5:30 pm
a dominant cane al jazeera at the german shots 3 rights groups of raise concerns about the safety of migrants deported from the us to panama. they are being detained to the hotel in panama city, and a shelter in the dangerous darting and jungle region on the border with columbia. so i'm from countries that refuse to accept deportation flights for america, panama, as governments has agreed to take them in and organize every penetration migration go as a sending them home. could be dangerous. julie getting on it has more now from mexico city of how the conversation has shifted in panama to the legality of what's going on. there's. 5 some 300 people who are now detained in this country where they have committed no crime. and there seems to be no legal roadmap to what comes next for them. which has, of course, prompted a civil organizations to point out the fact that this is in flagrant violation of, of several international and national laws in panama. the security minister of the
5:31 pm
country has said that these people aren't detained, that in fact, they're just being held in order to protect them from of potential human smugglers . that map may want to take advantage of them. and i think what we're seeing here right now is uh, the initial fallout of these agreements that the trumpets and administration has made with several countries in central america, which includes what am i la costa rica, i know salvador during a recent visit by us secretary of state, marco rubio was announced that all of these countries would take bag deportees not only of their own nationalities, but rather, you know, the parties from all different nationalities and there was no legal roadmap. there was no more further explanation as to how this process would work. what would happen as we're seeing right now in the case of panama, with people that simply refused to voluntarily go back to their own countries, citing security concerns? would they remain detained? would they be offered asylum in the country that they arrive in? now today it's panama, but certainly in the coming days and weeks if,
5:32 pm
if these flights continue. i think we'll be seeing several similar confusion taking place in these countries as well. julia got the i don't how to 0 mexico city. the royal burial side has been on covered in egypt. it is the 1st since the famous discovery of choosing condoms team in 19901922 advanced equities with already says it's found the ancient to move a king took most. the 2nd adult was discovered near the valley of the kings, and lux, or in southern egypt took nice live nitty 3500 years ago. the antiquities ministry has cooled, the discovery, one of the most significant archaeological breakthroughs in recent. yes, a fascinating stuff. does it remain and drop anymore or what's cool? so in a website i'd search comments address. got more news coming up here. now the 0, quite often we've visits the listing, the
5:33 pm
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,
5:34 pm
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 congress. the order also accuses the government of fueling 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 that where that material comes from and how
5:35 pm
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 is taking israel to the international court of justice for genocide. 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 deals from through mexico. china makes defense and gives it to mexico, denmark over green. and now south africa, the south african situations, very dangerous as tremendously bad things going on and including the confiscation of property with a stroke of a parent and an executive board. trump ended us for an aide to so fast and pay the way for offer connor's white self africans to resettle in american. in the order of
5:36 pm
accuses the and see lead governance of using a new law. the expropriation act to discriminate against white farmers and confiscate their land. it also alleges the government has fueled disproportionate black on white violence in that farmers landowners. taking to his platform of choice truth, social trump called 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 fixed names. when trump talks about expropriation calls that 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 news and the south african constitution requires just and equitable compensation. so in the way of hyping,
5:37 pm
the soft, 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, and there were 49 murders related to people who worked on these farms right. in total, south africa had almost 30000 murders in 2023. and you have a very, a 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 are being targeted in that way . or the rates of ions are particularly high. it actually dr. terms knows that much about so that frequently even kids that much about south africa, specifically the spacing cheese whites of i q base. they would probably identify with a mystical white drive being on the street in the master calendar. black government to politically. it also ties into a rising ripening populous discourse that draws on fields of black spheres of muslims is of immigrants. and this is part of phase agenda as to punish of africa
5:38 pm
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 to partner 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
5:39 pm
be off. well no, a faster the and significant story the media have all but ignored among them. tucker, carlson and fox news in 2018 were offered 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 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 and looks good. so we can find some allies starting 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 states and they don't know what south africa is like aaron. so it's a, one of they need is, has a kid at c pack and hungry friends with me to open and other right we need is. so
5:40 pm
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 jews. 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,
5:41 pm
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,
5:42 pm
even musk was brought up in a process of africa as a white child in south africa went to white's early school. he would have been indoctrinated into the whole of parted 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 center phobic populace disclose around a white genocide around the world. yes, it's political, but i think we should also be careful not to throughout the baby with the bathwater or it's not like there is no such thing as a fire murder. and so i doubt that it does 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 deflate the anger and resentment paranoia around these issues by just covering them, covering them fairly, right so that demagogues can take advantage of these issues and kind of throw them in a report to more aspects of that executive board,
5:43 pm
one of which was included and one that was not. it cited south africa's quote, aggressive position against israel at the i. c j accusing the national yahoo government, but not from boss of genocide. that's not quite fake news. it's just actually misleading. because that court only has jurisdiction over states. it has no power to issue rulings against a political organization. like some of the parts, the executive order left out of africa is a member of breaks to the growing into a government mental economic alliance that offers itself as an alternative to the g . 7 block led by the us with talk of trade wars in 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 parts of bricks, brazil, russia, india, china,
5:44 pm
from sides of economy and, and all of that. so that, that doesn't really belong thanks. but the bricks partners recognize that it was important to have it represented to because the roof can be found on the african continent to saw that they 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 is what we went that took it out to the international or to of justice. what is also at stake? it is american stuff, power domestic, the trunk 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 installed africans 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 but one to see diminished. and so i think at stake here is very high risk. political do political cabinet,
5:45 pm
5 israel 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 bet. so i'll smoke church, that's still not enough. he's calling for the guys, if a cation of the westbank you got to do is, you know, would you by the office or do you send the old one up? 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
5:46 pm
refugee camp warning residents over the loudspeakers to leave with israeli soldiers firing bullets and sound bar. iron wall 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 call. i sold the total thump of sold view come up as i'll be with the official ones for months is rarely officials and pundents 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 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 settler. there,
5:47 pm
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?
5:48 pm
do you tackle fake news. ready ready ready ready ready these are distressing images desperate families in city. as jim said, now a ministry prison, a name, a place that was shorthand for the industrial scale brutality of the authoritative of family visa, distressing images. and even provided last year of to city and read those to open prisons across the country as the broken end of this, truly these are 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 even 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,
5:49 pm
secretive space 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 had fled. 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 that last to the right up until december, 2024. the dictatorship of general, and then president tough is the other side. so the transformation of syria into 2 talented in please state. in the 3 decades of his all city and so the imposition of
5:50 pm
must surveillance repeating of the countries various communities. so name was sim, 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 they might be some of the forms. however, scooped by the mobilization of city and political and civil society. but shot on the side track down with the philosophy that resulted in italy because even more despotic than his fathers, when the out of uprisings of 2010 and 11 spread like why 5 in the region, 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
5:51 pm
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 off my bed shadow mounted to put it moved at incredible speed and led to the shadow sides of the disintegrating in december. since then, the country has been in a state of height and devotion, exhilaration, trepidation, really anxiety and confusion. information is flowing like never before, and much of it is underline. it's kept, i'm a female. the founder of a group called verify city are incredibly busy for me or not. i've, even if there are numerous misinformation campaigns that took off off to the full of the serial machine. one campaign for instance, portray siri as having deteriorated so much that things were actually better during
5:52 pm
the shorter sense route. i've had other campaigns, target minorities in syria spreading fault information that otherwise most things 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. they're also campaigns and that the majority suddenly population saying that the new leader for the shuttle has part 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, i'm 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
5:53 pm
fears. one of those ceo's has been how transitioning presidents shut out and the h d. s which is leading the current government in syria. we deal with the countries many minorities decades of sick data and suspicion. much of it fed by the us as regina and is alternatives in storms. these concerns also the history of the age to us, which is largely sunday and was born out of a group created by me is long state and then event. i see cavities its own back. in the days off to the phone of us had a video zipped around the country. it showed the burning of an allied shrine by each diaz fighters. the video was months old, 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 see lots of this happened recently. a lot of these examples are being resurfaced
5:54 pm
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 flight 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 on the watch take up arms and other sex particularly so nice. 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 be off and said they will be publishing the list on their website soon. a city is one of the most complicated places on the planet
5:55 pm
right now. navigating it is hot, little militias act us out to create trouble. there is the confusion in heading in this moment, which tons of room into news into consequences, very fast. and little even journalist who can do serious damage to russia flooded media. the plug it into city in december was cnn, and its chase international correspondent, clueless award. the story of assets, prisoners was a global interest and would find it afford cleaning to witness the scene of the detaining the institution was. dixie was a prisoner of conscience as much as my are both hands within hours of going on. beautiful, which was getting done. what people were seeing didn't seem like journalism, verify city around the report to it's fact checking process and revealed the discount added to in what space was
5:56 pm
a former intelligence officials who worked with the center sheet 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, we analyzed the video and by analyze, i mean we watched it frame by frame you for the invite, but it, 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 prisoners this all we did was ask additional questions. is clarissa award, someone was just started out in journalism? nope. she's covered many wards as clarissa 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
5:57 pm
a shop. syria today is such shifts and things topic and everyone wants to write on syria on jail is on the country on the minorities. i would really hope that journalist, before they publish anything to truly goes to 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 choose to keep. and finally, back to washington, we're caroline elaborate. donald trump's new press. secretary made a point this past week of telling journalists 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 questions. 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
5:58 pm
that he recently made up gulf 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 folks is in europe launched the economy all heading to the poles with the far right expected to make its biggest gain since the 19 thirty's, the german election could reshape your state without is there for the latest
5:59 pm
updates on that phenomena of the german federal election i have the right to boycott, anyone i want to and the state has no business getting involved in that was just opening my annual contract from the state of arizona. and i was rather shocked to see this 3 part series excludes the implications of us and people who called lowest for freedom of speech and 1st amendment. brian got chosen and blessed us because we protect israel. i'm going to continue to do on a state level all that i can't support that one on which is era. the
6:00 pm
prompts agenda includes everything from tax cuts to the integration, but how much is real and how much is bluster? is it runs footprint across the middle. the shrinking, the trump administration is waiting options to end the rest of your brain more. but what does it mean for your a quizzical look at us politics, the bottom line, the hello, i'm set these a that and this is the news out live from dell coming off in the next 60 minutes. the bodies are full kept. is there a ton to israel from garza? my size they would kill buys, ready bombing. donald trump criticizes you. cranes. presidents process launches
6:01 pm
attacks from kids to odessa. 1220 largest economies made in south africa, showing little unity on the future of gospel or ukraine. and use so you all makes history for the wrong reasons for coming south. korea's 1st isn't present to appear in criminal.
