5:39 am
over time. it happened incrementally as muscle leaning while said, you should flock the chicken feather by feather to lessen the squawking. that's exactly how pu, combined about noon. an autocrat is some one who rows by non democratic means any one who is authoritarian and style of rule. ah, there are many countries in the world now that have been going through this process of gradual descent from democracy to autocracy. m. and then you look at the authoritarian regimes, egypt, saudi arabia, russia, some of the other former soviet states. and of course, china, most of law and these regimes are even more authoritarian now than they were 5 or
5:40 am
10 years ago. on the 4th day of his northern nations president in may of 2000 vladimir putin sent armed operatives from the tax police. and the prosecutor general service to raid the officers of russians. largest private, independent media hold afternoon. they tried to bring in reinforcements city encampment already surrounding the television tower. 2003. we had a parliamentary election. yeah. so difficult to win an election when your opponents are not on the ballot. but he had them when you have a student with them, william. okay. black. when they go back to you know g m a yeah. the, the with the got to get back to the bulletin it by the way, i was did it at them. i didn't we so, but they still go through the charmaine when the sort of technical exercise as to all details. everyone will john lab will your suit opinion that that may be allowed
5:41 am
to use the label label to got on that you may need more, but i'll give you a little bit of july that was from where you stand. i see a video they have done everything they could to try to guard against to be for the security services to make mass arrests, to threaten in many cases to matter. political economy putin is a very insecure political leader. and he clearly fears that if he has a serious opposition, canada who is able to speak and travel around the country and mobilize that things may get out of control in russia, which is the land of monopoly power and monopoly greed, and a state that is capable of being murderous when it needs to be in the night of february 27th, 2015. barshan himself almost most prominent opponent vladimir fulton. he was
5:42 am
dumb down by 5 bullets in the back. literally in the shadow of a cronan in moscow. the bar since i was lunch is to close. connie has a very close friend. he was someone to whom i owe everything i've ever accomplished in my political life. it's says a lot about today's russia that this is the price of freedom that you have to pay the ultimate price. i the i was targeted into occasions both times in moscow both times through sophisticated poisonings. presumably carried out by chemical agents tool used by the security
5:43 am
services. going back to soviet times with this method has especially proliferated on the vladimir putin both times i was in a coma, one artificial life support. and dr. so told my wife that had about a 5 percent chance to live with so many people in my generation, in russia, it was sort of inevitable to become really politicized. this did perhaps small the beginning of the end. the 1st courses political memory was the democratic revolution in august of 1991 the 3 days that ended the soviet regime. as we woke up that morning in august of 1991, tens of thousands gathered at the cent russian citizens musk heights who refused to accept dakota. when are armed with anything, ah, except their dignity and determination to defend their freedom. and they went
5:44 am
into the streets and literally stood in front of the tanks. and then the tank stopped the soviet and turns away boys. this was my 1st conscious political memory. i was chinese, although the times use yesterday roaring approval for every freshman. now the biggest fear of any autocrat is his or her own people. it has been like this throughout history. nothing changes in this regard. it was the limited reflection, you know, for invasion. no, i sort of pressure from our side is as dangerous to them as when they see crowds of people on the street. with on vladimir putin's watch, that the many democratic peace revolutions. but none of them so far have been as dangerous, flatter mapleton as the one in ukraine with
5:45 am
russia. lau is the most aggressive and amy of democracy in the world. the strategy of kremlin used to build your russian world and did not on the ball at the minute. stop them. they bought corrupt shop. it's about the culture they want everyone to fear. mm. family wants to control some parts of this world for they are for they think like empire and ukraine is already a democracy. biggest russian speaking democracy. unfortunately to them for
5:46 am
me in with with they will throw the dignity in ukraine was a moment when ukrainians choose not to fear. 3 of us will vote. they can do them from all of the learning the job to look up with the advice from a person to put a more so couldn't break at all. okay, you got a record, you know, you won't preview all still. no. when there's not old news alert. silly warrior was
5:47 am
pretty wide, cook or oven. you us up a g on when you stored will any played grow? lou was any she pretty squeezed it all day through. it was listed. woodson. president bra slower. ah. ah, why you crane these so important for kremlin? and it means that it's sweating, portent for the world for all these bottles for democracy. geographically, ukraine. he's was actually in the middle of this conflict between the worlds between the liberal world liberal democratic and asserted that
5:48 am
every year we become stronger. but kremlin, do it's best to, oh, it's resources we to faith because it's impossible to build a russian to. so tiny results with reinforcement, 3 units of ukrainian food, ukraine, already revolt in the war. and it's not only a conflict between ukraine and russian. granite people is not the, i'm ellen and the russian. maybe i believe that it's a war against democracy. it's not the crisis, it's hand. might she to be sure if we lose it? ah, it will be a loss for all the world. and
5:49 am
when they're a war politically with your values, principles, and institutions, you either have to decide that you're going to defend them. and fight back or we are going to be a very, very grave risk. as i sit here, russia is massing troops on the ukrainian border as i sit here, russia is mobilizing new military power in the arctic ocean and so on. china is mobilizing its military in the south china sea and bearing down on taiwan. i don't think we should seek the cold war, but it is in period a new period of normative battle over democratic values in the world.
5:50 am
i think democracies of the world have to recognize this and rise to the challenge with figuring out how to deal with the rise of china is the great challenge of the 21st century. dis gotten more authoritarian over the past decade, state champion and alternative to western democratic capitalism. that gives dictatorships like china's an incredible vulnerability should a day come when that regime is no longer able to provide economic growth. it will no longer have any reason to stay in power and the only choice it will have
5:51 am
therefore, if it wants to stay in power, is to use increasing repression and increasing violence against its own citizens. ah ah. so in 2014 i was us to the leader. we had the massive of civil disobedience movement called the umbrella movement news, news, news by law. people were promised to moccasin autonomy by the chinese government. we didn't believe them after the tenant masika. and under that one party did his ship,
5:52 am
so we have hundreds of thousands of people blocking the major on may of hong kong, showing a very strong tech know that we are demanding for democracy. and the government should let them draw voice. they saw us troublemakers, or even the traders of the country because among other products system in hong kong . so we actually suffered a lot of them at 1st the t's and attacks i decided to run for election. i managed to win the election at the age of $23.00 and becoming the youngest elected legislative, hong kong fishery i. it shows how people want to change. yeah.
5:53 am
but at the end of the day, the government, they always can find ways to suppress you. they managed to kick me out of the counsel 9 months after i represent the people in it's a month i went to jo, caught the umbrella bisman. i felt definitely about it, but my actually had a mental preparation for that. and i feel like he's actually one of the pest up in our system journey. i at the end of the day, the movement, the not so seat. but it was of very memorable page of history because a b flat, the very 1st massive disobedience movement over time. i
5:54 am
decided to flee out of the city in order to preserve a voice and soon enough i left the city. i found myself on the want of based off the national security at all. if i were to be back to hong kong, i will immediately be arrested and be submitted to the national security court. the charges they put on me on the metal, the penalty of it is life imprisonment. we are literally facing the most powerful author at harry, jamie, in the world. so we are actually facing david versus goliath battle. ah, if everyone wants to change the country only thought about their personal safety, then nothing in history, whatever will sort. we know the risks and we accept them because we think our
5:55 am
country deserves so much better than being ruled in the 21st century by a collector crashing dictatorship money that you will need to be up and let us submitted. but yeah, i mean, you did it or not you but i you know, like what i
5:56 am
what i me
5:57 am
me. ready oh, yes, just over the north from the show in any i use natural was actually due to the new model. so i didn't teach at the gym by blue here the lady perry gave for me would give him was allowed? was it a lot of you know those local dealing but in the civil got you and her sure. no to gillian. he goes anyway,
5:58 am
she's up there and she navigate rough estimate is in the model. oh you do that? what's your place in your mind? yeah. pursuing a yes ma'am. i we sure that ukrainians are ready to die for democracy. you fight or that's it. that's it. if you are not ready to fight, you will lose any weight. because the idea that these guys, poor jungle shaneka we'll go out themself.
5:59 am
not valuable, they dea, it's afraid they'll. ah, the most powerful lesson i learned in my life is that however strong a dictatorship, how is strong and pervading forces, however strong and half of the repression. when enough people are waiting to stand up, what's right, they succeed. and i think even in the darkest types, in the darkest days when it seems to be most difficult and most appeal to climb, i think it's very important to remember that you know, so he dissidence i had the saying that night is dark as before the dawn and i think that is a very important passenger. mm. pro democracy activists risking their lives fighting autocracy on me. i know that i
6:00 am
might go to prison and so i will join the ra democracy may be exposed. the struggle of those who believe democracy is worth dying for we never know when an opening is going to come. when a fruit vendor is going to emulate themselves and say enough is enough. my life for democracy on al jazeera, for half a century. indigo, die is all bottled up. what can i so what are the last ticket? yeah, and others in northern nigeria have watched helplessly as a business struggle and being cups. dissipated growth making technology has changed over time, but at this di pete's income and expos say that's met some of the products and competitive the dumping of chemically treated fabrics. yeah. like in most african markets is a major source of concern for local producers. there is widespread consent here but so even the few.
