cup to the smell of smoke, i'm sure if there was a fire. as no alarm sounded in a panic, we ran to the lobby and then decided to go upstairs. unsure of the fires souls. upon seeing flames and 6 smoke, we rushed downstairs to the sky room, barely escaping staying on the 3rd floor. we saw flames on the 4th floor approaching us while we were trying to find l springs and escaped to mclennan we. on the 3rd time, we woke up the screens. they said there was a fire and told us to evacuate. we rushed out from the 2nd floor. the fire was on the 4th floor and above it was already windy and very bad. the hotel is on the edge of the cliff, making it difficult for emergency teams to reach some what this is say, it's fire detection systems failed. authorities say they acted quickly and did everything. they could y'all. i'm going to move the the old, the 1st report of the fly was received at 3 27 am and the teams took action as soon as the report was received. the 1st intervention was made by our emergency teams at

4 15 am and the 6th persecutors have been appointed to lead an investigation. the fire is believed to have started on the same floor as the hotel restaurant for people have been detained in clothing to hotels own or be by control of cocaine production. petro suspended peace. totes, and is accused. the land of committee, ball crimes fog signed a peace agreements with columbia in 2016, leaving a and the only major rebel groups still fighting. a government within $23.00 rebels in the democratic republic of congo have sees another town in the east. local officials confirmed the capture of nova, the town is a supply route to game, which is the capital of north keeping provence. more than 230000 people reflect the fighting between the government forces and m. 23. since the stock of the this for 2 americans with enough gun have returned home after president swap

between the to the band and washington calling about how many returns from california, where i'd been serving a life sentence on drug and terrorism charges the less of the rest of the we begin with the cease fire deal between israel and tomas an agreement that brings to an end to more than $460.00 days of israel's genocidal assault on the occupied draws a strip if adhered to and that is a big question. it will allow for the release of both is riley and palestinian captives, the return of displaced the palestinians, the supply of aid, and the gradual withdrawal of israeli forces from key parts of guys that disagreement could have been reached months ago, which is possible because he wants to get in as many last shots as possible, plus he's afraid of his coalition collapsing. so in other words,

for him attacking gods and carrying out a genocide is actually good for his political career. so he's going to do anything possible to try to delay this as much as possible. this week there was also a flood of reporting, including and is rarely news outlets that recognize the obvious that prime minister netanyahu never did want that deal repeatedly did everything he could to scuttle it . what did you make of that report and get some merchants in those circles? how new is that to? is really media consumers. this was clear from, from way back when actually even as far back as march of 2024th. what the outline of this agreement was going to be, and it was clear that he was pushing for it not to be signed, which is why the united states ended up abstaining from us security council resolution. and then in may, she also was the person who refused to have this deal. why is it being revealed now? because it's really is want to see an end to this. they are tired,

the economies in shambles, etc. this isn't out of love for palestinians, by the way. this is simply for their own self interest that they want to see this come to an ad. israel's been ostracized. it's now difficult for their soldiers to travel around the world as it should be. people are talking about accountability. and so the reason that we're now seeing this come to light is because there is some pressure to it for, for next, you know, to actually beach disagreement and to for it to pass in the cabinet. still netanyahu surrogates in the is really media seem to be going through a painful readjustment of their world view. many are called as a capitulate the think that this is being done because because trump believes that genocide should come to an end, i think this is being done and he's and met the i was being rewarded, which is exactly opposite. we shouldn't be rewarding people who's been carrying out genocide past 15 months. one thing that has become clear after 15 months of live stream genocide is that nobody anywhere can say that they did not know. so i wonder

what you make of some of the report and we saw from the likes of 60 minutes in the u. s. and m s. nbc. this past week, suddenly doing the kind of reporting using the kind of language they should have been using for more than a year. and a you're absolutely right. nobody can claim that they didn't know their people for choosing not to bar. and there are people who are excusing genocide, but nobody can say that they did not know. in fact, one of the things that has been the most jarring of this is such as we've seen, policy is live stream, their own genocide. we've also been seeing that israel has systematically attacked house city and journalists who are trying to get the world to see what's happening and it's been radio silence. not only have we not heard jermel speak up against the attacks on their own as one would expect. but we've also seen people somehow turn a blind eye and ignore the massive destruction that israel has, has,

has needed on casa. and so why is it that this is happening now? it's hard to say, but i can say that all of this information has been there. and in fact, some of the reporting that happened on 60 minutes was footage that they've had for months and months and months on end. and just simply chose to sit on and so it says a lot when we're living in a world where journalists are not believed, simply because they're post union journalists. and that we were in which journalists are not defending the when standing up for their own when their own are being systematically targeted by these rims or to me what, 16 minutes and m s n d c are now doing looks like a late attempt at image restoration. what do you think we'll be seeing more of this in not just the american media, but in media overseas. bbc in the u. k. dodge avella, in germany. can it possibly work for those organizations?

i fully expect that in a year's time we are going to be seeing people who claim that they were always opposed to the genocide. there's going to be a lot of revisionism because the level of destruction is so huge. this isn't just the question of destroying homes and buildings, but of every aspect of society. and i do think that we're going to get a turnaround at one point in time where we see editorial as a talk about the damage that israel has caused in the end, the genocide just in the same way that we saw on the aftermath of the of the us invasion of the rock that now it's hard to find out, let's say that they were supportive when at the time they were serving us to cheerleader to the us invasion. so it's really question of whether they're going to be able to get away with that. i certainly hope that they won't. i hope that people are savvy enough to recognize that is the role of media not to serve as the spokes

person of governments for to be parity is really talking twice. but you really interrogate those people who are in positions of power and to question what it is that they're doing not to believe the, the talking points in the lies, but instead examined what israel's doing from the standpoint of its victims. meaning from the standpoint of past tense, that was what the role of media was and is, and yet it's filled with it when it comes to goss. the last one for you, the level of violence, the is rarely military has unleashed on godson has broken every conceivable nor seems to signal a terrifying new era of warfare in which anything and everything it seems is permissible. if you have the right governments in your corner, when you look at how this has been reported, what do you think will be the last thing? impacts on journalism, faith and media globally. it is the people who have carried out this genocide

are not held to account. we're looking at a world in which there is no international legal system. there are no international norms. there is no equality. there is no rule of law. it's simply rule by power. and that's a very scary world for us to be living in one in which it's ruled by power and not ruled by law. the whole point of creating this international legal system was to guard against genocide. and yet we haven't seen that that's happened. but it's not only that it hasn't happened on a global scale. questioning what israel's do me, they said, or questioning house demands for their lived experience and putting the onus and blame on us. that's the part that is truly disturbing and all of this will it change? after after 15 months of genocide, i certainly hope so. if anything's using it to take aim of california as democratic

leadership, sometimes contorting the facts to attack the states. progressive policies, it's response to this, the merch i'm in moscow has been de emphasizing the cause going all in on the effect. his claim that but basically also to $4.00 to $5.00 the fires. this was actually shown in an actual discussion with 5 for i tried to come by the fires. he said, no, that's not the problem. there was water, we have several more problems, all right, cheap at b, scaling the fires means that the delivery and quote side of the how much they have is basically impossible. indian governor gavin newsome, they see a potential democratic presidential candidates in 2028. but most of the anti war types in america were born in the usa. you on mosque was born and raised in apartheid era. so sound for the whites in south africa lecturing. americans on the

perils of diversity. equity and inclusion is a little rich. this is part of a broader right wing plain book that you see attacking the eye initiatives. the fact that the mayor of los angeles current boss is a black woman, monk says that you are totally incompetent. are you considering your position ahead of me in los angeles fire department is a gay woman. so there are continually these identity based attempts to undermine people in charge rather than sort of focusing on fact based information and broader . maybe more systemic challenges that, that may have contributed to the proliferation of the fire mosque has sort of long been this sort of ne, uh, almost edge more the type of person you know, saying weird or otherwise borderline inappropriate things i think we've seen is his increasing closeness with people of the far right who previously might have been

banned from the platform. people who hold, i'm waiting nationalist or racist perspective, pushing this particular narrative around demonizing diversity equity inclusion initiatives. even though that has nothing to do with this moment of the fires, the sort of backlash against d i is. it's really interesting. i'm going to quote a line that seem to emerge from the internet, which is privileged because he feels like a repression. that's if you're on the top of the pile attempts to introduce grace or quality to lower your comparative staff as in society, you've got to kind of thing that threatens people. like most people like trump, the, i'm, yeah, there are instances where it's got problems. i'm sure, but actually the reason people are pushing back against that is because it threatens that privilege position platform. he owns and controls where he can push the accounts of those he agrees with and suppress the one. some of that was he does the common denominator for mosque in germany,

the u. k. and the u. s. immigration sd is incredibly anti immigrant party. they have come into power for dominantly as a reactionary party. choose these german asylum system that welcomes people from the middle east during the syrian price system 2015. and that is part of must, through line on integration. the idea of who's being allowed in demographic replacement and whether or not these people have a place in what he and others consider to be western society. and in that way, there is a lot of ideological alignment between what mosque has been saying around the u. k . and the west and within the u. v. a f d is much like trumps agenda, openly anti immigrant nationalist. in some ways you on attempt to sway the election and bolster sd is also going to attempt to make sure that trump's

agenda encounters as few barriers as possible. but beyond that, he actually wrote in and when he tells his followers with you or the media. now he's not out to empower them or simply disempower, legacy media outlets. he wants to empower himself balls through his platform and to increase the disproportionate influence than one man already has on democracies. such as the one donald trump is about to take over in washington. when musk says that people are losing trust in the media or somehow his uses are in the media. now he's the one driving that he's choosing who to amplify. he's choosing what good or bad information means on his platform. a very small group of very wealthy people are benefiting immensely from the weakening of the media or, and what information people have access to what is readily presented to them. and

you also have in trump, someone who repeatedly derives and undermines trust in the media. given the reach and scale of x, it's quite possible of that information, whether it's true or not. that circulates on that platform can reach more people than journalist can. that is a problem for all of these firefighters. so i really hope that you on is not correct and that every day people on acs, including people peddling just information, replace journalists, i think that that would be really scary for democracy. the finally back to gods. and the moment this past wednesday that a journalist alger 0 era bits on us out sharif, announced that the cease fire agreement had been reached. shareef who kept reporting from northern gas while more than 200 of his journalistic colleagues,

had been killed by his ready forces. many of them targeted, made a point of removing his body armor as he spoke the can on the floor. how did include the mean just the what were you know, will i be turn on the frequent a while on the have the mean it's mary lou and i love you can say okay, who know mccadney little how the how about the fucking fucking assuming some of the do it, however palestinians know all too well that hope is fragile,

often stolen before it can prove real. later that same day sharif with his body armor back on when he is real viewed, it showing and bombardment, killing palestinians as they celebrated the cease fire in the streets. then targeting them in the tents where they have taken shots. all intent on out, usually around the us a call was of interest to people around the world. this has been going on for a number of years 30 to an international perspective to try to explain to global audience how is this could impact the lives. this is an important part of the world and how to do this very good the bringing the news to the world from here . hearing. the fact is, when you systematic and deliberate destruction of cause we will to infrastructure has left more than 2000000 people in a state of color. since from asking questions. what do you think will be the last thing? impacts on journal is reporting from the action when firefighters did arrive. there

wasn't sufficient with an in depth coverage. it's a gathering of intention to speak to wisdom teeth this out as it was, teens on the ground. when you closer to the.
