now some deca, a fast growing economy with rapid industrialization has been worsening air pollution in bung with dash factors, relays pollutants without filter ration tech style dying still plants and chemical industries. along with illegal brick chimneys and a heavy construction exacerbate the situation. vehicle emission in large city is contribute to the problem. people are suffering and it's taking a toll on their health. i wear a mask web riding a bike because of the dust and viruses. most people should where want to protect themselves. folks, if you have pollution we frequently because of respiratory problems like congestion costs, and it's hard to know what physical health and the environment does. but the world bank report estimates air pollution, cost bangladesh, 4 percent of it's judy pete and causes $80000.00. that's every year. the report also saves the wind pad in the spring 30 percent of bangladesh as urban air

pollution from northern india worsening the situation. i've been working different last for hours while walking around dock up. now as you can see, it's cakes and does spend dark, visible evidence, what people are reading in here in the capital dot com according to their quality life index. poor quality video says life expectancy in bangladesh by an average of 5.4 years. and every district in the country accepts pollution stand upset by the world health organization may at least 3 full pallets. experts say air pollution is also a leading cause of pretty much your depth and bung with dash. i'm not the one that we're single rise and respiratory cases across of all ages. mostly due to air pollution. children under 10 are the most effective, especially polluted areas like industrial zones and slums cases of increase significantly compared to previous years. uh that there was to call the environmental advisor to the interim government save

a task force has already been form to prevent air pollution. i just think that actions have not been taken to implement the policy commitments. the good news is we have actually come up with an air quality management plan and that is identified the responsibilities of all of the public agencies. some environmental experts attribute, this problem to transport our air pollution. unplanned developments for management among government agencies, lack of monitoring and enforcement from each other a i'll just say to tucker, that's it from the money inside. lots more information now. websites out there and come nice continues ultimately the this is refrained. we'll be discussing the war in gaza and today how posted in

office are responding to it. the only thing that's right is have is the power of hope, award winning old, the fashionable to speak to palestinian by director ok met. i'm assuming that you were able to train those emotions that come on with something to the beautiful and see those emotions without the wounds that's coming. refrain on out to save the rest of the world, remain riveted on gosh, on the images and testimonies of palestinians going home on the stories of resilience. the looming issue, what comes next? donald trump's team takes over the white house briefing room and takes a shot across the by with the press court in b. c plus the block foster game that has thundered out of the chart while teaching paging a thing or 2 about how to showcase trying to

weeks you know, the cease fire in gaza. news has been porting out developments that have been playing out live across arabic language media displaced the palestinians, more than half a 1000000 of them returning home to the northern end of the strip. having survived the war siege and starvation searching through the rubble for what remains of their past lives, the images of their return and the most fighters there to greet them. i'm out to prove that the nation. yeah. who government stated war aims have not been met. and that is not going down well with certain segments of it's really society, right? wing media outlets. they are calling it a disaster or humiliation for our right voices and politicians are demanding a renewed offensive. how mos meanwhile is seizing the moment, making the most of it through its message in the course us and that remains is the one on the mind of every palestinian in the gaza. how long will the cease fire last

and what will happen if it does is red wanted a live stream genocide and an a live stream next. but what it was a live stream mess, return of displaced the best thing is to historic images of hundreds of thousands of philistines going back to their communities. have a great significance. and that's just for kind of stands for on a few matters. it is the opposite of an x. it is an influx of palestinians, back to northern godsa, a place these really said these people would never see again, a land is really forces have pulverized and left in the ruins. it makes for an odd backdrop, for scenes of jubilation. family reunions taking place amidst the rubble that everyone knows, conceals even more dead bodies. but for palestinians,

displacements is nothing new in runs in the family and goes back generations, 3 quarters of a century, all the way to 1948. that notion of a ton is really at the core, the published and struggle. and so when we see these people, despite all its display, this kind of resilience and resolve to stay on the land, it's really inspirational. but it's also good as sweet because 92 percent of homes and goals that have been damaged or destroyed. and they're also going back to recover the bodies of loved ones that have been trumped on does russell. so this moment really holds a variety of emotions, but i think it's a moment that will be remembered for a very long time. the images that we've been seeing coming out of guys in recent days, really speaks to the resilience of palestinians who have versed everything,

put their lives on the lines to be able to remain on their own land. and this, of course, coming at a time when we continue to hear efforts regarding the ethnic cleansing of palestinians from guys including from none other than us president donald trump. that would be a legal under international law which for bins f mcclin's and trump's musings have even been marked within is the liberal newspaper audits which has produced some questionable reporting over garza. never the less published this scorching editorial saying at this rate, trump is likely to propose the gardens to be launched voluntarily into space. and several mars are it is. the closest thing to an outlying unit is really mainstream

media space that has alerts to the far right. where outlets like channel 14 are putting a content like vis, boasts about destroying palestinian homes in gauze. the buy to come or just come on. tell me how the guys really is there to be met them. i don't have usually come up. i think a lot the a suburb of what's happening inside of the machine, but the there was a comment on, is there any chance of 14 and it will help them shift? so i'm assuming it's the limits will be to mode mode shim, a short, long sugar machine with. so i'm actually modeling me showing. i've been sort of, uh, you'll let me on this shows how septic this genocide, the campaign has been from the beginning, a campaign of mindless revenge. aiming at the expulsion of millions of philistines, but for the studios did not allow that to happen. and they also achieved

a spoken ticket that would be engraved when that was the 1st thing in memory or ever of setting a precedent for master turn the really incense by it, that palestinians, despite facing 15 months of constant bombardment, of losing over a $100000.00, probably palestinians and the price says that they are baton, and they were promised the destruction and elimination of hema, some expansion of israel into more protest in territory. and in gaza that that hasn't been the case load of this really feel betrayed by the cx. 5 to clean those on the the fall, right. they feel like everything they've fault for and the last year in the hall was for nothing that's a very hot po for for is right. is society to swallow. there is no cease fire being discussed in israel. the public discourse around it is of a hostage deal. and the difference is that a hostage deal is meant to return the captives and not meant to end the war in the

beginning of, you know, of the war. we heard a lot of talk about the 2 objectives of returning the captives and, and defeating from us as has been possible together. and i think what has developed as an understanding that they are, in fact, mutually exclusive. and that is creating big cleavages within is really society for mars, what is left of the move one wants to contribute to that. after the ceasefire, it reasserted itself in the armed displays of defiance, intended to show it has not been defeated, that it is still in control. and by helping the displaced find their way through a postwar wastewater optics matter, and one measure of mazda is gradual re emergence has been in the phase release of these really kept most work carefully choreographed and for most camera operators. film moment by moment with these really female captives paraded in military us

to remind whoever was watching that before those women were kidnapped. they were soldiers all taking place on a stage decorated with messages in arabic, hebrew, and english, that her moss, once he's released and the outside world to see the captive releases have really been about displaying how nice is resilience on our presence in gaza. and it's, and you all who promise that is ready people. he promised the americans that he would eradicate him, us from gauze, from the face of the call. y'all didn't look almost the whole concept of family and he hasn't a chief those goals on what, how mouse is doing with these orchestrated release is rebates showing it's, it's power showing its presence in gaza. there were certainly a lot of images and stories and these really media about from us reappearing and re establishing itself,

helping people rebuild and find places to live. those images are, are often presented to these really as a cynical attempt by having us to demonstrate its presence and prove that it hasn't been defeated. but i think there's something more fundamental there, which is that if they do want to re establish control, then they will need to help people who was lives in homes have been destroyed in this work. so it may very well have moved from an active work leading to one of trying to, to reestablish governance. what we've essentially seen is an escalation in the war of narratives that on the one hand you have, you know, these really leadership that has been saying that they seek to completely eliminate from us to eradicate within palestinian society. and on the other hand, we have these images that stand in stark contrast to those claims that they have simply failed in their mission to completely destroy this movement. and that it continues to be a very visible presence in palestinian society. journalists based in the

guys who risk their lives to document 15 months of death and destruction and survived was seeing so many of their colleagues killed. are part of the story. many had been seen, reunited with their families, sometimes lives on the server. definitely touching moments often broadcast across the arabic speaking were the comes with also saw him, most of the stuff gets kind of some of those journalists work for alger 0 networks and netanyahu government band in israel 8 months ago. but it's really, audiences politicians included have been watching l g 0 is output for coverage of the release of is really captives in god's waynes. it is, as she do, i assure you, i would suggest you can kind of go my measuring your customer to us as the 4 months is really media is rarely put additions were in a state of denial. the assault on,

on journalism, the assault on edges 0 was part of this process of denying, rather than graphically with the study i left these with it's declining petition as well went on shutting down the voice of truth. and now that the world has failed to achieve its objectives, they are going to wake up and grappled with everything that they have been trying to deny the, to washington. now with this past week, journalists were given a taste of the kind of treatment they can expect from president donald trump's new administration. ryan coles has been following the story. the 1st press briefing of the 2nd trump presidency took place, fronted by a 27 year old caroline love it. the youngest ever white house press secretary and right off the bat she said a few things straight. we know for a fact there have been lives that have been pushed by many legacy media outlets in this country about this president about his family. and we will not accept that we

will call you out there had been some speculation. is the possible changes to the briefing room seating plan? that's the list the media outlets to get a permanent see. and importantly, how close to the action they get to sit. instead, the white house will be inviting, took tucker's bloggers and podcast. there's to sit next to the podium in spots usually occupied by staffers or recognition perhaps of the role those kinds of voices played in president trump campaign. one of the more attention grabbing parts of the briefing was this regarding cuts the for an aide that there was about to be $50000000.00 taxpayer dollars that went out the door to fund condoms in gaza. that is a preposterous waste of taxpayer money that was later repeated by the president himself for for conservative media picked it up. do you think? come off squares condoms. no, they make condom bombs. and i'm also flights the condom straps on and explosives

and floats them into israel. it's a dual use technology. in fact, the story is entirely baseless. u. s. government figures show the of the $60000000.00 a for an 8 spent on reproductive health around the world. only 7000000 of that was spent on condoms and not a penny if it went to gaza next, right to china. now where the countries, entertainment industry is undergoing a transformation that includes the world of video games, chinese games have long had a reputation for being low quality, quick turnaround games you might play on your phone. about 6 months ago that changed with the release of blacksmith. we'll call blacksmith is a blockbuster of the game, but taps into chinese folk floor, taking your classic 16th century novel, re imagining it and turning it into a stunning immersive, modern day experience. and that's what makes blacksmith revolutionary the way a bridge is chinese mythology and contemporary game. but listening post product and

alpha. now on the video game that indicates china is gaming, industry has caught up with its competitors in japan and the west. and how politicians invasion are reaping the rewards of the credits and will show by here. so how can i speak home is a game d p rated in chinese traditional culture, religious beliefs and mythological stories. it's incredibly engaging because it faithfully recreate the mythical vega, son, we call from the novel johnny, to the west. this current to and history. a well known town. every chinese parson, regardless of age and 5, knowing the story of johnny to the west since childhood. but when i played black man, i was transported back into that story. say to me, it's not just an old story. it's in when you experience the, the,

the runaway success of like me to come rest in this ability to reanimate the story . first told in china 500 years ago, play is, are in math in chinese mythology, a well, the heroes stay at the spirits and theme that taken on a journey that includes real place. life like renderings of temples and fine. the chinese game is, are used to spending time in a world, typically dominated by stories from the west. it feels more like hard to play as a broad. it is a pull to into chinese culture. and that's what makes it a breakthrough. the china is gaming industry. what's really exciting about the game . black newsome cone is it's blend of cutting edge technology, intricate game play every deep cultural store and towing. so when a game was 1st launched, i'm back in august of 20. $24.00 is sold millions of copies within days in general,

and billions of dollars and values. if that's huge. um and you know, it's not as popular in china where 70 percent of its sales is based is also getting traction globally, which is a major milestone for chinese game developers. black moves, popularity, and the title of china is 1st a triple, a gang, a triple. a game typically has a big budget, a big team behind on a long production team, which is a mock up against quantity is graphics, game play, and story testing. these are not the kind of games that chinese developers, every 9 to projects. google. so you'll see chinese games to you guys have germany focused on games. we shorts, development cycles, lower investments, and foster time. those games have shows a pay times and quick monetize ation. but they don't deliver rich,

memorable and profound experience. this explains why black means we've called as a aaa gain, a sparks tell you much discussion. it challenges the stereotype of china as a producer. in theory, again told, though, the, the chinese gaming industry from the development side has been really focused on mobile games for the last 15 years. china has the biggest mobile markets in the world more than 90 percent of revenue in gaming. and china comes from mobile games and in particular from free to play mobile games and then monetize through micro transactions and ad. so black me flu call was really a departure for that because it's a game that's absolutely not concerned about being free to play. it's a game made primarily for computers, for causal that shows that chinese developers can actually compete with. usually western or japanese players in the space is highly, highly competitive. so this is really a, i would say, a coming to age moment for

a lot of chinese gaming developers and it shows the tech progress under way. and also how fast a china is catching up to global leaders in this industry. china, there's no 2 ways being the most to speak to the place the game developers there with this assign to protection that video games are harmful to young people that have an effect on policy, including limits on plates for children. there is also a strict government control and regulation of games production. before again goes to market. it is screened for explicit and violence contents as well as material that could be at all. it's with the official narrative coming out of beijing. blacksmith with its focus on the chinese effect and the architecture has a message the government can get behind when we talk about the,

the chinese gaming markets, we definitely need to talk about the regulations and we should not use euphemisms. there is definitely censorship, but there's a misconception that the governments will get involved in that and never aspects of, of entertainment in china like me through calling housing vestments from the local government from hun jones. but i don't think the government, the local authorities ever set down with them and said, ok, you need to do this or you need to do that. they hung to government is a big supporter. you know, off this the developer behind the game block. and this will call, in terms of providing policy support your investment funding and actually reserving extra costs. do you do place for the game see to, to grow. so i think the government is coming to this realization that the game is not just a past time. it's actually is strategic industry. we see gaming hardware

sales goes up because of the success of p for her purchasing her work in order to play the game better. and also local tourism, as gamers rush to the sites on which the games the settings are based, especially in the shines the province. so this new model of game plus economy is getting a lot of traction in policy discussions in china. so we'll just so put you into it so that this government supports is not just about funding. we can also see and tons of narrative off to the games release. several official media outlets in china, like people's daily online, endorsed black me sweet home. this demonstrates to the game lines with the official narrative, cultural directions, and society expectations. this is the, the game trends, entertainment. it became a medium for china as cultural diplomacy that cultural implement outside china has ways being challenging for the government to achieve. but black may, as we call it,

demonstrates this potential inside the sink wash as a full apology. the china is diplomatic approach has shifted in recent years. so moving away from what tools once cold was floria, diplomacy, a time inspired by an action may well floria, which came out in 2075. or to see the film special forces hero seemed to reflect the more assertive sometimes the aggressive language of chinese dip them. but that's the approach has since changed . chinese officials have embraced a foster more considered treats on a vision, centered on corporation, and then to start working to sign up for your insurance and just down to central cooking code to clean the guys there does seems to be a shift, at least on the margin from the aggressive styles will, for your diplomacy to

a softer, more engaging self cultural diplomacy. and in that sense, blackness, fitness nutone perfectly is not about confrontation. it's not about china, you know, taking on the world. it's more about sharing part of chinese culture. and precisely because that kind of soft power aspect of the game is not heavy handed. it feels authentic that actually contributed to the game. so appeal as a cultural product such as your phone in the face global life is a loss of attention on how trying to promote its culture, especially with the wolf forest dollars diplomacy and recent yes. this approach, which presents chinese culture and the bank, boastful, hyper masculine manner, has been met with a rather an accommodation attitude from west and government to media, which is understandable. locksmith we call, represent, to move stuff. so and in direct way of showcasing chinese culture. this is in fact

a very sophisticated form of cultural communication. it's allows chinese culture to enter the global playstation in a very natural way. it's a very successful, it's on the ongoing effort to tell china. finally this past week alley abilene, ne, i'm the head of the online news out loud electronic intifada was arrested in sewer jail for 2 days and then deported from switzerland. he was in the country having been invited to speak at a conference there about palestine post arrest. i will now most communications with the outside world were cut off. he was interrogated without legal representation and he says, police accused him of offending swiss law, but he was never charged with the crime. now switzerland makes a big deal about its political neutrality. it is how the country brands itself and the authorities there went after abeline ne,

i'm measuring the same week. that is really precedent. it's soc heard song spoke at the world economic forum in davos despite the fact that harris soc is among the is really politicians accused of inciting genocide in got it as a reminder, as if we needed one that the crackdowns on criticism of israel and it's atrocities against the palestinians are still happening even in countries that are allegedly neutral in connecting communities. adoption was never a benevolent effort. my family didn't need to be separated. my family needed to be supported. this isn't just about korea, this is a global industry opening up the conversation. would you say a conferences are, do people have less stress because it won't be this out. the forget for people who are actually facing the brunt of climate change with fresh perspectives from less
