journey that would take a paramedic 25 minutes something it's the trials and the lake district national park is still at an early stage but mines and rescuers are excited by the new technologies potential the whole thing works beautifully well and you know we i think we've both teams came away from the feeling that you know actually as a kind of for out and as extreme as the settlements it is actually a possibility. well that i'm home i'm getting into hump of the headlines and on to syria about tempers and that same skill set 1st debate between donald trump and his democratic challenger joe biden has been held in ohio trump failed to condemn white supremacists who target says what he calls the radical left and i would say almost everything i see is from the left wing not from the right like what do you what do you what do you sign up willing to do anything i want to see what he has no answer

do it say you want to call him what do you want to call him give me a name give me what is a process and like he can die out process and right proud of us stand back and stand by but i'll tell you what i'll tell you what somebody has got to do something about anti for and the left because this is not a right as we are of them is there is a levy are direct this is a left we have got about right. this is a president who has used everything as a dog whistle to try to generate racist hatred racist division this is a man who in fact if you talk about helping african-americans one in 1000 african-americans has been killed because of the cone the coronavirus and if he doesn't do something quickly by the end of the year one in 500 will have been killed one in 500 african-americans this man this man is that is a savior of african-americans this man cares at all this man has done virtually

nothing the one cemented debates play dice in chaotic fashion here's a sense of just time much we're moving on he didn't take that well as a president to be honest it's a very a portrait of you know i sit up i doubt it the answer the question is no you betray you know sir with a $1000000000.00 if you that really is about you know when your way not run through hell you're doing it you're going to not a true gentleman is i hate to raise my voice but i do you say to me i watch should i be different than the 2 of you and in other news 40 days of mourning have been declared across kuwait's following the death of its mere son. his 83 year old tough brother the crime prince will be sworn in on life and say well those are the headlines stay with us and al-jazeera the liston post is next. overthrow and exiled they a point they got to say before all this race. i mean too much film about the

struggle of the elected leader of madagascar to return to his country and reinstate his presidency he knows that the troops fortunes and we all know to go for broke is the top of a lot of what look for change this return of the president on al-jazeera. protesters in thailand they cannot be sure thanks. to but i mean it's just years has also been the call to refer to transpire that this is very helpful to justice in thailand and the tearing to go with what this head. warmer to give birth and you're watching the listening post working from home here are some of the media stories we're covering this week. unrest in thailand protesters take on the taboo that outlaws criticism of the political system and the monarchy at the heart of the turkish president sues

a greek newspaper for a front page featuring a 4 letter word the paper says bring it on sports stadiums are empty but broadcasters are bursting with ideas on how to make up for the missing fans and making a mockery online of britain's pandemic response when you're trying to conceive i went through a metaphorical make up tutorial. as coronavirus lockdowns have gone into effect in country after country thailand has had a different experience shutting the borders and the early and widespread adoption of face masks have helped keep the numbers down there it's also meant that political activists who have gone quiet across many countries hard hit by cope at 19 have been able to take to the streets the latest demonstrations were sizable and students and protestors have been zeroing in on one of the country's most taboo political and social issues the monarchy whether you're an activist or a journalist covering the unrest criticizing thailand's royal family can land you

in jail decades of image building pro-monarchy propaganda and intimidation through some strict laws have affectively immunized thai royals against criticism but with the pandemic taking such a toll on the economy young thais are demanding all kinds of reforms and they refused to let either tradition or legal restrictions silence our starting point this week is back now. it comes down to a simple hash tag why do we need to keep one worth a reported $30000000000.00 in a country economically staggered by a pandemic the biggest protests thailand has seen since the coup in 2014 started 2 months ago with students demanding the dissolution of parliament and fresh elections one month. then the demonstrators added an explosive element to their list of demands swinging their attention onto the time honored the relationship between king mahaba factor along corinth and the military general term for prime

minister used. in a country where criticizing the monarchy can land you in jail for up to 50000000 us . everyone agrees that everything under a democratic system should be open to questioning and critique and if we claim that thailand is a democratic country then we should be able to criticize our institutions especially the king a person who plays such an important role in the governance of the country and here . you know we're not just talking about the private life of the king which is the cost in britain the private lives of the royal 'd family have been really dissect the package and sold in thailand the past is expected to some sense or some element. regarding the monarchy they stick to the fish alliance that has been the practice over the past decade you know. actually the

way thai people respect and pray to their kids is not different from how we treat our parents and grandparents were shipping the monarchy is a common practice in thai society we cannot compare our way of living with westerners because the roots of our societies are different you cannot compare bread with a car ok. that's a pro-monarchy choice talking but it's not how the students driving the protests see. they're up against a government that 1st took power in the truth as well as the justice system and a lesmond just law that has been on the books since 90 no way lesmond just as a french term meaning to do wrong to match that law known as article $11.00. to makes it illegal to defame or insult the can or the royal family it also allows legal cases to be brought by any citizen who makes a complaint to the authorities are relying on article 112 less often these days

they now police speech online through newer laws such as the computer crime act of 2017 which has become the thai government statute of choice when it wants to prosecute journalists and others who don't toe the red line meet asked by the size of the monarchy you will be shocked but not in a less majestic lead a committed a crime it all has become a political weapon some data soul company they know all about police ball height justice system but also the human rights pretty high that i've been highlighting it is a law to shop people's mouths the law is too broad with far too aggressive punishment regarding other with some that are less majestic when the government can use article $113.00 that relates to efforts to overthrow the government or article $116.00 relating to political agitation the application of like means really

obstruct efforts to build a democratic society. tie governments that have attempted to challenge the power of the royal family have not lost tax and sion away to a billionaire tech and communications back and tried it after being elected prime minister in 2001 the military took him down 5 years later with shinawatra in exile in 2011 his sister young luck ran in his place and what she was deposed in 2014 attacks and shinawatra remains in exile as does the academic behind one of the most influential social media pages on thai politics sometimes. when chechen out pong paddle from the relative safety of kioto japan. he can criticize the monarchy military complex in bangkok without fear of arrest late last month when the thai authorities blocked access to his facebook page royalist marketplace. and just

started another one within days he had more than a 1000000 followers and. 1.5000000 i can tell you that eggs are not at. all between the age of 18 who could be. very active they don't want to get one. takes a plea you know even when. you know how do. you actually get the facebook group drawing a list. is in a way freefall then you people want to criticize the monarchy. so that name is an oxymoron so this is such a cold name it's. a place where you could let the steam out and pretend as a highly. creepy when it comes to freedom of speech regarding the monarchy many

of the members do not use their real identity so they are having. a very good time saying whatever they want negatively was critically. we need to transform social media to enforce accountability and responsibility amongst internet users for what they do and. we do not want the kind of freedom that the allows people to distort or create think. we as supporters of the government do not seek to diminish the basic rights of citizens but online users need to be held accountable for their. discussions fact based on social platforms like facebook grow more important when much of the mainstream news. media are doing their job thailand's haven't been ever since price channel just went out to power in 2014 arbitrary arrests of reporters

have grown routine at least 10 fled the country and the government has allowed intelligence operatives from other countries including china and vietnam into thailand to arrest journalists and bloggers who thought they were safe in exile the time mainstream media know that questioning the monarchy is a line just not worth crossing. as for the thai press they've been following us to report on our protest but the key problem with that bill trainable movement time journalists sometimes fail to report all the facts or they raise important points basically the time don't report about the royal family except for a daily news program with superficial information what we're asking for is implementation about the money he's budgeted we care about their finances because it affects us the citizens directly but you know but this is the kind of thing that the kind of president human touch force just with for the think i say this here the

parliament has approved such and such a sum of money to be used by the royal family and i think that's highly media particularly the mainstream media is at a crossroads the main risk. becoming irrelevant i mean what is the press if they don't report what's happening. this of course to the 1st draft of history. and yet you just pretend that what you're seeing is not happening. what is your role as a journalist. and other media story that's on our radar this week relates to coverage of the dispute that's flared up between turkey and greece over gas reserves in the eastern mediterranean meenakshi ravi has been. looking into it man up president aired on one of turkey has taken issue with the coverage of this geo political story which media outlets is he talking about specifically he

certainly isn't happy with what the media have been putting out richard turkey and greece both lay claim to gas reserves in the eastern med and over the past few months there's been a fair amount of matter time just in between the 2 countries the media coverage has been pretty charged 100 people in particular the right wing athens based democracy published a pretty good walk into front page we need translated from the greek it reads if you mr erdogan and they make sure that they put that english translation on the front page as well president only one's personal lawyer immediately filed a criminal case in unca in which he cited the author of the article as well as democrats he has editors as suspects and this isn't the 1st foreign newspaper that the president of turkey has gone after as it know there have been legal cases against french and german outlets in the past but this case involves more than just the courts the legal massacre to turkey has been recalled to athens he made a statement in which he admitted that the headline was crass but he said the

government respects freedom of speech and no action would be taken against democrats here the people itself is completely unapologetic the republic that front page with another headline which when you translated says come and get us and that line about freedom of speech had to be a veiled shot at turkey and its lousy reputation for freedom of the press in front of me was the turkish government can be extremely harsh on journalists in the country and media freedoms have really been squeezed over the past decade or so richard now one prosecution that we've covered extensively has been of the former editor in chief of the turkish paper julian the editor's name is john dyer back in 2015 an article published in the us people are exposed to secret turkish government shipments of arms to syria that are to the lead to do indoors at s t. tried in court before he fled to germany in 2016 a turkish government has now declared a fugitive and has given him 15 days to come back to turkey and present himself

before a judge otherwise all his assets in turkey will be seized remember also gondar lives in germany with his wife but the rest of his family still live in turkey ok thanks alina. this pandemic that has had so many of us locked down in our homes for months has also resulted in an unexpected boom for entertainment t.v. cooking shows dramas films on various streaming services have all had captive audiences and some big ratings live sports though haven't had it easy 1st leagues around the world were put on hold many of them have since resumed but with no fans suddenly live sports broadcasts from empty courts and stadiums have become one of the most innovative and creative spaces in the t.v. industry we're seeing cardboard cutouts of supporters robot cheerleaders c.g.i. fans and we're hearing fake crowd sounds the results have been hidden mess but some of the gimmicks have grown as entertaining as the players on the field the

listening post johannah who's now on watching sports in pandemic times and the lengths that broadcasters will go to keep fans tuning in. and you can see it's a little bit here recently with mike but it has been a huge watershed moment in the pandemic times films for how we broadcast obviously sport runs on passion and emotion and some of the games that intensity and passion because there were no crowds that certainly lack it from a t.v. experience i remember in march when we 1st kind of went under. the thought was oh my god there's there's no fans we can't possibly do this it was definitely harder without you know the spectacle and fans but the most important. economic aspect the sport is the t.v. but the t.v. audience need to present would be i liken them to extras on a field except they pay to be there. so you can have

a battle scene with without extras and i don't think you could have a really compelling t.v. spool contents without an audience. screen. and so does the players have come to come to fields pictures in courts around the world sports leagues in broadcasters have pulled out every trick in the book and some new ones to create the illusion that the audience the spectators never really met. the . efforts to recreate the fans in the scenes have ranged from creative. quite questionable and they say. they utterly bizarre. stance have been filled with toys and in the case of south korea's f.c.c.

even to sex but to. some major broadcasters however including sky sports and b t k have decided it isn't so much the visual presence of supporters as much as their impact that really gives funds to sense that they are watching with the crowd . sky sports was one of the 1st networks to go all in with audio for its coverage of the premier league it seemed up with e.a. sports the company behind the fee for video games they $1.00 of the most extensive and sophisticated libraries of sound effects which is actually what makes their games as immersive as they are sky sports acquire those sounds and they are now key to the viewing experience that they are trying to create. an audio engineers like adam perry have their work cut out for them fortunately we were given that freedom as operators try and really tell us a story we weren't just pushing about and then hoping for the best. so.

i would go 3rd. i would listen to each individual and on this occasion i have 10 club another sound that we have available. as a bed and which is it's kind of just the sound of the stadium as if people were mingling kind of looking for their seats inside bring in those chants again. starting to kind of build up you know how you feel the game might sound as it's live and then again that what i would be checking is my goal reaction. i can push it really loud or i could have a soft. sometimes what can happen is you may think it's a goal so you trigger the go sample how to do it. but then you realize as the commentators are speaking and explaining all you know unfortunately the play master kind of. got that wrong and then we try to do for them

trigger off a mis reaction. and then kind of cover up the mistake. despite the work going into the audio design of these games initially it looked like the fake sounds wouldn't catch on when the premier league resumed in june twitter was alight somewhat skeptical phones. however 3 months after football returned to our screens sky sports says that 75 percent of those watching at home that deafening played to me preferred the audio in hong. kong or decided i. sports broadcasting is a big money business standard media index a company that tracks t.v. ad spending in the united states as to makes that the suspension of just one league the national basketball association or n.b.a. e.s.p.n. t.n.t. and a.b.c. almost a quarter of a $1000000000.00 to ensure advertisers would return and the fans continue to see

value in their sports channel subscriptions some broadcasters have gone to lux they aren't just making sounds of the life events they are using reality technology to create the visuals of the packed arena. i just logged on to what i think is going to be quite a bizarre experience the n.b.a. is virtual fans of the league teamed up with microsoft to life dream supporters into the stands and i just took one of those virtual seats and means i can share on the players i can interact with all of the other digital bands in the seats all while sitting on my sofa on the other side of the atlantic folks sports to get even further and further. coverage of major league baseball is populated stadium with computer generated fans. using graphical gaming engines we had visually replace the crowd and this wasn't to trick or for the audience into thinking there actually was a full crowd but just to normalize the experience and we felt that again as game

presenters seeing that full stadium was something that the audience could appreciate however when you choose to visually replace crowds it's exponentially more difficult because you need to accurately track all of the cameras make sure that you have laser scans of the stadiums to map the crowds in and then finally figure out how they should be reacting so there is a litany of complexity involved with that these visuals about working with the developments inside. to try and get as close to reality the simulation of reality as possible they have had to give everybody the same the dedicated you or the casual. that this is where it is not an interior it's not to see if it is a very. clever you are just as real as any other kind of

television program your willing to suspend disbelief. when it comes to manipulating the feeling experiences some t.v. networks. as a result of the. leaks like the n.h.l. and the n.b.a. moved into. sports complexes that was turned into isolation. but. the entirety of the season. for. these fine space. to dress up in the absence of live. n.b.a. was able to. camp out in a bubble so they were able to bring a lot of technology to bear and just stay there similarly for the w w e and they've got thunderdome which is down in orlando they're able to acquire some

residence there so number one i think is a logistics number 2 it's just depending on what the sport can bear for instance in nascar which was one of the other 1st ports that was back by not having fans allowed us to use camera angles that we hadn't used before so there's definitely some pluses and minuses in terms of. what you're able to do the have been a lot of positives on the big wins it's been the choice of being able to listen to the game the set the natural sound of the game i think what you've been out to pick up is a lot of tactical conversations and i fascinating to people i have quite the old there and you can close how they go about coaching their teams on the benches. it's been 6 months since to go below sounds again coronavirus isn't going anywhere just yet and so for the time being the only fans in the stands are going to be digital ones. for people tuning in from home despite the enhanced graphics and

thinks sports programming never makes the heights of its condemning quality. because when it comes to televised sporting spectacle is not just about what the players playing for the field it's also about broadcasting in the crowd and playing for the game. and finally using makeup as a metaphor for the new coronavirus restrictions in the u.k. that have left the public confused british schools have now reopened people are slowly returning to work but the gatherings of more than 6 people have been forbidden unless for some reason you want to go hunting one influencer has taken to social media. highlight just how absurd these guidelines are collecting okafor uses a make up tutorial format that's growing popular online to show us how to use mascara for instance to simultaneously accentuate our eyes and the failures of boris johnson's government in handling this pandemic will see you next time you're

going to sleep just high enough to make up tutorial before i thought why not do one now to show you the kind of look i go for for my eyes what i've got my mask on just want to put the can see and over kind of eyebrow area when you're trying to conceive i want you to kind of think about the way the government kind of conceal to the extent the magnitude of the pandemic in the weeks months leading up to lock down so it comes to like choosing my own shadow just. treat it like the track and trace app that we were meant to have just kind of make a big deal about it over here and just kind of fade it fade it's how it's kind of make a big deal about everything and then just kind of like fade out around the sides next we go in. and i love the scar it's a kind of accentuate the eyes really want to accentuate it the way that we you know the government love to accentuate the migrant crisis and xenophobia generally

whenever they need to have serious discussions about how this pandemic was handled and you know do bragg's it so yeah just. accentuate so to finish i sometimes like to just go under the i am very very delicately delicate as our lives are under this government and that they don't take very seriously by giving us mixed messages and there you have it. young women with a passion for the space i used to dream about working and if they are still company i like not sound enough so that a small step of the science a giant leap for womankind in kurdistan the name of don't place it inside and at the scheduled time the satellite of the sent into space women make science cut a stunt space school at the certified on al-jazeera.
