rides across the country is part of the trump administrations mass deportation plan, which is also targeting work places program and spoke to an undocumented worker in california. the central valley about the fish she says is gripping her community. what's it like to be an undocumented person in donald trump's america? then they moved to wiley hunter and documented farm worker with a 5 year old child lives in a constant state of fear. glad. oh, see, think the middle of course. yes. i am very scared. in fact, ever since the rates begin, ever since i came here in code county, i'm always scared. and when i go out to the street, i look around everywhere. she asked that we not reveal her identity for fear of being detained and deported in the 1st few days after the january rates. she says she didn't go to work in the citrus gross, but she had to go back. but, but okay, you're thinking we tend to see that how many needs and the fear, well,

my needs are greater than the fear. my son, if i don't go out to work, i won't have anything to feed him. she says her son was born in the u. s. and is a citizen, being separated from him is her greatest fear for the family me. it's that i will be deported. and my son will be left alone by me because i don't have close family here. those fears are shared by the estimated 1800000 undocumented persons in california alone. these other people, donald trump, calls dangerous criminals, being undocumented here and no means being afraid to go to your job. afraid to take your kids to school, afraid even to leave your house. hi. alejandra tries to keep her fear hidden from her boy. look, i think what's the number, what she does ask me a lot. why don't we go out to the park? why don't we go out to the mall? i tell him tomorrow. right now we don't have money already. the whole community is

on edge. bobby, i'll come ah, a naturalized us citizen, runs a small restaurant. she says she's cut her opening hours because customers are staying home, then establish their scan. they don't know what they're going to do. there are a lot of people who don't want to go out even pick their children to school because they're afraid that their parents are going to be taken. and that's what's affecting everyone, not only economically, but emotionally as well. it's affecting me a lot, a suffocating cloud of dread, over a region and the country rob reynolds l g 0, bakersfield, california, as well. that is also may tell him the price and the moments you can find much more information on that website. so that's how to say, we don't come. the news continues up to the listening posts, which is next. stay with us. the folks is in europe's launch. the economy are heading to the polls with the far

right. expected to make is the biggest gain since the 19 thirty's. the german election could restrain your state without a 0 for the latest updates on in debt financing of the german federal election. what's with donald trump's fixation? on south africa? we looked at a geo political story with multiple angles to running from the cape of good help to the middle east. the occupied westbank, the tactics, the is really military as important from gauze. and the news outlets in israel acting like sheer plus syria, the post outside the era, fake news, and the dangers of this information. it is hard to keep up with all the executive orders coming out of the white house these days. so we've decided to pick one of them and to dig into that story, donald trump has signed a directive, stopping all us for an aide to south africa,

and offered refugee status to after congress, white south africans, many of whom were complicit in the system of apartheid to extensively trump a poses a new law, the expropriation act, which gives the a n c led coalition government the power to expropriate land under certain scenarios, including land owned by after connors, the order also accuses the government of fuel in violence against racially dest favored land. owners trumps talking about white people, farmers, the south african government disputes. those arguments says they're based on misinformation and propaganda will get it that where that material comes from and how it is made it onto a news channels in the us and beyond. the other angle playing into this story south africa also happens to be the country that has taken israel to the international court of justice projects since taking power. once again,

donald trump has been taking shots across the bows of so many countries counted. why should we be subsidizing mexico? is people from jails from through mexico. china makes this and gives it to mexico, denmark over green. and now, so the south african situations, very dangerous, is tremendously bad things going on and certainly including the confiscation of property with a stroke of a parent. and then executive board, trump ended us for an aide to south africa and pay the way for offer connor's whites of africans to resettle in american to the order accuses the amc lead governance of using a new law. the expropriation act to discriminate against white farmers and confiscate their life. it also alleges the government has fueled disproportionate black on white violence in that farmers land. taking to his platform of choice

truth, social trump call that a story that the radical left media does not want to cover the irony of it all. it's an executive order drawn up by the trump white house that is based on fake names. when trump talks about expropriation close at confiscation, confiscation is when something is taken away without any due process without any compensation, that doesn't happen in south africa. no. expropriation is quite a normal legal process. the governments around the world use and the south african constitution requires just and equitable compensation. so in the way of hyping this up, donald trump, is also other in south africa as if we do not have the kinds of legal frameworks that are equivalent to those both in north america and elsewhere around the world. if you look at the data in 2023, there were 49 murders related to people who work on these farms right. in total,

south africa had almost 30000 murders in 2023. and you have a very homicide rate. some of the people killed will be white, some of them will be farmers, but there's actually very little evidence that they're being targeted in that way. or the rates of ions are particularly high actually dot to terms knows that much about so that frequently even kids that much about south africa, specifically the spacing chains wide diversity base. they would probably identify with a mythical white drive being on the street in the master calendar, black government to politically. it also ties into arising writing populous discourse that draws on fields of black spheres of muslims is of immigrants. and this is part of these agenda as to punish of africa for taking israel to the international court of justice. and also part of south africa's riveting towards russia, china and the brakes. and its response to the trump administration's moves, the south african government said it was concerned by what seems to be

a campaign of misinformation and propaganda are for, for them probably play the part and n g o launched in 2006 to defend the interests of offer, connors, it is led by a former politician, cali creek, who admits apartheid was wrong, but still denies. it was a crime against humanity. air for, for them started making inroads overseas during donald trump's 1st term and often having used social media to spread its message, planting the notion of a white genocide in south africa. it found some willing listeners in washington and be off to a faster the insignificant story. the media have all but ignored among them. tucker carlson and fox news in 2018. i could for him, i think recognizes that it operates in a very small space in south africa. and it has taken advantage of the rise of right,

3 elements in europe and in america, south africa does of baptism this lazy journalism from the main stream. so it was a strategic we saw them where they recognize that the world is changing a little bit so we can find some allies having the last yeah. 3. what about roughly 84 from that is and they started attending these global writing conferences coming to capitol hill to lot be people who never even stepped out of the state and they don't know what solve that for you guys like aaron. so it's a wonder if they need is, has a piet at c packing hungry friends with me to open and other writing need is. so this would be an active campaign of this. now they are denying culpability. acting very surprised that this disclose of is, demonology, has been appropriated and taken over by trump. but when they were doing all of this, they were bragging about this on social media. deal on mosque has been using his platform and presumably his growing proximity to donald trump to choose this story

. yeah. he's been spreading statements online by opposition, figures like julie as malayna to make the dubious claim itself. africa is a white genocide in a way to the some of my name is views are indeed reprehensible. but his party is not even part of the coalition government. he is just the tool that must use is to drive the narrative of white victim. throughout the portion of this story, the spectre of neighboring zimbabwe has been written and the racially driven, sometimes violence land grabs. that took place there 25 years ago. you wanted to be here that's not even close to what's happening in so far. although more than 3

decades after the end of the parts are white still on more than 70 percent of the private farm land, despite making up just 7 percent of the population. if we just go back to the realities on the ground, the people in south africa could do face the real risks and reality of being rented homeless and lenses are black people who are being evicted from funds. black people who have no place to stay in the city, but all of this is ignored and it's good when somebody with the power of musk, with the power of trump, all of these groups managing to dominate the headlines, even musk was brought up in the process of africa as a white child in south africa went to white's only school. he would have been indoctrinated into the whole apply to logic. the issue here i think, is also part of the, the way that the media is framing this. often the types of testing to that sort of

a, as in a. busy big populace disclose around a white genocide around the world. yes, it's political, but i think we should also be careful not to throw the baby with the bathwater or it's not like there is no such thing as a fire. murder is a doctor that doesn't exist as an issue. the main thing that we have to be worried about is politicizing these topics, right and exaggerating them in ways that are designed to help certain political factions, the media can help the plate, the anger, resentment paranoia around the visions by just covering them, covering them fairly. right, so that demagogues can take advantage of these issues and kind of load them into reports to more aspects of that executive board, one of which was included, and one that was not. it's cited south africa's quote, aggressive position against israel at the i c j accusing them. definitely. yeah. who government but not from boss of janice. that's not quite the fake news. it's just actually misleading. because that court only has jurisdiction over states. it

has no power to issue rulings against the political organization. like some of the parts, the executive order left out of africa is a member of breaks the growing into a government mental economic alliance that offers itself as an alternative to the g . 7 blocks led by the us with talk of trade, war, skin and on the air. the trump administration has chosen this moment to send a message to bricks. the smallest and economically weakest member states. just looking at the traditional partners of bricks, brazil, russia, india, china, from sides of close to me and, and all of that. so that, that doesn't really belong there. but the bricks partners recognize that it was important to have it represented because growth can be found on the african continent to saw that it could be contained as strategic edition. but i think from the united states point of view, they recognize that saw that the guy is the smallest economy that and so that

presently one that took the style to the international or to of justice. what is also at stake? it is american stuff, power, domestic lead time might. it might be a short sighted short term game. but all of it is the recent studies show that that is a rising and to american, an interesting sentiment. nothing in south africa but african more broadly if we are as sounds africans and resilient people and we will not be bullied. and this moves and the demise of american softball is likely to play in the hands of those that want to see diminished. and so i think at stake here is very high risk. political do political cabinet. $5.00 is real self described counter insurgency in the occupied westbank escalates by the de one minister in the nation. yahoo government is demanding the occupied territory . be given the cause of treatment and he's being helped along the way by some

leading is really news outlets. ryan coles is here with more, as bad as the most recent is rarely offensive in the west bank has been with our strikes, killing at least 25 palestinians ground forces destroying entire neighborhoods. according to finance minister, that's a little smoke church that's still not enough. he's calling for the guys, if a cation of the west bank a good, you know, would you by the yeah, sure. the old one of, yeah, 4 weeks ago is really forces launch operation. iron wall targeting was, they describe this terrorism this past week. they storm part of the newer shaun's refugee camp warning residents over the loudspeakers to leave with his rarely soldiers firing bullets and sound. bar. firewall represents a significant escalation in both scale and intensity, destroying the central services, reading homes, and preventing a central medical assistance. roads have been destroyed,

including one to janine government hospital, the west banks only public health care facility tactics routinely normalized in and encouraged by israeli media outlets as much. it may not be such a colorful de soto thumbs to told the view. come up as i'll be with a visual one for months is rarely officials and pundits have argued that the war on gaza was a response to the october 7 attacks. but now that they are calling for similar tactics in the west bank in the area that had no direct involvement in october 7, that argument falls apart and smoke church. one of the leading messengers and this offensive knows the west bank. well, he's in his really set. what are there? thanks right or less than 3 months ago with rebel forces closing in on him and the capital damascus, siri and president bush shot, i said, fled for moscow. since then, our transitional government has been installed, a new president appointed coming out of more than half a century of totalitarian rule under the asset family. this is

a momentous time for serious the authorities. they are had crushed political discourse. a culture of secrecy and suspicion permeated society and the legacy of distrust can be difficult to get past. move on from information is now ricocheting around the country that had been under the grip of a dictator. misinformation and this information are ramped as well. and anyone looking for accuracy in reporting does not have it easy. but listening posts mean actually robbie. now on one of the challenges facing serious transitional authorities, how in a country still taking its 1st steps into a new era? do you tackle fake news. ready ready ready ready ready these are distressing images desperate families in city as green said, now i'm in a tree prison, a name, a place that was shorthand for the industrial scale brutality of the thought of katy and i said family,

distressing images and doing provided last year of to city and read those to open prisons across the country as a broken and also distributed these distressing images. and one of them is not from said naya, it's not even from city. we have seen a lot of a i generated images and fake images and isn't images that were from the vietnam museum of 4 that were published online as images from a said lawyer. you know, before december said denial for so many syrians was this dark topic that we don't know much about. and then this very dark, secretive space. it became open to the public. there was lots of confusion around, you know, what people were seeing. and this was particularly the case in the early days, just off the assets have sled, and these revel groups had entered into the most because there was a stream of this on misinformation. it seems

a particularly valuable to bad information and considering what the country and its people have endured since independence from central and 1946. it's not surprising. after the declaration of the city and republic, there was more than 15 years of political up even close ministry easily. and then a hot done in the early 19 sixty's when the bought by the lead by members of city as minority. all white muslim community established a political monopoly. the last to the right up until december, 2024. the defeats ship of general, and then president tough is the side. so the transformation of syria into 2 talented in please states. in the 3 decades of his royal city and sold the in position of most surveillance, repeating of the countries, various communities sending muslim, christine drew's. she on the scene and the codes against one another. the state dominated all communication media, the intelligence agencies known as the macabre standardized citizens,

especially critics. they would disappear and says, torture extrajudicial kings of political opponents, lawyers join, use human rights campaigners even just ordinary people. when bush auto left side succeeded his father, the reviews of hope that there might be some reform. however, scooped by the mobilization of city and political and civil society. but shot on a sub crackdown with a philosophy that resulted in italy, which was even more despotic than his fathers. when the out of uprisings of 2010 and 11 spread like why 5 and the agent, city and stage, some of the most impassioned demonstrations, the push back from the team was booted and the country descended into a bit of civil information welfare was rampant made was by the involvement of numerous foreign players, it on russia, the united states and its allies to key and various side of nations, got to 2024. and having consolidated bid with northwest city a, a group of heavy factions, led by i have to see that sean and the commander in chief. that shadow mounted to

push that moved at incredible speed and led to the shadow sides of the we disintegrating in december. since then, the country has been in a state of heightened devotion, exhilaration, trepidation, nice anxiety and confusion. information is feeling like never before, and much of it is underline. it's kept, i'm a female, the founder of a group called verify city, a incredibly busy me or not. i'd be there on numerous misinformation campaigns that took off after the fall of the serial machine. one campaign for instance, portray siri as having deteriorated so much that things were actually better during bush on an ascent through the other campaigns, target minorities and syria spreading false information that otherwise most names are being targeted and killed solely because they are other whites or the christian churches are being burnt down solely because they follow a religion other than a slam. there also campaigns aimed at the majority, suddenly population saying that the new leader for the shuttle has pods and all

those who participated in killing sundays, including senior members of the said the machine for me, syria. and today i asked myself who's survival depends on pro, on getting the conflict with survival depends on prologue during the war. and the answer here is for us to have the syrian government officials who are terrified open accountability process. and then you have the businessman and the warlords, who have benefit financially from this conflict. people tend to not only believe but the circle needs information that aligns with fair pre existing anxieties and fears. one of those ceo's has been how transitioning presidents shut out and the h d. s, which is needing the current government in syria. we deal with the countries many minorities decades of sick data and suspicion. much of it fed by the se, and is often diseases in storms. these concerns also the history of the h t s,

which is largely sunday and was born out of a group created by the islamic state and then event ice. it carries its own bag in the days off to the phone, as i said, a video zipped around the country. it showed the burning of an allied shrine by each the fighters. the video was months only, but it was being shed, as of the incident, had just a good sense of tremulous through the country. what was really interesting about the example of the shrine is that the incident was taken out of context. and again, we've seen lots of this happen recently. a lot of these examples of being resurfaced from the past i'm being attributed to hate to yeah, so other smaller groups in syria, it became so prolific that the new ministry of interior felt the need to put out a statement and ensure that they, they cover fi to hundreds, by the video of the attack on the shrine, inflamed sectarian tensions in syria,

as it spread online. we so many protests take place. we saw other words take up arms and other sex particularly sundays, did the same in an attempt to confront and suppress them. at this kind of chaos seem to have been the aim behind sharing this video and other video verify. cdo was amongst the 1st outsets to fact check the button and try and video. the group is one of the most active and credible sources of information on the country. they get the funding from american and european sources, both governmental corporate, the name, the key donors and sponsors when the us and said they will be publishing the list on their website soon. a city is one of the most complicated places on the planet right now. navigating it is hot, little militias act us out to create trouble. there is the confusion in head and in this moment, which tons of room into news into consequences. very fast. and little even journalist who can do serious damage to russia funded media. the plug it into cd

a in december was cnn, and its chase international correspondent, clueless award. the story of us as prisoners was a global interest and would find it afford cleaning to witness the scene of a detaining. the institution was that he was a prisoner of conscience as much as my are both hands within hours of going on. beautiful, which was getting time. what people were seeing didn't seem like journalism, verify city around the report to it's fact checking process and revealed the discount at the in what space was a former intelligence officials who worked with the center sheets and the side of the with that see and then report it was very clear, there was something wrong with it when we had verify, watched it 1st and foremost, the syrians and secondly, as far as the check for human with the flu. we analyzed the video and by analyze, i mean we watched it the frame by frame you for them by so that we sent out the

link to the report along with key questions to our colleagues in syria. we wanted to know who this person is, why they were arrest, where the video was taken, and what prison is this. all we did was ask additional questions. is clarissa award, someone was just started out in journalism? know she's covered many was as clear as award or cnn has any prior incidents where there's been a sense that there's been a bit of a settlement. i will not answer these questions. i'll let the audience answer that cnn should have admitted. they will admit that they contributed to misleading the audience and people lodge was a shop syria today as such, shifts and things topic and everyone wants to ride on syria on jail is on the country on the minorities. i would really hope that during this, before they publish anything to truly go through effect, check in process and understand that there is a lot of this information happening within the country. and the future of syria

will depend and will be shaped by the information we choose to believe and she was 13. and finally, back to washington were caroline 11th. donald trump's new press secretary made a point this past week of telling journalist their access to the president was a privilege, and by no means assured that nobody has the right to go into the oval office and ask the president of the united states question. that's an invitation that is given love. it said that just after the white house blocked an associated press reporter from attending an event. because be still referred to the gulf of mexico. and it's reporting rather than using trumps new term for that body of water. one that he recently made up golf of america. now donald trump likes to play favorites, flexes political muscle, and he is not the 1st president to do that. what is unprecedented, however, is this 0 tolerance policy? the white house now has when it comes to terminology,

the president does not like news outlets have style guides for what we call things the terminology that we use. and there is a lot of thinking that goes into the more thought we would, that then the president put into the term gulf of america. the in depth analysis of the day sidelines is lebanon's ami capable of keeping the peace both internally and externally informed opinion. the united states investing in the redevelopment of jobs, the, i think would be a great idea. but again, if you propose to remove the people who actually live critical debate is the freezing of us a id in line with these goals inside story on how to 0 connecting communities. what would you like to see it happen for a new syria to emerge?

is no way we could live in the country again. where is i see it is for displacement is part of our presence. opening up the conversation representation methods. we haven't had the best representation of africans. so for us, it's about solving that putting to representation pockets with fresh perspectives from lesser heard voices. the stream explores the key issues of our time on algebra . i've always known that my mother was miss panama, that you know, she's fabulous. now that i'm older, i realize that this isn't just a story about my mom. this is a story about my country. why in a country, very 60 percent black country that was built by black people. why would anyone doubt that a black woman could represent the country? why is it panama that ice market into the world's the panama? that is to reflect the backs to the panamanians. why is it so light skin?

why is it so rich? and most importantly, how did we get here the to the president's been very clear from us cannot continue as a military or government force doubling down on donald trump's plans for gone. so that us secretary of state's mates with israel's prime minister in west jerusalem. the, i'll tell mccrae this is they'll just hear a line from top. so coming up despite the ceasefire and gaza is where it launches an s tri county, roughly killing 3 palestinian police offices. your panels.
