ah endless rounds have got to fly right now to the streets with last. they want to see the judge. judge carry fits. although not the denies we investigated judge with shit about the last few solution. i haven't gone away. hello, i'm richard. kiss burton. you're at the listening post where we dig into the coverage and look at how news is reported. here are the media stories we're examining this week. accountability proves elusive in lebanon, and many of the journalists covering the country are not healthy. if you're the

russian government and you're tired of complaining about news coverage, you don't like. there are plenty of ordinary citizens who can do that for you. the death of former u. s. secretary of state colin powell, the coverage, the obituaries have been to kind and another country gets another news channel one . and i'll see you talking about a quick glimpse of why british viewers are tuning out rather than tuning into g b news. 14 months after large parts of beirut were leveled in a cataclysmic double explosion that went off in the cities, port the investigation into what happened that day. and why has turned ugly. the judge in charge of that investigation talked to tar, has made some enemies, powerful ones in the political establishment. but taras, pursuit of justice and accountability, his interrogations of top government and security officials, have turned him into the target of

a smear campaign in the media and online. on our were 14th tensions over, but tars investigation spilled into the streets. what started as a demonstration, calling for the judge's removal, ended in a shoot out scenes, reminiscent of lebanon civil war. the narratives on what happened at that demonstration are conflicting, and of only added to a polarized and often toxic media debate in lebanon. at a time when its people are suffering and the state is often unable to meet their most basic needs, our starting point this week is favorite. oh my god. it's been just over a year since parts of downtown bay roof were obliterated. close to 3000 tons of ammonium nitrate stored in the cities port and left there for years. a ticket of time bow that despite all the warnings eventually went on hundreds of

bay. rudy's paid with their lives thousands more with their horns and the injuries they suffered. it was one of the biggest non nuclear explosions in history, and the reverberations, including some of the media coverage of the investigation, and the man leading it to have been revealed. there are clear signs that some powerful people don't like judge tara, but tar and his idea of justice. this is both again, that when you look, for example, at the newspaper, but it didn't a front page headline saying fear god, be thought and leave. what is that, if it's not the best act, what is it? this is not journalism. this is a new levin even for lebanon, and it should not be okay. and as attached as i am to the principle of freedom of speech, there are limits. starting with the principle of do no harm and this is simply hate speech therapy method is judicial investigator who promised to reveal the truth.

but the political class in general and hezbollah in particular, are trying to silence this investigation using a variety of tools, including media at the thief on half the what they did then he was a look the had the attacker cost would be how much was thawed with it could be bad, may occur on my side, it has will not employs during the live activists and social media who answers to right against judge baton and accused him of being politicized, saying he will reveal fake information and not provide a true and objective report. so as a consequence, the investigation has now become a polarizing issue, and the where one stands is really dependent on their political affiliation. and then the absence of concrete evidence of what happened on august 4. conspiracy theories now reigned supreme the ever since 15 years of civil war ended

in 1990 and the rival malicious transformed into political parties. lebanon's power structure has been carved up amongst the president, is always a christian, the prime minister, a sunni muslim the speaker of parliament, a. she's the highest offices of institutions like the central bank and the courts are apportioned along the same lines. judge baton has interrogated or issued arrest warners against officials from across the political spectrum and has been getting blow back from all corners. not the most aggressive and impactful counter messaging that's come from has both the iranian back that she a party has the tools, digital know how and social media following to make the judges life difficult. so how does this happen? it's easy. they get paid the way with

a public speech to help people think someone should be eliminated. because they pause a threat because they are a traitor. behind all the holly had a hammer list and sabby almost the se, se, se, lab abeline daily. then that repeated my influences on social media using hashtags like baton, is playing with fire. baton is a pull it decide the judge in order to destroy his image. anyway, it's characteristics nation. we see this play out on a 3 different levels. it could be just an activist who supports political party in journalists with a column at main street media outlets. and then there is a more serious and dangerous tools used by various political parties nowadays, which is the digital army. we've seen hashtags again, judge baton funding very quickly on twitter and what looks like

a coordinated campaign by electronic our needs for the most part of these hashtags are used by accounts with either very small followings or exceeding the large followings anonymous accounts that appears sudden need to engage in these campaign, and this is an indication that there is an intention and coordination support and enter the investigation and all those who would like to see it come to fruition. they can definitely continue and definitely not the work of emphasis. this is the judge who is trying to do his job. he is supposed to be completely independent and no one has that to question what she is doing. and he absolutely should not become either the sweetheart or the enemy of didn't it only add to his vulnerability because in a country as divisive as lebanon, someone who is the fact or someone else's. and in that campaign culminated a week and a half ago on october 14th with

a protest that turned deadly supporters of hezbollah and the amal movement, demanding the removal of judge guitar headed for bay roots talis of justice when they were allegedly targeted by snipers from the saudi backed christian park, the lebanese forces not to be confused with the lebanese armed forces, who were also on the seat. what happened next is as clear as mud and was made muddier by the various accounts available on law. there are 3 theories, are conspiracies on what happened at that day in the unit. the 1st one is that the lebanese forces had snipers positions on residential buildings. and we're taking aim on has the line and will supporters as they were marching for the palace of justice. the 2nd one is that the lebanese armed forces fired 1st at these marchers or protesters and then they returned fire. and the last one is that the has bella

and i'm a supporters were the ones who attacked 1st entering, sensitive neighborhood and that a residence defendant themselves all 3 versions of the story. then some elements of the truth. but the full story remains incomplete. getting some of the players to defend their journalism on this story is a challenge. we tried the newspaper, alex bar through its editor in chief ibrahim alameda. we contacted alman our television as well as correspondent alley, more tata, of our nadine and former m. p. and newspaper editor nasser candy, all either declined to be interviewed or failed to respond. the harassment and intimidation aimed at judge guitar is also being directed at outspoken lebanese journalists. and there are some history to consider to be wary. look, man, sleep was a journalist and filmmaker, a prominent critic of his baba,

who said he was getting death threats over his work. earlier this year, when slim was found dead after taking 4 bullets to the head, the hezbollah leaders, son, joe wildness that i like tweeted the loss of some people is in fact an unexpected game hash tag no regrets. his bhalla has since denied it, had anything to do with the flames. murder, a case that liked the giant explosions that left much of a root looking like a war zone remains unsolved. before the assassination of man asleep has been lost. supporters who's to intimidate him, a lot of social media. he have posters, blasters on his door, telling him to stop at taking his will. he speech is used to will the public opinion that just devised the assassination? because they make people think this person is worthless, violence, the moral and should be executed. actually that's how his belie works. and then the

j. c, the most speech engendered in the country, even the most good agent amongst, during the day at night, they go to their houses and they have to face the video that they are being threatened by publishing, by a group that has a long history of that fascination this is really very serious and it has the whole conversation in lebanon, and it's very to present of how the whole country is taken hostage. everyone is taken hospice. colin powell, who rows through the ranks of the american military right to the very top before being appointed us secretary of state died earlier this week. he was 84 years old. joanna, who has been going through the coverage of his passing his career. the obituaries. joe powers was always going to be a complicated story to tell. it wasn't absolutely and much of the coverage focused on power as a trailblazer. the 1st black american to be named and the chairman of the joint

chiefs of staff, the 1st black men to be secretary of state in the nation, paying its respects to colin powell, who spent a lifetime breaking barriers, somebody who would broke racial glass ceilings and who was a towering figure. however, powell is and should be remembered for what he said at the un security council in early 2003. when he parroted some of the bush administration's motion. a tory lies the justification for the war in iraq that were the alleged weapons of mass destruction. saddam who signed fictional links to al qaeda and paul even brought a vial 2 to security council, which contained what he said was an iraq. he made and tracks which is a biological weapon. now the bush administration was always going to invade iraq with or without policy help. but what he did was he took those lives and presented them to the world through the un. no power later describe that speech as a blot on his record and not some block. but if you dig into that record,

it's not the only one. know there is, for example, vietnam, the, me like massacre in which american soldiers killed hundreds of yet to me, civilians including children. now paul, himself wasn't present at the event that he was involved in the subsequent investigation and the cover up in the end. it took american journalists to expose what really happened. they're not colin powell. so that's what he really should be remembered for me like iraq, but many news organizations, not just in america, are glorifying his memories. said it's important to note though that those obits, most of them, they mention iraq, but the shortcomings width those obits with the journalism as it so often is, is in the emphasis was that the emphasis but also tongue. and there were a lot of critics online who pointed that out, for example, a professor at the university of london la la lily, who tweeted, colon powers justification of the iraq war in 2000. and 3 was only one of the more

recent times he lubricated. the machinery of imperial warfare and someone else on twitter said that people are out here wishing a man to rest in peace, he deprived thousands of other people from is just unfathomable. and the american left leaning magazine jacobin titled his obituary this way, colon power, politely anguished, war criminal dead at 84. as we reported last week, the awarding of a 2021 nobel peace prize to moscow based journalist. dimitri more tough was a clarion call on the challenges the 4th estate faces in russia. the authorities there have been gradually, systematically clamping down on journalism targeting outlets critical of the kremlin or that have revealed graft and wrong doing on the part of the rational eat . the very same day as the nobel announcement was made. another 13 journalist and media outlets were classified by the russian government as foreign agents. that's a classification that makes practicing journalism. they're difficult if not

impossible, and it's far easier for the authorities to justify that kind of crack down when they can argue that the initiative didn't come from them. that it came from a citizen, for instance. that's where so called patriotic activists come in. ordinary russians working for kremlin friendly organizations who make official complaints about journalists that start legal proceedings. the government is happy to pursue you and enforce the listening posts topic now for now on efforts to criminalize critical news outlets in russia and the patriotic activists who are doing their part, o. d u b, land design, desirable. it literally means different land and then in your family can and from brian,

does that mean or media completely split into 21 green carries it's workout, honestly and in good faith. i mean, i've run out for the other games and tries to come in a country for a client. the client is well known, the usa department in the ca, lucy was coming in with the speed with, which is unfortunately, it was like someone high up simply said enough. someone who was done with independent journalists in russia. he just woke up one spring morning in 2021 and decided let's just put an end to this finish will show up in chest. ah. since then it's been open season on john leff, dozens of news organizations and reporters have been blacklisted. classified as

foreign agents, undesirable or both. nobody nice for 1000. what spurred you authorities to act? it could have been the botched poisoning, but like thing abounding now imprisoned, his opposition movement outlawed, for which the kremlin faced few. consequently, perhaps the authorities were triggered by what the full in neighbouring bellow roof, where the government with hunting john left down. or was it the larger context? the theory, the investigative bombshells that have exposed russian officials revealing rampant corruption of vladimir putin in a circle and beyond. we tried to touch the most doubled the most. under reported topics. we did a series of articles on the secret families of russian top rank officials.

first was mister putin, there was a story on his secret wife and his previously unknown daughter. we established that they had really enormous wealth. the story. it was like a big bump and russia. so we don't know for sure what was the immediate story, which made them angry, but i guess all of them in july, product and non profit registered in the u. f was labeled an undesirable organization. rahman badani who was also labeled a foreign agent, learnt of of new status on holiday with his family and made a decision not to return to russia. one of the more curious aspects of the case brought against products and other media organizations. if the role played by pro kremlin activists like vitale but i didn't bother the new, the former employee of russia's interior ministry. who once could vladimir putin

have political idol? he's active on instagram way, shows photos of himself rubbing shoulders with rushes. elite breton made the complaint, the kick started proceedings against private in it. he cited verbatim an article from statement broadcaster r t, which alleged project had received foreign funding a little. we saw the investigation on r t. we saw the trauma, but daniel does not hide his links with a u. s. and decided to consult the prosecutor's office to check project funding and list these journalists as foreign agents. these people who are trying to create a so called revolution in this country are completing an order from the american intel services. and they aren't hiding the fact. they say what they're doing. last year, i think from the close relationship between the director, rush and foreign intelligence service again and and building their property,

develop a lot, nathan, much of fine monster seemed bumping. the businessman taking a swim in his personal pull. but i didn't says that investigation crossed a line from where it's going to story about the head before an intelligence are almost the same as terrorists. show me one country where people are deliberately running around filming heads of state filling the intelligence chief. but then it is lucky that are authorities for special services. let him and journalists like him leave in peace, the russian authorities, they need to have a full who make the complaint that we are breaking the law. these guy was mr. but ideally, in our case, he does something for the russian authorities. and he received some benefits from that. some money with angela and

i run into the nation which represents the interest of the community of citizens. what does it mean that for some kinds of snitches for the kremlin who calls me that position? media, why doesn't army give me that the trunk men, they are just frontman, put forward to create the illusion that there is a big group of actively fighting for freedom of information and information sovereignty only. great, i'm not sure the scheme has worked. and if you meet them, you realize that these people want one thing power. and they use these strange methods of complaining about independent media to get power for them. so that was me. lydia, you're part of the mosque base correspondence for medusa, whose headquarters are in latvia, and the consequences of being a foreign agent seen, designed to slowly kill off the business model that allowed medusa to become russia

most popular independent media outlets. medusa sold advertising to funders. journalism, including to stay turned company through bolted after it was lifted as a foreign agent. the outlet last more than 95 percent of of advertisers in a week. foreign agents are required to post this warning along fight whatever they publish. this also needs to be included on personal posts on social media. the label foreign agent, not only to turn advertisements, but also exhaustive and contributing. however, it doesn't appear to have put off medusa. as audience. donations from a 100000 readers have kept the outlet afloat for now. this is english lesson did the, i'd say our audience even got slightly bigger because everyone was suddenly interested in who this russian fought an agent twice. this repression made people have

compassion for us. and we had a successful crowd funding campaign. if this whole story of enemies of the people, foreign agents, and undesirable organizations had been put in motion 5 years ago. when people still trusted the government, it would have had an effect. but now i think it's very limited. unfortunately, shalise leads russian youth consumers with the choice journalism produced by what the kremlin fees with loyal patriot or that produced by trade. the foreign agent law 1st adopted in 2012 and expanded federal type thing is being used against almost anyone or money for abroad and both a political opinion. ah, but many of the critically minded new found now emerged off the previous government to control tv on the press. they know how to adopt to survive based on my experience based on soviet experience,

i believe that russian journalism can survive the future and survival of rational, independent investigative journalism is in potential collaboration. we're all on the attack, and the only way to survive this attack is to be altogether new. there is a lot of media outlets or surviving on the subscription model. and as far as i can tell, medusa isn't about to close despite the depression, enough subscribers. so i can only conclude that russians are prepared to pay for the news to keep informed, to get insight into what world looks like. as long as they have this wish, i think we will definitely survive. and finally, there's a relatively new player on the british broadcasting landscape g b news. just with the u. k. needs in

a country where most of the newspaper sold already lean to the political right. helping sell politicians like boris johnson and policies like breakfast to voters. now there's a 24 hour news channel that does the same. it's mission was described as being a counter voice to the walk warriors and the establishment media in britain. g b is launched in june, kind of, it was more like a blue up on the launch pad. it's early broadcasts were a technical disaster. advertisers fled the channel as did the journalist. it was building its brand around ex bbc hand. andrew neal. now that has up and running, giving british viewers a taste of the fox news formula. we've put together a few clips of what g b news looks like. so you have to, what's the next time here? the listening post showing me now is s a s b squadron veteran rusty firm, and welcome roughly to talking pines. ah, has not years. very good to have you here. i've learned

a very important lesson in the last few minutes, which is when you're doing research live during a program, just don't just type pearl harbor. if you're freedom means i might catch corvette from you, then so be it. if my freedom means you might catch covert from me than so be it for the sake of freedom. yours and mine together, i will cheerfully risk catching coolard bars. johnson's not a bad role model, actually because we know that he's a bond viva. he likes to drink, he likes a bite to eat these highly libidinous amount of appetites basically and getting it concerns about islam and many of the cultural practices in communities tonight or media watch special. we ask companies boycotting g v, news for peddling hate? are you talking about news

news, news, news, a showcase of the best documentary films from across the network on 0 to 0. the. ready news. hello, i'm sorry, i'm nemiah's iananda now main stories this hour now and at least for taliban fighters have been killed in multiple attacks and i'm going to stones eastern province of non gar, where the i s k p group and known to be very active separately. there were 2 roadside bombs which killed at least 2 people, including a child official say the bombs were targeting a taliban vehicle, but no taliban members were harmed and no claims or responsibility. but i've been
