5:34 pm
and audiences all need to do better on the story that could mean the end of us. ethiopia enters a state of emergency and the government's controlling of journalism, there has turned aggressive violence against muslims filmed by the perpetrators, the latest ugly trend among india's hindu vigilantes. plus the chance roaring in downtown k o al jazeera turns $25.00. we looked back at a quarter century of a different kind of news coverage. we begin with the biggest story on the planet, which is about the planet and climate change. a topic that somehow still doesn't get the news coverage it deserves. there are plenty of news cameras at the cop $26.00 climate conference taking place right now in scotland. our focus is on the coverage at other times when world leaders aren't gathering. among the issues, the privileging of perspectives and interests of wealthy nations and big business
5:35 pm
over those of poorer countries on the front lines of climate breakdown. news organizations, many of which remain dependent on the money that big oil advertising provides. and some of which, like rupert murdoch's platforms in the u. s. and australia are resistant to the story. fossil fuel companies, masters of the art of quiet persuasion. now using platforms like instagram and tick tock to sell their green washed, such as to younger audiences. and the audiences themselves, how is it that the prospect of our imminent destruction is not the ultimate in news click bait. our starting point this week is glasgow. leaders gathering it's got the time to tackle this live in a way i can to control global warming for journalists in search of an assignment that matters. the comp 26 climate conference in scotland provides one. they're covering the story of our collapsing ability to sustain life. that be paid the last
5:36 pm
tape this that is graphic climate change for such a slow moving story. it's taken the journalism a long time to catch up, to find the right story, telling formula to all from the reporting still struggles to see beyond the science . to get at the bigger picture, how the topic they are covering connects to every aspect of our life. it's not a science story at all. it's a story about college and it's a story about how power is distributed, how governments decide what their interests are. and if you tell his story as a story of people, you will have readers and viewers because everyone wants to know what powerful people are doing and how it extends. and you can tell that story every single day when you're talking about the climate. chris, if you just trying to treat it like another news item, oh, and by the way,
5:37 pm
the, the planets rapidly sliding into the dustbin, then we're not going to reach people in the way that we need. and this is fundamentally an issue of injustice. this so important the voices from the global self, her presence in being given faith. because we are the ones who are experiencing the climate crisis. we need far more, really hammering home the message that it the, the rich nations who are overwhelmingly causing this problem. but it's people who bear almost no responsibility for it. the poorest people on earth who are being hit 1st and worst by it as compelling as that narrative should be the climate change story is up against it. part of that has to do with resources and the principles involved. fossil fuel companies have more money to shape news coverage than media outlets have to provide
5:38 pm
it. or then activists have to contest it. and their corporate propaganda has changed with the times in the panto, and they weren't given her to denials of the science have been replaced by softer, subtler forms of disinformation through messages spread by influencers on platforms like instagram and tick tock. the oil and gas companies are obviously no longer denying that the climate crisis is real. to do that at this point, would be utterly absurd. so now what they've done, they've rebranded themselves to become an integrated energy company. scaling up renewables is a major focus. they're painting themselves as trustworthy partners in the clean energy transition. over the last decade, chevron has spent over $1000000.00 on carbon cab your projects, who are committed to that 0. and you are leading the research into new technology,
5:39 pm
and that will help us solve the climate crisis to provide the energy solutions and advanced modern life. now neither of these claims are true. they pay instagram influences, they pay for content on take talk and many other platforms and often in ways which are really subtle and insidious. yes, it's a reality that we need to drive to experience many of jason's a thanks to shell. there's a way to both explore nature and to reduce the carbon footprint. epicene is all about aspiration. it's all about, you know, you can lead a good life and we can help you to lead that good life. and hey, look at this fantastic car. you can have the oil industry cost a huge amount of money, and it's also kind of bills in the romance of travel. we're also coming out to pandemic. so a lot of us missed travel. we want to travel mold, and the oil industry has been very good at kind of using marketing and using fluid
5:40 pm
says to tap into our design to get on the road essentially. and an constantly trying to persuade us that they're on our site, that they're helping us to, to lead a better life. whereas in actual fact, they are pushing us towards oblivion. nancy when the fossil fuel lobby relies on news organizations, some of which remains supportive of the industry, many of which have simply grown, dependent on it. because no matter what the natural disaster is, hurricanes, tornadoes, acne, whatever climate change did it, are you getting the supporters like the outlets. rupert murdoch owns in the us and australia fight the consensus on what changes. societies must make how quickly it must make from the dependence include legacy outlets like the washington post and the new york times newspapers that produce quality journalism on climate change
5:41 pm
while pocketing significant ad revenues from oil companies. this network al jazeera benefits from guitars, gas, and oil reserves, and even relative newcomers to american journalism, political axis and punch bowl news all have their political newsletters, sponsored by big oil in the united states last week, they called the ceo, and the heads of the field trained groups to testify before congress and the chairwoman asked, do you believe that it was ethical for exxon to run a new york times advertisement that down played, downplayed the risk. is it ethical to spread these lies when they all know full well that climate change? israel and the science is not answer, and there was one study that showed that there were 5 times as many fossil fuel ads on cnn as there was climate code 5 vehicles,
5:42 pm
strong death. if you look at the murdoch empire and fox news folks here focusing on president biden after a transatlantic flight seemed to close his eyes for a few minutes during one of the speeches. all claiming the situation on twitter earth is so dire. president bind reacting by, appearing to take a nap during a climate speech crescent. tom sworn such shows that by doing is really serious, that climate and he really knows his hoax. i mean, what he say about that, what it means to be a journalist and put out that kind of crap ah, for a story as existentially critical as climate change, audience interest has been oddly lacking and for too long that is change surveys and country after country indicate news consumers say they want more on climate change. and reader engagement is trending up. platforms like bloomberg the financial times and gives moto, are all responding with new,
5:43 pm
specialized content. but check out the top 10 most popular story list on the b, b, c, the washington post or the guardian on any given day this week. other topics like politics, crime, even celebrities proved more popular with readers than a climate story that could change everything. we've been very well trained over the years to respond to trivia so much political journalism is basically just who's in, who's out like a soap opera. so we expect the news to be a soap opera, june into any station on a day of climate disaster and listen to what people are talking about. and it is the most ineffable trivia. the whole world is going to hell in the hancock and say, wait a minute shortly, back should be the central to he trusted needs a fairly low. i do think the solution lies possibly in rethinking what news is full, who it's by on climate journalism holds popsicle key to this. there's a way to me to do a generation and chris group of society that feel very much that uses the really,
5:44 pm
it's nothing to do with them. and if anything, it's all styled to that values. i'm to say no, this is a story which affects everybody. the audience for climate stores is definitely increasing because so many more people are being affected by climate catastrophes. we have to reach people who are not necessarily affected directly by her. his floods and wildfires for to explain how all of us are going to be affected. if parts of the world are no longer livable, people need to understand that they're being manipulated by large corporations who have a self interest which is contrary to the self interest of all of us as members of the human race. exactly a year after war broke out in the northern te gray region of ethiopia, prime minister ob eoc. net has declared
5:45 pm
a 6 month state of emergency flow. phillips is on this flow. why the state of emergency and why? now, if your pin cabinet made the decoration after that take away people's liberation from the t p, i left gain some strategic ground and threatened to close in on the capital, addis ababa? the government's messaging has relied on the state affiliated outlets like fun. the t b, y, one security official, urged ethiopians to arm themselves. well, it's not a good list. watch, but not touch on my side. i got my sat on the prime minister's office, also treated a call for all capable ethiopians who are of age to join the defense forces, special forces and militias, and i'll be all met himself. use facebook to all citizens, to quote barry, the terrorists t p l s. now that post distance be moved by the platform for inciting violence from the outset of the fighting. we are, the government has had issues with the news coverage. so what kind of report and conditions are journalists working under now?
5:46 pm
various blackouts and bands continue to make it very difficult to get the stories out. but the committee to protect journalists has documented the arrests of several reporters accused of having linked with the t l. f. now those charges tend to be vague. to journalists at the privately owned a hall, do radio and television have been under arrest since last month after airing an interview with a t p. i left official who was contesting the government's narrative around territory. and what are the authorities doing about the international coverage of this story? recently, the main broadcast regulator ordered ethiopian channels to stop transmitting content from foreign media around that. so how do radio and tv which is affiliated with voice america can no longer at any of the always international coverage and of b o. a put out a statement saying that the order restricts the free flow of information to the citizens and it undermines press freedom. and it sends a chilling message to all journalists in the country. and not just john,
5:47 pm
this richard, this is a chilling message to all any c o p. okay, thanks. our next report comes with a viewer warning. some of the images are disturbing, which is why we're doing the peace. india, whose population includes around 200000000 muslims, is seeing more and more videos posted on line of violence against muslims in more than a dozen incidents this year alone mobs of met calling themselves protectors of the hindu face. have targeted st. fenders, rickshaw drivers, even children, those videos of the violence they meet out and film often get millions of views ever since prime minister in orange promoting and the b j. p came to power back in 2014 attacks against muslim indians and other minority groups have been on the rise . and if you think that committing a violent crime on camera must mean jail time for the perpetrator. think again, the listening posts mean obviously robbie now on the wave of anti muslim viral
5:48 pm
violence in india and the journalists out to expose it. ah, i spent the last few years. why be seeing so many videos of my interviews within the way in india? the videos are filmed by your videos, and they can watch that check primarily by ordering their light delincia scott that used to be produced and distributed in america. picture the black people being beaten, humiliated, and even kid died. all those postcards was normalized violent minorities and to make sure that those minorities know they could be attacked with impunity. anytime the video, i'm guessing in india, muslims is doing the same job has told me the video that in india, especially in this year have been servicing with regularity. that is shocking. in

soon. it's now become a pact on or you see or video with disturb you night after night. you're all. so you're only living to eat all of it, where the politic feel is defined by this kind of dr. when ism of the section of indian society when the beat minority, you have this premeditated act 1st performing the violence, recording the violence, and then broadcasting the violence. that video is then posted on social media as sort of to garner community to garner likes, but also to call to violence. the extremists responsible for these attacks are part of the broader hinder or hindu nationalist movement, which has grown in prominence since prime minister, not in the movies, part of the agenda up id. the bgp came to power in 2014. the activists claim to be protecting what they call the hindu, rushed to the hindu nation in which muslims,

b yet reminded officials for anti muslim statements. but its leaders have been conspicuously quiet about this years. spirit of anti muslim violence when they have got involved. in some cases it's been to blame the victim. like the bangle cellar, the slim ali, once the video went white and there was a lot of outrage and a very strong public bush. but it's the aggressors. however, the next day look it up by the college game on camera guilty. but we go, apple scramble, bargaining mother wall, read the large rocker belyea to bug her badge. i'm sure i could come got up and he made some raising his allegations against us me money. you said that does mean what he was pausing as a handle. and he had a vague, his identification papers suggesting already semester approach on your programming . for quality of a lot of beauty. police have at times been bystanders to violence and failed to
5:55 pm
take action. and at other times, police have actually turned on the person who is victimized, but reciprocally. if you look at the kush, mary muslim, who posts a video of how they are being brutalized. state action has been taken against them . so that people who are perpetrators are going free, they are being encouraged to perpetrate people who are victims who are coming forward seeking justice are being further victimized. oh, the flea, my lease. keith is a prime example of that. the men who attacked him out on bill while he is in jail charged with molesting the daughter of one of his aggressors. a complaint that was only lodged after his assault. his trial could be months if not years or we are kept your trucks, nana butler. okay, that was got one. so over the past few years in the news outlets have been ramping up is lama phobic, invective manufacturing total cases of hubs,
