to tens of thousands more trapped inside and that was still a lot of people left and scam centers to what the victims of human trafficking tormented under electrocuting time along the long board with me and my time police and military have setup checkpoints checking like these banners and tied chinese and english, one of the dangers on the other side. but despite these efforts, a steady flow of people still getting across. it's estimated around a 150 people traffic didn't every day. so we don't have large numbers like that coming out. so those numbers are definitely increasing within the compounds here. china, it's been trying to exert pressure on the scam centers to close last week. the national energy provider and thing coke shut down, electricity supplies to a number of areas in m a where scam centers operate. but it isn't enough people to run these scam compounds. these, you know, these criminal centers, they are really good at adopting challenges. they're,

they're really innovating solutions to problems that are thrown their way and on the boulder. it's clear, little has changed despite thailand's best efforts. there's no shortage of electricity here. you can hear loud music construction noise, the normal bustle of a city. and that's no surprise. law enforcement agencies say this place is home to criminal enterprises. the generate billions of dollars every year. and they're not going to be shut down the flick of a switch. tony soldiers watched from the darkness, is the notorious city of sweet coco's little night. this is the hub. the scam is operating in the area, but with no jurisdiction. the criminals across the river just out of reach tony chung, out to 0 on the time. yeah. and my boat in north korea is tearing down a symbolic facility at mount come gun results with families divided by the korean

war. once we, you know, i showed off to decades of pod souls unification, ministry has condemned to demolition cooling as an anti she bought a terry act that it knows the wishes of separation families. the move comes of strong gang labels, south korea, a hostile stage, the ministry bowlens that's considering legal action and will seek international support. thousands of people in china have gather to celebrate the ancient lent and festival, which marks the arrival of spring. it is traditionally held on the 15th day off to them during a new year. invasions has dogged districts 10000 lanterns without the knowledge as crowns gathered to make wishes for prosperity and furniture. that sent to me, elizabeth put on, but stay with us on an island to sierra. the listing post is coming up next. thank you for watching the trump's agenda. it includes everything from tax cuts to integration,

but how much is real and how much is bluster? is it runs footprint across the middle, the shrinking, the trump administration is wing options to end the rest of your brain more. but what does it mean for euro? a quizzical look at us politics. the bottom line 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. steve, this is the rebranding of syria's rebel leader. turned present. will expand the test and see who's age must not be that cameron's presence is in his attempt exec data flight. this is that gate in time. it is an alarming moment in us politics planning 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 deporting palestinians. even american politicians have described that as lunacy. the president has given a long must qu, port hundreds of millions of dollars into trump campaign, unheard of access to sensitive government data and key institutions. he is re shaping federal agencies or just tracking them down, project vital social programs for americans and slashing for an aide, 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 moving trade wars with america's 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 are crazy or radical 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 is 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. alleged his reading work, criminal meets convicted americans, 7th 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 so 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 also sees by idea will happen. whether that reflects trump not really giving across 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 letting me test 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 protecting these organizations, absolute right to edit material as they see fit as credible reporting. but cbs is in talks to satellite case with trump. 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 or 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 weights, mosque is brought in help from silicon valley. young tech graduates finding out across various government departments accessing all. busy kinds of private information about american citizens and who knows what else and elected citizen and

a bunch of kids who are not old enough to run to call a now take you 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 hangs 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 any 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. there are times that 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 helped 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, of you 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 will ever dump others. when reuben model is tied up in the office, telling him presumably, and is not gonna help us help the economy help the bottom line 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 along, this is

a president who both intimidates the media, but is obsessed with the means 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 due to the previous cutting costs for the 1st time. we gave an interview to a local news channel, syria, tv, the main pro opposition channel. during 13 years of civil we'll definitely just need to look on my the locker a. so i'm going to shut out. 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 out that some through the, 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. those 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 cameroon, 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 and 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 the cameras capital, that one day is just dominant images. that of the presence of the billboards created to him with any sense 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 parted with these images every day. they fairly rarely get to see the president in this city. so if 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. option in the management of the country. simply put, this is a colleague, catch all of which data shifts i've already got. you've got to come home to supplement equal workers, the box prep, or the labeled warrant for monday. what he must not a do. another thing the president has as left the country for a brief privates to you. you don't know what the president has both originally looked and phone tree. you don't know what has taken him there. so they named boards and use the phone and they said, cheese on it for, for going to the same level. someone who cares 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 see one or 2 woods through 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 people withdrawal and 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. he's been vanished for 42 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 have considered the position that projects and then 9 to one year old prison with little camera room for $42.00 . yes. was missing for 6 weeks and they went to not to mention it. so it does show about the level of media a free domain coming on, the executive debt slope in the morning on signs on older. it seemed to me just a little bit 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 next as a form of imprisonment. so unable to return to your country, it was never my choice, but unfortunately i had to go into exile because of the c. it's better to be leaving an adult here. her last should be funk on 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 so 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 much unnecessary. eagle 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, what is all 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 be 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 with across the african content. and eventually, led to us is frames and cliques to decide to launch. i'm investigation into his day and this out of a may, i will on us as a gone, an investigative journalist too for his own safety keeps his face hidden. he leads the network of african investigative reporters and editors. when use of sega has

made it break, and i sent a team to camera room to pick up with agendas tech next door. what they found was that the documents that was using to back a piece came just came from us in pulp is administration, and they were jeep by accident. someone inside the government intentionally fit them to jager, hoping to take down a rival faction made by media medical named jump. yeah, a new group of things. we know from my investigation that bellinger himself was aspiring to be a possible success of all the so of what our project has done. so 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 mountain this case, we for the most ex, most violent 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 mer to at all or rates of trial. but don't expect

a verdict any time soon. i'm sure that you've got 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 gods, 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 ukraine a father front line. a mother and children. ken this time of the seas future. when the sky is full, the size is without and the decrease escaping the dog with outages in examining the
