signs that the president's biggest supporter on the american airwaves is having some serious 2nd thoughts he draws crowds that will 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 gretta to him berg's climate speech as a swedish death metal song somehow. 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

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 network on where fox should draw the line and 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

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 in 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 in 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 big 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 more than it is immense is just more of the same. the russian investigation was such a complex set of facts that i think it was tough for democrats to really explain

why trump should be impeached thank you very much here whereas here with the whistleblower complaint regarding trump stealing. not just with other countries as well is a lot more straightforward and 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 some military aid that we were supposed to. put upon that and so then this phone call africans 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

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 that 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 poll 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 of men 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. yes 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's air. so you have this tension within fox these 2 anchors essentially sailin each other's integrity shep smith. covered thinks it's appropriate he had on judge entered the part time that he has said that these are serious issues raised by the supreme lower than that 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

position so you saw tucker carlson some hours later a 2nd chance from the former federal prosecutor joe is it a crime here former federal prosecutor well i think judge you know politan oh there's a full shep smith came back you know a day later and said attacking our colleague who is here to offer a legal assessment 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 rather puzzling then it's not clear if that was you or maybe someone's republican and so that's a 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 had become something that people are talking about. and that's schism that fox

viewers see in the networks outpoint 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 hired 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. thinkers cross the political spectrum you know it will be undone if the trump himself. but for the moment or now.

it's impossible to see. the relationship between it may well be the 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 as a whole 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 facts anchors hit the road with president trying not to cover him to campaign with him. 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 as by the media mob is one and the

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. fox news are all that stands between donald trump becoming the next richard nixon the president the washington post brought 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

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

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. one of our producers tariq nasr tarak one year ago this week the saudi journalist from awful 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

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 fits them on foreign soil would never have been carried out with i have 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 new general how to lulu who story is one we him 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 inside iraq ever since i don't know . about reports that have flowed has been tortured while in jail this is how he

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 by now me saying that he doesn't know happening 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 decided 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

about what happened that was a moment shot on female activist still in jail for still paying a price in fact arabia a year after her shock she's 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 theirs 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

all gets fed into the well oiled modi media messaging machine listening posts may not be now on or around remote careful clever use of overseas indians to appeal to voters at home. houston prime minister but 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

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. modi 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 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

a time when things were slightly sour between india and the united states of america especially when it comes to trade. so at 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 has travelled out to the be a nearly $100.00 times visiting some 60 countries. whether it's new york

johannesburg. spends an inordinate amount of time on the road with communities building political ties and forging political narratives he's 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 moody 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

immigrants would not have been able to do and what the b j p 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 modi 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 gradually 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 pounds and their hands to the cause campaigning in the world's largest democracy is an expensive business and tracking all those overseas to missions is not easy since the system is deliberately opaque but this much we know when it comes to fundraising the b.g.p.

run circles around its congress party competition they're a source of tremendous capital those dollars are very very valuable the 2nd point i'd say is that just in terms of influence these many of these. people may not be able to go 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 and 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 foreign rallies don't just play to one audience the diaspora they're also targeted at indians back home the rallies are live streamed live tweeted and more than anything they are made for t.v.

. it's the illusion to look through the indian t.v. channels have seen amongst the most eager to jump on to 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 they go on 6 to the point don't go day by day that's when the big debate coming up on the other side and the much more trump mostly 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

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 drum. 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 pritam of the press if you watch the ingenues an extremely critical of prime minister modi and the b j 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 they already 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 the bill and melinda gates foundation but the stated reasons for all those foreign trips is not to boost the movie brand or to provide more content for all the indian news channels in his corner it is to attract more investment into india are now better trade deals and to boost exports and all of that hasn't quite materialized 1st of all they took or were as the prime minister and 2014 between 20142019 he made the 100000 which was almost double the number of the trip that his previous estimates to montmorency had made but have they been very effective to take back investment to the country i doubt that because statistics show otherwise india is the 3rd largest investor in the u.k. the u.k. is the 3rd largest investor in india this was the story even before 2014 and it's continues to be what this should be seen as the more this spectacle is not just

about more the. an america if there's about a sort of global politics of emotions and passions and the strong man populist leader and what this value is telling us that is the populist leaders of the world coming together and been doing constituencies through it they all have a similar vocabulary and these kinds of events are sure kissing their vocabulary and they can. to the best of the ones and this is about global politics which we all need to keep an eye on. and finally gretta to unberth 16 year old climate activist as you have never seen or heard her before tune bergs been taking a lot of flack from so-called climate skeptics and elements in the right wing news media with an axe to grind although they'd probably prefer a chainsaw because it runs on petroleum they have gone after her over her mental

health they've depicted her as a victim of parental abuse the political left as well as a pawn of the liberal news media to newburgh called out political leaders for not doing enough on climate change at a speech at the un last week and when a metal head a drummer from new york city heard that speech and the language that she used he decided that her passion and her outrage were worthy of a musical make over the result 3600000 views and counting is the stuff of which metal means are made we'll see you next time hear the listener. if you. wish.

to. children or risk it all for you in the country it was. the death of a. boy holds to ban them from the real one a 18th beats time. on. al-jazeera. my. the white house says turkey will invade northern syria soon and the u.s. will not be involved.

hello welcome to al-jazeera live from doha i'm martin that is also coming up. a rising death toll in demonstrations across iraq but the government denies its forces were responsible for shooting protests since. supporters of tunis is another party celebrate as the polls show it has a slight lead in parliamentary election. crisis mode the world health organization meets in manila after news that up to $11000000.00 children are at risk of death or disability. but 1st the white house says turkey will invade northern syria soon and that it's been threatening to do so for a number of months washington released a statement in which it said the united states armed forces will not support or be involved in the operation and having defeated the isis territorial caliph it will

no longer be in the immediate area right this at the very latest now from our correspondent in istanbul seen them called the early and sinister this information coming out of washington what is turkey saying about this operation which apparently is imminent. marty actually right before 1000 how does announce the persons present project i presented to us for donald trump had a phone conversation and after that we had a readout from the kurdish presidency saying that they're both leaders actually kenyans talked about the possible military intervention in north korea and they both agreed to meet the cone and the company was placed in washington that month so there was no sign of a military presence in the curtain however turks have been calling for dislike for this military intervention for a long time and you know turkey wants support from the us and act to be

a coalition to encourage in that area where both sides have joint patrolling 5 kilometer deep in the northern area by the morgan border of turkey inside syria. and now that turkey will and 30 was expecting to have been gathered however there is one question mark when the american freighter turkey will be alone a little places we heard that we have no idea because last week turkish defense minister was also again making a call for such an operation saying that turkey turkey patience has been over but. the support from u.s. consular part question really opening the right or not really we don't know if. let me interrupt there sorry let me interrupt you please there has been a statement coming from the presidential spokesman brame kelly in which he talks

about turkey going in to create the things then and cleaning up terrorist elements what are the turks mean when they talk about terrorist elements in this region. this is the 1st curtis statement after the white house announcement for turkey the y p d porter's appear in court despite a group why p.g. in north northern syria is a border that is a threat to national security because turkey claims that the kurds why p.g. is an option so doubtful kurdistan workers' party people which turkey e.u. and the us claim that the is the case that parents organization. 30 pesos kurdish 'd parents in the it's been part of the greatest ever have and will for an autonomous state or an independent state and that will end up with a bigger curtain that can also divide iraq iran and turkey as well that's why turkey is against any autonomic entity of

a kurdish elements group and not a syria the us has claimed that the wife troops to fight again i thought under the umbrella of the theory that of course the forces at the f.m. kyllikki accuses us by this because if you say that the comment their level of the f. is all former peep a case commanders that's why air both sides have been arguing about this and turkey wants to clear that area up saying that this can also have an impact in turkey founder's as well 1 it's clear coat of not in the country right 38 all right center and so the white house statement says that this operation is to be launched soon to have any idea as to when turkey is going to go into northern syria. michael. gordon military the resident for a long time to both agree gone gone with the proper turkey has the ball hoops good

order. more you recall than everything even from the border. and they were you know we can't argue they want to be ready for everything and would love to do is we have really gone very well told sort of our portal called build towards the eastern part of the are you prepared to bring. the route they are all ready and that's what the military has been very. according to the purpose announced they will be and. sent him because he is reporting live from istanbul thank you now iraq's government has denied that its security forces fired directly at protesters during 6 days of violent demonstrations so far at least 109 people have been killed since the arrest began on tuesday more than 6000 people have been injured she have written reports.

after days of demonstrations across iraq the number of dead continues to rise in the aftermath of the killings iraq's interior ministry pushed back when i was with us accounts that security forces fired live ammunition at protesters likely out of limb could take everyone knows there were no armed battles clashes or confrontations between the security forces and the protesters but there were wicked and he knows hands that targeted the victims on both sides when we went and checked the bodies of the masses the injuries were in the head or the heart it is clear that the shooting did not take place from the close distance or from the area where the security forces were present a serious investigation is ongoing to find out who is behind such a wicked and he miss operation. and scores of casualties as demonstrators vent their anger at a government that's been in power for just over a year that the protestors are mainly young men and youth unemployment has now reached 25 percent according to the world bank. we the youth are protesting

peacefully what do they want from the youth why are they killing us the protesters say they have a drop of a system that they say is corrupt and serving the interests of a few they say they don't support any political parties but that doesn't stop the political opposition from backing the protesters and calling for new elections i think this is a case of political point scoring this is a systemic issue so when you have parties refusing to take part in parliamentary debates making sure that there isn't a core and so they can't go ahead this is also that they can plan impression on prime minister i did at that maybe on sunday the iraqi government pledged 17 reforms covering land redistribution increased welfare payments to those in need and the construction of 100000 new housing units the government launched a program of home demolitions in september targeting the makeshift shelters of the poor ahead of the u.n. mission to iraq is called for the violence to stop in

in the peaceful demonstrations for simply asking for their rights the cut of their internet the cut of their electricity so they don't believe their message to the world and we're here to show our support and to tell them we stand with you and to see iran out out iraq will mean 3. exit poll showing this is conservative and harder as one parliamentary elections by a narrow margin the secular party heart of tunis came in 2nd but is hasham a whole bar reports the election results may lead to more political tension. and moment of celebration for another supporters the conservative party has secured 4 to 6 seats in preliminary results but it's a bitter victory for a party that won 69 seats 5 years ago now only then a memory that you did we are at the beginning of a new period that people have given us their trust and they will live up to it. we

will use all of tunisia's political capital in order to achieve their main objectives of the revolution such as the protection of personal and public freedom . the 2nd objective is dignity which requires jobs education and health services. the secular heart of tunisia has come in 2nd with $35.00 seats the party was founded a 3 month. go by media tycoon or bill carter we who's in jail on corruption charges the coalition of dignity and alliance of independent candidate came in 3rd with 20 seats and the surprising performers by the newcomer the constitutional liberal party securing 16 seats the party was established in 2013 by i.b.m. morsi a lawyer and loyalist of a former president been highly but the biggest loser is the data onus of the call of the party of former president. which was the largest party in

2014 with $86.00 seats in parliament it was an election marred by a growing discontent with the political establishment a few voters showed up at this polling station in the capital tunis most of them early but determined to be part of tunisia 2nd democratic election since the revolution 80 years ago menat uneasy and angry with their leader. very much wanted to see young candidates unfortunately to the same all the lead security and economy should be the top priority for the government during the campaign another and the heart of tunisia brushed aside joining a coalition government if another fails to form an alliance within 60 days the president can call for new elections there is a feeling among what may happen next if another.
