the how many laps do they have to complete the 60 minutes? d. w. what secrets? why behind being discovered new adventures and 360 degrees and explore fascinating world heritage sites. p w world heritage 360. now 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. you want to focus on the freedom of expression and the young people who are fighting for the voice.

so yes, what's coming up with me? it's kind of rude and journalist paul should talk nearly died after being up the doctor and beats into a polk and asked you to be to find out why journalism and kind of room has become a life and death effect. and the spice of the high stakes involve some reports, se they won't be inflated each one of them in south africa, the freedom of the press to do deal with is a cub know part 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 mountain. this symbol, my own clique medium muscle was put on trial for head reports and the todd this way . let's a drop box on this on most us. lucky. last the demo list. post utah was

kidding up and totally assaulted by people who have been still being identified. but why does this happen in the 1st place? and one and some of you might find a story disturbing. this is the scene of the attacks here come already enjoying 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 literally up to the sea, follows that there was a motorcycle that took him 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 truth had documented and published pictures

of his injuries, this was not the 1st time he was a text, but it was the most brutal in he still carries both the physical and emotional sconce. 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 is there is, there is also, uh, psychological trauma. what was you? french, 100 and 38th on the world press freedom index. kemah rude is rated 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 watching a silvo 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 a the, to martinez, if you know how he died, you can imagine this that i was into when i was found, they took my coats, i was negative and given much each, miss martinez had to eat his own faces, right? they took all of this clause away. it is the same kind of thoughts i went through because i was just like, this is officer. so files by passing the cheaper to to it continues to search for his attack cuz he wants justice. meanwhile, government authorities insist that the country is safe for journalists, but recent events prove otherwise. now generally as live shoot top, hold the pull the government and come are willing to account. and in doing this they gave you formation. that helps you and i took control of our future. unfortunately, since the staff of this year, 2 journalists have been killed and 3 remaining to income everyone. industries, street debate gladys see day and half panel,

and don't want to delve deeper into come i was shrinking space for free speech and meet the young people who see that in spite of all these telling just a one stop reporting, the video to the welcome everyone in this edition of the 77 percent, we are in young to the political capital of cam a room, a who is said to see good news of all we ask you to discuss the issue of freedom of the press in the country, which on the most report being assaulted and tortured, many of them in prison, in jails across kind of really also be sold to industrial. hey, don't this you. that's why they all do come to holding. this is been my push it duplex don't listen to both to, to who has an experience to share with us. he was imprisoned due to his work. as a journalist, going exhausted, he said, do say false. you, you have to tell us what happened. you'll see in 2019 i was in prison on abducted

overnight, but police officers in plain clothes too heavy with those a warrant or any pass someone's injury. oh, rules were validated to start off with. i spent 2 years in prison on went to trials 27 times. and in the end that was condemned to centers that are already been determined upon my risk. okay, put it as google, but when would you tell us what you were accused of as a general us digital 90 and look, i'm always tentatively, 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 found that through text in question one, not even mind. i was a political prisoner what i should get focused on please when you're 40 to 3. i mean, it's not turn to dennis of bob 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 don't, didn't want to tell us. do you think journalists are safe income really to come home in the camera? rooney and press today,

but if you read the headlines to trans can be observed. we probably note that there is 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 the communion press into a form where a certain number of conflict of problems and of let's say social concerns are conveyed, but we condemn it. we re credits, but that's the landscape of suppressed today. a maple cool, why a journalist being 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 believe it was due to an investigation, i can kind of determine this on who's seen as a freight team and that's, that's all a notes. 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 this context where 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 to these out 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 the other 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 c u, a trade unionist as openly acknowledge problem. so tell us as a trade union, this can be the general as grievance as to the ministry of communication. for

example, in what reaction did you receive as close as the host? you see so volley for a while for sending me the book with 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 journalists and camera room whose rights were violated. out of the 157 of them have lost their lives in atrocious condition. sit, oh people do that. you don't to call the soap tools, the shuffle, and every time such a case as 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 closer to overtake, of course 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 internal 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 when deputy producing the gods. that's what it went down and one 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 read or the press is a construction where everyone must be able to play their role. the government plays its role. you can say that when the government apply such measure as the presto to represent anything, but the problem arises in the way the profession is exercise. ok, so i don't believe there was a police officer behind every journalist in cameron. 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 it's still see what's available to you. yeah, exactly. all please will know these don't feel today what do you expect from the camera? rooney and government with nick is still able totally pools on the body. 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, the plant will come on, don't enter this bit it did not lead to any results. my complaints will never had any way this. i'm so you understand that silence rules. it must be said that we

leave, you know that the environment you know, so when you 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 prospected now. thank you paul. cho 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? particle who did a place to go? i understand the grievances of the press sometimes that the press feels threatened that the press it needs more state protection. if i don't agree with my brothers utah 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 conflict tool field. it's a trajectory with many pitfalls and it's to everyone to play their role as much as the state is expected to do its job. journalists are expected to do. this is only together that we will be able to build a society of freedom,

a society of democracy because that allows the vehicles things to see that you be interested in requesting. see the most loved ones. the 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 get a story see on those. so how can we automatically 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 the on bushy city, the only way i have to defend myself. i keep walking because i know that i am 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. i'm going to show this. 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 incoming 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, then a list implement level, much of 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 have for cuz presidents are 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, the advocates without power. well up to at least 10 hours a day. because most developed economy can not keep it's lights on it as calm the state on power utility generates most of its electricity with the fleet of aging calls quiet policy. patients in the country is called about the province of them from a longer. however, these politicians are breaking down an unprecedented treat journalist implemented. and then once you find that he is reporting from the corporate and investigated the underlying causes of this crisis. in contrast with the belief that the issue, same fully form and talents problems. once you find that, i guess that the brute force nice into like to be to within the energy sector. so we're looking at a plex site. this is where we've figured out that most of the concepts happen to

escape. this is where the bedclothes gets mixed with a good cold. and the bad 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, at full quote, block 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 test, infrastructural breakdown, and criminal activity have become so run punch the depaul company estimates it loses about $50000000.00 users every month. kevin blo, janet list and editor at one of south africa's 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 2 clinics 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 a meant out of out of decent because dispute is backed by former c e o of s come on 3 days rita, who left the paul you to see after claiming that the members of national government are linked to for criminal cartels operating inside s. com. so these full got 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 crying. well, on people and people get assassinated and them from a longer data 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 therefore is a difficult and dangerous one level 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 a slope. 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. from us, you find to upholding truth and demanding accountability 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 getting into touch with black cock now sold is becoming a feature is going to power stations president sort of them up also has authorizing deployment of $880.00 members of the so that they can national defense schools to safeguard the stations in of this bridge, move to the gain control. the military has been dispatched. despite the presence

this indicates persist in expanding, dec would fall in love with depaula economy in the province. they have established a network of legal cold lines leading to detrimental effects such as water and the air pollution was gonna forward with ation. posing severe threats to the local population, the better slip petals this cold mind is that is not the benefits in the community or 1st month because this will to is one time you need it. and they said that they have to the l. b as quick as know they us the funding on from site enough that they us live funding from for them types of asthma, they ask for funding from i the last i know that people are paying off the policy and we need to at taking precautions for his own safety must be finding adults and embodied lifetime never lingering in one place for too long. however, he's also aware of the impact he's walk can have in the past, is he also to story shutting lights on an easy coal mine located near

a residential area? we had talked to gus is well being released and checked after he's still he was published, the site was 50, 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 definitely 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. the fed wanted investigation into what is happening. the why is mine is happening 500 meters from people's houses. why is bluffton happening today? and why has it been smoke? and the chemicals been out for more than 4 weeks without any action intake of it's a, it's a tough roads to traverse. but we,

we must do it in a corrupt and struggling economy with the weekends 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 so far in this program we have been talking about really heavy stuff. so now let's take a deep breath and toys. 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 of this report, but 1st, to show us the goods hideout and places to visit her as active as sylvia into boxing. the hello everyone. my name is sylvia and i am an activist. i'm also the found offices

which was the bill to honor the post colonial emerging of british and french colored as a post colonial structural. so that's why i really, really like it. it's a reminder of the colonial structures. as a reminder of colonialism, it's a reminder of the pain we went through as a people with the color noises from past to present young is colorful and always happening. much like makoto here you can find anything from me to questions of copeland that's the best, most importantly the spices for coming rooms. so we have a mushroom, a condo in the owner, and i really, really liked this market because it's a representation of the house of mind to bustle incoming room. that's right, coming in as well known for its diverse and often spicy dishes. i'm really very hungry. now, so let's go grab some lunch. sylvie knows exactly where to satisfy her hunger. the cause of luma restaurant. so let's dig in

bone up at the city by the way, what have you got there? so i took some for, for an arrow, and i think this is especially from decided with the region that i really, really like so good. this is just the tip of an iceberg of what you would find where you uncover and after tasty lunch. what's left to do, right? a high golf course to find a quiet spot for a breath of fresh air. sylvie takes us up, launched a b, one of the 7 hilts. here we are at the mall for the hill. and as you can see, the beautiful view of your own d. this is so much and if you say that i will take a moment, took a deep breath and enjoy you. and what's your next option? because i'm waiting for you in your own is please come see only i'll be waiting for you. thank you. bye. i talked to what kind of room being with right, that's because it sits on the equip. uh and as a result it gets a lot of reading for. so that's why i shall fall this week. i hope it has inspired
