. and those are the latest headlines here on al-jazeera there's more news for us in about 25 minutes next though it's the listening post do stay with us by. the latest news as it breaks it is long campaigned against what it calls attempts to undermine the state of israel from within. with detailed coverage cool power being a place by eco friendly plants all over the world environmentalist's here the pulse of what's been the. from around the wild those palaces just as visible above ground and on the surface under all.

the justice minister said one life on. sanction this. one. chance to. talk about. the actual crash watch hello i'm richard disparate and you're at the listening post here are some of the media stories we're covering this week brazil a new scandal relating to the carwash corruption case a judge turned politician now faces a journalistic brand of justice an exposé by reporters in puerto rico brings down the governor there taking of a civil action while on line the enduring and rising popularity of b.p.'s and comfy our come of the boris johnson takes office in the u.k. setting at least one media heart aflutter it's not often that an investigation into

a corruption scandal becomes a scandal in and of itself but that is exactly what is unfolding in brazil last month an online news outlet the intercept brazil began publishing a series of expos. about the wheeling and dealing of the minister of justice moore in a previous life morrow was a judge in charge of operation carwash an investigation into the biggest case of political corruption in the country's history it resulted in the arrests of hundreds of politicians and business figures hasten the fall of one president and landed another former president behind bars morals work on that case and his depiction in the brazilian news media as an anti corruption crusader helped get him the job of minister of justice appointed by president are both now the news outlets that help create moral were having some serious 2nd thoughts on the journalists at the intercept who broke this latest moral story are starting to feel the heat from

the brazilian authorities our starting point this week is rio de janeiro. the cast of characters in this case of corruption is long the terminology confusing but the story is simple back in 2014 the judge appointed to preside over the operation car wash investigation the case brazilians call love a shuttle with sergio more the probe uncovered money laundering bribery and corruption at the state owned energy company petrol price several members of the ruling party under leftist president dilma rousseff were jailed for their part in the scheme. back to morrow was cheered on lionized by brazil's mostly right wing media any. t.v. channels like global and. magazines like fish or he was seen as

a future president now he is fighting for his political life because of an investigation into his investigation known as vast as shocked and a series of text messages between him and prosecutors that strongly suggest that legally speaking the fix was in. the most important revelation is that certain moral wasn't with the prosecution it's entirely for a bit to have a judge who is in constant conversation with the prosecution in order to arrange all the other media the media didn't create more of the superhero it just gave invisibility put a flashlight and a judge she was indeed doing a rather heroic job by brazilian standards however surgery did have a party ideology and he was manipulating the investigations rather than taking a step back and being impartial which is what we expect of a judge or jury but as you said. brazil found itself in

a historic moment where it could clean itself up and the media really bought into the image that moral himself was constructed they absorbed it they deliberately boarded this ship because strategically it was good to join the right side the side of the people fighting corruption. sergio morrow's reputation as an anti corruption crusaders scrubbing brazil queen of graft was demolished by the intercept its secret brazil archive includes leaked. sent over the telegram messaging app between moral and prosecutors investigating the carwash case the messages are explosive and potentially game changing they clearly show a judge legally required to be neutral working with prosecutors in some cases advising them on how to present various legal cases to him they also appear to confirm the suspicion that throughout the carwash investigation morrow and the

prosecution were trying to manipulate press coverage to turn it against members of the p.t. party morrow's work in golf the government of president dilma rousseff hastened her downfall and led to the jailing them. silver purty poster is considered the favorite to win the next presidential election. behind bars legally prevented from running a path was cleared for right wing populist. he won last year's election. then made more of his minister of justice which in light of all that collusion in the carwash case was the least he could do work this whole of us out of campaign as the media campaign produced was a devaluation of institutional politics of party politics and to a degree in which the electorate became so skeptical. to the

stream right wing offside of also now so both him and his election should be seen as a product of the. institutional politics having contributed to the rise of an anti politics anti establishment rhetorical that in the end did not just criminalize the left but started to criminalize the whole of the political system and started to also weaken the legislative and the congress powers basically saying that we need someone from outside of politics to take this so it very much pave the way for the rise of the right extreme right and for also nado specifically so it has had not just political implications have had political economic and social. brazil's media system hasn't fared much better the most powerful broadcaster in the country is global it has a history of supporting right wing governments even the military dictatorship from 1964 to 85.

global went all in on the carwash story which was justified to an extent by the scale of the corruption but the partisan tone of much of global coverage rang alarm that. global's coverage of the advances shuttle leaks has been more selective and less exuberant version is brazil's best selling news magazine a right wing publication that was pro moral and has now swung the other way partnering with the intercept on the leaks vicious change of tact followed by a change in their mission meaning brazil is mostly private and they all belong to the traditional families powerful families. on top of that they are all conservative very belonged to a tradition one of these traditional family so until recently very was some sort of

fox news and brit vitriolic giornale is right and they went bankrupt and they sold to a businessman and this guy apparently wants to give the news magazine a different orientation dettori intonation so i think that's the main reason that vase is now collaborating with the intercept. the reaction of the media was incredible lots of international outlets followed up on our reporting with articles of their own but others such as the global group made a point especially in the 1st few days to emphasize the perspective of the justice ministry and to set your moral himself and someone of us out there were many of those was just a social model. daily for. blew up because she was a male sizing static it presented all the possible things that could be wrong in our revelations in brazil there exists a section of right wing media that invested a lot in the car war story and there is no way they will ever let go of that

narrative. ringback to global end to version with questions on their approach to the past 2 links vision declined to comment on its editorial about face global road back with a detailed defense of its. average especially the significant amount of air time it is devoted to the legality of the journalism ringback this past wednesday a judge ordered the arrest of 4 people on charges of hacking sergio morrow's phone the 4 are accused of being the sources of the material as global put it it would be considered bad journalism in any part of the worked including in qatar to ignore that the cell phones of the authorities were hacked even though back in march of 2016 when morrow released a tape of a private phone call between dilma rousseff and lula da silva global was less concerned about the journalistic ethics it ran with that story as did vasher and so

many other brazilian news outlets. ringback could you do q in a story of such magnitude as was a shock to her which involves the hacking of several authorities including the most famous judge in brazil the current minister of justice the biggest news is not the content of the alleged conversations but rather the hacking of these conversations this is very serious well much more serious was when morally a conversation between. presidents this was not in the public interest moral had the chance of a lifetime to go down in history as someone who has combat corruption you had all the power and your disposal all the media attention all the public support and no instead of that you chose a political project you chose to align yourself to a particular group. sujit a moral can complain all he wants about the latest leaks and the news coverage he now receives but having done what he did leaking information and manipulating the

media a stance oblique in the name of justice and been exposed by an act of journalism he is no longer in a position to judge. we're discussing one other media story on our radar this week with one of our producers full of celebs flo the governor of port authority called the calabar say you know was announced that he's resigning next week as a result of a scandal exposed by local journalists who are these journalists and what did they reveal richard russell is down for is in large part a result of an exposé by puerto rico's center for investigative journalism the centro de petit a dismal investigate tivo or c.p.i. it's a not for profit news organization that relies on donations similar to the american outlet pro publica it's produced a number of big stories over the years but nothing quite like this one on july 13th

c.p.i. published nearly 900 pages of leaked messages chats that much like the story in brazil took place on telegram between the governor and his in the circle now i would read out examples but many of them are pretty obscene sexist homophobic exchanges about political opponents celebrities like ricky martin even some journalists including the c.b.s. reporter david begnaud and puerto rican journalist benjamin torres gotye and what was the reaction to these revelations on the puerto rican streets i mean it was huge which had hundreds of thousands of people hit the streets to protest calling for resignation for years now put a reconsider been dealing with alleged government corruption mounting debt prolonged recession and a number of natural disasters 2700 horak and maria among them more than a dozen government officials have resigned in the wake of c.p.i. as exposé will say oh himself however took his time this past wednesday 12 days

after the protests began he took to facebook live to announce his resignation of the us which would get there this i could tell him see in the school ritual i don't even know it but it's you know you see him talking complete what you get up as you see him represent don't know if you could but but i can actually talk i'm so the dude and without the work of a group of journalists at the c.p.i. i would almost certainly still be in the job ok thanks larry. here at the listening post we've sometimes wondered how many of our online viewers are watching us over a v.p.n. how many of you are discussing your location changing it from beijing to boston from riyadh to reykjavik to cover your tracks virtual private networks have been around for more than 2 decades now and they were not originally developed to circumvent surveillance and censorship they were too for corporations and governments to connect their offices in different countries to make it easier for

people to work together but as the monitoring and control of the web have grown a market has emerged and expanded for people to work around internet blocks and to hide their location online particularly popular and countries with authoritarian tendencies such as iran china and turkey v.p.n. is are now getting downloaded in more and more countries like sri lanka across the arab gulf as well as the us as data theft online tracking and web blocking grow increasingly common listening posts meenakshi ravi now on the use and uses of. 3 months ago in sri lanka social media platforms including facebook whatsapp instagram and you tube were suddenly inaccessible. to c.d.'s of data tax across the city of colombo had security forces on high alert. the government said

the online docs were necessary to prevent misinformation from spreading this was the 2nd time in just over a year that social media access was cut off across the country and it did not work very well she lankans rely on social media as a primary mode of communication so about a 1000000 of them turned to their v.p.n. rebooting their way virtually back onto those platforms. we peons virtual private networks. 1st came into use in 1906 and they are among the most enduring innovations in on my browsing popularity on the rise around the would countries like vietnam indonesia and turkey rack up some of the highest numbers of software downloads turkey's notorious for its internet censorship over 240000 websites are currently blocks from turkey and in addition to that all were 150000 euros of well known newspapers and online news media outlets like. b.b.c.

news new software site to more it. and others so if you're trying to access alternative news you can not see them from turkey unless you it has become part of the daily internet use which very recently for example during the protest in sudan do you authorities issued an internet shut down and a lot of people were using v.p.n. to circumvent the censorship in reading and neighborhood thousands and thousands of people to have access to social media to share pictures videos to communicate between each other but also with the world about what was going on in the country and one side your tests and the journalists who are using v.p.n. to get information as we country then you have ordinary users who just want to watch pornography or sports and people do that all the time i don't know has

a legitimate use of obviously some legality but people use weekends for all different social reasons n.p.r. news to be quite complicated and difficult to set up now it's a matter of they're downloading your app pushing a button and even the best services are just a few dollars a month so we certainly don't think it's a luxury i don't think privacy and security is a luxury so we peons are no more luxury than saying having a lock on your front door. over the last few years the number of v.p.n. services has boomed. hotspot shield express tunnel their cyber ghost these are just a few of the most popular names on the market by each v.p.n. says it offers something different the underlying principle is the same for all of them it's about setting up i mean to me due to a distant one between you and the web site you want to access so the way the p.p. and works is it's essentially a computer elsewhere in the world so you 1st connect to before going to the

instance so if you are in trying to connect to. the country us and then go to facebook and then that way you can actually access these services they also encrypt traffic as well so anyone in the same work with us on your home or if you work. a public or even your internet service provider they will not be have to see the websites that you are going to protect as well an effective v.p.n. at 1st is a v.p.n. that works because not all v.p.n. work in every country some countries actually block access to v.p.n. and 2nd to get a v.p.n. but the security it means that the telecommunications and the information that transmits between you and if you're in is encrypted it means that they don't use that information or share that information with 3rd parties one you want to make sure that they have strong encryption protocols since encryption is the key way

that d.p.'s protect your security secondly you want to make sure that a v.p.n. has the right policies and measures in place to ensure that no none of your internet activity is large and a v.p.n. itself or a v.p.n. server itself making sure that you know you're not exposing yourself to additional risks and. the job to b.p. and use hasn't gone unnoticed by governments in countries like iran all mine. russia for instance the peons are subject to heavy destructions they don't even some laws in place banning them increasingly the peons are coming onto authorities radars and getting targeted in turkey use which is not criminalize so it is not illegal to use services however turkey amended its internet law in february 2014 and there's a provision which states that the authorities could request access working to

prepare and services several of these. services are accessible from turkey and if you manage to access their websites or have an account with them then they don't work in china for example a number of the peons don't work and there were actually at some point and that was saying that it would bounce or v.p.n. and they did remove a lot of the pins from the apple store and google play and so on however banning all v.p.n. would also affect the economy of a country it would affect how a number of business can actually operate in a country so it wouldn't be really what is for a government to ban all v.p.n. but it is indeed a concern that especially the most efficient peons are the most secure rights respecting v.p. and my people are. chinese authorities on just blocking many fought in the p. and services the been actively pushing the use of state approved and created g.p.s.

users have to register to use them and explain why they need them the service is guaranteed neither privacy not anonymity and in a country where censorship is stringent i dissent a scorched unsecured d.p.'s that come with beijing's seal of approval leave many people exposed. but it isn't just state sponsored or state approved b.p.'s that have holes in their security that freebie. it's a case of down looters be there generally speaking users can really trust. they may create a log of websites and visited and then sell them to a 3rd party perhaps an advertiser or not so spacious and so painful for n.p.r. which is really the only way to actually do it chile is in some ways a luxury good it can cost anywhere from $5.00 to $10.00 to $20.00 a month to have this sort of additional security precaution that the vast majority of people probably are prepared to and pay for that being so the barrier of entry

for v.p.n. says dramatically decrease you no longer have to be a technologist use them you can download an app into reading. low powered android and that can provide a high level of protection as well. as have come a long way they would initially used just by large corporations to them they became the online tool of choice for journalists campaigners and political dissidents however as online tracking geo blocking web shutdowns at random and unsecured public web collections have increased the peons have become used in some of the most unexpected ways turkish internet users are technologically savy i would say young about the older generation and so are now parents teach their children how to access. to recant so that they can do their homework from turkey you know i've seen. students walk into a server in

a different time zones that had to get their test results early or k. pop bands around the world like india or korean servers that you can vote for if ever ban an online poll so some of those more esoteric cases are surprising when it comes to government and state locks that is something that we've been seeing around the world for the past decade and they continue to increase. and finally britain has a new prime minister. it's safe to say that not everyone is thrilled about the news but boris johnson can count on journalists like toby young cometh the hour cometh the man is a gushing $5000.00 word essay that young wrote about johnson on his student years his political career his so-called skill set even his physique the feedback on twitter ranged from its bizarre to disturbing to it reads like some erotic fantasy we asked you on what he made of that and he came back with a quotation from oscar wilde the one that goes there is only one thing in life

worse than being talked about and that is not being talked about it will leave you now with some snippets from young's essay read by a voice artist so brace yourself c n x time here at the listening post i 1st set eyes on boris johnson in the autumn of 1983 when we went up to oxford at the same time. with his huge mop of blonde hair his tie askew and his shirt escaping from his trousers he looked like an overgrown schoolboy yet with his imposing physical build his thick neck and his broad germanic forehead there was also something of me about him you could imagine him in later hose and wandering through the black forest with an axe over his shoulder looking focus to kill this same combination a state of advanced a shovel mountain a sense of coiled strength of an almost tangible will to power was even more pronounced in his way of speaking in boris i finally encountered the real platonic ideal britain's veteran political commentators are for the most part pessimistic

about boris's premonition the rational part of my brain is still full of doubts and uncertainties but it a more primitive than a level impervious to reason i cannot help but believe from the 1st moment i saw him i felt i was in the presence of someone special. the next 3 months will reveal whether that was a historical premonition or a soft illusion. we understand the differences and the similarities of cultures across the world. so no
