i was curious from last year. i mean, we'll see you, we are, we're satellite us technology from russia that could offer you something else. new york people ballistic programs, even me, it's new never pulse or re which seems you only have me here is for us to strengthen the tongue. i'm certain for the billing. that's all for now. the staging for the news, i see i with the rest. but magic coming up next is one use on dw dot com. i have you monica doing? yeah, thanks for your time. the the

because the cool. cool, great. but it's just me of the 50 the news coming up today, a nobel prize winner wins a fight. some cold water bottle is not trip over for doctor john. there's plenty of rest. so who has just been acquitted on tax evasion charges in the philippines. she tells deed up, no, that's an organization stuff. despite its ongoing legal challenges, the big one still hanging over our heads is the court of appeals that the se, decision that of good essentially shots traveler down at any time. so we continue

to do our jobs, but it's saying that we're fighting for our lives. and later in the program, the rebuilding of the deputies floods in boxes. the local and g. o is reconstructing people's homes using climate friendly materials. the hope is these houses in which time the new flux calamity, the liability expanded. you welcome to the new news, a sure glad you can join us. for the beans. gold has acquitted nobel peace prize when nobody ever saw in a funny tax fraud. case filed against huh. and the new sites you founded roughly the rest of it was cleared on similar charges 9 months ago. she has long maintained that she and rep level targeted for the critical reporting on former president, on the vehicle to test or replicate close the follow detectors both to put down on

the lead, the drugs that left thousands dead. the test is divisive. 6 year time ended last year, he was succeeded by fed man bone bone marco's junior, who has framed himself as a mesh. so, uni file 3 guys. and joining us now for more of a mother in law is nobel prize laureate and rep to see you, maria rest. maria a very big day for you. how are you feeling? a great, well, you know, nervous last night but this morning my co founder and i were in the court and a relief. this is the 5th, the last of the 5 tax evasion charges that i faced along with rapper holdings. and now it's gone. it took a long time, nearly 5 years, but now we've proven our it since that we've been acquainted and these were charges brought against you during the road trigger detailed to regime. do you think you

were essentially being targeted by the detect the government? i have long stated, this is political harassment, an attempt to intimidate me and wrapped blur from doing our jobs. this journalist straight, when you create a climate of fear it's it's, it goes beyond the chilling effect it became siberia, except we decided to push back. and because we did, i had 8 arrest warrants within 3 months in 2019, by the end of 2019 i had 10. so out of those 10 criminal charges 8 are now gone. and there are 2 left. one is the cyber libel case that's now with the supreme court . the 2nd one is essentially been remanded back to the prosecutor and then the big one still hanging over our heads is the court of appeals the the s e c decision that could essentially shut rattler down at any time. so we continue to do our jobs, but it's saying that we're fighting for our lives, given via the way these 5 tax evasion cases have gone on how you're going to create

it and all of them are you hopeful that the other 2 cases that i left the online library, curious if you are fighting and then the closure order against rep law, these are potentially also be dismissed and maybe they'll be ruled in your favor. as you know, i've learned that nothing is for sure until that happens. but i think what we've seen under this new administration is a far more a greater respect for press freedom. we'd certainly been now allowed back into the palace. we've had cool duties. our reporters can report, which is actually a great thing. and then we've seen the chart of just go away, it's just been slow. it's drained our resources, but we can continue doing our jobs. i go, i suppose the short answer is really that, yes, i remain hopeful. it is still far from perfect. but rule of law, just as seems closer at hand,

you did the color lifting of fear under the got into the dream of uh, knock us, do you really mean that the price is for young now in the philippines. then under rodrigo detector, i think let's say that the bar was set so low that the media, the journalist were under such attack. like i said, it was beyond a chilling effect. we were under siberia, you had the largest television network in the philippines, a news room. i used to manage a 1000 journalist strong. last it's franchise, right? that's like bbc losing its franchise. and that's on thinkable, the last time that happened was in 1972 little raps. there were only about a 100 journalist strong, you know, we've maintained, we've continue the fight, the phrase, we use this, we hold the line for our rights and we're still here. and will continue doing our jobs investing the last day you had said that a win 459, bucko sonya, what's more this information?

not just in the philippines, but across the world when it comes to elections. has that happened? is there more of this information now? in the philippines, for instance, it's different in the philippines today, right. the attacks against me you're online, are more strategic. they're distributed denial of service attacks that began around december 2021. and then there were toxic back links, s e o driving news organizations down in search. but, you know, in terms of globally, we've certainly seen a rollback for news organizations all around the world, especially with the, with the rollout of general did a guy in november 2022 will more this information come out during elections. that's what we're starting to see. that's the fear in the elections that are critical in 2024, 2024. according to our data will really be a tipping point for democracy. you're going to have taiwan in january, indonesia, the world's largest muslim population. in february. you're going have perhaps

british the u. k, will have canada perhaps, and then the you. and then of course, the united states, if the patterns, if the trends don't change as they are given the, the kind of corruption of our information ecosystem. when lies spread faster than facts on social media, and now you have large language models generally the, i not basically weaponized thing. it looks like our loneliness. well, we have no idea what to expect during these elections. elected going back to the philippines and friedman macros. junior is the kind of president of the philippines and advocate for press freedom. he says he is, and i hope he puts his words into action. what measures do you think need to be taken in the philippines to ensure that the press can do the job properly and that democracy is actually served as well. we've certainly seen an improvement. you know,

let me just talk from raptors perspective. we went from being banned from the palace, our reporter, in january 2018 along with, with myself. you know, i'm not even a reporter, but we were banned from the palace. and then every single reporter, over after through 2018 was banned from anywhere near president detector. all of that changed when ferdinand mark costs became president again, wrapped or had access. we were part of the pool at many times, being the pool reporter in the pool camera. and that's the 1st access was there. i think the 2nd thing though, is that you still have attacks against journalist. you still have journalists in prison, french you make him feel is, was 23 years old. when i, when i gave the lecture the nobel lecture in oslo, she is still in prison. and of course you have the main person who is the sample of president detected the dialogue. he says, seen that sample on. she used a political example. this is sen laila, lima, former senator laila,

do lima who spent most of her her term a senator in jail. she is now in her 7th year starting her 7th year in prison. so there's still a lot to be done. but is it better? and the last administration, not even a question where you live with the, for the time being tech, someone concerning us today. what are your risk? so the climate change induced flooding impact. hassan effected some 33000000 people across the country last year. more than 1700 people lost their lives and some 13000 we're in good schools, health centers and people's homes for washed away in the flooding. some parts of the country are still under water and heavy rains and the earlier part of this. yeah, i added to the suffering in southern part is dawn. how about a local in general is hoping to make

a change. it is helping people build the climate prison and homes using locally source materials, but also climate friendly jump out. and her family lost everything in the 2022 flats. they were already struggling with property in focus on southern center programs losing that much house, meet them, dispute, and homeless. 6 months ago, the family worked with the local in general to construct this new home. a letter i'm not finding that into the was standing here of the same support to find me, but it was washed away by the floods. got it, forget me. states and it was all ruined and became debris paid on the jewelry of land gave wreck to the plastic tongue to take shelter the more well to augusta and that some of the took shelter and their own jews. but the house is a basic heart like structure,

me to be found bu straw's life and clean the construction with the environment, the least sustainable training program run by the n g o d, just people how to build their own checked us. is that a month? i have made around $1000.00 houses so far with lots of people coming to us saying that they would also want to have such houses who could build them. this houses the construction material called equivalent of $87.00. that's $110.00 per house, meet with cement, like, and savings for poor people struggling to rebuild their lives. the devastating floods in a did a 3rd of buckets done destroying more than 2000000 homes. let's do what we have to understand. we are working for the poor. it says got to affordable. secondly, we have to understand that whatever you bring to outside with all of your, my final expensive and gone, because you've gotta make affordable housing at the end,

you have had to construct $55000.00 houses for the items home was built before the flats and was left standing prompting many in the area to copy its design. partly to do that, we left the village. when the floods came, when we returned, the house was still standing. but critics point out the government, tricity, and homes are not expandable to urban areas. the violets may be very suitable for a completely looked at it, please. it is not necessarily very popular or visible in the video of a media sort of an atheist. the other disadvantages that that sense it is a basic center. the further additions or multiplication of studies in this type of structure in the present form is not possible. focused on is one of the top 10 countries most affected by climate change, meaning it will be hit by more extreme, but the defense, the country has to read,

think it's repeating strategy and making climate tricity and homes could be to start and that does, that's the there, there's most tories from the region on our website, delta dot com, forward slash a sure i'm as ever. you could follow us on facebook, and twitter and alcohol x can see are the same time tomorrow. the be to india. ingested cities in the world. a groundbreaking company has come up with practical solution, taking the conventional merge bikes into high for one affordable electric vehicles . that keeps dollars for the green transport revolution. in the

next on d w. those do not understand can have a site like provide to present data used on instagram and follow up the where i found life now is the icon is that far in then how do i go mine? sorry about the body and you all watching eco, india, climate change impacts everything. and this monument is no difference. i'm sense and nothing is left untouched by climate change. adaptive.
