that's coming up on the media show. which ran for several years.

"i like to fight on social media," and that's a direct quote. is it? 0h. arguments and fighting? you know, sometimes take no prisoners. so i do think there is a component, especially to political interviewing, where you are asking tough follow—ups, and you're notjust treating it as a casual, friendly chat

because the person in front in part by working for itv onjonathan dimbleby�*s with strongly expressed opinions, i think that's fair have their role. jocks".

a very opinionated person. but the type of... not under... i don't agree with that. balanced journalism. means that you take two points of view or two positions republicans and democrats.

but i'm going to come back agreed. i agree. like bbc anchors," right? "we're neutral. we're playing it straight."

i think is valuable. you know, i'm putting my views out there. i'm not pretending i'm something that i'm not. well, hold on a minute. i don't think anyone... and i'm just saying human beings can'tjust switch off now, i'm not saying that that means that you're democratic party channel."

and those are good aspirations. we see that on a whole range of issues, i would say, on the economy, for example. and you are very much making the case for it. the profile you have in the us.

news, essential in the us. but a third dimension would be your digital footprint, which through the 2010s got bigger and bigger. you have one of them, the owner of perhaps the most president.

shows on msnbc. but isn't there a risk, because sometimes i'll be watching a tv news programme, and i'll think, "i can see what they're doing here. "they're shooting for the viral moment," and sometimes it can feel that it's distorting the quality of the output. it can do. it can do, ros. not undermine but... go on. clearly he's trying to go for a certain angle i think you can overdo it. but look, for example, i did an interview with mark regev,

one of my last interviews for msnbc, who, as you know, is a very prominent spokesman for the israelis, most people don't lay a glove on him. would argue i got the better of him in that interview. "no, i don't think so." now, i'm not going to apologise for wanting to create 100%. i'm always conscious of that. what's the point

of doing stuff, ros, that's my approach to political journalism. do you feel a pressure, an expectation that you are going to open up social media? we've obviously all diversified in recent years. yes. trying to. chris hayes, my former colleague at msnbc, has i think there's a very important phrase about we do live in an environment where people are trying

thunberg and owenjones and then putting their content out there and no—one reads or sees it. and you mentioned chris hayes. those of you listening, we interviewed chris hayes that on bbc sounds. yeah. i'm actually in the middle of re—evaluating all of the united states... he called me a dummy. what a lovely word.

a stupid joke that went badly. don'tjoke on social media. it's not what it was. but i just want to dig into this a bit, though. planes crash again." ..in poor taste. yes, i think you're right.

no? with my wife right now. no, i don't. maybe i should. staff's social media posts. i mean, in that context, i would point out that many "0h, he's a terrorist who's 9/11, wants to crash planes." that, as did others on the right. things that other people say simply because of the colour

but it was also a joke that you regret making. it's not something i agree with. but, you know, i left. i was happy that we were able to negotiate an exit for me cable news contract. so i wanted to go my own way and do my own thing,

it was a great experience. ijust wonder... the media industry. that the israel—gaza war and your opinions on it aren't

not necessarily. we'll see. and it's beneficial to both sides. with subscribers, is fantastic for those of us who want i don't have to look over my shoulderfor i'm actually funded by my readers and viewers, a media company with staff, with studios, with shows it is the future. was a kind of trailer for the new business, and it showed you walking into a big tv studio.

because i was expecting mehdi to be stepping into something different and new. and yet the aesthetics of it, at the least, were very yes. traditional news operation? that was a deliberate decision. i think so. yeah. i think there's been a lot of people who've gone they've allowed themselves to be marginalised by the big and i haven't done.

does tiktok pay the bills? no. our subscribers pay the bill. the subscribers? they're trying to expand into other spaces like video. an email newsletter. tens of thousands of whom are paid, that's distinctive it is. am i being lazy if i was to say, and all of those

oh, yeah. yeah. we're not hiding that. solely platforming? three reasons. mainstream tv studios around the world. the media loved her. wejust ran a piece, ros, from a young palestinian journalist in gaza, an open letter to donald trump. we're trying to platform them.

there are right—wing voices in all of those places. or dei for right—wing people at zeteo. it's a great question. we don't hide the fact that we are very mission—driven. is an activist. i wasn't saying that. and i didn't mean to say that about you. i'm just saying in general, this debate which you is then thrown around, ros, as a pejorative, right? "you're not a journalist, you're an activist." look, alljournalists have

opinions, i'm just open people in public life. guests say genocide. around the language they're using, with reference to some politicians, and also with what's i appreciate it's your view that genocide has been committed. organisations around the world

are going to have their own use certain words. yeah. oh, no, 100%. i agree with that. here's what i would say. international human rights lawyers. at international court ofjustice in a plausible way.

view it that way and calling it that way yourself those are two different things. media organisations go out of their way to not even report how much coverage did the amnesty international report saying genocide get? that's why they're coming to places like zeteo, about stepping into the arena when you know how abrasive it is, where you know how competitive it is for attention, where you know

how contentious even on a journalistic career now. me for a take on social media. i would say three things. or editing a piece. a jack of all trades, master of none. i don't have any skills. life depended on it. certain basic skills, especially technological

thick skin of yours. of the israel—gaza war. "guidelines which are "publicly available. " thanks to mehdi hassan for speaking with us. bye— bye. and if you'd like to hear a longer version of today's

hello there, good evening. and it's also st david's day, of course. but it's always cloudier and breezier here, for tomorrow morning. like a stone underneath those clear skies. also, some mist and fog developing mostly across parts morning.

north wales. high cloud than we saw today. of north—west scotland, but it should stay largely dry. here's our frontal, the remnants of it, the cloud outbreaks of rain into north west scotland, but again, we're starting to see these

temperatures creep up. here's the outlook for our capital cities. so more sunshine for many of us, as we head

you're not in a good position. with us, you start having cards. i am not playing cards. you're gambling with the lives of millions of people. a meeting between the leaders of the us and ukraine

hello, i'm carl nasman. after what was meant to be a meeting to discuss peace efforts devolved into a tense, angry exchange. peace talks,and the future of us support for bring an end to this conflict. i have been to... you've come once. i've actually watchedl and seen the stories, you bring them on a propaganda
