4:17 am
mike comes in he wasn't thinking about impregnating rhinos when he developed this flexible robotic catheter for microsurgery but it turns out it's perfect for the job we've developed the robotic tool that is very thin long flexible device that we can very accurately steer through these narrow channels so that we can get very deep into the rhino uterine body and the posit the specimens as needed the ultimate goal of this project is to produce a self-sustaining herd of northern white rhinos 1st in captivity and then return to the wild in africa that goal is decades away and durant says she may not live to see it happen but that's ok if we don't lay the groundwork it's not going to happen so i think that what we're doing now is extremely important for the long game for

4:21 am
the top stories i'm going to have more news for you in half an hour stay with us coming up next it's been listening post thanks for watching i'll see you soon ok. within minutes of its release the whistle like sparking potshot kept calling out shows the president right now on great britain or. right now. with the president also attacking. with the. hello i'm richard burton you're at the listening post here are some of the media stories that we're covering this week donald trump and fox news there are signs
4:22 am
that the president's biggest supporter on the american airwaves is having some serious 2nd thoughts he draws crowds that would put bollywood superstars and indian cricketers to shame india's no rent remote and the art of the overseas mega rally one year after the killing of jamal khashoggi the saudi crown prince gets a grilling on american television and comes up short and gratitude in berg's climate speech as a swedish death metal song somehow that strikes the right now. as the impeachment inquiry in the u.s. congress gathers steam president trump tweets about a crew and talk of a looming civil war there are signs of an in-house civil war at the biggest most influential news network in the country fox news the complaint at the center of the impeachment story filed by an anonymous whistleblower alleges that trump abused his powers by asking the government of ukraine to dig up dirt on joe biden
4:23 am
a possible opponent in next year's presidential election fox has been a bedrock of support for this president and there were some signs before the ukraine story of dissent at the now. at work on where fox should draw the line in its backing of trump however this story has exposed those divisions like never before the hosts arguing with each other on the air reflect a deeper split amongst fox executives and within the network's owners the murdoch family and as fox's best known viewers it's not like donald trump hasn't noticed some of those angry tweets he used to reserve for c.n.n. and the new york times are now heading fox's way our starting point this week is washington d.c. . the prospect of the impeachment of donald trump has been a preoccupation of much of the american news media since before trump was even
4:24 am
sworn in this headline was published just 6 days after trump was selected more than 2 months before he took office then came the russia gate story out of washington and the latest on the russian best again on the alleged collusion between the trump campaign and the kremlin during the 2016 election the investigation into that by special counsel robert muller had many u.s. news outlets feasting on the story for more than 2 years and the american presidency right now is the product of collusion between the russian intelligence services and an american campaign i mean that is so profoundly in the end it fell short of the high expectations that many journalists in their excitement had helped to create all of which has made it easier for the white house to argue that the ukraine story which is centered around a phone call between trump and president for modern medicine men is just more of the same. russia investigation it was such a complex set of facts that i think it was tough for democrats to really explain
4:25 am
why trump should be impeached thank you very much here whereas here with the whistleblower complaint regarding trump stealing such a. with ukraine other countries as well is a lot more straightforward so i think that has lend itself to making a clear case for impeachment the white house to have just released the transcript of the july 25th phone call between president trump and the ukrainian president selenski there was a discussion about the military there we were supposed to say but trump had put upon that and so then this phone call happens and trump says you know paraphrasing but ok i'm going to need you to do us a favor. and the favor that he's asking is he wants him to investigate his chief political rival. donald trump leveraged his power over
4:26 am
ukrainian leader and that's very simple you can explain that to almost anyone and once you explain to them that it's illegal it will be very easy for them to understand much of the media in this country is not just fake it's corrupt the president's response has followed the standard shoot the messenger pattern attacks on the news outlets reporting the story as well as a few potshots at the network that usually has his back fox news signs that donald trump's affection for fox was on the wane had come even before the ukraine story turned up the heat 6 weeks ago after the network ran an unflattering paul trump tweeted fox isn't working for us anymore. in the past month idea the president has been calling into question some of fox media hosts as well as the network itself for not always coming to his defense the president expects fox to be in his corner he expects people to come to his defense
4:27 am
a man when they don't necessarily at least in his eyes there is some tension there for most of his term fox has defended the president ok surely news anchors shepard smith and chris wallace have swim against the current and told it like it is. why did the president use private attorneys rather than it out of the state but they are vastly outnumbered and the hardcore support for trump comes in primetime through the hosts of opinion shows names like carlson hannity and ingrid the ukraine story has resulted in that schism being laid bare on fox is there. so you have this tension within fox these 2 anchors essentially sailing each other's integrity shep smith. covered thinks it's appropriate he had on judge entered the public tunnel he has said that these are serious issues raised by the subpoena or the vet to which the president has admitted is in and of itself a crime yes this is the same crime for all this is insufficient devoted president's
4:28 am
positions and saw tucker carlson some hours later a 2nd chance we're not former federal prosecutor general is it a crime here former federal prosecutor well i think judge an apollo tano there's a full shop smith came back you know a day later and said attacking our colleague who is here to offer legal assessments on our air in our home is repugnant shep smith said who could disagree his ideas this is ridiculous and then tucker carlson did it again the next night punkin not clear if that was you or maybe someone's repugnant and so that's the feud between shepard smith and tucker carlson did kind of highlight schism at fox news again this isn't really a new thing. but because impeachment is such a significant thing to possibly remove a president from office seems like the stakes have gotten higher and so these feuds have become something that people are talking. and that's schism that fox viewers
4:29 am
see in the networks outport also exists and probably starts at the executive level . rupert murdoch's heir apparent lachlan murdoch. is reportedly far less unarmored of the president than his father is and although fox continues to hire ex administration officials like the former director of communications hope here is also hard one of trump's republican adversaries the former speaker of the house paul ryan which may prove significant down the road. if you could combine a roller coaster and revolving door that would describe the relationship between the republican party and the white house and fox news and this is part of. murdoch by certain agencies thinkers cross the political spectrum you know it will be on john if the trump himself. but for the moment or now.
4:30 am
it's impossible to see. the. it may well be that paul ryan wants to. see a world i would say that the president's bedrock of support at fox is wavering. i don't think his relationship with fox news is going to change and may criticize certain people within fox but his relationship with the network is still very strong he needs fox in a way that they really get to his base they get to the people who. vote for him and well he hopes will vote for them again. sometimes fax anchors hit the road with president trying not to cover him to campaign with you. when jeanine pirro or sean hannity appear on long side trump at a rally they look more like running mates than journalists when hannity returns to his studio he routinely criticizes other reporters for their lack of objectivity biden incorporated they have now been exposed in spite of the media mob is why the
4:31 am
cloud on ukraine hannity argues the real story is the corruption of the biden family and as one of his colleagues said this past week hannity and by extension fall. news are all that stands between donald trump becoming the next richard nixon the president the washington post broke down in the 1970 s. watergate scandal you know if it wasn't your show sean they would destroy him absolutely you know the difference between donald j. trump and richard nixon you know it is kind of an interesting thought exercise to think about what you know how things might have been different for nixon had he had the conservative media infrastructure that exists today therefore. i shall resign the presidency effective. because you know if you read about watergate a lot of the big revelations that occurred in the washington post or on you know during the watergate hearings there wasn't kind of this right wing infrastructure spinning it you know immediately into tens of millions of people every night but i
4:32 am
do think that it's likely that nixon would have survived water he had he had something like fox news spinning the watergate hearings highlighting democrats looking bad during moments where they were questioning witnesses that sort of thing . it kind of provides a whole different way of interpreting news events. that is something fox has always offered americans a whole new way a right wing way of interpret in the news we're going to lay out the truth each and every detail what the president did absolutely nothing wrong nothing its reporters are skilled at glossing over the facts but the executives calling the shots no there is no escaping the numbers they live and die by ratings something donald trump knows all about and the polls now showing a majority of americans are in favor of impeaching the president do not bode well for the trump fox relationship it's already starting to get messy the break up
4:33 am
should it come to that will be must watch t.v. . we're looking at other media stories that are on our radar this week with one. our producers tarik not tarak one year ago this week the saudi journalist jamal for shock she walked into that saudi consulate in istanbul where he was suffocated killed and then dismembered the cia has concluded that the man who ordered that killing was the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solemn on known as and the s. this past week and b.s. went on c.b.s.'s 60 minutes in the u.s. to defend himself how did that go through richard when one of them from on 1st appeared on 60 minutes back in 2018 phoebe death of norah o'donnell themed rather impressed with his ideas this time around she was much more forceful did you order . absolutely
4:34 am
not you know this was a heinous crime like those but i take full responsibility as a leader in saudi arabia especially since it was committed by individuals working for the saudi government it's a pretty weak response because mohamed been fun man is the saudi government and the killing of a high profile citizen on foreign soil would never have been carried out without his faith all right but he was just one target of riyadh's campaign against internal dissent he was a journalist had that platform in the washington post his story was always going to get a lot of coverage but c.b.s. also asked about female dissidents in saudi arabia who have also spent time in prison how did n.b.s. deal with that so the question was about janet huff lulu who story is one we have much less about she's a women's rights activist who was kidnapped from the u.a.e. back in march 28th seen and has been imprisoned in fighting ever since i don't know . about reports that have flowed has been tortured while in jail this is how he
4:35 am
responded. if this is correct it is very heinous islam forbids torture the saudi laws for be torture of human conscience forbids torture and i will personally follow up on this matter as you can imagine this exchange has generated a lot of debate online not least among saudis i spoke with the activist and blogger a member and i shot about the interview on 60 minutes. obviously he's contradicting himself because in the previous interview that he didn't previously on the same show he said that the woman had been arrested because there was evidence against them but now he's saying that he doesn't know havening i believe he's fully aware of it and the fact that they've been keeping her away is kind of for a red flag that there is something happening this side of government is trying to hide it and perhaps one of the reasons why they didn't have more is it's own prison because they're afraid that she's going to speak to the international community
4:36 am
about what happened that was i'm i'm a nice shot on female activist still in jail for still paying a price and saudi arabia a year after has shocked killing ok thanks don. india's prime minister narendra modi has honed the art of the political spectacle the rallies the rousing speeches he held want to couple of weeks back that attracted 50000 people including donald trump in houston texas it was the 15th for a rally modi has held why it's not as though modi supporters with foreign citizenship can actually vote in indian elections but they do have money there is amongst the wealthiest immigrant communities in the u.s. so houston was a fundraising opportunity that neither modi nor trump could afford to pass up the indian diaspora has other political uses that modi is tapping into back home when an indian emigrant is seen as having made it abroad as a lawyer a doctor or a tech whiz and they support modi that reflects well on the prime minister and it
4:37 am
all gets fed into the well oiled modi media messaging machine the listening posts may not be now on or around remote careful clever use of overseas indians to appeal to voters on. houston prime minister met in the movie has a problem already by. actually he has a few if you would india's prime minister which images would you rather see on television screens back home hundreds of foreigners descending on the capital new delhi in protest soldiers deployed across in lockdown trying to keep a lid on the geopolitical powder keg crowds of people protesting you your party's ideology and policies. would you prefer a picture is like beads. 2
4:38 am
50000 supporters most of the indian americans. filling a giant stadium and cheering at your rally the american president donald trump standing alongside waving at supporters and walking hand in hand with you which pictures would you choose. more the currently is besieged on a number of fronts the economy is in a shambles kashmir is another burning issue increasingly you're getting a fair amount of negative international attention so this was a show of strength for modi and it's also a message sent both to his supporters that we will do what we want to do we are standing strong and a message sent to his detractors that i remain unfazed by a criticism i could clearly see that mr modi was on a damage control mode at
4:39 am
a time when things were slightly sour between india and the united states of america especially when it comes to trade. so actually houston i could see that he was making that pitch to the united states and was also making sure that everything is hunky dory between india and the u.s. and particularly between the 2 personalities mr moore the and mr trump the so-called how the mood in houston was just the latest of 15 foreign rallies modi has headlined since coming to power in 2014 and president trump is just the latest foreign leader to stand alongside him. back in 2015 it was london david cameron and an even bigger crowd of 60000. as prime minister modi has travelled out to be a nearly $100.00 times visiting some 60 countries. whether it's new york
4:40 am
johannesburg. spent an inordinate amount of time on the road with communities building political ties and forging political narratives. trying to bring everyone together you know we might be british you might be american but we're still indian and have indian heritage. for no one really is proud to say they're from india and there was some sort of you know remote 3rd world country that no one really gave any importance to seeing prime minister nor they go out to different countries just make people feel proud to be injured i think mr moore d. and his b j p have understood the power of the diaspora very well and they have been able to tap into this power like nobody else has what is different about the current diaspora is that they have the means the internet with no air travel to be able to actually access their motherland very easily which are the whims of indian
4:41 am
immigrants would not have been able to do and what the be debris has done is take this idea that india is your motherland and you have gone elsewhere to work and you can be loyal to abort. the beauty peace courting of the overseas indian did not begin with the more the government the practice began way back in the 1930 s. and by the turn of the century b.g.p. leaders like prime minister atal bihari bajaj were staging annual events celebrating the successes of indians abroad in this year's general election where in the movies b.g.p. harnessed the constituency and it delivered staging prudy flash mobs in cities around the world and donating dollars power. and their hands to the cause campaigning in the world's largest democracy is an expensive business and tracking all those overseas donations is not easy since the system is deliberately opaque but this much we know when it comes to fundraising the b.g.p.
4:42 am
to run circles around its congress party competition their source of tremendous capital those dollars are very very valuable the 2nd point i'd say is that just in terms of influence right that these many of these people may not be able to vote but they have family members they have relatives back in india when you combine it with the ways in which information spreads on whatsapp they just sort of become these amplifiers off certain kinds of information or narratives about india and finally i think symbolically the indian community here is seen as a model minority or community of achieve us so if they can claim those people as his own he gets again a certain amount of symbolic capital so to speak. as public relations events movies fodder and alleys don't just play to one audience the diaspora they're also targeted at indians back home their rallies are live streamed live tweeted and more than anything they are made for t.v.
4:43 am
. it was. through them over the years indian t.v. channels have seemed amongst the most eager to jump onto the prime minister's bandwagon there are vested interests of owners genuine ideological alignment in some cases and often just commercial good sense because among these popularity with increasingly nationalist masses to go wall to wall and he puts on a show like his brand on the point. day by day that's what. the big debate coming up on the other side after much like this morning trump. the media in india is largely pro-government so very few have had reports on the anti war the rallies that were happening in houston in boston in new york
4:44 am
that will not be emphasized in the indian media what will be emphasized is mr trump you know endorsing mr moore the mr moore the endorsing trump the media management has a big part to play everyone is entitled to their opinion and it is an open free and fair democracy there is freedom of the press if you watch the engineers are extremely critical of prime minister monti and the p.d.p. government more so than other foreign channels i think. everyone's just really sick to death of reading the news every day and so when movie doesn't address the international community i think people that are willing and open to listening to him and he would you know the facts and they would know what actually is happening and he would he's done is actually for the benefit of india that last point is debatable the overseas rallies clearly benefit prime minister modi he's vetted by the many countries he visits is granted awards by governments of countries like saudi arabia's russia and the united arab emirates even by organizations such as
