violates its policy on dehumanization that's it the stream is that of i. absolutely out kaley watching the story in the recent high profile arrests of 3 crewmen and critics of zimbabwe's government is a stilton point for today's conversation you may remember a student guests found. she was recently detained for commenting on an alleged case of police brutality she's now out on bail and this is what she told

the stream of. the opposition continues to be stifled in zimbabwe with opponents of the regime and whether the journalists members of the main opposition or general government critics being locked up for protesting and you know some of the indiscretions of the regime including police brutality and corruption this has had and doubted chilling effect on people's ability to speak out freely it's had a chilling effect on freedom of expression and it sits in the end of mind and the ability of citizens to hold the government to account. is symbolic way criminalising de st if you have an opinion on that if you got examples of that you know what to do on each if you can jump into the comment section and be part of today's program we were also hoping that the information ministry of zimbabwe would

also be part of today's program we reached out we asked them multiple times they did not respond to ad requests but we do have an excellent lineup of guests as always when we talk about zimbabwe each bright duck tendai thank you for being on the stream today bright tell our audience who you are what well that is priceless to. duty fortunate that. from a president. and ability to be donors and give as movie used it is. not good to have you nice to have you on the stream tonight national audience he was one of the relevant to today's conversation. i think my name's doug cole taught a machine rights lawyer a constitutional lawyer 'd i spent i spend a lot of my time representing. people you know like the. the 3 who have been locked up for in this latest incident people who speak out on

issues and a lot talk and have been part of the legal team representing. journalists good to have you and i tend i woke into the strain was you know really is need to know about who you are what you do. and we could even leak. and we certainly has literally been into for contempt and they bt i may question. member of parliament. as well as. the face presidents barbara said b s but to the movement for democratic change lanes led by advocate nelson chamisa . so this is a kind of contentious conversation that we're going to use these recent arrests and detention of 3 quite high profile critics of the bobbins government as a case study what's happening in zimbabwe have a look in my laptop these were the 3 that we are talking about this is fan sites he

saw earlier this is joe peace from the m.d.c. alliance and he's an m.p. and then you may well run that recognize you know very well known journalist in zimbabwe and often does stories a critiquing the government so let me just start with bright light why were these 3 even arrested briefly. to wish for the. story was that is. best understood is that they. are islamists. in one muscle or me. no i. understand it where. you fall publishing. aren't so that is you understand let me show out as on my

laptop this is a new zimbabwe this is the headline here latest police investigation dismisses cop baby murder claims you see that a lady in red holding up let me show you the video from that page and you can have a look for yourself he can always decide from looking at video but let's roll that please brutality video because i want to see how. some of the chaos. was the 1st week of january was was 1 very different stories going around town one story was that the police who accidentally beat the baby and the baby died the police are saying that shards of glass fell on the baby as far as i can tell from

that report and the baby hasn't died duck. well. for you international audience i think it's important. to know that in that video what the crowd are shouting at the police officer is you kill the baby you kill the baby he killed the baby that's the refrain which is repeated being shouted at the police officer it's for the states to prove you are in that case with that baby is alive or not we don't know at the stage but i think that it to a large degree that totally misses the point of what this is really about this is not about publishing false it's for a start the crime of publishing also that the 3 have been have been charged with was struck down by the constitutional court of zimbabwe as unconstitutional it was declared void therefore it's not a law it is not a law in terms of been struck down but secondly these 3 individuals who are

critics of the regime. as politicians one as a journalist had been arrested multiple times if and and not about about. the previous time hopeful cino was a risk that he was arrested for curricular reporting on on corruption in the n.p.a. and the whole charge was based on the fact that since he critically reported what was happening in the n.p.a. as the prosecuting authority. correctly reported that a human must. have sources in the n.p.a. and if was interfering in the end. it really has nothing to do with with with fake news or anything like that that's really it is a red herring this is about cracking down on people speaking out against police brutality and corruption within the us and where a sheep. tendai i'm going to show our audience 2 tweets one is from 5 and every one

is from hopewell it's go to these 2 tweets i'm just wondering there are some parts of the world way tweeting out informational story or sharing a story that will get you put in prison. is zimbabwe one of those countries. but i think you i think that. the issue here is that zimbabwe has a fear. in it that action with civic rice concessional rights being sounds left right and center by the new regime headed by mr. defector the my taste at since november 27th. into the coup that removed president mugabe and. we have seen a massive it to t.v.

edition of the human rights in political situation you know we've seen a massive collection corrosion of civic and political rights we have seen it took him escalation tentative forces so on the attack or net and out east or new or pushing one of a job. and if i'd say my area. this is it unleashes its full might against the citizens who actually would put the substance of their tweets what they've been policed a violent act innocent unarmed woman and in a child the police themselves don't dispute that is a middle fictive in public to say the same the policemen are facing it is not the charges the issue of the with of the baby is alive or not is

a dispute over 4 fifth's is dark or tads is critical observed if you understood our language my mother language is sure that the people in that shouting wold am i know what i am what you feel did this baby you've killed this baby they're protesting in the it's an instant a noise it participation to to to the police. or a life so they could be making it up there it's an addict as is little. moon i shall very soon hear is. the regime that is a muscular or tenet. in france i will put him to job just send me examples of the continued to release in the united situation in iraq and. let me just bring brought back into the conversation i'm looking here at an edition of the zimbabwe mail and i'm going to take us beyond this this tragic story because it's

a very difficult story to get a head around but you see as an example so the zimbabwe zimbabwe is a constitutional democracy says the zanu p.f. this is the national spokesperson speaking out about this particular story and weiss 3 people quite high prominent critics of the zimbabwean government why they were detained so let me just go down here a spokesperson said that citizens who are suspected to have 20 crimes in zimbabwe a substance addicted to due process is that the law irrespective of one's political affiliation station in life so basically saying this is not looking at politics not the fact they criticize the government they just broke the law right but i'm wondering that if this has a chilling effect on people being out to use social media or to journalism or critique police brutality what does it say about zimbabwe right now. if you believe just. that piece of politicization of the

uses was yes it was $340.00 poems about who we. still enjoy or we were little too it was even stated in 16 is now in a row treaty or the treaty is it in a constitution so that you know exist if disagreed with there without pieces of legislation you know what to do. gentlemen and. so isn't what it is either to do that or doesn't exist does exist now means to appeal to mothers of which is no democracy. piece of loose this is was there any just. put something to you know 1610 do you notice about the challenge shifted a little and then as the getting high for example is in. the.

media. the. 2000. barrels meaning the worth of the bio mother doesn't. look as if it's. so. savor is not democracy it is about will there be you know people being muslim and despair of their. own of the truth of one of the 2010 others. and i wondering wondering about this one particular journey i need. that he's attracting a lot of attention so let's go back to july 2020 francis this is when he was held on indictment charteris. and then in november of last year he was charged with obstruction of justice and then in january of this year saying journalists was

held on communication for charts force his charges just and that was for sharing a school wheat duck is this. journalism where you can actually scoops communicate freely or not bright is a nut but isn't that there are plenty of janice in zimbabwe this one is just getting himself into trouble you represented him i know you're working on his various different cases will be yours to response to bright about china in particular. can i just take a moment to respond to bright on some false hoods that he has been communicating i want to also say that it's ok for him to be charged because it's because there's no law to charge him with but that there are always not 3 and i wanted i think this is very important to trace what the law that right is talking about was this something called the general law amendment act and what it did is it just made some tweaks to

the language in. a whole range of at scores of different acts all that it did is was replaced a couple of words and one of the things that was that was changed was. let's take you to the white house where u.s. president joe biden is about to sign a series of executive orders and then fail his response plans to tackle the pandemic that's listening to what he has to say the federal state local agencies that secured yesterday's inaugural activities and a special thanks to the members of the national guard from around the country it was an unprecedented situation hopefully never have to be renewed again and everyone can know what the most professionalism and duty and honor that you could be expected the president as president as commander in chief i always respect

revere their service and that of their families but now today's announcement from vice president and i were joined by members of our covert 19 team response team dr tony fouchier our chief medical advisor. for sarah hughes meet our nominee for secretary of health and human services dr rect murthy our nominee for surgeon general dr rochelle wilensky she's going to be the director for the centers for disease control prevention and dr marcella nunez smith who will be leaving our equity work covert response and jeff zines and natalie quillan who are managing this whole effort. yesterday yesterday during my inaugural address i offered a salient prayer and of silent prayer it was most salient and silent i thought it was important people understand what had happened that we all paid tribute to our prayers for those 400000 americans who have lost their lives in this pandemic on

tuesday july kamel and doug we stood at the reflecting pool in front of the lincoln memorial and joined americans all across the country to remember those 400000 moms and dads husbands and wives children sons daughters and i said at that moment that to heal we must remember to heal we must remember it's important to do that as a nation when we must also act not just remember yet for the past year we couldn't rely on the federal government to act with the urgency and focus and coordination we needed and we have seen the tragic cost of that failure 3 to $4000.00 deaths per day today more than $24000000.00 americans $24000000.00 americans have been infected to put that in context america makes up 4

percent of the world's population but 25 percent of the world's confirmed kovan $1000.00 cases and only 20 percent of all the covert 90 s. we have 4 percent of the world's population that pandemic lee we depend them excuse me has disproportionately impacted on blacks latinos and native americans who are about 4 times as likely to be hospitalized in the only 3 times more likely to die from the cove in $1000.00 pandemic than white americans hospitals are out of beds businesses are closed for good schools are caught in between and while the vaccine provides so much hope the rollout has been a dismal failure thus. far so i understand the despair and frustration of so many americans and how they're feeling i understand why many governors mayors county officials tribal leaders feel like they're left on their own without a clear national plan to get them through the crisis let me be very clear things

are going to continue to get worse before they get better the memorial we we held 2 nights ago will not be our last one unfortunately the death toll will likely top 500000 next month the cases will continue to mount. we didn't get into this mess overnight that's going to take months 1st to turn things around but let me be equally clear we will get through this we will defeat this pandemic and to a nation waiting for action let me be the clearest on this point help is on the way today today i am i believe in a national strategy on covert 19 and executive actions to beat this pandemic this plan reflects the ideas i set forward during the campaign and further refined over the past 3 months it consists of my transitions teams to task force 25 in the

team here today and other experts put this plan together our national strategy is comprehensive it's based on science not politics it's based on truth not denial and as details you can review this entire plan this entire plan by going to white house dot go it is so detailed it is over 100 as 198 pages and says and. for complete detail what we're going to do our plan starts with minute aggressive safe and effective vaccination campaign to meet our goal of administering 100000000 shots in our 1st 100 days in office we're on day one this will be one of the greatest operational challenges our nation has ever undertaken and i'm committed to get it done and we're committed to get it done and i explained as i explained last week we'll move heaven and earth to get more people

vaccinated for free and create more places for them to get vaccinated to mobilize more medical teams to get shots in people's arms then you increase vaccine supply and get it out the door as fast as possible. yesterday we got started we directed the federal emergency management agency fema to start standing up the 1st federally supported community vaccination centers with the goal of standing up $100.00 senators within the next month the centers for disease control and prevention will launch the federal pharmacy program to make vaccines available to communities and their local pharmacies beginning early within the by i think it by the 7th or 8th of february at a very early february also task the department of health and human services to prepare and expand the pool of medical professionals who can administer the vaccine

who can administer the vaccine and ensure we have enough vaccinators the people doing the vaccines to meet the nation's needs and quickly in addition to this effort are ministration will be asking congress to fund their for full for the funds to grow the public health workforce we also are going to take immediate steps to partner with governors mayors and other local officials who we've been talking to all along who are on the front lines of this fight we direct we were directed famous to establish a code response liaison for each state which means every state will have a point person at the federal level to maximize cooperation between the federal government and the states and word fall short to be made known about it made me known immediately this is a model we used to respond to her kids hurricane sandy which i was deeply involved with and in just a few moments i'm going to sign

a declaration to immediately began to reimburse the states 100 percent for the use of their national guards to help covert relief efforts something democrats and republican governors alike have called for. but the brutal truth is it's going to take months before we can get the majority of americans vaccinated so while we increase vaccinations we're going to take steps necessary now to slow the spread of disease as well one of our 108 challenges is asking the american people to mask up for the 1st 100 days the next 99 days the mass could become a partisan issue unfortunately but it's a patriotic act for a few months to wear a mask no vaccines the fact is that the single best thing we can do the more important of the vaccines because they take time to work and if we do this is

americans the experts say by wearing a mask from now until april we'd save more than 50000 lives going forward 50000 lives so i'm asking every american to mask of for the next 100 days yesterday i signed an executive action that requires mask and social distancing on federal property today will be sign of executive action to extend masking requirements on interstate travel like on trains planes and busses and in light of the new covert variants that were you're learning about we are it where we are and we're instituting now a new measure for individuals flying into the united states from other countries and issue to worry mass everyone flying to the united states from another country will need to test before they get on that plane before they depart and corn teen

when they arrive in america. our national plan launches a full scale war time effort to address the supply shortages by ramping up production and protective equipment syringes nails you name it when i say war time people kind of look at me like more time well as i said last night 400000 america that died that's more than have died in all of war old war to. 400000 and this is a war time undertaking today i'm signing an executive action to use the defense production act and all other available authorities to direct all federal agencies and private industry to accelerate the making of everything is needs to protect test vaccinate and take care of our people well that we've already identified suppliers and we're working with them on the move a plan forward a look our strategy includes

a plan to safely reopen schools and businesses while protecting our workers today were directed in the part of education and the department of health and human services to immediately provide schools and communities with clear guidance and resources to safely reopen the schools and childcare centers were put in and by the way when you do that think of all the people who get back to work be able to get back to where all the mothers and single fathers are staying home taking care of their children we're going to put the full force of the federal government behind expanding tested by launching a covert 19 pandemic testing board this effort will ensure that we get tested to where it is needed and where is needed most help in schools and businesses reopen safely and protecting the most vulnerable like those who live on long terror long term care facilities. and for the millions of workers many of whom are people of

color immigrants and low wage workers who continue to put their lives on the line to keep this country going through the pandemic i'm calling for the enforcement or more stringent worker safety standards so that you are better protected from this virus while you have to continue to work to protect the us our plan also protects those most at risk and works for everyone of all races and urban and rural communities alike today i'm formalizes the health equity task force that we announced in the transition led by the brilliant dr marcella newness smith who ensures that is going to ensure that equality is at the core of every decision we make that includes addressing vaccine hesitancy and building trust in communities as well as fighting disapprobation campaigns that are already under way above all our plan is to restore public trust.
