the shortest i since 2007 on 2007. now that was the year when the so chilly peaks. well, we're good to russia these as yet, which marks transformation of contain whoever he was at that's on in the schools here. as is, don't percy as a strong leader was capable of leading russia to victory different. so no wonder putin was interested in hosting major sporting events. the 2014 winter lympics. and so she was 1st personal mega project. after the collapse of the soviet union, russia could show that they were back in the game as a global power. and it was 2 twins crown jewels. i was in a brutal range before getting please. deborah, just 54. by the end of the year, to con, mistaking the runs 80 percent. only days after the olympic flame was put out putin

since his troops to ukraine, for the 1st time to annex crimea. russian president vladimir putin casts his shadow across the boundary of europe and russia to night. his troops are holding firm in a corner of ukraine, known as crimea. rushing dealership was much more interested in legitimacy boutique on his leadership inasmuch on the actually the 60, quite a, during the so chilling, based on the world killed the 2018 feet 5 o'clock later agenda monday will be organized in after such booty landed the greatest show on earth, the football will come together, lead us to make sure that food boat promotes fair play. doh lawrence elena is not interested in, but he's very interested in as a consequence list played

a really significant role over his now worked 22 years at a school has actually been a very important instrument of politics as the regime when russia was awarded the well cup in 2010 that plaza was still in charge. a fee from that puts in quickly formed a strong bond with latin, successive johnny infant tina the fee for president of all people became pollutants close ally in 2019 infants, you know, even received the russian order friendship, a gift for a loyal friend. there was several issues surrounding the world cup in russia, from reports of bribery and the bidding process to corruption and the abuse of migrant workers from north korea. but fever and infant tina looked away because they share a common go uprooted, to make the world cup a success with. and that's what they

did when the 1st whistle blew, it was one big party all over russian. everyone was excited about football. amazed by the hospitality in the whole country, some people might label what happened in 2018 is sneaky lation. some people what else? and you call it soft our by funds going to to russian thinking, you know, it's really nice here. i like this country. and what's, what's the problem with russia? i see no issues. and that is the essence of so out. but the world cup to scratch the surface pollutants influence went beyond fever. he infiltrated other parts of football to might mean by the 32 lies i should know the ownership of food clubs and the running. all of the super association is completely dorman, isaac account irish project. all of the big football clubs in russia are either either owned or controlled why major state institutions or upstate

companies, all of which are bouncing ration. take gas prom, for example. a private natural gas company, but the majority is owned by the russian government. guys prompts a co present at saint petersburg in 2005 and made the club a major force in brush and football with gas bronze backings and at one that 1st everly title in the russian premier league. they could now make big money transfers and low international stars from the top leagues to russia. gas prom also had long sponsorship deals with red star belgrade for serbia. and since 2006 was chalka, one of the most popular clubs in germany with a working class mining background, the russian government in gasoline particularly used. i think they used h, in one sense to build legitimacy to build credibility. it was

a form of energy politics or energy diplomacy, ready to coin full as a means through which to, to cover all to distract from what you really doing, which is what it was always. he's try create gas dependency. germany upon russian souls. it's by sponsoring shall, cup polluted and gas from we're able to whitewash their image. while popular figures like former german chancellor got food, a lobby for the company to opening the door for huge profits from oil and gas. germany has traditionally been gas prices, largest customer using gas for electricity and heating in january 2022 alone. germany paid russia 2600000000 euros for oil and gas. and not only germany, the whole of europe has become dependent on natural gas imports over the years. 40 percent coming from russia in 2021. all this help,

indirectly finance the russian army. and putins war after the russian invasion of ukraine shock ended the sponsorship deal, an intense public pressure. but gas prom didn't only target clubs. they also went for the big one. the u wafer champions lead the most prestigious club competition and football, orchestrated by gas pro green light of the football game room, official partner of the wafer champions league. it's reports that god promised paid you if at least 40000000 euros every seasons in 2012. the deal included multiple partnerships with the governing body. it took a war to question and then terminate them. but the damage had already been done. gas from became the brand in european football. people that my question was just kasparov was army champions, league nights. there was a and various other episodes that was also the ongoing conflict in east of ukraine

. you is still signed that the rather than asking questions to put money. and i think the grand lane on this new e 3 east to buy a way to the heart of european circle. and for that matter, woo shapell. and that's what the dates when it comes to money, influence and power. no one beats the oligarchs in russia. the rates businessman not only fond russian football, they also heavily invest in the european gain some of them have close ties to vladimir putin. there was one who changed the modern game for ever by buying chelsea in 2003 lawyers is, you know, i think that was very much a part of a brand which is strategy is obviously made his money in the various ways either the previous decade and he appears like, like a normal football fan and then you see jack in his little small and i just am for

the book war a brand, which i think to enable himself to do what i think also enables russia and whoever he represents within russia to do is just to be legitimize. politics is and always will be part of football. the question is, what kind of politics do we want? we're actually thinking nations. i mean, cats are saudi arabia in the u. r. e 's address. these are not mere oligarchs or independent business people. these, these are purchases and policies that are absolutely central to lation, states foreign policy. you know, if you look at hungary, for example, or try key west states, corporations and site life business people have come to dominate the ownership for who clubs of companies don't wanna be running. all the super association on west

stadium building programs using site money has been a why a funnelling money to plant oligarchs, where find groups often shapes in tracy by the regime and mobilized in support for example, and hungry on sort of antique migrant us that a 5 big one protest, um, so i would say the sort of techniques by the preaching regime was used to control over the years. i've definitely been replicated elsewhere. oh, the beautiful game is at a crossroads, rushes woolforth purple into action, but what would the future look like? we'll football continue to look away when it finally listen to his conscience. i don't care if i'm sure he will not get the chance t ignacio in future richard done as a favor is we're done. europeans will say that because it's now asking very,

very difficult question. good envisaging, a programmer who would massively restrict the power of governments and political agencies to run. ah ah, i am the rain forest. i watched them grow up here. they've left, but they've always come back. yes, they always come for my trees. there would my plans, their medicines for my beauty,

their escape. oh, i've always been there. and i have been more than generous. sometimes if i gave it all. now, god for ever. but humans are so smart, so smart. such big brains and opposable thumbs. they know how to make things amazing things. now, why would they need an old forest like me any junk trees? well, they do breathe air and i make air at a song shoes. so smart bill,

figure it out. she humans making air. that'll be fun to watch. ah, hong kong was once proud of its free media, but the central government in beijing has dismantled most pro democracy media, leaving hundreds of journalists without work among them. chris and jackie. i'm seizing my time to report with our journalist still hanging on and persevering. hightower hong kong was once a colony of the british empire in 1997. it was handed back over to china against the promise that hong kong would retain its rights and freedoms for 50 years. but

only halfway through paging grip is tightening. where does that leave pro democracy journalists? and can they find ways out? who why, why, why it has things? jackie is looking to interview pastors by for report for the anniversary of the t animal square incident in 1989. when china's communist rulers violently crushed protests, hollow law homo. and can i ask you few questions. i tell you, i'll show you some news pictures. then you tell me whether you recognize my bank, jackie has images of the massacre and from hong kong collaboration of the killed students. you know, this is victoria park, but not long after he starts the students teacher intervenes. ok. excuse

me, under teacher. what are you doing? ok, go some of the interview. i feel and if all we got home and sorry, you should speak to the school instead. we are also asked to stop filming. the teacher said that such interviews could be problematic for the school. picked up. someone, hong gave high, going to cause less than a regular room for reporting a walk. not only because of the authorities, but as people are scared, as the terrible team was all become hard to find. so my willing to speak up with her going, you know, for several months now, jackie has been running a one man news platform as an independent journalist. he and a former colleague who now also works independently created this office and there shared flat jackie used to work for the award winning media outlet citizen news, but following political pressure it closed. journalism has always been

a low paying job in hong kong. but jackie is earning even less now. still he keeps publishing his reports for free, hoping the reach as many people as possible. aah! i or the a very few of the remaining local mainstream media doing in the deaf reports of the tenement. even though the annual commemoration was always important that congress call next ego call this censorship leads to blank pages in collective awareness. so you pay higher, my work can help fill those got own car and do all that. i'm going to stay and keep going or quit and leave. this is a choice. many journalists in hong kong are facing chris is trying to find a 3rd route. he's starting a story together with 4 other former journalist, all for media outlets which have closed his well, we had to have everything i'm working on is my 1st try far more for me would work

to painting to decorating. we're doing it all ourselves with help of many or the former colleagues for the whole catch all caught up all built in bookshelves is proving a particular challenge. although it's even harder is finding uncensored books. chris often goes to a wholesaler who sources, goods from taiwan other than local publishers. the warehouse is one of the main places he has found stock. all the thing why hi, we want to shop to be a journalism bookstore i had us. and as a former reporter them, i'm actually also interested in books related to social issues and current topics. and within a couple of us, many books have already been banned or removed from public libraries. and schools and book fairs have also become wary. chris doesn't believe in such self imposed censorship. paula leo whittled seek

a horse. that was how that we won't remove books. aunt probably hoyle lost the job of the authorities. so things are quite dull as long as a book can be legally imported into hong kong. uncle was there shouldn't be a problem. how y'all we um, whole one pipe. ah, in the reporters without borders press freedom index. hong kong plummeted from the 80th to the 100 and 48th place and just one year the drop began after apple daily. the most important voice of the opposition had to shut down its top level employees had been detained under the new national security law imposed by beijing. not long after the largest pro democracy online outlets. stan news saw their top editors arrested under sedition charge it to had to close. many outlets followed suit out of fear. hundreds of journalists found themselves out of work. those charged could face years in prison.

jackie has kept on reporting and people are watching his video and the gentleman massacre anniversary on his platform. but one user comment has jackie worried? the user said he'd report the video to the national security police the way i'm only good all on regardless of whether this happens or whether it's an empty threat solely. you mean the stresses me and makes me feel threatened? and it is because i have to bear all the consequences alone without the cover of media outlets. anything high draw nowadays. and hong kong journalists are surrounded by red lines and there are no more gray areas for violation. that's also why i choose to work alone level, so i won't implicates others it upon the all wheel . and it is clean and exhausting year old funds whenever a journalist was arrested in recent months. when i went to film at school,

that's my way of healing. my sense of powerlessness goes on all over the past year, dozens of small new media platforms covering various topics have been launched by former journalists. most however, decided to quit the press industry. here we go. after a decade, long career as a journalist, it's the 1st day of christmas, new business, a bookstore dedicated to journalism. the. this is their 1st member will be on books. there's also a small improvised museum to remind for your days. memorable headlines and important from pages many from media which had to close. this is a press kit of the hong kong hand over ceremony. one of the pieces donated by senior journalists, please hold on. we left jobs as reporters for the high,

but we took that step reluctantly to have you know, hard, we're still, but the industry's going to want to have more, and we hope to promote some journalistic values in another way, with this bookstore. why don't you home? you can prove media literacy means people will not be deceived by what has been running on the news now. we tysons see or hear something, a height voice by the whole lot. they need their bookstore. have a nice stay on the very 1st day, the little shop is bustling with current and former journalist. many haven't seen each other for a long time. some had been under arrest me several objects, remind them of the good old days. like this desk which comes from a now closed newsroom was on his arm. chris has a tattoo of the date when stand news had to close. look at some of the most

heartbreaking moment for me was when a colleague, i know well was arrested right in front of me. both the walk and i get things that used to be completely normal can now land you in jail for me. it's systematically destroying the diversity of our press. it makes me pessimistic as there seems to be no room for debate any more. i couldn't be long. chris had seen his former job as a lifelong calling. he's now changed course, but he's holding on to his values. i think it's about the pursuit of truth care reaching body. whoever carries this core value. could be a journalist, even if he or she is not actually working in the field of courtroom. oh, it's about conviction for us down in my heart. hello. got that. i think i'm still a journalist. got sick, a total hike. june 4th, the anniversary of the 1989 t. n m, and massacre. usually the commemoration was held in this park to day it's been blocked off. i leave now or you will be charged on my

on security authorities in all of china or on alert to day and past years. thousands gathered here. i hope in del casey i, i'm not expecting a lot of demonstrators this time. i've either wilson important activists have been arrested anyway. she'll be both. i see, holla, what he mo, looking to see on the street, jackie meets a former stand news journalist who's now also working independently the where will your video appear? i have a youtube general. i hope some day it'll be self financing. ah, it's hard. my page is bringing in about the same as a fresh graduate level income. but at least i can work with a clear conscience. just some blocks away. a few brave activists are protesting out

in the opening. i thought, oh golly oh, oh journalists back of it. oh, oh, is all you get not covering. this isn't an option for me. then i may as well stop reporting it. oh, why when fall, how it's important for the governments to know that we're still watching but especially independent journalists are at risk. humans, yoga hold on is that see free speech? highland free media lead people to speak up gone. they bollinger joe was. if we don't try to keep going him, if we fall silent voluntarily. uh huh. we have lost them done. well, we all got it. ah, when jackie 1st started working as a journalist,

he was taught that this was the best place to photograph the vigil to day. there's no one back then. he would never have guessed he would be working under such conditions be, i don't like those. i see how independent journalists are having to fill the gaps here with all the but that only works one part at a time. which makes it harder for the public mom. well, i like, ah, they have to put the fragmented information together to see the big picture. we journalists have to reinvent ourselves in spite of the risks will, wouldn't goal. but our ideas and courage. i see that everywhere bmo most journalists expect authorities will impose even stricter regulations. nonetheless, jackie says that for now, giving up isn't an option for him. these

places in europe or smashing all the records, step into a bold adventure. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of europe's record breaking sites. oh you do too. and now also in book form. so you want to know what makes a difference if you just did the john love and batting stuff away from that. but i'm not even know how to work my own car. and everyone was laid. holden every single day. just getting a you ready to meet the germans and join me writes us, do it on d. w co. mike speaking, how can this passionate hatred of a people be explained? a gold top? where does it come from? come also that the history of antisemitism is a history of stigmatization and exclusion of religious and

political power. struggles in the christian christianity wants to convey that is why christianity you like the figure of the jew as the parent, similar to sla, it's a history of slender of hatred and violence is the bodies from then on the jews were considered servants of evil. we simply told you about the most atrocious chapter under, within 6 years, a 3rd of our people were exterminating $6000000.00 jews, like microbes to be annihilated, cope even 77 years after the holocaust hatred towards jews is still pervasive. a history of anti semitism starts july, 2nd on d, w. ah ah,
