as for every day that her mouse releases an additional 10 hostages, the ball is now in her mouth as court. here in the halls of the united nations, it's clear that the pause in fighting was welcomed. but now worry, it was only temporary. and that if or when is real decides to resume its bombardment of gaza, will likely mean more innocent civilians are killed and a set back in diplomatic efforts. gabriel's on to i'll just see him at united nations in new york. various events are being held across the world to mock the un international day of solidarity with the palestinian people in the south african city of toronto is the trade unions and members of civil society have been holding demonstrations. south africa's parliament has voted to recommend the closure of these really embassy people from separate organization staged a walk out in central london, dement demanding a permanency spot in gaza. sonya go yeah,
4:31 am
go has more on this wednesday is the international day of solidarity with the palestinian people and it's an opportunity for you and member states to be able to commemorate that solidarity with a cultural event. of course this, yeah, it is a more mock, at least some of the, a fat gathering here, the south bank in central london, an area which is an arts and cultural hub of people from several different creative organizations who have arranged or moved couch to the mazda the organizations that they work full off for home and, and ceasefire in casa, i think it's really important for us to protect the right to be able to speak, often speak out and don't be scads. there's a lot of sense to have going on. and there's a lot of fear around speaking out, especially if you work within an institution. and i think for those right now we want to be able to call full permanency soc ceasefire. and. ready one all government to talk about we wouldn't be institutions are funded by the government
4:32 am
to talk about as well. this is not the only event that is taking place. there are multiple accounts that are occurring at universities and colleges across the country, demanding a permanent c spy, but also calling for more to be done to protect those, working in the creative industries and the west bank and gaza. but also to protect journalists, the committee to protect and this itself has said that this is the most deadly conflict today. so and it's records and that more needs to be done also around the censorship for those who are trying to raise awareness of what is happening in gaza itself. and sonya by eval, i'll just sarah london to stay up to date with all the news by visiting our website down to 0 dot com. the news continues here on out as they are optimistic the i'm, it's the world slow down. we stand for as homes with tips of global nickel reserves
4:33 am
. indonesia is points to leave the global, the battery industries. we definitely manage our abundant resources and play a role in solar energy harness the offerings, 75 percent of global carbon credits essential committees between prime mental protection, enhancing investment climate digital licensing, your better tomorrow, 50 days into the war in gaza. our focus this week is the propaganda claim is real, should have the upper hand but doesn't. and it shows the depth total amongst the journalists covering this story is on president $53.00 and counting the un special rapport tour, who has issues with the way this conflict is being recorded. the a temporary cease fire finally came into effect this past week, pausing. israel's on slot on the gaza strip for 4 days,
4:34 am
while hostages taken by her moss were exchanged for palestinian prisoners. the information were, however, continues, and the length of the battlefield. this fight is a mismatch. given the media tools that israel has edits, disposal, and the largely on critical treatment that it gets from international news outlets . and the of her moss has been more than holding its own, producing a different kind of propaganda, often diminished or dismissed by western media, but which resonates in the arab world. and with more and more people in the global south, there's really government clearly realizes that international opinion is turning against it. it is tried to make this story all about the horrors of october 7th, rather than what came before. and what has happened since. because a symmetry, a side decades of occupation and apartheid followed by a war of vengeance that has killed so many palestinian civilians are proving to be
4:35 am
a task that 48 days of bloodshed later our troops lasting 96 hours between israel and how mos that's come into effect giving bars in some room debris, temporarily the 1st pause in the fighting since october 7th, clearing the way for a hostage swamp, and the delivery of humanitarian aid into the gaza strip. in the information of war, however, there is no cease fire inside the is really military has been cramming online spaces. the fullest speed claims of from us command sensors beneath hospital and a copy of it was mine. tom supposedly randomly found in some palestinians phone from us has been producing its own prop. again, some of it looks like it's out of a video game featuring the daredevil tactics of its fighters,
4:36 am
punctuated with monologues from ox spoke to the speed of the body shop. the 2 sides produced a barrage of competing claims for ported accomplishments on the battlefield, and ultimately never to battle for public opinion. in this conflict is greater than normal. the amount of international engagement here is disproportionate even to the sides of the conflict . and both parties are very keen on getting their met, such across we know, for example, the israel has within its military division whose sole job is to monitor social media at the same time. there's also a lot of propaganda on the pallets to the inside when it comes to how mass. it's the message just defending itself for some of the actions in october 7th,
4:37 am
but at the same time lead to meeting it's resistance to the occupation. and so if there colonialism that exists in palestine and gets, the message is coming across from their world and policy in society, very powerful with israel would never admit to feed intern information. but it's actually suggest this why it is not going its way this past week after you and is really diplomats play the 47 minutes long film called bearing with on the attacks on october. the 2nd, the atrocities committed on that day, which included footage from home austin's on campus. the video is more than 6 weeks old, but the israeli government notes that it's disproportionate in humane bombing of gauze a sense has one global public opinion against that there is no way to defend the killing of more than 5000 college getting into. so it's best to roll back to the rewind the tape and make the story about october 7th. and then it's important for
4:38 am
israel to reiterate and demonstrate the brutality of time as soon as attack for several reasons. one of them is that there are still a large number of people who don't fully believe that and as deliberately killed civilians on october 7th. and by displaying this voltage it builds the legitimacy of the page. but there is another objective chemist whose actions on october 7th, with different to the other actions in the past. this was something most sadistic, something most, the extra food in the way that the violence was and stuff as broad cost of a wealth and broadcasting need video, showing them to the world is positive buildings. the legitimacy of that argument when it was 1st aired to a journalist in israel, people left the room and they were sick because it's incredibly graphic and it's, it's horrifying. but despite the fact that israel has this ability and it has all
4:39 am
of the sophisticated social media and propaganda or it does look like they're losing this works and that's the reason why is real is having to show over and over the 47 minutes of horrific documentary content, these riley's have this problem, that they're being perceived rightly as engaging in brutal disproportionality and killing large numbers of civilians. it is a war vengeance and promises and young who has said this on several occasions. the kid by him of the home of the name come both small. i know you almost a whole other shame on and indeed not the said what is okay when that and yahoo don't it that this is a war of vengeance. he's giving the game away from other mistake in messaging, much like how masses mistake of claiming they didn't kill any civilians. prior
4:40 am
to friday, ceasefire bull from boss and is real, were postings come back. when that content finds its way onto the international news out loudly, these really videos are usually treated as information, whereas a mazda is content due to its status as a terrorist organization gets labeled as propaganda. these are come off propaganda videos from the perspective of fighters. one, how much voice you will rarely, if ever here in western media coverage is it some military spokes, abu obeyed and anonymous presence with a reputation for defiance. through messaging that off when it includes a call to arms, he has developed a strange following among arabic speakers on the bottom because he is not the most of a mazda of social media output. was on the messaging app. charlie, correct? yes, but it's account. there is now bandwidth and that's still the videos. it's close.
4:41 am
get share via supporters and affiliates. one kilogram and other platforms. from there it makes its way onto eric news out. for the air, bold mouse presents a hope for liberation. it's a national movement. this leads you to, there's a willing here to hear those who are doing the fighting and are build other important components of our way that, that he's generally covered with what we call in family policy and scars. that actually highlights the importance of voice. instead of the image of the face itself, it makes it a collective voice of the resistance. he is a mosque figure, almost a rule shak test, onto whom views can project their own desires, their own expectations. someone who in his anonymity represents what ever you want that movement to be promised is also adapting like organizations to the molten age or digital journalism. you have
4:42 am
a figure here who appears to be kyra's magic to be dynamic and address it. and i think to a degree that explains why people would prefer to listen to him. then a spokesman sitting in a suit as a podium who may have been around for 50 years with nothing to show for it. how much and its allies have been very, very good at combining nationalism. what do you is lumnick commitment and the revolutionary e saw center is not a lot of those features are not really aimed at the west. they are not really aimed at the united states or europe, their end of the arabs and the muslims. and they've been medium effect that they've had a certain flare. for those who identify with the concept of resistance warfare does not get much more a symmetrical than the kind. israel is waging on got a nuclear power bankrolled by americans funding pulverizing 2300000 people locked
4:43 am
in an open air prison. israel is also far better equipped to fight in information. it has a military unit that specializes in psychological warfare and a formidable presence on social media. there are dozens of this reading news outlet compared to the one news network from us control outputs which broadcast narrative . however, the most persuasive case being made on behalf of the palestinians in gaza is not coming from from us. it is the impact the causes and the journalists have passed under the most dangerous conditions. imagine exposing the force of his really bombard their work. he's going by or traveling the work and it is a primary reason why in the battle for hearts and minds. israel has been taking a b v into nationwide. busy or is far less a symmetric than the military campaign. the scenes coming out of gauze,
4:44 am
off placing the norm as pressure on israel. and if you look at other parts of the world, particularly the global south, south asia, india, china, latin america, global and regional television stations. and use papers in those parts of the world is the palestinian message that i think is more widespread, more compelling to local audiences than the is really message. and i think that is a source of real concern. so these right now, we are witnessing the rise of an anti war movement across the globe. new people are learning about the policy as the holistic reality of policy is and how they live. i don't think for now how much is interested in engaging with mainstream media or in spreading gets messages there. we'll see the policy here, we'll see hope for the end of the occupation,
4:45 am
and that's why it was an age. the police this past week has been one of the most devastating for journalists in regards of that in a word that's already been described as the deadliest period on record for the news media. you're not sure obvious here with the details due to the total alternatives during the water and gaza has been like nothing we've seen in decades. that is according to groups like cpg, the company to protect journalist and reporters without borders known as out. assess the cpg described october as the deadliest month on record for journalist since the organization began tracking stats back in 1992. and that was before at least 11 journalists were killed in gaza in the span of the past 10 days, including the de la who them and needed training and press feed them organization called the press house. by this time, he was reported be struck by tank fired, as he attempted to see these really ground advanced integrated the city. this happened just
4:46 am
a day after to other during the list coming to mind how soon us and him and report a simon. so looking for the home us affiliated use network, good stevie. what killed in an s strike? new minister list, including on does, he does own, have received direct threats from these really on israel has, threatens out 0 is correspondence and goals are, you know, said that's heading her and her family to leave the more risk being killed along these really lebanese bordeaux. but fighting has persisted since the early days of the conflict report of federal omar. i'm come to mind if i'll be out of my body for the hezbollah affiliate the tv news, trying to all my be with to in and ask for israel said it was destroying petterson along the border with both the lebanese government. and i might even tvc jordan's being deliberately targeted. the total number of media professionals can still fight in this war. now stands at 5346 palestinians, photos, relays, mt lebanese, the cx 5 will have temporarily stopped these numbers rising. but it is only scheduled to last for 4 days as audits of has said,
4:47 am
journalism is being is advocated in the gaza strip, as it is also, visitor is refusing to heed calls to protect media. personnel likes me. in recent weeks, there has been an alarmingly small number of official voices calling for a cease fire in gosh, one exception has been francesca. all been a say. and italian trained in international law. she is the united nation special rep or tour on the occupied palestinian territories. and she's been vocal in one interview after another on the need for journalists to remember the context in this story. and what international law says about the rights and responsibilities of the occupier. and the occupied long before october, 7000. they say it was the target of smear campaigns and calls for her dismissal from the un. not one for being silenced. she has gone in the other direction to protest, eyes in the un forgets, and you can actually add albany is a, has import the media to do better telling journalists, we have
4:48 am
a lot of homework to do the necessity over cleaning up more. you may not or they've is categorical imperative both to predict francesca, our benet's a joins us now. is alban is a you've been on a media blitz ever since october 7th. you are no stranger to the sensitivities around this story. but tell us about some of your interactions with reporters and editors since that day. the assumption is that journalists have on this story. what's it been like for you? a hi richard. uh, it's on even because i have to say that there are, there have been a few jordan let us really try to do a good job, good coverage, asking me sort of neutral questions to appreciate the facts. but mostly i've had a difficult experience with the mainstream media in the west because i found i found myself in the uncomfortable position of being challenged phone. how,
4:49 am
what would co things or how, what would the reports and things go? i set the troll up. it's really real, so it seems not to understand what i'm saying. series and of course, sorry, no, i'm serious. there is an upper side that into, it's still munition. this is not the tool. this is international law. i mean was, and i my intention to, to challenge jordan the least. but it seems that they really wanted to, to, to, to, to challenge my way of looking at things which i found disturbing. because again, excuse me, but i'm here to report on on things that i've, i'm allies verified, triangulated and yeah. as long as the be surprising that relates to something that you've said about today's political landscape, you say it's marked by historical amnesia. traditional media plays a critical role in that and that many people are living in an alternative reality. what do you mean exactly by that?
4:50 am
yes, yes, richard, because this is not just a conflict and cooling a cooling a, just a conflict is a mean is a misnomer. because this is an occupation that has been ongoing for 56 years, so very limited a consideration for that. but also they need that consideration for the and during trauma, that also depaula students have in themselves because why degrees recognition for the tragedy that the jewish people have moved through and through across centuries. that told me that in the order of the holocaust, that is very new, the recognition of work, the college students hasn't had endured as a people seen 1747 since the end. and through the creation of the state of each row, they were never allowed to come to a closer. and again, this is not about thomas, this is really the policy. and as a people, as they try to resist
4:51 am
a violent real to patient india by policy policy and territory, there is no how much media, sorry, presence in the west bank and is jerusalem. and seen over to 100 people have been killed by sold ears and arm. the settlers, do you see any connection to east in the, in mainstream media? i don't think that there is a fair objective and impartial representation of the rea, his relationship between these ladies and the palestinians, and the policy and side of the ones were blamed and sneered, including when they tried to protest in western new offers. to being sony diety, with with apollo students, and you can buy policy into retreat. palestinians have heard the calls as we have from his really officials and forces in the is really media for what amounts to ethnic, cleansing, of gods, or as a lawyer. are you surprised by the evidence that they are willingly providing of what appears to be the intent to commit? what are in fact war crimes there seems to be this sense of in unity over their
4:52 am
words. it's surprising, yes, because these writings have never been so explicit inactive meeting responsibility for specific incident. one of the things that were absolutely shocking was the, the bomb being of the jump on the or if it g. com does these re, the ottoman knew that there were about $400.00 civilians, policy and civilians including hostages. and none of the less the comp, i was boomed heavily and hundreds of policy unions were killed. hundreds where injured the number of all such as was reportedly killed in that case. so yeah, they've been quite outspoken about their intention, including cooling, forget asian of guys, all the flattening of garza. and the whole show which is going to is the hutch the should've is luck, sagamore. it's funny on this. not for from augusta, the wagon in the same time. what i found more surprising is the kind of denial. and
4:53 am
this is because i called the alternative reality that people living in the west, there are almost 16000. so i've been report to be killed. and, and, and totally patients in the west are still debating whether us a permanent says fire should take place or not. so yeah, this, i find very surprising. we have seen before, what happens to people when this, this fury becomes a, becomes popular. and these genocide calls that we have heard from politicians and military leaders in these roles is also amplified in bias groups in these right. and he societies and impose your thoughts, other drama unless you're something i've done my hub. zip actually higher with that . um, so in the face of this madness, as someone who's seen this, the genocide of the heart are happening in other parts of the world. i say it's clear that this has, this has a staking these riley society to
4:54 am
a very dark place. and this is why i say in the interest of the policy and both policy and, and these strategies, this must be stopped. you faced a lot of criticism, but for some of the things that you've said and you faced some of that criticism prior to october 7th, some cases you've been to famed pressure groups, have been on your case to resign. what kind of things are they saying about you? are they succeeding is out and they say in making your job more difficult to look at these groups. and they, i mean they're all connected one way or another because they say exactly the same things that are repeated exactly in the same way. sometimes sometimes in the same sequence over and over and decorations against me are that i'm to some might this, i am pro hamas, and i support terrorism. francesca open is a,
4:55 am
is someone who pretends to be neutral. neither her position nor her own background have anything to do with impartiality. i mean, these are full subjugation the deputies enough to me to take continued legal action and it has also happened to my predecessors. is it succeeding? i don't think so, because eventually more and more people keep on asking me to, to speak, and to speak out wherever i go. speaking to goldman. so speaking to the media officer that occurred people's know people tell me or let me understand that the situation is better known that it would seem in the public debate, but there is a lot of censorship and stuff the censorship because people, people don't want to be confronted with the allegations i have to face on a daily basis, which in my case don't distract me. i keep focused on what i have to do. but i think that it's necessary to tackle these issue on the global level. because it's,
4:56 am
it's now also the whistle noise, ational, anti semitism, and the level of smear against any one. laughter is the word of criticism is seized well and everyone who was there's a horde of silly diety with the palestinians face such a huge and new bill. campaign, i mean, i also spoke with, you know, human rights defenders in the pacific guidance, pierce, they say, well, we face even motorists and detention if we come out and protest insulate already with the policy and people against what's happening in the gaza strip. so there is a ca, shingle of freedom of assembly is a crushing of freedom of expression and of the right to protest. i think absolutely unprecedented of this global level end of this scale, francesco benet's, or do you want special reports or for the occupied palestinian territories?
4:57 am
you're up against it. we understand you're very busy. we're very grateful for the time that you've made for us today. thank you. richard, you've been watching yet another full edition of the listening post on the war on garza our 7th street. in 17 years of doing this program monitoring the global media, we have never devoted so much coverage to a single story. we make no apologies for that given the awful attacks of october 7th, the war crimes that have taken place since. and that will presumably review once this temporary cease fire ends. we will continue to provide wall to wall coverage of this story as we would for any case of genocide unfolding before us. we'll see you next time here at the listening post. the latest news, as it strikes on the japanese refugee camp was so powerful that it uprooted the
4:58 am
foundation of this multi story building with detailed coverage. these premature babies having to show one incubator medical stuff didn't have the resources to cope with them on, on steve, as john and isn't, is really forces of killed more than 200 people in the occupied westbank since the events of october, 7th, frustration is crow. a weekly look at the world's top business stories from global markets to economies and a small business sales force and including security around the world. is there something that the international community, your view should be doing to understand how it affects counting the cost on o g, a 0, a to 0 is here to report on the people often ignored, but who must be hurt? how many other channels can you say will take this time and put extensive followed into reporting from under reported areas? of course we cover major global events, but our passion lies in making sure that you're hearing the stories from people in
4:59 am
places like how is fine with the young region. and so many others. we go to them, we make the effort. we tear straight the
5:00 am
mean celebrations in the occupied westbank as a 6th group in the past in prison is really the color that could be with us on jo. now this is down to 0 live from the also coming up. i'm off hands. i have a 16 more captive super being held in 2007 women and 5 minus are among those. now we need to continue for an extension of the cost to cease $5.00. we.
