light on detail about how the government actually plans to counter the territorial gains by the taliban. connie broadly spoke about having full confidence in local forces. as international troops continue to withdraw the current of our news, and thailand's reported a record number of infections for the 3rd day in a row. it registered molten 16000 new cases in 24 hours tied to restrictions were imposed last week in the capital, bangkok and other regions. in japan's newly reported current virus infections have risen to another record high. this time, more than 800-3200 of those cases are in the olympic host city took here and us and pick gymnastics champions. my boss is drawn from a 2nd. limbic competition to focus on mental health. she withdrew from choose his team final. after one vault, and it's now ruled herself out of those days individual, all around events as well for today. thanks for your company. the stream is next. from talk to al jazeera, we roam,

have a look. have a mobile phone is literally an extension of our life these days and come to think of somebody sitting in a fight line has access to your private or to your private emails and your financial transactions. not only that and to kick off a button, they could actually see what you're doing in your bedroom. so it's really unsettled me and it was disconcerting not only as a journalist, but as a woman. i think my privacy has been violated whether you're on twitter or you're watching on youtube. you can be part of this conversation as well. is india war with a journalist? if you want to comment section, wait ca be part of today's discussion next. mean, i guess we have offer, we have may have, we have rada, nice to see, do all 3 journalists talking about the experience of journalism in india, office. first of all, introduce yourself to international, or if you are what you do. hi, my name is linda. she had bonnie,

i work at the senior editor with the news site called the why adult in ica. lar takes policy and issues of social justice. i have been a journalist for the last 2 decades and i've been using the life of the marginalized communities. but in the last 2 decades, i think the 70, i would say, have been very different for me out of these 2 decades. welcome more about that in just a moment. welcome to the strain, please introduce yourself. tie international audience. hi, my name is me. i'm an independent journalist, raised in delhi, another fulton politic social justice agenda and south asia. get to have you. run out, welcome to the stream. introduce yourself to our audience watching right now? my name is john, are you? i'm a global opinions writer with the washington post, and i am jonas with club jack. i do, but i report and politics, criminal investigation green under color, and one of the pink and journalism is

a challenge. and india and independence right now, as a backlash against the backlash paving from the majority regime it's, it's an unpopular job right now, but the right thing to do, i'm wondering, john is at what point that you were very, very aware that your work was be wanting to do you were being monitored or it's an actual pressure being put on you as journalists run it, you thought well, for me to do this government, everybody has been reacting in already surprised mine. and this should because we are assembling a surveillance team assembling. actually, we are a civilian beach right now, but here is a government, here is a cim prime. this generator movie on her home is from a shop who how during the 10 your group, and she'll minister and good shot you snooping? mcgann resumes on, not just journalists, but also civilians. so this does not come as a surprise,

but the fact that they have to woodley, and recently used almost every, every mechanic, every tool that is available with them to get been picked up in june. this will work, they do not appreciate unlike, i mean i am. somebody was used to this 2010 when i got the homeless rope in there who with not only stroke which was not on the trip in the artist did. i got a full time phase, 2 new thing looked like call up with you being followed around the details of your family members, being out in public intelligence officials coming down to your house and asking you about your bank accounts. all of this is happen. it's happening to me as i speak to you yesterday. i spent 12 hours at the income tax office in mom buying another big question. i was being asked about my affiliation with international organizations. why do i write but i'm not b, y, d o speak to the b b c. what is my for the?

this is piper court, it's not something we chose, but it is something that has been inflicted or not that the speak. now you can share with us some of the ways that you have made headlines or, or the way that surveillance is made headlines of u. n. g and journalists. now we see certainly cause break in attempt this, this is scary. ok. and then we move on to the next story and let me just show you here. this is when it becomes really serious. you will die. journeys may have the she's facing death threats and stalking. they how, how does this happen? what journalism will you doing? where your life is being put at risk. oh, thank you for giving me the chance to talk about this. i do want to say that something like i said that in the last 7 years it has me put a lot of independent jordan. and i do want to say, thought, make any government is fond of doing this, questioning them,

it's not like the government did not send us, even though the definition water change in the last 7 years. is that this jordan, this government actually implicates joining us in criminal cases, enjoy order related cases. and which is i, the punishment, the adage becomes all the more significant that they thought longer to actually change those in the course. and then i for one also have to be criminal cases against me. theater. you just do the pieces that would not be in, in prison for all 7 yards and they keep on all of them. so my report dodge to the particular report that i did was one of the major investigation that i did was i dug out documents and i go to menu and follow the how the funding maintenance right ring has been shot. picking, choosing between the issue will be $211.00 from india to job and job to

india for the purpose of indoctrination invalid to do with them. and that is something that got me criminal cases, a bottom that i've also didn't investigate to how to get in which and popular pollution 1000 popping up on the encounters. and how i found out that out of the so many speak we shoot out most men and people from our communities like like that, that is. and this is something that has that not only got me thought for my i believe, but also for myself, this the john, buddy, after 5 months of being stopped and said that somebody would say, some people deeply tracking my location and telling me how to go after that me and how. 7 i'm particularly pointing out, i'd be 40,

but i just mentioned somebody actually they could bake into my house. and i also want to say that i knew supposed been living in delhi, and i think in english, employee international or maybe even then it was difficult for me to get to the company. so the people who are doing it, i didn't have any luck with the machine. and the machinery actually took him to be kind of the kind of attack on john. that's something i'm, i would say again, like i said, i will both. and i live in the same kind of situation because all the more difficult for john, this wouldn't do lady wouldn't. what would also be thinking with the situation, but they have more often let me share this headline with you. i know you are very familiar with his headline, but i want you to see if you can on packet for our international audience to explain exactly what is going on to hear the stories that we are hearing all

stories of intimidation. here's the headline snoop list has full t indian john. it's forensic tests confirm. precedence of peck of pegasus spyware, on some, this is by where that is often brought allegedly by governments, in order to keep a check up of what it citizens are doing. usually via mobile phones, your organization was on this list. what is this telling us about? injury is government right now and how comfortable they are with publications journalists doing their work? yeah, definitely. as i said in, in the last 2 decades, these 7 years have been, i will say the most difficult years for me as a journalist and also as a citizen of india, where journalism itself has become a crime. you know, it has become so dangerous to be a political journalists sitting and working out of new daddy and reporting on that

in the government as a tool. my friends have all that there. how, you know, but being the indian in the media into obedience had already become kind of a project for no reason what the government, but even if by it's own standards, what's happening now, this whole snooping business. and also income tax reads on newspapers that i would say it kind of, you know, that's a scary, a new bar for journalist and in them. but remember, when you were talking about the snooping ping, the why it is also part of the consortium that conducted the investigation. and they will friends and family people who are coming. that one is going to be the next grade on your office and you and will you a couple of days ago i was at home, i was about to report my show and i bought a call from office, from one of my colleagues saying that there is a policeman asking for me, asking for my number and my address, it's a trial. he had a list of people he had missed with him, which had people like by former colleague and indian actress for sort of hot or

that is another person who documents you know, these widens against the minorities and me. and he did that. you wanted to talk to me, i'm sitting at home with my family about to go to report my show and i get this call from the man who says, this is nothing madam, this is just run up to independence day. you know, we are just doing the routine check and then we see the deputy police commissioner, he's tweets, he's applies to the wires that it the tweets. and he says, this is just a routine check. and this is part of the empty terrorism exercise. so imagine now policeman, walking into unusual for m b, m checks and then to before independence day. so, you know, the way the indian government is trying to project blood journalists who are asking questions of the government, was speaking to, to, to power, asked the enemy of the people as the enemy of the states. so you don't, i wouldn't be hesitant in saying that now

a large part of that section which support the ruling b, j. b and the artist says, and our prime minister, you know, a notch section i would say actually kind of don't dislike people. bid they dislike people like me who fill out the question because he has been to a position of some kind of maybe a board, but you can be on the question of him. so all 3 journalists sitting here, incidentally, all the men in a very patriarchal society, like in the we are the time. i think it also says a lot about the indian media also because already given up to do so, let me share with you some of the comments we're getting on youtube right now. this is sophia and for anyone that believes press freedom exists in india, just look at the number of journalists that murdered not to i have a case followed against them. another comment here from youtube right now. thank you. audience. if taking part in the show, journalists are getting arrested every time they say something or published fax. the problem with india is the b, j. p. government is becoming like

a dictatorship or so a terry and government let us go to that government. this is the 18th of july, this is the 18 minister pushing back on the allegations of surveillance. take a look in the mail regarding the you the record on what campus. so they both have boulevard. this is just gonna be denied by 115, including the president for property july 2021. also appear to be in our lives in democracy in 122 to june. as you can tell from the noise level that not everybody was in agreement run, what impact is this having on journalism? in india, from your perspective? so quickly, i mean i'm falling on the list of you know, potential i will go into that. this is the most bizarre thing offer,

so that was really vashon, who is the t minister, the i t minister was found on the list of people who have potentially pegasus spyware on that phone. that is bizarre. alright, let's move on. vindictive meant scientific vindictive government for him. he does not just keep a job on his enemies, but also keep the job allies and got the cloth. explain it. majority the the g, it's been dictate. majority regina that they are constantly so railing. people who are giving opinions about them, the gentleman who was just talking about about what's up and what's up seeing that does not come in. he said you evidence the seemed to move, giving him the into parliament. what's up the fact that the report about they get this new thing? it's something of damaging. i scared them. so i think it's just going to contradict what exactly the minutes just in the parliament. but like i said in the,

in the taking every book that exist, bought a car dated with jean and john list. hello. we've been the enemy of the state. i remember since the d i the governor of the time magazine that kind of host a lot of tools on to show media start talking about me receiving funding defense might want to just take us a little step back because not everybody would have seen this magazine cover so start at the beginning of the story, but make it a brief story, go ahead. right. and so during the 2nd wave of go with 19 the devastating 2nd we will go with 90. i work doing multiple reports for the washington portion for the time, not being gullow that the time has been covered. 2 days later, mister moody's lackey goes on, goes on television channels and calls me a why to john list with a pretty good with the c. i a and 3 days later i get a notice on the income tax. then my director said, my father gets

a notice my sister gets the notice. my brother gets a note from the income tax department. so all, and what did i do? i just want the cover story for di, max, the indic, regina. this is and i wanted to say the 2 ladies steeping india's covert 19 crises . so is it the critique of the government? the got you into trouble? it doesn't critique. you see what, what happens with danny parker and other publication paper these because these are the publications that would images of dead bodies floating on began juice. and then the, the income tax department to be was there's a so many or, or the case a legit case against the publication. it does the same. but john, listen for these journalists calls to be government has been, has been jesus for the lot, 7 months for just reporting on the gang greek open. lord, god, good. he also happens to be a muslim who are the,

what condemned in india. so you're, you're a woman, you're john, you must clim your anti movie. you're critical of movie, i mean that takes all the boxes and this is what we have to face on a daily basis. so big gas is just one more big model of what the government has not done to lead or possibly was playing all the flight with the us. it's not the 1st time that india has discovered by just being used to move on to the next 2 years ago. there was a doubling, expose the on how software is being used to monitor the activities of multiple journalists to be are the enemies of the state. unfortunately, we should not be living like this, but this is how it has now come about. net income will be, is coming across as a b when man a man will not be going to thing to this conference in 70 years. all up his regime in which he has been leading the country not doing with a more devastating good wave. i think has detained for journalists could not be

more clear, clear with the fact that i hear you. and i just guess just give me just a little slip of a moment here cuz i want to bring in the voice of repression because i want it's around the world may be thinking, well, what's the worst that can happen? your phones are being tapped, you're being monitored. this is ruth ashe telling the story. what happened when he was doing his journalism, it landed him in prison. taken up my me. in my reporting, i shall state oppression against the citizens of this country. that is widely central ip has put pressure on me to stop my reportage. when i didn't listen to them, i was put in jail under the unlawful activities prevention act. they could not file a chart sheet against me. so 6 months later, i was really highly talking bought were precious finishing of his comment that thank you, repressed,

appreciate you. i knew he wanted to pick up that, but i'm going to focus you in on what you choose. audience is also asking which is india is pretty low down on the press. freedom index. pretty low down, i think is 180 and and it is like a 142 or something has it says, what does india need to do to get a better higher press freedom in depth? how do conditions improve you offer ahead you know, whatever donna had said, i think i completely agree with both of them, but also to remember the tall and noblest this government is. and this shows the sign of desperation to when they are coming after this, one of the 2 largest selling newspapers in india, you know, the dennis pasco and site says that it has the readership of 66000000 reduce. can you imagine the size of their leadership? so what i was trying to say is it is like in the newspaper, in the heartland newspaper, which consists of not in the world bank. and this is no small side. this is no nation news channel in english speaking the channel. so if the government doesn't

even think that these large scale newspapers, the major newspapers are not even giving him and his back in government favorable coverage, which means the government is there anybody just put it and no, but now you're saying that what we really can do i think i would like to dick you a little back to what's this whole i do, you do is i do have been in india which now have been implemented. the wire in my organization is one of the leading lead practitioners in the court, and which says the government is actually, you know, making rules for journalists, which means you know, the government that i am reporting on, on their function. they are the ones who are making goods for me. so this is, this is hilarious and this is tragic. and you know, it gives the emergency fall was to even delete or pulled on any new items. no, i didn't. these i have been contested. not just by the, this is something called the alternate media or just the nice english speaking new media. but by almost all of these new channels,

which manufactured this whole image of the movie, the larger than life. you know, a leader who's been waiting for the last 7 decades. so i think what needs to be done is already being done. the journalist who, what client, the journalist, who were almost an extension of that the more the public relation machine to be even, they have realized that this is not good enough. they will have to protect their rights. i think this time for journalists respectable who they are, which language which obligation which medium the working to come together and see media freedom. and i want to squeeze in a ha, ha ha, i want to play this to you. effect is just give me a moment, hey, just so i can get in a hallway before the end of the show me how i'm, i'm looking at what maybe the action should be from the government. have a listen to this video comment and then briefly comment on the other side of it immediately. let's take a look. this is really concerning because we're going to right from the start to be

the federal government issue, a large number. and the reason for the falling on being often targeting genuine and media active. and even though she knew what she was of, and i think the biggest project revolution when i was clear, unity problem along the bottom. but a hi fi, a company is being used by government doctors to intruder on individuals in all our government offices, democracy in many others. and that's why we need to see action beyond what we need to actually responsibility from the federal government in india as well as any given back. i want to make sure that this will happen to know how go ahead. ne, ha. oh i to be. oh you, what is being said, i also want to add that this is not the government just created. just to give you

an example. the bare minimum reporting that is required is inviting criminal cases, particularly against independent journalists. because also, i just see the corporate political in mainstream, you know, as part of the goal setting measure the euros have shut down. the entire responsibility is on independence. turn this into more to the 4th. and once the keys are filed against them, it's fine for them. to go back it. having said that, i also want to say that this is also apart from the prime minister, not holding a press conference, a cabinet mr. b kissing was the person who coined not just coined but nominate the was calling for john. this would be in their job. so for instance, let me give you an example of followed by a jaundiced in mid double district of innovation and they had a brief maintenance a sentence. go ahead, go ahead. so i just wanted to say that this is that this,

this government is not holding is not interested in being in the thing that them off the seats. and the reason why the best we don't in india is limited and falling down is because i've been able to see i've been weakened by the got to regimen by here. i can tell from what you've been saying and what you've been sharing the even being on the show, put you in some jeopardy. i appreciate your commitment to john nathan and for appearing here on the stream. audience have a look here on my laptop. you can follow the journalism of offer of ne ha, an runner on twitter and, and there are various publications as well. thanks for watching. thank you. youtube, for your comments and questions. always appreciate them. i will see you next time. take everybody ah
