and that people are afraid because of what's happening here i called in place designed to prevent protesters coming anywhere near here that clearly didn't. that legal action was taken after their last raid on the airport which saw people camp inside the terminal for several days over all the hong kong airport is very important to the economy we chose here to try to paralyze it a make a point instead of randomly picking street talk e.p.i. it's much better to come here at all i this time the site of the police moving in was enough to force a retreat for most was those not quick enough were arrested was in the end the protest to stay at the airport was a relatively brief one but again they proved they can strike at what they say is a soft target before the police moved in to retake the air. still it would be
1:06 pm
a long time before transport began to return to normal meaning long walks for many travelers. the demonstrators may have moved on but they weren't done seemingly frustrated by the closure of a nearby train station they vented their anger leaving it in disarray as night falls the protest has fanned out to different locations and the police don't seem to be able to match the agility of those down trying to chase. and when it's time for a police retreat loitering protest is in many people living in areas where some of the violence has taken place find their voices again as the officers leave they're not cheered as keepers of the peace instead jeered as the enemy and symbols of a system many here are trying to change wayne hay al jazeera hong kong. brown has more now from hong kong i'm in edinburgh a place in the heart of hong kong where some of the students who are taking part in

1:15 pm
other is the country's deteriorating security situation $2900.00 is expected to be a record setting year for violence in the country surpassing the nearly $35000.00 homicides that took place the year before what we're hearing from people on the streets of mexico city apart from concerns over escalating violence nationwide is a general distrust of the president's rhetoric and criticisms over how the government is managing a stagnant national economy mexico central bank forecasts economic growth at 0.2 percent for 2019 barely avoiding recession despite the many challenges president look there's a lot of work on an approval rating between 67 and 72 percent according to the latest national polls presidential fact checkers like to see the president's popularity could be linked to rhetoric that often misrepresents the facts especially when it comes to the economy. i can tell you the only 40 percent up to president statements are very fireball 60 percent of what he says is either.

president refers to his administration as mexico's 4th transformation placing his government reforms on par with the 910. mexican revolution you know you have the right and they are the way they are you know but it continued for you to reign in nation one violence and improve the economy could have been true you wrote the mexican leaders overwhelming support for. mexico city. vietnam is marking 50 years since the death of its revolutionary leader man was the father of the nation and its communist party he led a fight for independence against several foreign powers anniversary also falls on vietnam's national day lawrence louis has been following the story from hanoi. outside the herdsmen most of them in hanoi long lines have formed of people waiting to get in to get a glimpse of the embalmed body of men and he's still very much revered in vietnam
1:17 pm
seen as not just the founding father of modern vietnam but also the man who brought independence to this country now his teachings his life story are contained in school curricula in political and military training in patriotic songs and propaganda but increasingly as a concern he may be becoming that's relevant especially to the younger generation this is a country where around half the population is under the age of 13 the more concerned about upward mobility and social media very far removed from the world of communist teachings having said that the values that hurt human and bodies of patriotism of resilience are still relevant now and there are many challenges for vietnam as it goes forward it's done very well building itself up off the decades of colonize ation and war its economy is now robust and dynamic but the new challenge for the for the government really is to maintain political stability even as it sustained economic growth as the country becomes richer more people may want
1:18 pm
a bigger frame more representation how is the government's going to handle political dissent and criticism the other challenge is job politics china has staked a claim in the south china sea and it's becoming increased. aggressive in a setting that made how will vietnam stand up to china which is not just an adversary but also a very important trade partner these are challenges for vietnam and its leaders may want to draw on the values that is associated with patriotism of resilience as it brings the country forward. freakout the headlines on al-jazeera the u.s. says it fully supports israel's right to defend itself after fighting between the israeli army and the lebanese lebanon lebannon based armed group has a law the group says it targeted and israeli military vehicle israel israeli forces hit back by shelling a border village in southern lebanon on air strikes by the saudi marathi like

1:21 pm
listening post as that next. tool is there a. guarantee is will be given to the people who will be attending the minimal workshops we listen i'm supposed to explain apologize for someone who is also terrorizing we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on the 00. 00000. 0000 on the way. out of the. hello i'm richard just brought in you're at the listening post here are some of the media stories we're covering this week the communications shut down in kashmir how can journalists get the story out when the blackout means most kashmiris can't even communicate with each other with 4 reporters murdered
1:22 pm
over the past month mexico is now the deadliest place in the world to be a journalist politics mixes with organized crime in albania and reporters there are in danger plus the internet. where the online search for a cure can be worse than the imaginary to see so we begin with one of the most sweeping and lasting communications blackouts of the internet age india's attempt to silence the people of kashmir when prime minister narendra modi made good on his election promise to revoke article 370 of the indian constitution he swept away what little remained of kashmiri autonomy the region officially called jamu and kashmir in india is now set to come under complete control of the government in new delhi more indian troops have flooded in and communications have been cut off a near total shut down of the internet mobile phones and landlines a blackout that is now into its 4th week 2 distinct news narratives of so.
1:23 pm
submerged indian outlets particularly its plethora of 24 hour t.v. news channels say the situation in kashmir is under control and there has been a little resistance then there are a handful of indian outlets and numerous international news organizations including this one saying that that is definitely not the case our starting point this week is the kashmiri capital. a region locked down. millions of people with their communications blacked out. kashmir was already heavily militarized when the indian government sent in 10000 more troops in early august because of what it called an imminent terrorist threat it turns out the modi government had other reasons. days later the media create after imposing
1:24 pm
a communications blackout new delhi announced it was stripping kashmir of its autonomy. over the next few days we had our producer in srinagar film reactions from kashmiris in this age of instant communication it took us 2 and a half weeks to get the video because with no internet no connection to the outside world our producer had to fly to new delhi to upload the interviews he conducted however are in no way dated because very little has changed. because. of. this movement and you know the moves here it's accompanied by a lot that means there is. no god and so with this. right now and you are not able. i mean this is not
1:25 pm
a war that they want to go out again but i. unequal and in the. emanuel medical. one of the in the economy but. no government blocks internet access as frequently as india's does $159.00 times over a 3 year period far more than pakistan syria turkey iran and egypt combined according to the delhi based software freedom legal center more than half of india's regional internet blackouts have been imposed on kashmir including 55 this year alone what is unprecedented however is the scope of this one and the duration 3 and a half weeks and counting. they've been going to sometimes sometimes a couple of days even though they're kind of broadband there been other ways of getting through this is the 1st time that everything has been cut off landlines
1:26 pm
mobile phones while internet broadband by fi those nothing so all you want used to happen is when there was an encounter between you know pakistan sponsored terrorists and the jane good police or the army they used to shop in that of that particular district or that particular area but this time without considering that there could be some kind of violence internet was shut down forms were shut down and it's been more than 3 weeks now so yes the severity certainly is massive and never seen before why ever since 947 when india and pakistan gained their independence from britain kashmir has been disputed territory in 1950 india agreed to amend its constitution to grant the part of kashmir that it had ministers india's only a muslim majority state a degree of autonomy one lives. 11 the prime minister narendra modi has consistently appealed to nationalists by promising to rescind that part of the
1:27 pm
constitution article 370 and allow india to take full control of kashmir modi's brand of hindu nationalism gets turbo charged on the indian airwaves by hundreds of 24 hour t.v. news channels most of which have echoed the government's narrative on this story that the situation in kashmir is called and peaceful. rally. there that's really like normal has become the key word a kind of mantra i'll let you go on the street. but the question is. if you wanted a border pretty i mean you stand and you've been. given very specific bio channel bio editors or what you can and cannot be sure you're not obviously going to dig for stories more than that some of our colleagues spoke to these t.v. joined in this and i asked them if they had been to several of the areas have seen
1:28 pm
a good that we were visiting and they all said no so if you are not visiting more than a few specific area you're obviously not going to report on protests you're going to see that everything is normal indian media from the time of independence was part of nation building project and has been part of india's nation building exercise all through these years all the last few years nationalism fitri autism militarism. as one of the see. if you're not. against us. in the news channels do not limit there with us or against us approach to india they use the same tactic against other news organizations trying to cover kashmir international one so i think new york times al-jazeera and britain's b.b.c.
1:29 pm
the b.b.c. seems to be a speech simply caught redhanded. how much of it for the borders junction. up the entire management of the b.b.c. . yet again 4 days into the blackout the b.b.c. reuters and al-jazeera are all reported that security forces in srinagar fired tear gas and rifle pellets at crowds of protesters the modi government through its ministry of home affairs called that story fabricated. after the b.b.c. posted video of the armrest complete with the sound of gunfire the government changed its tune but only partially admitting there had been a small protest involved. miscreant's but that no shots had been for. the government at the time decided to call it it's a fake radio the b.b.c. stood by this story said this is
1:30 pm
a real deal for real protests from. a lot of the indian media especially the electronic media especially the t.v. media were saying everything is normal to me for consumption of the masses because that's what the messaging from the state is we have done this and that is not a distance to this which is just the opposite as that video showed a new york times or the washington post of the b.b.c. or the other will immediately sure you would use a while. of people being that it's not like that since august 5th this is going to revoke article $370.00 there hasn't been a single death due to any of the so-called human rights violations of the security forces so how can any international publication beat in t.v. or print justify their report cards. the short answer is because we don't really know who's been killed or how many that's what communications
1:31 pm
blackouts do they stop the full story from getting out what few images the world has seen kashmiris protesting hospitalized blinded by pellet fire put the lie to the modi government's normal narrative the one parroted by so many news outlets falling over themselves to support a government in new delhi they are supposed to hold to account it's not just me if you want to see if the history of what these channels have been seen on issues in the last. 15 to have become out of the government. strategy. they are not any longer independent observation watched on information given as you often hear in the. described themselves as the world's largest democracy you hear that from government you'll hear that from me given the way the modi government is behaving and the way the media has basically lined up behind the car the 4th stage
1:32 pm
is this really the world's largest democracy is it acting like for cash medias it has never acted as it has. a group of us cafferty prevent it in the diverse country the size of a continent you know you made it could be it has been the us largest democracy but i once read an indian write a very good and right describe india as the world's greatest experiment but i'd also said that sadly there was a great experiment in democracy. we're discussing other media stories that are on our radar this week with one of our producers tarek enough tarak anyone reporting on the media knows how dangerous mexico can be for journalists more than 150 media workers have been killed there since the year 2000 and this past month feels like it's been open season on reporters there that's right richard last weekend never scotland as had
1:33 pm
a meal was found dead in his hometown of to pelco about an hour's drive from mexico city he was stabbed to death qantas ran a local news site called observatory 0 does thought he is the 4th journalist killed in the past month one of 12 murdered this year and the august $2900.00 will only 13 become the deadliest year on record for mexican journalist and the problem isn't just the rate at which reporters in mexico are being murdered it's the virtually no one is being held accountable and punished the human rights organization article 19 puts the impunity rate for crimes against freedom of expression that's almost 100 percent i spoke of an a christina a wealth from article 19 on the issue of impunity. we say here in article 1000 that the imbue needy. is sad bear but to wait to go against and threat
1:34 pm
the germ is because they're killing not only the truth of the journalist they're also killing the truth about their debt and it's a message of silence for all of their colleagues every day with local men that at least 3 aggressions i guess at least 48 percent of those aggressions come from agents of the state the level of impunity is almost 100 percent this 99.3 percent and these because the state is not investigating the jails in every case of journalist aggression there is no objectivity or excess deviousness in they investigate because there's actually an investigation that is done by the sayings that went against a journalist and. while you might think that it's the drug cartels that pose the greatest threats in media and mexico it's often local or federal officials who are complicit in and in some cases allegedly directing attacks on reporters in mexico the line between the state and organized crime is
1:35 pm
a blurry one and both sides benefit from financing critical john as i'm ok thanks terry. turning now to a country that doesn't get a lot of news coverage albania and a story published by 2 digital news outlets that confirmed what many of their have long suspected that the relationship between politicians the judiciary and organized crime is far too close for comfort the story broke this past january the balkans investigative reporting that work and voice of america published a series of leaked recordings phone calls between government officials including prime minister eddie rama and crime bosses colluding to wriggle actions in both 20162017 there were the kind of revelations that usually come with consequences however the ruling party has dismissed or deflected the charges and none of the senior officials implicated has been arrested let alone taken to court instead the judiciary has gone after those who leaked and published the material the listening
1:36 pm
posts johannah who's now from to run on politics crime journalism and the few reporters who are still covering a story the albanian powers that be are trying to kill. they mean criminal network in a senior state official discussing voter intimidation or 227000 general election. the government official. prime minister. crime books promising the ruling socialist party electoral victory.
1:37 pm
and member of the albanian mafia congratulating. stoner action. soon. these are just the tip of the iceberg of a set of explosive wire taps that's sent on pena into political chaos when you hear this conversation and they sound like italian mafia movies where of a decide who should rule the country and therefore the country should be ruled by their people and not through fear and independent elections or. through. this was explosive evidence showing that criminals not only they enjoy total impunity but they are also part of government in the sounds of helping and supporting supporters from in this case socialist who remain in power that is going to arms this illegally by criminals it was done with the cooperation
1:38 pm
of local officials and also high officials of the state which makes it incredibly clear not just how our government functions but also who is governing us never before have i seen criminal groups use such sophisticated tactics to influence the will of the electorate and that's why i and my colleagues at berne and v.o.a. decided to investigate this phenomenon again the financial force the store will publish focus not on the ties of this work has to politicians and members of organized crime but also the failure of the judicial system the prosecutor's office to properly investigate this this leaves various people have been indicted which were mostly low level officials and members of organized crimes but the part which involved their ties to the local politicians and let's say the electoral fraud process that has now been properly investigated. the fact that byrne albania
1:39 pm
voice of america and later german newspaper billed were the ones to break this story isn't surprising these outlets. receive their funding from outside obey me i'm giving them the kind of editorial independence that allows them to cover issues most elastic news networks are reluctant to touch. us media space has opened up significantly since the end of the creative dictatorship in the early ninety's. conduct's actually rely on the mainstream news networks for hard hitting investigative reporting especially when it comes to corruption and the intersection of politics and organized crime when it was your top story pro. splurge of coverage initially and then most of our being on the news outlet and virtually silent one of the. terms media freedom there is a kind of self-censorship. they get a job with the mainstream television station or any space. they know that there was
1:40 pm
conflict between the government or a construction company that wants to. know something like this so they have to try and follow that particular and to really stay away from certain stories because they could be gone like that when this was revealed by voice of america and burnell been i think for local media it's kind of easy to republish because this way they detach themselves from the contra and then just say this is what has been reported even in this case i think some of the media tried to downplay the importance of this revelation however when bill started to publish similar wiretaps that they didn't have a choice right of a hat to report this otherwise in the eyes of the public it would be very clear of a very are so pro socialist they are not even able to through a cover of this explosive material. there are a few journalists to continue to cover criminal groups and their relationships with
1:41 pm
politicians but it's become a dangerous beat and navigating the complexity of reporting. country whose political system and even parts of its media industry are intertwined with organized crime scene self-censorship is hardly journalist biggest worry. one night in august last year the house behind me the family home with journalist claudia was sprayed with bullets no one got hurt but lara who's been reporting on the relationship between politics and organized crime for over a decade says a clear message was sent that night to scare her into silence team schlessinger becomes the plan to be quite honest i find it very difficult to speak about that incident because my family and i are trying to completely forget about it i have tried to have a strong journalistic voice to investigate and expose the links of organized crime to politics and to denounce the power of 2 little groups while the authorities try to argue that this shooting was the result of some sort of family feud and i think
1:42 pm
no i don't think i'm convinced that there is no other reason for my family to be targeted than my reporting but the attack has had no effect at all professional work i covered difficult stories before and i will carry on doing this in the coming years i was told to prophesy on evan we did our share we know very little about the people committed as those attacks because unfortunately there isn't been proper prosecution as the prime minister promised at the time i think the political will from the political leaders may say they're not supporting brave prosecutors and law enforcement officers to find those responsible for this kind of acts because this can also lead to them this is kind of attacks against journalists will go unpunished certainly would push more journalists to toward self-censorship and not you know at bravely encourages the best for journalists dan is in our reporting . the war against critical journalist isn't just waged with bullets
1:43 pm
more often it's waged with words. threats smear campaigns and online harassment have become the tools for those in power to fight dissenting voices. alice taylor is a toronto based journalist earlier this year was the subject of a far reaching this marriage campaign that she says was orchestrated by the government this was a result she says of her critical coverage of the wire taps and corruption in the ruling socialist party i made a comment to russia today a factual comment on what i've been happening with the political situation. and then suddenly my phone started going crazy and i started receiving messages from people sending me links pro-government media had started saying that i was a russian spy they publish my face hey you said that i was paid by russia or the
1:44 pm
