dominate the industry, but then it could be changes in january. chinese still top deep seeks done the world by releasing a low cost, high performing chat to model the sure gets us rivals and send tech stokes tumbling . so timing was approved for washington, just the week off the us president. donald trump unveiled the hall for training and all of our infrastructure plan. the release of deep chic, hey i from a chinese company should be a wake up call for our industries that we need to be laser focused on competing to in the challenges for your pin governments as to catch up with the us and china in the a i race, i'm also convinced that citizens the a like doesn't have to be scary. we can actually change their lives. the pressure probably concerns a wide spread fee is of job loss is to worries that a i could destroy to minus the one on the list says that you need to increase

investment and change the narrative to stay competitive. i think the glazing is very much, maybe, but there has been an over discussion of the risks of a i, i think we need to be doesn't more above average in decent you up as well in order to dig, start the bodies, the changes that are needed to make you that's out to the others, the use the term and to avoid dependence on us in chinese, a technology box unless the book accelerates some freshman and innovation, it's risk being left behind in the context that is rapidly re shaping the world. the tasha butler ultra 0 power the m as it's a nice sort of any age next on alpha 0 is the listening phone. sorry, navigate of us to that with more news through great. stay with the on counting the cost, what's behind donald trump's terrorist and could they trigger a global trade war?

india is facing on its middle class to revive its slowing economy. but we'll look campbell pay off. plus has the china taken the lead in the global race, the terms and the cost on? i will just the roof is donald trump taking a wrecking ball to american democracy by handing over the keys to view on mark's and his field. and what other political liter looks at the gaza strip and sees a beach resort in ways it could be so magnificent. the, the rebranding of syria's rebel leader turned present. will it stand the test and see who's age must not be that cameron's presence is in his attempt exec data flight is that gate in town? it isn't alarming moments in us politics playing out in real time across the media

development. so i've been fast and furious with donald trump flooding the new space at a rate the journalist find hard to handle his plan for an american takeover of the gaza strip. turning a war zone into the middle east riviera and the. busy thing, palestinians, even american politicians, have described that as lunacy. the president has given a long must qu, port hundreds of millions of dollars into trumps campaign, unheard of access to sensitive government data and key institutions. he is re shaping federal agencies or just shopping them down for i think, vital social programs for americans and slashing foreign aid. the beneficiary of most of those changes the private sector, silicon valley and the american, all the gods, which is fine with trump. there, he's kind of people, the question that underlies all of this, who is really running the country? the initial challenge for any journalists covering the launch of the 2nd trump

administration is what do you focus on the graphing of government institutions you on must running a mark. how is any of this legal viewing trade wars with americans? neighbors to the north and south. trump's talk of taking over agreement and the panama canal of canada, it's becoming part of the us or canada to become our 51st state. he said it before. he just said it again. moments ago. it is a blizzard of political message, and it's by design. it's a company, it really is. i think this is definitely intentional, if you say and, and to enough things to our crazy old radicals at the same time, then your opponents by which they most definitely mean the news media can keep up the con, focus they call and fight back flood zone with information executive orders and actions and it leaves the media chasing yesterday story. instead of focusing on

what they're doing today, this is the problem. there was an effectiveness to just throwing as much as you kind of the will a seeing what sticks and be seeing what the media can keep the ion and what they lose track on the trump presidency has begun. the 1st 2 weeks feels like to use the u. s. media could start with this and alleged his reading work, criminal needs convicted, american felony prime minister benjamin netanyahu indicted by the international criminal court. was welcome to the white house where donald trump, who took credit for the cease fire, currently in place. casually ruminated, once again about the benefits of the s and the cleanser of 2000000 palestinians endorsed donald trump and netanyahu both of them want absolute power. both of them right now have absolute power. i don't think that donald trump care is all about israel. i think that he cares about development and real estate. the riviera of the

middle east. this could be something they show magnificent. what netanyahu wanted, what a green light, and i think that that is what donald trump will give him. trump said, actually on the, on the customer of this, daniel, who does it, or i can't guarantee that the next phase of this call said, seized by idea will happen. whether that reflects trump not ready giving a crap about what happens or whether it reflects that he can't control netanyahu. guys is a guarantee that they're gonna end up dying. the same thing is going to happen again. but yeah, his strength as project is certain, meet house limits to it. even close allies will test those limits and see what they can get away with. the american media landscape is no modeled some media outlets, including scores of new online platforms still provides valuable journal that holds power to account. but there are unmistakable signs of some major legacy players. crumbs. we saw them even before donald trump won the election when the billionaire

owners of the washington post and the la times both vetoed their editorial teams, planned endorsements of comma harris. there was a b c news settling. our trump defamation case with legal experts said abc could well have one. instead the network just cut trump a check for $15000000.00. there are now reports, but cbs news is in negotiations to do the same over another defamation case and which trump is demanding $10000000000.00 and cbs and 2 other networks. the publicly funded p b s t v, and the national public radio are under investigation by the us is broadcast, regulate the federal communications commission, which is now under trump's control. the threat of fcc action alone is enough to scare and intimidate many, many broadcasters. it's enough to make people think twice about broadcasting difficult stories,

and it's the drain of resources which already are stretched in. so while the fcc might not actually win any of these battles and they've brought them to to court, what they can do is just make the lives of many broadcasters, the really difficult and got certainly is going to have a tangible effect. now you have cbs, another network which trump sued the destination for fraud for the way it edited an interview with cala harris on the 60 minutes before the election. i completely reasonable and baseless law suit in a country with the 1st amendment. very, very clearly protects news organizations, absolute right to edit material as they see fit as credible reporting. but cbs is in talks to satellite case withdrawal. why? because the parent company of cbs is engaged in a mojo. the trump administration will have to refute before it's able to take effect. that is not spending the out to see maybe not maybe it's pending. then you may also have greed. mark sucker for the owner of metro is of

a similar mine. he has come full circle from 2021 when he band from from facebook and instagram to 2023, when he reinstated him to 2025 agreeing to pay trump 25000000 dollars to settle yet another lawsuit, a boat that bad it's been a pricey turnaround, but sucker berg can afford and it landed him a front row seat at trump skiing. r gratian along side fellow tech, throw you on much. the owner of x now leads to the department of government efficiency and says he's on a mission to eliminate bureaucratic way. mosque is brought in help from silicon valley. young tech graduates finding out across various government departments accessing all kinds of private information about american citizens. and who knows what else i'm elected citizen and

a bunch of kids who are not old enough to run to call a now taking over the united states government have access to all sorts of classified and secret and sensitive information. now when we think of cruise, we think of the south american general on the balcony and tanks in the street, we don't think of the tech 1000000000 and his, the 19 year old accomplice going in, taking over some complicated treasury financial system. but that is still a crew in the sense that the competition doesn't allow for any of this stuff. so all roads lead back to the us meet it needs to be able to call a spade a spade needs to be cool, like out things as they are happening, not minimizing them and certainly not normalizing them. the american media would be covering what is happening in donald trump 2nd term very differently if it wasn't happening in america. if it were happening in the middle east, if it were happening in africa, they would be covering it as what it is, which is a crew and a govern and take over. right. and right now they are too afraid for too entitled

to access that they are not going to cover it in that way and they're going to make it seem as if what is happening before our very eyes is normal and there is anything but normal. it really depends on who you're talking about. a lot of us media organizations are throw in the full way of their coverage still at donald trump. they are times had a big front page story today about the law and mosque 6 of the best reporters, the times as covering the chaos that you on and his small staff are conflicting on the federal government. there is definitely a level of aggressive coverage among some news media organizations. and among some journalists follow the money. it is a journalistic tenants. one that can lead reporters to the retail store. and the american political system makes it relatively easy to do that. you on mosque health bank roll, the trump election campaign by contributing to 190000000 dollars to mosque now gets

to ransacked the government and cuts critical social services for americans who need help in the name of efficiency, miriam ales, the widow of a casino owning pro israel billionaire donated $100000000.00 while pushing the trump team to support israel's annexation of the west bank. the next in yahoo government is now enjoying the political benefits of another billionaire. rupert murdoch contributes in a different way through his media outlets, including fox news and the wall street journal. 3 days after the journal ridicule trump's plan to place 25 percent across the board. terrorist on imports from canada and mexico saying it would spark the dumbest trade war in history. trump put that plan on hold, and there murdock was in the white house watching his investments pay off. the wall street journal's admonishing donald trump for creating the stupid s trade war that

we've ever seen. realizing that not only are the people of this country going to be hurt, but the shareholders and the ceo of companies are going to be hurt as well. and he's backing off of that because the very donor base that gave money into his campaign now recognize that they are going to be at a loss in donald trump's economy. you have to understand this is billionaires playing monopoly with the rest of our lives, right? they are playing a game to trump is the most in skin demand of okey by any elected office anywhere in the western world. he's obsessed with media coverage. so when a friendly newspaper let the most be gentle, causes tire of plans, the beginning of the dumbest trade. whatever that bothers when reuben model is tied up in the office, telling him, presumably is not gonna help us help the economy help the bottom one that does have an effect. the fact that he dropped the times yes. does suggest that he was worried about the negative coverage. he's getting a little this is

a president who both intimidates the media, but is obsessed with the media to syria. now, where the new authorities in damascus are mounting a charm offensive across various media outlets. and on the world stage, product and alpha has been following this. one week off to his ministry commandos made it official and appointed him interim nita, of syria. president with a shutter has been on a media blitz a shuttle. but you find the electricity to be doing to the tv cutting costs for the 1st time. we gave an interview to a local news channels, syria tv, the main pro opposition channel. during 15 years of civil we'll definitely just need to look online and look at a some of the short. why do you want to go that with, you know, i noticed on that and to face, what do you do? i'm going to milwaukee being the thought associate over the us in america in the field. he's also being doing interviews with international outlets, including the economist magazine and one that quote, some people off god,

a british political podcast that followed a string of meetings and thoughts with regional leaders of to welcoming the customer you may have through damascus shut off, took his 1st phone trip to saudi arabia, where he also visited the heidi city of mca before heading to talk to meet the presidents wedge of tire. i do not imagine hughes was revealed during any of these engagements. shut out, reiterated the syria was on track to have elections in the next 4 years, he told of inclusion, and wanting to rebuild his country's relations with the world. is ro, which is currently occupying a huge track of fear in land was badly discussed. really though this week was all about optics and its been an extraordinary po transformations from of the shutter. up until 2 months ago, he was known as a boom, how much a jew 90 the head of the armed rebel falls. hey, a tough a of a shot was the you and other western powers designated

a territory. these rebels health brings down the dentistry which had ruled syria for more than half a century. syrians are still waiting to see if meaningful change has come to that country or whether this will just turn out to be a new form of one party rule by star. the next week, the president of camera, real and paul, the turns 92. he is the world's oldest political leader and has ruled for 42 years . b, a has a reputation back of an absentee president due to how much time he spends outside the country. last year, bill was abroad for so long that there was speculation online that he was either dying or already debt. rather than crushing those rumors with a public appearance or to be a simply band camera rooms media from reporting on his health and that preventive journalists from discussing what might come next politically in a post be a camera room which given the factional fighting within the ruling party is

a news where the story, i'll be a dangerous one to cover the listening posts. nick, me, your head now with producer, blaze young from the camera. rooney in capital you one day on the editorial red lines around the coverage of the world's oldest lead. one thing that strikes you when you woke around cameras capital that one day is just dominant images. that of the presence of the billboards created to him with any hints of progress or development in the country. they are key rates and snapshots. it has presidents sketches around the top painting it picture of a view their respective and engage. the irony is that both came rooney and so bump bought and with these images every day they fairly rarely get to see the president in this city. so possible couple of these type of presence of the image even to himself is opposite, is not wholly arrow. next, is an irony who didn't charge it to because he's an absent precedent option in

decision making. absent in the management of the country, simply put, this is a courtesy patrol officer to the bush and i've already got you've got to come home to supplement equal workers, the box prep or the label for monday. what he must not do announcing the president has as left the country for a brief privates to you. you don't know what the president i was supposed to wish you would have been faulty. you don't know what has taken him dead. so the news people use for the messages are going to be the same level, someone because when the people but which is shop on trust of what the president is for decades come moving and have seen the president to 3 a maximum of 5 times

a year. they had the official speeches of safety. 1st of december and 11th of february, we make catch a glimpse of him as he lands from a visit. and he may say one or 2 woods to the price as he walks down from the plain . so he has always been absent from the public stage, but we knew he was the uh, people withdrawal that he was alive. that assumption was put to the test last year . nearly september pull be attended the china advocate for him in beijing. even vanished for $42.00 days. not only was he absent, he was delinquent on these presidential duties. he was announced to be at the you and he did not show up. he was announced to be at a conference in front of he did not show up. so this is what caused a lot of debate about whether he was alive or not,

which is the most ridiculous thing for a country that we should be. the big team with our president is a life or not to be i could have ended all of that speculation with the public appearance. he chose not to state his government, the reading, cameron peoples, democratic needs to see p d m band, the countries media from reporting on his how consider the position that projects and then 9 to one year old prison with little camera room for 42. yes. was missing for 6 weeks and they went to not to mention it. so it does show about the level of media free domain coming on. the executive debt spoken the morning on signs on older. it seems to me, does not report about the southern philippines. it's something that is of interest to the people that people have the right to know where the president is,

the people have the right to know if the president is well on way. the media may be banned from reporting on the president's house, but communions know that this days are numbered, and there's no succession plan in place. so sections within the reading part, you have begun to joshua for position to keep their access to state resources. is a power struggle underway, one that is having dire consequences for jim's death from the should of hugo and it was, it was no one wants to leaving that so to leave it. and that is a form of imprisonment. so unable to return to your country, there was never my choice. but unfortunately i had to go into ex though, because of the c. it's better to be leaving an adult here. her last should be funk of the full cheats. it worked as a journalist in cameron and was a frequent critic of human rights abuses, and the pope is kevin in 2022. he was abducted, tortured and left for dead in an attack that many left implying

a year later to to fit the country with his wife and went into exile in jim and of to his friend and colleague martin is so that was all set up protected in culture, and he said it wasn't this date. it was made simple enough to how much music was it goes and what was done to much invisible for society. the cutoff is strong, broke his knees under for some object on his nose piece, but it was involved in public for everyone to see you. also wanting to come on. yes, to show them what can happen to me. so i should say that assume us just because we burn you dick with any problems. i don't mean to necessarily go was a radio journalist. he was carrying out an investigation the on to budget 3 lines of the national budget of cameras that with being completely mismanaged and money being given to

businessmen. businessman, who with ease off in the cdm or affiliated to specific officials in the b a regime for us. it was a signal that elements we didn't come at room and probably pull b as government wanted to send a signal that jen at least have no rights to fit in the business. this of my team is so cool, sense shop across the african content. and eventually, led to us is frames and cliques to decide to launch. i mean, investigation into his day on us out of a may, i will on us as a gone and investigative journalist too, for his own safety keeps his face hidden, leads the network of african investigative reporters and editors when use of. so i

guys made a break, and i sent a team to camera room to pick up with agendas tech next door. what they found was that the documents i gave was using to back a piece came just came from this in full is administration. and they were deep by accident, someone inside the government intentionally fit them to georgia, hoping to take down a rival section. they by media medical names jump. yeah, a new group of things. we know from my investigation that bellinger himself was aspiring to be a possible success of all being so of what our project has done. this will feel the on you was we look into that. my team is over my, it's complex, it's political, it's a case of someone mckinney information 12 league

and probably following up to him him. so unfortunately, martinez so will was caught in the middle of this fight between factions and the investigation really reviews the 2 things that we know as communion. we know we have a 42 year dictates issues. we know that we have governed by corruption and violence . this is what maintains this me position in how long. but in the month to this case, we for the most ex, most of the, for island phones of the abuse that citizens on the going in the republic of the medium a goes jump. yeah. moving, pulling guy and his alleged to come to serious have been charged and so it goes made uh, and on our way to the trial, the don't expect

a verdict any time soon. i'm sure that you're not accountability as being the future of copious 42 years. so for those who challenge the system, justice is hard to come. and finally, a legal case in australia, a journalist taking a broadcast or to court over what can or cannot be set about israel's war, on god's back in 2023. and when that le tooth had a contract with the state funded network, a, b, c, filling in as a morning radio host abc pulled her off the or after 3 days why she had shared an instagram post from human rights watch in which the n g o accused is real of using starvation as a weapon of war. something that abc itself had reported, but seems lawyers argue she was fired over her political views and her race, which a dc denies. one network executive testified for social media posts quote added up

to anti semitism. hers is a familiar story. another journalist being punished silenced for simply re posting human rights advocates criticizing israel. antoinette le tooth is up against it. long legal battles can be expensive. she's been crowd funding to find a way to pay her lawyers an increasing power in africa, josh and most and that is killed. they did use violence in the country that he's russians presence in the central african republic, a stabilizing force, or calculated strategies to dillman this, across the continent. they provide security and they take uranium, they provide security and we take time and rushes shadow and africa phone, which is 0.

the revealing eco friendly solutions to come back to our planet on o g 0 as many braces for it's not federal election. the country's political to write is in bold. for the 1st time since the 19 thirty's, the hard drive is poised for a national election breaks, pushing it's increasingly popular, more nationalistic, less open, invest color and attend water. resistance is still possible. the populace,

a of the party is expected to take 2nd place. people in power, investigate the fall rights, reckoning on the jersey to the the, the, you're watching the news, our life or my headquarters in delphi. and teddy novel gays are coming up in the next 60 minutes, winter conditions and gods all makes life even more miserable for palestinians agencies worn more. humanitarian assistance is urgently needed, is really forces destroyed palestinian homes, shops and roads in the janine refuge account. leaving behind the scenes of complete destruction and deb.
