how indebted to china has the philippines become under 30? has it submitted to chinese expansionism in the south china sea and the, the west philippines sea? yeah, absolutely. down to foreign policy front. we also see a kind of a peak to terry to situation. as you may know, in recent months, the philippines in united states have somehow been making up right at present to terry to finally a sent a sent it to the restoration food. restoration of the visiting force is agreement that he tried to abrogate a previous years of because of disagreements with the u. s. on human rights issues . and in fact, recently on the eve of this 70th anniversary of the mutual defense treaty of the united states and the philippines, philippines, defense minister of foreign minister with visit at washington dc. and they agreed on even further deepening their security corporations. i think even the 3rd a sensing that you know, he doesn't want to be on the wrong side of americans as he heads into this very difficult and uncertain terrain, which is the transition perio

the philippines elections are next. may that this week in the philippines, as a lot of bows around the elections because candidates have to decay. if they're running by october, the i say to down the street were asking who could replace crescent rodrigo did today. i know you have thoughts, opinions, questions for app had oh, comment section of youtube is right here. put your comic into youtube and i will do my best wrap it into today's chef. i'm can a band, they are with me even responsible. and here in the philippines now considered in many rankings to be one of the worst places, the me in the oh, it may even demick and make no mistake about it. it's because of terrible governance that you got here. my family members here a who are rural health care workers are not getting the protection that need to serve from this government. and that's why i think passing a real bad anemic response budget is the most important election issue in 2022. our lives and their loved ones. lights are on the ballot. this is such an important

the philippine president leaves a legacy marked by a harsh crack down on drugs. but how has his tried an office shaped politics and will his successor keep his policies? this is inside story. ah hello, welcome to the program. i'm adrian finnegan. philippine presidents can only serve a single 6 year term in office, and that's created a bit of an obstacle for president rodrigo to 30 who many had speculated was hoping to run for the vice presidency. but he's just announced that he's retiring from politics altogether. a recent poll had suggested that many filipinos disapproved of his reported bid for the vice president seat. now there are reports that his daughter sala, to take a pill is running for president. she is expected to join her father's former aid sen, bongo who's running for vice president, president de dirty, endorsed sen bongos candidacy. when he announced his retirement on saturday. oh, i said no sentiment o. d filippino is that i am not really bad and it would be emotionally healed, ignited william symphony the man for the little him or president that

the deadline for the fighting candy, this is the philippines. he's on the 8th, but people are watching what will happen on november 15, where that, that 9 or we can all was in substitutions, we'll have them. so the waiting period is quite long. it's not just october, it's november 15, and most probably may even be may 9 where there are and i once asked for last we need some speaking shocks. although there are some restrictions on election day. richard or do you agree with that the, to perhaps we, we shouldn't believe to touch a what he says he's going to retire just yet. but if he, if he wants to stay in politics, what would his motivations be for doing so? i mean, one thing that we have learned about populace is not to take them necessarily literally, but to take them seriously. and a problem we present that there it is that sometimes you don't, if you should also take him literally at all or even seriously at all. but i think in this case, there are reasons to believe that present to 30 sensing, that the tide is turning and shoot them against

but the problem in the philippines is fairly systemic. and structural and a bigger farm or social change would be necessary to ensure that it will not prosper again. me, richard, average g d p growth should the short teens in the to total years is 3.4 percent. that's not bad. the lowest 5 year average since the early 19 ninety's. it is though, to what extent is the pandemic been used as an excuse for the failure of duties economic policies. the economy was slowing consistently before the pandemic, but it's now suffolk, 5 consecutive quarters of gdp decline. yeah, i mean, of course, that's that. and then it is right, that's the kind of narrative that the going once to run, that, you know, we were in a pyre days. and then this pandemic happened. but the pandemic is really exposed. the incompetence of this administration. it has really exposed the performative ness of president. the 3rd is very good in terms of, you know, performing as the kind of a supposed concrete and leader. but when crisis happens, we see, you know, the paucity of that.

did you deal directly with the president of the philippines?ia: the last interview i did with him was december 2016. the interview i did in october 2015 actually helped bring him to the attention, helped the critics of president duterte point out that because we covered him, certainly they knew the power of rat low, the millennia -- rattler, the millennial demographic. something more insidious is happening now, normalizing these attacks. when you say a million times i am a criminal, even if it is not true, that's what people believe. that's what happened first on the social media. attacks became normal and people who had never met me began to believe it. a year and a half later when the president comes down and says rattler is owned by foreigners, the cases began a week later and we are sandwiched there. it is a tough place to push back, but it is truly important to do that because this is the time -- this is a pivotal moment for philippine democracy. this is a time when you have to fight for the rights guaranteed by the constitution. amy: you

is of the philippines, for instance, in a very short time frame one. there has been 2 big news effect to what the nobel peace committee designs is. a government that murderous government re wages war against the country's own population. that's the words she used. well, this has been going without their international visibility and now with this award, and also very recently the international criminal court and started official investigation and who was in the philippines, the government's responsibility. this will have a big impact in the philippines and the upcoming elections next year. and i would say, and they insist also are young. there are a number of people of journalists to very organ, different difficult conditions, are harassed or get killed in central america, in africa, and many other places in the world. and i think this is a price that it's all of them as well. and in its history, of course, there have been many journalists who have received the nobel peace prize. this isn't the 1st time that we're seeing. a journalists receive the nobel

it's awarded this year's nobel peace prize to journalists, maria ressa, the philippines. and dmitri bought it off of russia. russia is the co founder of the rapport, news outlet, and was recognized the her coverage of president rodrigo, to today's controversial campaign against drugs. mil at off is the editor in chief of the russian newspaper, the boy gazette up at a critic of the kremlin. both journalists have been threatened by their governments in order to silence their publications. it's never been as hard to be a journalist as they say, this is my 3rd year in the checklist. and imagining in the philippine government hire can arrest warrants against me in less than 2 years. i've never been do anything like that. and i guess that, well, if there is justice is an enter, the die is here, the premier. ah, you put it cost this awarded for anna pork of sky eureka cook in order eager d'amico as does it bubble rover stuff mark aloft, natasha as to moreover, our foreign colleagues who gave their lives to the profession. i am not the right beneficiary of this prizing. would you

>> you know, i think for the philippines, we don't know yet. cases are at different levels and i think there's still a chance for appeal courts to rectify the wrongs if the executive branch doesn't dismiss the cases, which is what should happen. and, you know, in many cases you have to sort of find creative solutions where once the government realizes they want to resolve the case, they also don't want to necessarily show that they did anything wrong but there are sometimes cases that are resolved through pardons and those kinds of outcomes. it's a rare case where you triumph directly through court system. you know, some of these repressive countries, unless there's a reason, because the judges and prosecutors and their government need to know the world is watching, first of all. you have to shine a light on it. that's why our foundation, clooney foundation of justice, is monitoring cases like this all over the world, so that all of those complicit in these abuses know people are watching them but then also what we need to work on is improving

this isn't gonna take one nation or one company, part of our problems in the philippines. these legal cases were enabled by the information operations on social media that those algorithms empowered. right? so we can't have integrity of elections in our me 2022 presidential elections unless the platforms voluntarily allow facts to surface. or gar grills or put around tech told, are we at a pivotal moment? where do you see the, the threats not just a mock proceed to democracy to day but, but to, to peace and freedom of expression. when we are at a very important point because their social media is gone crazy and. ready everybody else has access to information and i think we can differentiate between lied and true friendship between fake news and real knows. and if we can show that journalism does make a difference, that i think we will all be lost and will not be a few. but all of us will be lost because that out for those who are on have the money held, the guns and who controls and many errors will determine our future. and i hope it is a journey point towards good journa

collecting bottles isn'tjust a challenge in the philippines.llect one bottle for each bottle they sell in uganda, but they can never do that. they can never achieve it. in uganda's capital, kampala, the local authorities collect only half the city's rubbish. there's a lot of plastic waste in the city. so in areas where people do not have a system to collect this garbage, people resort to burning. plastic has pollutants which are directly toxic. dr kirenga says he is seeing more and more people in his clinic with respiratory problems. and his research suggests that one factor is the open burning of all types of plastic. air pollution can cause damage to almost any tissue in the body, but most of the tissues that are affected, the lungs and the brain. the rates of lung cancer are also rapidly increasing in uganda. in a population where people do not smoke that much, air pollution could be responsible. when rubbish is collected, it ends up on open dumps like this. plastic bottles here are mixed with rotting food and disposable nappies. but there i

in philippine, it's because the country had seen its share of a celebrity, politicians who were able to reach the highest excellence of a political office and the, the record of celebrities of becoming an even us sports. men becoming effective governors are effective rulers, leading the government has not been good. the last time a celebrity became president of his didn't was cut short of the other 2001. so. okay. oh, might be writing a lot on the magic of celebrity. but unfortunately, at this point, i think the filipino electorate knows more than just simply on knowing him as a world famous box. one of money pock yoga context and narrative is that he is an ordinary. he used to be and, and he still claims to be an ordinary filipino who, who came from the poor. so i think there is a lot of populist leanings of a pi, a possible agenda for money pa, cow. he has yet to really detail his plans on, on what he wants to do as if he becomes president. but, you know, in a country with wide spread economic inequality, and with 80 percent of the filipinos are in port conditions, any populist, a

the president of the philippines is certainly a controversialfigure. encouraging thousands of extrajudicial killings in his " w ar on drugs" now on the day the election season begins, rodrigo duterte has said he's retiring from politics. the bbc�*s philippines correspondent howard johnson explained whether rodrigo duterte is really preparing to go. well, mr duterte today has said similar things in the past. so we have to take this statement today with a pinch of salt. but in the philippines, it's really about the drama, it's about the gossip. it's a bit like the telenovelas and soap operas that play out in the country — this is the kind of stuff that people talk about, so today's statement really thrusts the duterte family name into the gossip mongering and rumour mongering that's going on in every household in the philippines interested in politics. so what could happen is two scenarios — one, he could be switched in late before 15 november, the deadline for switching in a candidate, as we saw him do in 2015, in november when he eventually was success
