the i was a middle color. i didn't know what has messed on this one. now i know the never ending story of asbestos in 45 minutes on d. w. these places in europe, our records stepped into a venture. it's the treasure map for modern globetrotters. discover some of us record breaking site on google back youtube and now also in book form the welcome to the 77 percent. the platform for advocacy. you to talk about the issues that are important to us. but what happens when you're right to talk is surprised. i am michael t n on today's program. we want to focus on the freedom of expression and the young

people who are fighting for the voice. so yes was coming up with me. it's coming in during the list. paul shooter nearly died after being up the doctor and beats in to a fault in our street to be to find out why journalism and kind of ruling cause become a life and death effect. and despite the high stakes involved, some reports, se they won't be inflated between each one of them. in south africa, the freedom of the press to do deal with is a cutting all parts of a need double crossing. it is important to draw attention to the grievances that directly affect you and i didn't come at room. you could be killed for exercise in the freedom to that is what happened to journalist, montana simple. my own clique, medium muscle was put on trial for her report and the child this way, let's

a drop box on this on not us lucky. last year, journalist polk utah was kidnapped and brutally assaulted by people who have been still being identified. but why did this happen in the 1st place? a warning, some of you might find a story to step in. this is the scene of the attack. come meridian during the list and which will blow a pull to, to was kidnapped while watching a football match at a nearby cafe. on the admin, forced him into a cart and beat him up, brutally. he says they wanted to kill him just some little i up to the sea, follows that there was a motorcycle that's for jim just around the corner. that's when they left and drove off to home and they were convinced that i was dead or should just before that they told me they had a mission and told me to say my last breath when you talked and say your last pray i, you know that means he supposed to die is still trying to find out who wanted to kill him. so far. no one has been arrested as evidence of childhood,

documented and publish pictures of his injuries. this was not the 1st time he was a text box. it was the most brutal in he still carries both the physical and emotional scarves. mr. moseley sees a trauma for life when i pass the display as i get flushed bucks of the time. why young ladies? even as guy here on the left side of my face, my, i still suffer from the post traumatic lakehoma. and apart from that injurious, there is also uh, psychological trauma, seclusion, french 100 and 38th on the world press freedom index. kemah rude is rated to one of the least free countries for press worldwide. investigative journalists like po to, to often suffer from oppression by law enforcement. he already spent 24 months behind boss for alleged defamation. his friend and colleague martinez soto,

publish documents about government corruption. he was killed at the same spot, which was what was left, look at them and they did the same thing to me as the, the 2 materials. if you know how he died, you can imagine this that i was into when i was found, they took my clothes, i was negative and given much, each on this martinez had to eat his own faces, right? they took all of these quotes, so we, it is the same kind of thoughts i went through because he's always disliked these offices. so files really bypass the super childhood continues to search for his attack cuz he wants justice. meanwhile, government authorities insist that the country is safe for john list, but recent events prove otherwise. now, journalist live should hold the pull the government and come are willing to account . and in doing this, they gave you formation that helps you and i. so to control or future unfortunately, since the staff of this year to general is have been killed and 3 remaining to income. everyone. industries, the street debates gladys see day and half panel,

and don't want to delve deeper into come i was shrinking space for free speech and me to the young people who see that in spite of all these telling just a one stop reporting, the video will still welcome everyone. in this edition of the 77 percent, we are in the under the political capital of can the who is a to see cause of old. we are here to discuss the issue of freedom of the press in the country, which on the most reports being assaulted and tortured, many of them are in prison in jails across kind of route and they'll probably be sold to industrial, hey, don't this you. that's why they do come a whole know it's been my push it duplex don't listen to both to to who has an experience to share with us. he was in prison due to his work as a journalist, go into existence. he said, do see false. you know,

how cool kind of what happened. you'll see in 2019 i was in prison on up knocked it over night, but police officers in plain clothes too heavy. um and we built a lot on or any pass on a rule. so a validated to start out, we and i spent 2 years in prison on went to trials $27.00 times. and in the end that was condemned to centers that are already been determined upon my risk possible. okay, put it as google, but when would you tell us what you are accused of? as a journalist is showing that he looked i'm always that not to be a complaint was filed by mrs. kelly's the right to accuse me of defending hot, full social media on and on, but the allegedly defamatory text in question one, not even mind. i was a political prisoner what she did just relate to empties. when you 40 to read. i mean, it's not 10 to dennis of but who is the director of national media observatory at the ministry of communication in kind of route? i mean, because you don't. ok. mahoney. i don't, didn't want to tell us. do you think journalists are safe income really to come

home a lot, plus in the camera, rooney and press today. but if you read the headlines, this 2 trends can be observed. we probably note that there was a very strong instrumental ization of the press today, which is taken hostage by a certain number of lobbyists, by political and economic forces, which have unfortunately transformed, become a reunion. press into a form where a certain number of conflict of problems and of let's say, social concerns are conveyed. we condemn it. we read credits, but that's the landscape of suppressed today. would be a nipple cool. why a journalist been killed the keystone to assess, he knew only been one of the right country squared gentlest glories on issue became afraid to damage it when it's under this report about the mismanagement of public funds. it also i have to take it to an investigation, i can kind of determine this on who's seen as a freight team and that's, that's all a no, it's all you. all right, and let's also note that report us without borders has observed

a sharp decline in press freedom income, a room in re send. yeah. hers i need, i don't know. so crystal, you became a journalist not too long ago considering those contacts. were you ever attempted to give up and do something else all seem like it's true that at some point i felt the pressure from my family a good job for i'm often when my father was here that a journalist happened mother, he would call me and asked if i was really show of my decision to become a journalist and really it's gary's a white most of the bill. no, paul said our role is to remind the public of the government's promises and check if they are being can i speak to it? look, see, or fremont if we do our job and are seen as a threat to the power there's a problem. well, yeah, probably. yeah. problem to do, did have you do? so there is a problem according to crystal. they'll also trade union speaking up for genesis, and that's the case with t. i think you're a trade unionist as openly acknowledge problem. so tell us as a trade union,

this did, you can be the journalist grievances to the ministry of communication for example. and what reaction did you receive as close as the host? you see, so volley for a while for sending me the book. what do you need? a lot of courage to raise certain questions. perhaps before listing the various claims we have made, i would like to briefly point out that between 20192023, we've identified 15 journalist and camera room whose rights were violated. out of the 157 of them have lost their lives in atrocious condition. sit okay, would you like me down to quote you so tells the shop floor and every time such a case has surface, we have to come room, journalist ray, do you need have always taken a stand to challenge the government on the issues of journalists, protection, and working conditions all the time, and there's really gets cold calls today. what do we want? we would like to build a society with the press of parking development instead of a press that simply accompanies and applauds everything the government does. it is

important to have an intellect cooter who can hold up a mirror to come a room in society and challenge the government if they're headed in the wrong direction. can serve as a custodian of society for the part with deputy put them put the seem to get that's what $11001.00 interlocutor t as a could be and is the supervisory ministry, the ministry of communication, i come back to you, then this does the press play, it's real or 4th power incoming room. is it possible to really give this power to the press in this country or allow that place to also be in the presence of construction where everyone must be able to play their role. the government plays its role. you can say that when the government apply such measures the presto to represent anything. but the problem arises in the way the profession is exercised. that hopefully if i don't believe there was a police officer behind every journalist in come around, i don't think so. i'll conclude by saying that there are certainly difficulties. yes. we talked about the case of marching, ne, and other cases, and we must be careful to keep in mind questions of common law there on names that

have been cited by a number of journalists. they weren't and present because of their reporting, but because they were involved in other things. there's always that zillow, sorry for the long answer. i will conclude by saying that i think the gloomy picture that is being painted does not reflect reality. even if i understand and share the perspective that the exercise of this profession and come a room is not yet what the government would like it to be so cool down the most with the liking. so for shoot, that was to, to look after your release from prison income a room, you continue to work as a journalist on itself. see who's available to you? yeah, exactly, all occlusal melodies. don't feel today. what do you expect from the camera? rooney and government with nick is still able to play pools on the body. and we could wait for these government to act, but you have to be objective unrealistic because you know, i have been assaulted at least 5 times. and every time i have 5 complaints with the police and in court, the depots in that plant look, i'm on, don't enter this, that it did not lead to any results. my complaints would never had any way of this

. i'm so you understand that silence rules. it must be said that we leave the deadly environment when we will say something that doesn't suit the system, you will get beaten up. so there is a kind of demo class for the hanging of your head was participated. thank you. paul . jo task and on the side of the ministry of communication, do you understand the grievances of the journalist? what should be done to ensure the safety and what should be done to preserve this profession and come a room? is a component who did a place to go? i understand the grievances of the press on that that the press feels threatened that the press needs more state protection. if i don't agree with my brother shooter who claims that i don't mean what i say or that we aren't doing anything, we intervene in different ways to provide support and help journalists. but freedom is a conflicts rule field. it's a trajectory with many pitfalls and it's up to everyone to play their role as much as the state is expected to do its job. journalists are expected to do this. it is

only together that we will be able to build a society of freedom, a society of democracy because a lot of the vehicle students will say to you about it in to see if they did the request for the most loved ones. but finally, according to you, we need to find a middle ground between the journalist who must do the job well and the ministry which will a company to kind of slowly see on those. so how can we ultimately achieve freedom of the press was called to, to, why do you pursue your work if you feel your life is in danger, z at don't, don't she? city is the only way i have to defend myself. i keep walking because i know that i am secretary my us as we say, walking with my coughing and we'll say, what else do you want me to do this up here despite us, we must not given to fax. we must commit to us as to what the french portray slept my ground comb allowed if we did not change our environmental environment, kind of what changes. that means you have to fight for things to change that going back because it shows the shows. thank you. so that was a very heated debate. do not hesitate to leave us a comment or send us a message to share your opinion. that's it for to date on the topic of freedom of

the press income the room. see you soon, you have to the being a journalist myself, i know that it takes an incredible amount of bravery to keep reports and especially when you're likely to be harassed, assaulted, or even killed. so thank you to all of the journalists who joined us for this to beat your resilience. it's inspiring. now you can watch a longer version of this to beat on. i youtube. also check out all the social media platforms, especially tick tock. now inside africa, the analyst implement level must be funding has spent the last couple of years explosion rocked in the countries electricity sector. this work has helped the country understand the problems that have led to the cost on waves of pockets. let's find out more. it's now south africa's presidents around the pose that has

declared a national does all stuff how it got through affecting people at home on the roads at work to in the past few months. as calm has been rationing power in stages. what stage 6, being the highest, those needs thought advocates without power. well up to at least 10 hours a day. because most developed economy cannot keep it's like, own as calm the state on paul utility generates most of its electricity with the seat of aging calls quiet policy. patients in the countries cold belt the province of them from a longer, however, these politicians are breaking down to an unprecedented treat journalist implemented. and then once you find that he is reporting from the corporate and investigate to the underlying causes of this crisis. in contrast with the belief that the issue came fully from and talents problems, once you find it, i guess that the brute force nice into like tv teeth within the energy sector. so we're looking at a black site. this is where we've figured out that most of the concepts happened to

escape. this is where the fed cole gets mixed with a good cold, and the fed quote ends up if government a good call ends up somewhere else. a lot of the problems that we have right now caused by these quotes that are happening as a result of the corruption. that's how much you find is investigations. expose that money just at the pol plants walk together with criminals, to steal their own, quote, actual quote, black sites, policy call for the power plants is exchanged with me, a rebel. while the good quoted is sold, the rebels severely damages the politicians, cold, pest, infrastructural breakdown, and criminal activity have become so rum punch that the poll company estimates includes is about $15000000.00 users every month. kevin blo, janet list an editor, a tunnel, so tested because permanent national newspapers, joint forces we must,

you find that in conducting this investigations according to bloom. the cold swaps just one testimony of the growing entanglement of politics, the organized crime, infiltrating even the highest echelons of power. but what i can talk about is a pest move racketeering after the t fedex that extends across the province and the plains to not just political interference from the highest levels, but it's political patronage political back to senior politicians who are making the payment out of out of the syndicates, this view is booked by former c e o of s come on 3 days we talked who left the pol utility after claiming that the members of national government, a link to the full criminal cut held operating inside escal. so these forgot dells of quite sophisticated as far as we can tell,

they are well organized. it's interesting that they've adopted the language of the mafia. so people are called so which is, and they have a hit squad, allegedly between 60 and 70 audi trying well on people. and people get assassinated and them from a longer digital has since left the country and legal actions against the endemic corruption in the provinces has faced significant challenges due to the loss of police dockets and evidence of the model we sold. louis, this makes the walk and life generalist, and this also is a difficult and dangerous one. low as far as i'm concerned, is a national here. i mean, it's like it's and dangerous for me. well, for him, it's perfectly dangerous. perfect. and there is no. does rita also expose that the mafia deliberately damages power plants

to gain lucrative maintainance? construct, draining ever more public funds and intensifying the paul crisis. the full must be fun. upholding tools and demanding a code debility is the only way out of this vicious circle. the media has proven that we, we are most often the, not the last line of defense in a democratic system. we sometimes power can go unchecked and fix it. and, and we've seen what that can happen. um, if you, if you look at what is playing out in our country right now, you know, we're, we're almost uh, on the brink of, of, of, of going into to the black cock. now, soldiers are becoming a feature is going to power stations president for the pole. so has authorize the payment of $880.00 members of the suffolk and national defense schools. to safeguard the stations,

this bridge moved to regain control. the military has been dispatched, despite the presence, the syndicates persist in expanding dec on the phone for depaula economy in the province. they have established a network of illegal cold lines leading to detrimental effects such as water and air pollution as one to 4 declination, posing severe threats to the local population. the better so the touch of this cold mind is that is not the benefits in the community or for those months because this what is contaminated and they said that they had to the l. b as big as know they also funding on from site enough that they us live funding from for them. types of asthma they ask for funding from i rush. i know that people are finding of their policy and we need to at taking precautions for his own safety. must be funded adults and embodied lifetime. never lingering in one place for too long. however, he's also aware of the impact he's walker can have in the past year. he also does

story shutting lights on an easy coal mine located near a residential area. we had toxic gases were being released and checked after he so it was published. the site was physically shut down. the site is now under rehabilitation. that's, that's just one testament that shows the impact that the media can have. um, no matter how difficult you think the story can be, it can have a big impact. because like i said earlier, there's people who say no more, it can go on like this. we need to take this parent. and with this story, it was part of this put for the community on mineral resources in energy that didn't want an investigation into what is happening. the why is mine is happening 500 meters from people's houses wise bluffton happening today. and why has it been smoke? and the chemicals filtering out for more than 4 weeks without any action intake of

it's a, it's a tough roads to, to traverse. but we, we must do it in a corrupt and struggling economy with the weekend government. unable to address the nation's challenges. truth and accountability becomes ever more important. but sure, claiming power from the mafia and restoring it to the people want to be an easy task. now sofa in this program, we have been talking about really heavy stuff. so now let's take a deep breath and tell you i wouldn't be the capital city of come a room. by the way, did you not have come the room is one of the west test countries on this? i'll tell you the reason off of this report, but 1st, to show us the good high adults and places to visit her as activist sylvia into boxing. the
