they came from even though 3 of them are american born some u.s. media outlets are still stopping shy of using the r. were the 4 democratic congresswoman in question 2 of whom are muslim do not mince their words when talking about trump's border control policies and what they call concentration camps they were as outraged in describing their visits to those camps
11:23 pm
as the vice president mike pence was indifferent jury and hits the juxtapose imagery and rhetoric that the 2 visit. produced the war of words that followed are all reflective of the place in which the u.s. finds itself ahead of the 2020 elections a nation of opposing political narratives where trump's white nativist message is facing more and more pushback from a new progressive force on the political left our starting point this week is donald trump's twitter account. where does one even begin when tweets like these come out of the white house had those 4 progressive democratic congresswoman actually taken president trump's advice left washington and drawn back to the crime infested places from which they came alexandria ocasio cortez would jump on a train to new york city she did to leave would catch a flight to detroit and diana presley would buy
11:24 pm
a ticket for cincinnati of the 4 only ill hand omar was born outside the country making her just as american as the 1st lady of the united states if not as white boards christian. it should come as a surprise to anybody. in the free world the president of the united states if every 5th to have called the new hero of the great 5th when he openly announced. what his new show diversity think it is incredibly rare but if we knew him over a 5th when he afraid that muslim for cheering the burning of the twin towers during 911 which was manifestly untrue i saw people getting together in fairly large numbers celebrating as the world trade center was coming down killing.
11:25 pm
people calling him i think this particular formulation which you go back to where you come from. and that of course is something that has been said over and over in american culture to people i know when i was a kid as a black person walking down the street and my hometown every now and then the white kids would yell i want to go back where you came from. and his base they're probably numerous people use expressions like that to people of color america great i mean i saw it resonated. for progressives who have been nicknamed the squad have been a thorn in the president's side ever since their election to congress in 2018. the conflict escalated on june 30th when 3 of the congress women ocasio cortez and presley visited 2 migrant detention centers in texas. with.
11:26 pm
great from there. although the cameras following them were not allowed in the women emerged with stories of overcrowding and squalid conditions they compared the facilities to concentration camps and then reported their findings to congress. mr speaker we do have a crisis at our border it is one of morality clearly created by the top administration dead and sending a message that those seeking refuge are not welcome in america or american the trumpet ministration countered last week sending the vice president on a similar visit it was an alternative photo op and it was no accident that mike pence appeared unmoved by what he saw. what they promised coming into office was that they were going to crack down that they were going to stem the tide of
11:27 pm
migrants coming across the border i would build a great wall and nobody builds walls better than they believe me and so every day since then has. an exercise in trying to show the base that they're doing exactly what they said they were. so what we saw was vice president pence standing outside of these pens where men were gathered wearing the clothes across the. screen that they needed the basics. and we also saw nice present who didn't seem particularly moved by any of this in terms of the intentionality of the optics i think what we can say is that unfortunately there is a segment a trance things that actually like seeing people of color being detained or being policed being mistreated and unfortunately. that's what i said in a tweet which i guess some people think is controversial a lot of people love it by the way after treating his go back where you came from message the president was accused of playing the race card i think that they are
11:28 pm
not espousing the views of our country before congresswoman he reacted the way he often does when challenged over his choice of words he double dare they make it stay that they should love our country covering the story created a dilemma for american news outlets in the same way that many of them are hesitant to call donald trump a liar when he constantly misleads americans there has been a reluctance to call the author of what are clearly racist statements a racist. there is a history in this country in debates about race. to. tell people who call someone a racist that you shouldn't do that because being a racist is something that is psychological that is inside a person it is their personal attitude. and since you can't read their mind you can talk in terms of their behavior and you can talk in terms of the words that they
11:29 pm
use or whatever but you can't say that person is a racist that you don't know exactly what they. and sad believe it so that is why everybody was tiptoeing around being careful and using the language in that way because they didn't want somebody to come back and say well how do you know i'm a racist this president has made it pretty clear what's in his heart from the very beginning and even if not we can look at his actions in office we can look at what he's doing on the border those actions speak for themselves where the comments from the president are just the latest in a long list of racially and sendiri remarks there been a number of journalists from the very beginning to call out this illustration for exactly what it was maybe other legacy institutions or journalists are slower to come to these realizations but it's not a secret it's a part of it is how racism works within the media racism isn't just an issue that journalists cover it's also part of the environment in which they work 86.5 percent of all editors in the united states are white. 3 fourths of news organizations have
11:30 pm
no people of color amongst their top editors so that often means is a lack of sensitivity to the coverage of racism as well as a lack of training and if you don't have diversity in the newsroom then you're going to be in an echo chamber and not have really active coverage of a problem. especially if you're fox news where the lack of diversity on the screen and the lack of sensitivity in the news output are both by design fox has not and would not call president trump a racist the politician and america's most watched news channel feed off each other . and it is likely no coincidence that fox anchor tucker carlson. was laying into somali born congresswoman omar calling her a racist who hates america just before trump was there yes done for omar and for
11:31 pm
her family she hates the selfie more than 4 days later the president sent out those tweets 3 days after that there was trump at a rally in north carolina. serenaded by a crowd chanting center back a script effectively coauthored by fox news and the white house. don't know if not have never being there for the united states of america but if it didn't. fox news or truth 94 but finished the people that watch fox news right. he really doesn't care if people call embracive. he can manipulate the media like. trump like most populist isn't interested if they don't and. like like modi you know what the left of someone who can go to iraq. and the only way
11:32 pm
you can fight it. kind of good very good but telling the truth today but. we're discussing other media stories that are on our radar with one of our producers enough tarik the british broadcaster b.b.c. sends a news team into iran gets what it calls rare access puts out a series of reports on his u.k. domestic and world news channels but not on its persian language service why not because the broadcaster reportedly agreed to those conditions set out by the iranian government that's according to internal e-mails obtained by journalist yes shot ighly for huff post in order to get their correspondent martin patients into iraq and the b.b.c. had to agree that none of the material he gathered footage interviews stories would go out on any of b.b.c. persian platforms now or in the future you know that includes even read tweeting
11:33 pm
all forwarding the coverage. in the reports and it suites the b.b.c. acknowledges that scenes movements were controlled by official mind but iranian authorities did not restrict what was reported views how it would have had no idea the entire assignment was conditioned on the news reports not reaching an iranian audience and tehran has got a history of censoring b.b.c. persian and targeting some of its journalists does it not exactly b.b.c. persian is effectively banned in iran but it has a big viewership according to the broadcaster a week the audience of 12000000 and b.b.c. persian stuff based outside iran i've paid a price for the journalism for years they face threats and intimidation by the government some of how the assets frozen most unable to return to iran for fear of arrest and their family members in the country have been harassed and sometimes interrogated so understandably some of them are not happy about. the broadcast made
11:34 pm
we have to run for the b.b.c. it says that all international media are subject to restrictions and iran and they're not wrong just as crews also grapple with certain rules the b.b.c. also said we accepted some limitations on this occasion an order to provide our audiences would read insights from inside the country and this is signposted in our coverage as ever the b.b.c. maintains full editorial control over what we broadcast just not it appears where it is tough ok thanks to our. it's been roughly 20 years now since the war finally came to an end in what was once known as yugoslavia the historical narrative of serbia's role in that decade long conflict europe's deadliest since world war 2 is hotly contested and it really shouldn't be the evidence as per the united nations and multiple other investigative bodies tells
11:35 pm
a tale of disproportionate serbian aggression brutality and ethnic cleansing the alternative version of that history is now being told in book 4 by authors who have been convicted of war crimes that include genocide the convexed turned writers former serbian generals and politicians are just out for exoneration in the minds of many serbian nationalists they already have that they want to rewrite the historical record while feeding into nationalistic narratives favored by serbian elites including t.v. channels which might explain the popularity of the books among those who hold political power in belgrade listening posts johannah who's now on historical revisionism in the former yugoslavia and the inmates who have gone from convicted war criminals to published authors. biographies war memoirs novels even poetry. a total of
11:36 pm
$119.00 books written from behind bars by $22.00 alleged and convicted who are criminals. this literary output has been coming out of the detention center at the international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia lies since 1993 the school of literature coming from the. us down even to the eyes of the wind i did 161 person as a whole. about $140.00 actually went in so you have an indian which is a dense and unique. below you. i can say that every one in 6 prisoners of the i said to me why i turned out to be an older or sometimes many of those people are acting for purely political reasons for propaganda reasons there is a certain certain insistence on exonerating yourself.
11:37 pm
some of it is obviously also creating a parallel narrative which is only a part of a systematic approach in which actual facts actual events that have taken place i know being questioned. and they don't care about facts and they don't care what you were i think about it which is tailor made for sure and it's made in a way that would fit in the preexisting narrative from what you can spot via word of what and who the serbs are. it's about stories stories make nations and i don't care it is not going to be remembered as a murdering genocidal maniac but it is a great european hero who actually made the 1st serb state on the left bank over the knowledge that. there was a problem which is why you remembered by future generations of serbs not is
11:38 pm
a murderer of albanian children in kosovo but is a great warrior who stood up to nato. and the story. provision is books written by convict at war criminals are commonly available hender serbian capital belgrade including a bookstore behind me which belongs to the ministry of defense these books don't just do well with the average sir the country's politicians including those in government are big fans too and a cobra last year the publishing arm of serbia's defense ministry took to belgrade sheerly book fair to promote its newest release mercyful angels embrace the multi-volume wartime die. written by former army general in the bush. who is currently serving a 22 year prison sentence for crimes against humanity details his experiences in the kosovo war another prominent spot at the fair was reserved for alleged war criminals. after 11 years in detention cheshire has returned to serbian politics
11:39 pm
and going by the name of his publishing house greater serbia there's little question as to what his books are about. beach and shush presence at the prestigious fair doesn't speak to the quality of their literary work rather it speaks to the popularity of the nationalist message the narrative that 18 years after the end of the war is still actively endorsed by those in power. only. those who were convicted in the hague tribunal a widely seen as heroes in that community mysteries and in serbia many of those who participated in making decisions during the war when you are now in power and they benefit from promoting these kinds of goals messages and narratives for instance only or have commissions books that are promoted by the ministry of defense off a blow by blow accounts of the nato bombing during the kosovo all however they are met the crimes committed by the serbs that these books are an attempt to completely ignore the albanian victims to keep war crimes silent and to present the nato
11:40 pm
bombing as a hostile attack by international forces in which only innocent serbs were killed the only medicine is the skin i don't when it comes to some of the books that says he has published we know that for instance alexander which is the current president of serbia wrote a couple of forwards to some of the additions now if you have a legitimate representative of a country. you know write a forward or books. analyst work and all that is a huge issue. what i think that tells you a lot about just how far. you know the current political structures will go in order to push this narrative on to the public the mission is more describe corners for the crisis loses serbian media play a significant rule in bolstering location this narratives in a country or something or so in the number last year for members named serb army
11:41 pm
commander right gone lady who is serving a life sentence for war crimes and genocide dialed into a morning breakfast show on serbia's privately owned entertainment channel happy to be sending his love to the nation from prison. and on his himself. from the doomed from the hague and then. the conversation by saying you know. most of the media suit themselves as organisers of state machine themselves as being part of the serbian cause and contributing to the syrian cause which is the only way you can explain having got online is shown into the morning talk show having just been found guilty of genocide. or speak of normalization of.
11:42 pm
the srebrenica genocide which took place here in 1995 is by far the most popular topic for historical revisionists the execution of at least $8000.00 muslim men and boys at the hands of the bosnian serb security forces the worst mass killing on european soil since the 2nd world war is a huge staying on bosnian serb history and numerous books have been written about it by those wanting to recast the facts of that massacre. surveillance is by far the thorniest usual normal discourse. to various is also by far the best prosecuted crime all the crimes of the ninety's it's proven beyond reasonable doubt that the culprits are the leaders of arm of the cause of the serbs and i don't wonder how come that additional facts which could be so well established are facing the storm what does it take actually. it's a question that those pushing back against these are vision it's narratives whether
11:43 pm
about srebrenica or any other brutal episode in the yugoslav wars have been asking themselves for years. but as long as these rewrites of history are not only can don't actively indorsed by those in power attempts to tell the facts as they are are falling on deaf ears me long to do who are name i'm all right now we don't have a young generation politically mature. enough to ask important questions or inquire about facts that are being hit. my generation which was trying to create a consciousness about these crimes and the people behind them while we have been defeated we want table to win back the narrative we couldn't make the media follow this up and the crimes of those responsible for the peace agreements these have been completely removed from the agenda in it's place we have this populism on the rise and there seems no space for push to really push the post story yes the

a bulk a british operator have made a formal request for access to visit the 23 crew members of the sterner imperio their indian. latvian russian and filipino nationals the iranian authorities have said on sunday that they're safe in the port of blunder about what the company wants to see them so that the britons obviously on the defensive if you like because at home they're being accused of being slack of not assuring the security of vessels in the area but they're also saying that the one of the proteins must be to deescalate tensions so really there's there's quite a tough game for them to play right now we we expect to hear from foreign secretary jeremy hunt on monday about exactly how britain will respond that junior defense minister when asked about sanctions just said that britain is looking at
11:52 pm
a range of options yeah i was going to ask you about that there talk this talk of the escalating tensions about the same time talk of britain re imposing sanctions on iran what other options do they have right. well it's difficult to see over the weekend britain did actually summon the show as a deaf heir of iran here in london to complain about what they see as an illegal act and let's not forget the letter to the united nations security council from britain makes it clear that britain believes iran has violated international law because they say the tank it was in a money waters as you were just mentioning so they've they've done vats they have expressed in this phone call between jeremy hunt the foreign secretary and mohammad javad zarif is iranian counterpart they've expressed their extreme annoyance and disappointment was the word that jeremy hunt used at what's happened they've called
11:53 pm
it a hostile act but will they look at sanctions it's not clear because all of this comes at a background of the iran nuclear deal being under severe pressure something the junior defense minister admitted in that interview and they're desperately trying as an international effort to try to keep iran on truckin try to keep the talks channel open so there could be some kind of freezing of assets perhaps travel bans rather than imposing economic sanctions further on an economy which is already suffering i thank you for that madam babylon forests in london as counselor to tehran now and dosage of barry soetoro so what's the reaction in tehran to britain sending assets in the strait of homes. well the rainy and sad believe that this act that was carried out on friday by the revolutionary guards was by their due diligence in the strait of hormuz that the revolutionary guards were carrying out what they are supposed to be doing in that area we have heard from the ringing for ministers of
11:54 pm
odds are a through ascent that prudence and foresight and who are such floyds referring to market various governments planning to announce on monday in terms of any every precaution for the arabians or heard from the iranian ambassador in the u.k. who said earlier today that we warned actually montenegrins any further publications that iran is firm and ready for different scenarios and we also heard from a number of in peace in parliament on sunday morning where they hang the revolutionary guards for carrying out this ad on friday ready see the stossel b.m.p. signed a declaration of support for the seizure of the center of cairo by the revolutionary guards we incident comes of course at a time when tension is a very very high and the rings are very upset about the seizure of one of their own tankards the grace one in this failure to baltar that was seized by the british
11:55 pm
navy on july 4th because the u.k. government said it was heading to syria which is under any you sanctions the iranians said in fact that was not the destination for this size oil tanker which is carrying $2000000.00 barrels of the reigning crude oil that is worth about $200000000.00 and there was very severe reaction to that seizure by the 4 months of government to the supreme leader in here and some comments on that saying that that are the absolute piracy of that calling it will not go on and support and this action by the curtains are drawn by is the seen as a response but also as a message that the revolutionary guard is not a force to be reckoned with and they will add when needed and in this case they were off holding the internet. maritime laws the strait of hormuz when he sees this vessel because they said that this was not on call that it was traveling in the wrong their own direction and it had turned out all its transponder so they didn't know this vessel was not able to be detected by other ships in the spare room is
11:56 pm
there any is ok where are the millions of barrels of oil that houses there thank you for that dorsetshire in tehran for a set speaks more about this not to simon mabon who's a senior lecturer in international studies at lancaster university he's via skype thank you so much for being with us these tensions with iran instead of having them at a worse time for the u.k. when in the mid seventies their ship contest or a pace or a some a what measures you expect friend to take what are they options right now. i would imagine right now into where we're sure who the next prime minister of the united kingdom is going to be will see it come soon did and some a conservative response but the u.k. right now is undergoing a range of different pressures from from brics it to this this leadership election and the iran crisis is is really it's come at the worst possible time for the new leader of the country it's also got because not in the in the right there who is in
11:57 pm
iran right now and there's an effort to try and release has so so there's a real sort of cult plex issues now moving forward the u.k. is cold essentially between working with the european powers to try and get this diplomatic solution to the nuclear crisis got off the ground well moving closer and closer to the united states and depending on who wins the election wins the leadership contest i should say we could well see the united kingdom taking that route yeah and precisely the iranians are accusing the us of dragging the u.k. into this crisis they say britain is just following american orders do you think that's the case right now what is their role in the crisis well that's it shows this long being levied at the united kingdom dating back decades the idea that u.k. is a waning power do we. the bidding of the united states is one that is routinely routinely thrown a london and to an extent i can understand why it is but i think recently what we've seen is that the british tensions with iran independent of the united states
11:58 pm
really really escalated following the seizure of the tankers that your pocket surely was talking about and not draws on longstanding tensions between the u.k. and iran that have independent of the united states dating back to the time of persia an oil in persia so there's a complex there's a complex states all of this historical complexity and a more contemporary complexity pendant of the united states and so where does this leave the 2050 nuclear deal that france germany and the u.k. were trying to save france and germany have now expressed solidarity with the u.k. and have warned of regional escalation in in the tensions what does that mean for the nuclear deal is it that south. well recently it was it was turned on the life support of a commentator suggested that the deals on life support i would say that it's on life support in its most critical phase right now europeans were the ones trying desperately to save the deal and that seems to be what ron was looking for as well but it seems that this action following the united states withdrawal from the
11:59 pm
nuclear deal is that the wholesale rejection of the rules of the game all the actors involved since very rejecting the traditional rules of normal politics and normal pols exist diplomacy so it seems to me that we're in a really difficult position the u.k. wanted the deal it would cut the deal put right now it doesn't know what the rules of the game are no one seems to and that's a worrying precedent right now so how then do they deescalate the tensions before it gets worse simon. we need the next little mediate so many to mediate to that doesn't have a vested interest in one side of the other and there are a number of those across the world but they have to be respected by both sides and they need to encourage both sides to offer a gesture that will will be understood by the us a call that they've signed that can be misconstrued that can be understood in different ways but rather is saying in good spirits taken in good spirits as a form of the escalation be at the release of these tankers be at the new sniffing of economic sanctions something like that needs to happen to build trust trust is
12:00 am
essential once you've got that trust then you can start to idiot to the rules of the game and start talks but you need the trust and you need that external mediator very good taya thoughts on this thank you so much for joining us simon maven from lancaster university joining us on the news hour let's turn to other world news now and they are running battles right now between protesters and police on the streets of hong kong violence broke out as police officers in full riot gear used tear gas and battens to pay a protest says he's alive because as you can see organizers say more than 400000 people took to the streets and again ironic that lisping small among their. the demonstrators are trying to push the government to officially withdraw a controversial extradition bail the. irony is some protesters vandalized the office of china's representatives in hong kong they threw eggs at the building and found.
