the authorities like it. you will not come into this building an insult, me, a shouting match between a journalist and the greek prime minister at issue the treatment of refugees at sea . back from the brain still on the air, the polish 24 hour news channel that remains in the governments crosshairs. and the summit that may prove to be our last chance to avoid climate arm, a get skiing, honest would mean admitting that we're failing. the internet comics who unlike our politicians, are telling the story, straightened africa, the 2nd most populous country, ethiopia is entering a 2nd year in a state of war. it is a conflict about power pitting prime minister. i'll be off mad and his allies on one side and the to grind people's liberation front, the t t l f on the other. according to the united nations, the risk of ethiopia descending into a widening civil war is only to real. there are reports of heretic abuses committed

by all parties. there is an accompanying information war that feeds off division and hate speech playing out online by blocking communications as well as access to the degree region. the government has helped create the kinds of conditions in which disinformation can thrive. platforms like facebook have made things worse by failing to get a grip on the proliferation of hate. and now international news outlets, especially those who reported on atrocities committed integral, i are feeling the heat over their coverage. it is a combustible mix in one of the most ethnically diverse countries on the continent . our starting point this week is to give me a complex story of conflict anyway, the atrocities committed by all sides, including a sustained assault on true the country of 150000000

people, more than 90 ethnic groups and 80 language where multiple news outlets and platforms cannot even agree on what to call the story they are covering. is it communal, fighting before ethnic cleansing, or the civilian casualties for the victims of war, crime, a story fueled by hate speech and misinformation that threatens to tear the country apart. the information or is everything to this complex because ethnic cleansing information because you have to convince people that the existence, this other ethnic group being somehow is an existential issue for that. so a time that we see ethnic cleansing, or we have seen conflicts, that they're the hallmarks of genocide, we're talking about competing narratives. and what we're seeing then is the modern day tools, facebook and twitter being used to perpetuate those competing narratives. the information conflicts and the physical conflict are feeding into each other,

but sometimes hates each end. disinformation are kind of reflecting the conflict on the ground and, and sometimes they're feeling i'm, and it's, it can be hard to know which is which now in dispute a news narrative. the dates back to this time last year and the height of the pandemic when the government in addis ababa postponed national elections and order that the local government into dry, ignored federal forces into guy were attacked by the t p. l. f. the to grind people's liberation front line, which called it a preemptive strike. the government in adis called it causal. some of the rhetoric has been scary, including from prime minister abi augment in the margin, but in touch, when are be used, similar language on facebook urging ethiopians to bury the t p l f. facebook deleted that post for inciting violence, but other posts just as in century,

are less likely to be taken down by social media platforms that are far better at policing content posted in english than ethiopian languages. the large i was told whether bundled on luca mandel was in a little german village. but the latter, like the like youtube, facebook, twitter telegram they talk on the social media platforms are come perfect here. content online that is calling for violence. that is calling for the examination of 2nd and 4th majority of the funding is coming up from the, from the dashboard. so sitting out of their home, see washington dc and london and stuff on is, are not people sitting out of ideas or you know, or mentally that are, you know, putting not just lose information and just information that we're seeing. just last week we saw accounts with massive platforms on facebook and on twitter posting things like the war is not with the invading different t dry. with the sy next to you who wants your death,

suggesting that the spies are everywhere, that enemies are everywhere. and there was another major media personality who made this bizarre chilling argument that to grind should be incarcerated on mass, like the americans did to the japanese during world war 2 dispersed. in particular, individual is a journalist on one of the 2 satellite t stations. so he sat, this is somebody that has thousands of followers and his content was shaped more than 6000 times. and the impact it has is that enough people not only shaded but also copy, paste it, and he's content and we've seen no reports that grant and i'd be tele, being rounded up for no good. jason, we're looking, you know, counselor to, to i in unknown locations for the end. of course, the response of the platform is it was also equally problematic, where they took their sweet time to take this content down. i got the information wor, playing out on social media, inevitably affects mainstream outlets. tens of thousands of protesters were on the

streets of addis ababa last weekend, complaining about the news coverage on cnn. bbc and al jazeera over what they called an anti government vice belinda say you press secretary to ethiopia as prime minister texted us on whatsapp saying most international media have chosen to go with the skewed narrative from the beginning, shaped by the t p. l. f's propaganda machinery. so you also sent us this screenshot of a c n n story from last week. the network reported to graham forces were closing in on the capital. when so you, me says they were still 400 kilometers away. it shows footage 1st scene in a report from 6 months ago. so you said the story caused hysteria and panic. but many of the attacks on international journalists go beyond questions of accuracy. they are targeted person and designed to stifle reporting of alleged war crimes by

government forces including mass killings and rapes. it's really important that when are requesting full shot, we are held to account that isn't what they says. identifying this is about making things so uncomfortable that we start reporting cnn, cnn, or cnn journalist. it's important. we are journalist in florida. they are now take the gacy and information against genesis. so todd, getting our credibility, targeting our story, telling they started showing clips of me personally on state television, inciting violence. and so i have had people kaufman's people genuinely have been incited to believe that i am my team and other janice. i intentionally dismantling these european state, but we are

a threat to the existence of ethiopian state. ah, the effect on journalism has been telling, chilling when we sent out interview requests for this story. we got responses like this one from a newspaper editor in atis. i would have liked to do the interview, but it is too dangerous for ethiopian journalists to talk. how things have changed? abi ock. matt came to power in 2018, made peace with eritrea and fried opposition, figures activists and reporters. the previous regime led by the t t l f had j prime in the following year. he was awarded the no doubt the tspra with each passing news development in ethiopia. the nobel committee's decision goes back under the microscope. as for the t p l f, the party and it's paramilitary forces, they should not be mistaken for innocence. either jacayla from he's not

a victim of this war is a perpetrator, or one of the pressure to sport. and she get used to be the one that used to discredit. jordan is the one that had arrested. all of the journalists in the country was the one that had kicked out all those shortly and weren't journalist in the country was the one that 1st shut down the internet. this m b m, they're very good at to put change themselves to be yeah, the, the defenders of freedom. ah, abby came to power and a wave of popular protests that were led to our youth movements by nationalist movements. primarily from that are mere region. e famously won the nobel peace prize for making you said eritrea that p steals. now being looked upon with more suspicion, given our trias involvement in the conflict. and that was where things began to fall apart when a lot of the,

the rhetoric around the law and order operation as, as abbe called, it integrate, was very racial and veering tools. hate speech. we were very slow to pick up on that because this was a nobel peace prize where the halo surrounding abbe protected him even when it was very clearly genocidal rhetoric. and i think we really have to ask ourselves what getting those kind of prizes bequeathed upon us. how it distorts our ability to except that actually yes, this person may have the ultimate weston stamp of approval, but he's falling short for his country for his people and for the continent ah on degrees now where a routine press conference turned into headline news after showdown, between

a journalist and a prime minister at the podium may not walk us through what happened in athens. it started with a question on refugees and migration from a dutch journalist in burg, bogo, who lives in greece and covers those issues. her question was directed at the greek prime minister, kodiak smith. douglas, when at last will you stop lying, lying about to push backs lying about what's happening with the refugees in greece, please don't insult mine and neither the intelligence of all the journalists in the world, i understand that in another once you have a culture of asking direct questions to politicians, which i very much respect. what i will not accept is that in this office you will insult me for the greek people. there was mister tucker suggesting that asking direct questions of politicians is somehow a foreign concept increase. things just got worse from there. have you visit that? the new camps on our islands. have you been to some us yet?

or no, you have not been to so much. i don't please you have not been. you have not been almost the greek island where a so called migrant reception center opened recently, boca was the 1st journalist to report from there. she describes it as a prison quote, a barren wasteland of parched scrub gray cement buildings, iron gates and barbed wire. we've also seen those reports on the illegal push back of migrate the towing of refugees and their boats back out to sea by the authorities. the greeks say they're investigating those allocations. what the prime minister have to say on that. not very much and neither did much of the mainstream media increase. now, many of them like the writing committee, me or put them on, are supportive of the government. a lot of their work on the story has delved into burgers, reporting her personal life. they call her a pro turkish agent. one newspaper put they might even slammed her for having quote, buckets, tiny servants who walk her dogs daily. quick journalists,

showing us where their loyalties lie. it looks like. yeah. ok, thanks me. tv and 20 for the most popular television news channel in poland is celebrating 20 years on the air. it was the 1st 24 hour news channel launched in the former soviet bloc. a privately owned, independent network. tv and $24.00 is not afraid to go after the polish government, which puts it on the opposite side of the fence as the state on broadcaster t v. p. shortly after the populist right when law and justice party, known by its polish acronym piece, returned to power in 2015, it conducted a brutal takeover of the public media. this year piece set its sites on tv and the network is owned by an american corporation discovery in theory that should keep it safe. given that the u. s. is a major ally of poland, but the appetite of peace and its leader, yet a suave kuchinski to control the polish media landscape,

seems to have few limits. but let me post flo phillips now on an anniversary, overshadowed by a fight for survival. ah said the valley, when we launched the 24 in august 2001, lots of people thought we would fail and we were working a building steel and the construction. or it felt a bit like a guerrilla warfare. that at the water had the capacity to come with that as monica or any of you know, political border vehicles, stock, new person. i was pretty pessimistic about tv in 24 in the beginning. would there be enough news in poland to report 2474. and were they enough people in poland interested in yours to walk you through too much with it? was a gamble, a big one, a 24 hour tv channel dedicated solely to news in a country used to getting its information from radio or the nightly bulletin on the

popular public broadcast t v p. services on a month into the following monday. and at 1st it wasn't clear if t v and $24.00 was gamble paid off. it made him broadcast on the 9th of august, didn't get a huge audience. but just 33 days later, this happened sort of outage for them to throw in. well, it is with us and it hasn't been jimmy ocean. you're delicate, you don't see a consequence if you got this other good. you're a huge tragedy. and at the same time, the most attractive television event in history to say was a godsend for t. v. in 24 is an understatement. doxygen q. then just days after $911.00, we had another big event. the networks 1st election lot. that's number 15. 30th at once, the station a covered both a major global terrorist attack and the biggest domestic political story. it was ready to handle anything government, which of eustace o t. v and 24. never looked back. 20 years on for many polls.

it's the go to place the news and commentary. i mean, you mention me of the needles. in large part it's leading viewing figures a because tedious. 24 doesn't shy away from telling it how it is. unlike the public broadcaster to the p, which is more of a mouthpiece for peace, the willing law and justice party t. the n 24 seldom pulls its punches. dating right back to pieces, bust in pounds, new dividend. our dobbs, they never got on in 2008. he's announced a boy caught of t v n, because it said the network was guy who was, it lasted about 6 months from pearson, we're going to press a boycott, was a result of the so called beggar tape. the long justice party was accused of political corruption when trying to restore majority in parliament to try and prove this. d v, an journalist asks an opposition, m. p,

renata beggar to secretly record her meetings with peace representatives. this is the mother levy and was able to show a belated example of political corruption and that army asleep didn't earn it any favors from peaks from their relations. got worse with every program. scott: every questions along with come 2015, keith returned power. high up on its agenda was a plan to change poland media landscape. party leda, yada swath kuchinski, borrowed a page from his hungarian counterpart, victor all bands, playbook, stifling opposition. facilitating takeovers of news outlets by business, people loyal to law and justice. and changing the law pieces 1st, target was tv, pete. the public broadcaster was brought to heal through the purging of journalists

who were replaced by loyalists. but independent broadcast is like t v, n were beyond its growth. and as the political scandals kept on coming, the coverage between t v p and t v n looked a lot more different than the one letter in that names would suggest to the driver as clever givers. thus one door, when the lord justice party took power, they began their assault on the public broadcaster. yes, but we thought they would grab control with the teaspoon. they used the ladle and split it since become a propaganda mouthpiece. and that context is fundamental to understanding how t v in 24 operates to day tv and 24 has always been objective. it doesn't matter who governs poland. it has always held those and power to account not answer, oscar vanya put out with her uncovering the truth is always uncomfortable. food dos, it affects among some of our bigger stories, was the bose ill, that bodie sion, neon. as the group celebrating he lives birds, they ha, ha, ha, ha ha,

ah, oh, sally, government officials criticized and tried to belittle this story, claiming it was the state. they even set up an investigation in an attempt to smear our journalism over then there is this so called envelope election, standalone corporate millions had been spent on an election that never happened. that was our story much ago didn't cover when that election did eventually take place and peace one again, this news room was next on the parties head list. rather than celebrating a double decade, t v n found itself countering a double attack. firstly, the broadcast regulator decided to keep the renewal live tv and 24 license on hold for the better part of 2 years, making the channels sweat. secondly, piece proposed a new law in parliament, banning polish broadcasters from being owned by anyone based outside the european

economic area. none of the broadcasting regulator nor peace responded to our questions diary, please, but the party has plain the law is designed to prevent adversary's like russia or china from taking direct control of a polish network. yet the only network affected so far is american out t v. n, can you hold on us what it hasn't been easy? the challenge was unprecedented. rebel, the danger was more real than ever before. like josh trashed to who joseph's tanya, which most of the cook, joe, not those boesky business man only been jr. merely act yourself with the thought, so should you have the pillow visit cost of watson and every government and the current one in particular is tempted to discourage the media from covering certain subjects. however, it is our right to have the freedom to report the news independently. this is what we stand by like us about it. the gosh, it's from mama vans on or knowing the t v m belongs to an american corporation. we

all thought it was a haven that it was impossible for it to be threatened. how wrong we were. suddenly this american investment was at the point of collapse. the possibility shook us. we thought if they were going after t v n, they could go after us as well. there's a scenario or a bang that he might be offered to bookings outside the scenario. organization of putin. ization of the media looked like it was becoming a reality, rather touch polish journalists rallied in solidarity more than a 1000, signed an open letter, defending clean media. t. v and supporters took to the streets there placards turning the v and t v n. into the victory side and victorious, they were for the time being. peace is foreign. ownership law remained stalled in parliament and less than a week before its license expired after 594 days in a state of regulatory limbo. tv and 24 was finally granted an extension

not almost not. so however, a damocles sword. now hanging over the networks, another c, v, and license t, v and 7 expires next year. and is potentially more serious because it's a big terrestrial channel, and it needs a polish license. that gives the regulator more ammunition against its american owners discovery. so the threat hasn't entirely gone away. newsome, pony me now would have been was, could have avoided her for peace. there has to be a permanent wall, a permanent enemy, even if the party backs down for a moment. it's a tactical retreat to wait for the right moment to strike again. every polish citizen knows that when those in power say we will have some influence over the media already. that's dangerous. but looking at what's happened to t, v. p or the regional chris pulse node actually means we will have huge influence, but almost flooded reversal because this is our genia lawn just as things that if

you have the media, you can control people and it's trying really hard to limit press freedoms to unify the coverage into one voice t v and 24 is an alternative, a counterbalance to singular coverage. i hope it stays that way. ah. and finally, the cop $26.00 climate summit in scotland is now over 2 weeks of talks, photo ops and speeches, some of which described the meeting as humanities last chance to avoid a total climate catastrophe. the happy talk has world leaders calling the summit a success. they have agreed to a variety of measures that would reduce global warming. the reality is most of those agreements are totally non binding. and even if implemented, scientists say they fall far short of what is really needed. political leaders have made and broken the same kinds of promises before. so where does that leave us with the australian comedy news outfit, juice, media, giving us

a glimpse of what it would look like if politicians called the climate crisis. what it really is was the here at the list post. hello. i'm from the government with an update on how we're handling the climate crisis. we know you're all counting on us to solve this problem. so humanity can keep enjoying its favorite pastime, continuing to live on this planet. the good news is we've promised to reduce our mission. and if you take all our promises and add them together, that puts us on track for still very much by 2050. and that's why there's a huge gap between our promises and where we need to be. we don't talk about that gap because that would entail a complex process called being honest, being honest would mean admitting that we're failing and we can't do that cuz then we'd have to stop failing. net 0 by 20. 50 means that instead of being honest this decade, by taking this path, we leave the being honest part to the last minute by taking that path instead, as you can see, both lead to net 0 in 2050,

but they're very different journeys. how's this path ads with many emissions to the atmosphere? and that one adds 3 times as much. this has been a message from your local government franchise. good by. authorized by the department for blah, blah blah. ah, we know what's happening in our region. we know how to get to places that others cannon i was thrown. dear god, by the police on purpose. and still i'm going on with the way that you held the thought is what can make a difference. a community decimated by cancer fights for the truth. who in this room has cancer, or knows the family that lives here that has cancer full lines exposes houston's cancer cluster. these are the 110 properties that have grown contamination

underneath. they looked at it is what paul blake command it to say from. do you feel them bell? no, no. we were sitting in time. full lines on out is near ah elegant piece adobe here in doha, with your top stories on al jazeera, the police in poland to fire water cannon and tear gas at refugees and migrants trying to cross the border from belarus. thousands of people had been camped in prison conditions there for more than a week, as i beg reports now from the polish side of the border. desperate people being pushed back with water cannon and tear gas stuck on the belly routine side of the border polish forces, stopping them from crossing into the you. it was only a matter of time these people faced with the lack of food.
