he said in terms of corruption, the post— people power government became indistinguishable from the marcosam. isn‘t that the truth? duterte is in power, and quote unquote, so successful because the post people power politics of the philippines simply failed the people? i think i would agree that post people power was a failure, we had endemic corruption, replaced one set of leaders with another, who then created their own, i mean we have always had the eight oligarch families, but the difference is this. the trickle—down effect didn‘t trickle down. there was a perfect storm, and this happened globally, this is part of the reason you are seeing a trend back to a form of i would say almost fascism. because liberal democracy didn‘t deliver its promise. having said that, we should not be moving the other direction, and that is the challenge to every democracy here. part of what is enabling that is social media. when the gatekeepers, the journalists, news organisations used to be gatekeepers, we kept the public sphere, we all agreed on that fact. our new gatekeepers are tech companies, the appl

people power in my own opinion is a representation of the majority of the people of uganda.e of the people should reign supreme, that the citizens should be taken first over the president or those that govern over them. therefore we believe that because we have the voice the majority, that voice should take precedent over an individual, the opinion of yoweri museveni. bobi wine, in kampala, uganda, thank you very much indeed for coming on hardtalk. hello. 0ur spell of unsettled and mild mid—december weather is set to continue for another few days yet, before things get a little bit cooler into next week, but certainly for friday, it‘s going to be a windy day, very mild once again with some heavy rain around. now, the heaviest of the rain will be affecting south wales, where the met office haveissued an amber rain warning. that rain could be bringing some travel disruption and some flooding, up to 100mm falling over the higher ground of south wales. now, through the course of the early hours of friday, that rain is moving its way in from the west. throughout friday, it‘s goin

there the reminder is people power can lead right back into totalitarian dictatorship. >> what about united states during the arab spring, you know, tried to be on the side of the egyptian people. it intervened to get rid of gaddafi. it chose not to intervene in the case of syria. it feels like no one of those strategies, intervention, non-intervention, nothing was perfect. >> none of those strategies ultimately worked. we were left with something in between, a hybrid strategy. and in some cases, as in tunisia, that sort of paid off. in egypt it didn't work. it led to the re-emergence of dictatorship and in syria it failed disastrously because it ultimately prolonged the civil war. the u.s. and other allies effectively gave the rebels enough to stay alive, but not enough actually to defeat the assad regime. that meant that the war lasted a long time, more refugees, more people dying, and the long-term consequences for the region are really tragic. >> you know, noah, you are talking about the need for compromise. the need to understand that you can't always get the government that you

hearts of american people is this, democracy, the right to be heard, to have your vote counted, to choose leaders of this nation, to govern ourselves. don'trica, politicians take power. people grant power to them. the flame of democracy was lit in this nation a long time ago. we now know nothing, not even a pandemic or an abuse of power can extinguish that flame. and as the people kept it aflame, so did courageous state and local officials and election workers. american democracy works because america makes it work at a local level. one of the extraordinary things we saw this year was that everyday americans, our friends and neighbors, democrats, republicans, independents, demonstrated absolute courage. they showed a deep and unwavering faith in and a commitment to the law. they did their duty in the face of a pandemic. and they could not and would not give credence to what they knew was not true. they knew this election was overseen. it was overseen by them. it was honest, free, and fair. and saw with their own eyes they wouldn't be bullied into saying anything different. it was truly remarkable because so many of these patriotic americans were subject to so much e

public 'd policy can do over the last 4 years and how committed some people like trumpet mcconnell are they will do whatever they can with power people need to see what good people would do with power what good policy looks like you said that you wanted $15.00 an hour if you do that that will heal the nation because there's no skilling of the soul of the nation that doesn't heal a body of the nation you said you would expand health care we need to fight for that the 1st $5100.00 days 1st 50 you said that you would make sure essential workers had the sick leave an unemployment and and the rent forgiveness and mortgage forgive that they must see a president now that will fight for that you said you would deal with systemic racism in terms of voting rights and police reform that needs to have. when in the 1st $5200.00 days people need to see now that there will be a true fighting for all americans if you we are our people you said immigration for reform was necessary we would stop caging and losing children we would properly address native americans and make sure that they have what has been promised to them as the original peopl

america is the home of people power and the rule of law.is what the constitution is all about. the people's power comes through their vote so we should want the greatest possible number of legal votes and the smallest possible number of illegal votes. no one can say we have that in america today. everyone can see that our electoral system has fallen into total disrepute, not by accident but by design. this year we saw a massive latest changes to the system, none of it was necessary to cope with the virus but all of it was pushed by democrats years before the virus and you can read it in nancy pelosi's notorious hr one early voting, laid voting, mass mail in voting, instant registration complaint state voter id laws, corrupt practices like ballot harvesting. it was deliberate vandalism by the democrats for their own part is in a vantage. we don't know how many votes were affected so it is ludicrous and offensive for the establishment to state, without evidence and without a full investigation that outcomes weren't affected. they all parrot t
