trying to make sense of what happened and they want the government to give them on size cost me. so you are the 0 my, my hill kenya. and malcolm web reports from campbell county and kenya. jackson and don't goose says he's been trying to prevent a crisis in his community for weeks. the crisis came, the now is trying to make a footpath across the river where the road once past weeks of 2 in 2 reins flooded his neighborhood on the outskirts of my baby in key, i'm the county. people have to be rescued from rooftops, nearly 200 people are being killed and can use floods. the what does caving it was told? it was coming into high speed. so it just takes off all this turns out to a here. and it was not on what's done to my house. i've located my children and my wife, i do them just get out of the house because they come to no danger. jackson's family

survived, but the youngest of his property did not. the only way for the water to escape was through these 3 drains, which became completely overwhelmed. the rose and it's and diamond dumbs, the flies closing was that's a back up this valley flooding. thousands of homes and the school to jackson says the cool, the highways, all sorts see an awesome to bring and excavate to break open the road and release the rules to try and keep people safe and with other community members says he built this foot bridge. so the lease pedestrians could still cross even when cause could not then came more rain and that was destroyed as well. rapid on regulated and development has blocked waterways and streams of drainage. some people here say they've never known rains or floods like this before. scientists expect climate change to bring more extreme weather can use eye clinic to its

destination. the mass i'm more of wildlife has of, flooded when a river passed its banks. thousands of hotel workers and tourists has to be rescued . can use red cross that's come to help in many places, people are asking why the government hasn't done more positives as p 0 zeros in room. the pope offered pres this year in order to transmit. and i also wish to express to the people of canyon. my spiritual closeness at this time, a severe flooding has tragic a, taking the lives of many of our brothers and sisters. jackson says, a company was contracted to upgrade the bridge neighbors home 5 years ago, but it disappeared with the money. so he's trying to make the possible, at least until the next rain full malcom web. i'll just say right, can be county can. yes. so this thing post is coming up next.

charts, military has been a couch that's taking power in the cool 3 years ago. now people will have a child to help their site where they us withdrawing it schools. i'm groups imposing the front of neighboring so that means conflict. what lies ahead for the country child, the elections or knowledge is 01 year into the civil war ensued on what is it about this story? this humanitarian costs have been staggering, but the news coverage has been minimal silencing the voices of dissent at us universities over israel and the gods. and what that says about freedom of speech in america plus restoring the independence of state owned new so black skin, poland has not gone according to plan. the last week marked the 1st

anniversary of the war ensued on the desktop. there was in the 10s of thousands, but it is in the number of people displaced nearly 9000000 and in need of humanitarian aid, around 25000000. that the story really stands out. a conflict on this scale should top the news agenda, but it has been relegated to the back pages in part because of what is happening in gaza and ukraine. and it is increasingly difficult to deny that the lack of media interest in this war comes down to where it is being fought and how it is understood. then there's a framing that this is a war between 2 generals, man and uniform, which office gates the role of global players in the fighting, and creates the perception that there are only 2 choices available. it is a binary that implicitly excludes a 3rd option, one that civil society in c dot and has been fighting for, for decades. democracy we are

really looking at human suffering on a scale that we can't really quantify. it is the wes, somebody touring crisis, the number of people displaced, the number of people hungry, or essentially looking at the costs of a society, an entire state in front of our eyes. there's also the sense that this 4 is not going to end of all that was one's tao to only take a few weeks now looks like this will go on for the long time. how is the one year induced to don's civil war? the world's greatest humanitarian crisis, attracts so little lose coverage. the suffering in gaza has been horrendous. ukraine is an ongoing tragedy, but neither of those conflicts are on the scale of what has on folded into down the number of people the front. and the at the story goes largely on told on global news of france. the lack of covers obviously,

incident is tied to much larger questions of how africans represented. and so many of these conflicts are seen in such simplistic and actually deeply harmful ways that are tied to quote unquote, primordial grievances and are somehow just localized and detached from the rest of the world. is that these 2 generals and they're less for power of taking the country hostage that is patently untrue. unfortunately, we see a conflict arena that is taking shape with a gulf countries, namely the u. e. in saudi with even wagner mercenaries on the ground from russia. and so what we really see is a deeply internationalized conflict that this time, what race as media narrative really doesn't capture people use golf as an excuse goes, i happened 6 months into the conflict. people use ukraine as an excuse, that's a completely different set up. so the typical excuses i don't think cold water. i think there's a sense of, let's just leave them to it. there's also a sense in the united states that one of the key allies in the re, in the u, a e might be doing things, it would save this war and they don't want to put too much pressure on the way 8,

because, well, they don't wanna lose that very key allies. it has been 5 years to the months since the sleeping these people were given cause for help. with the downfall of the different tater omar algebra, she who ruled over them for 30 years. the civilians who rose up against our share then saw their dream of a democracy dashed by a military coup which morphed into a civil war last year. when and in search of the army from western c dot r s. s. tried to take power from the generals in car to the suit and these armed forces for nessa, this power struggle is being fueled by players on the outside backing. the say f is egypt and more recently in wrong can be, are assess corner is rush through. it's mercenary for us wagner and the united arab emirates, although them are rockies, have tried to obscure their own agenda. last year,

m a ra. he's state media claimed that this was humanitarian a, destined for the student, these people. but according to investigations by the new york times and the wall street journal, it was all a guys to smuggle in arms to the r s. f. accusations that the u. a. e has repeatedly denied. now, of course, some of what has gone to certain types. it on has been here monitoring the systems, but as a is also well known that there are lots of other things such as armored cars, laser guided missiles and drones, which i've also been going to the region. so this idea that they're purely true monetary and while sending little weapons is clearly not exactly a such a neat and tidy story, and i don't think they're full in too many people. least of all student needs on the ground in terms of what the weight is after in sedona, the goal trade, which is incredibly important for various reasons. one of them is section evasion, the united air of emma risk corporates with to be off the costs for many locks now, which has direct projection of rushes interest and for russia. gold is incredibly

important to finance the one ukraine and to make its own economy less dependent on the dollar. so it means resources that i'm more resistant to what sections and that's what gold comes in. what do you, what has become, of a sudden the, the past decade is the banking hub of the region. countries that have either dest particle, autocratic entities will invariably do some business in the united, most particularly in the gulf, a sector. and it just so happens that the they are as if is one of the biggest clients of, of the you. it was, of course, has one of the world's biggest gold markets in the early stages of the information or the r s f capture the national state, broad tv channel in your car to last month. the so you took it back, but when they are, i was in control. it didn't really do much with the chinese. partly because even in a country dealing with large scale internet blackouts,

we're just 30 percent of the population can consistently get online. social media is still aware that the u. a. e is also involved in fact side effects. some of the companies behind pro our social media channels like g s k are based in the efforts they portray the militia groups, leader, general mohamed, how i'm done, dr. low known as have mfc as a legitimate president in weight. they have their work cut in 2014, connect these forces fighting in the war in dar for committed mass murders and rapes of civilian atrocities. they are continuing to carry out sometimes posting the evidence on line other insiders trying to rehabilitate from that these image and metal with the news narrative can see don range from operatives working out of russia in the east canada in the west. but we have now on the information space is

i guess the combination of years of investments by the are assessed in different p off times across the world. not just in the united app. i mean it's, but also famously the canadian is really from run it by the former is really intelligence agent, already been manase, which has been providing po health to the r as a for several years before the war. external, the idea is to civil war and clean the reputation of the hours up to position humidity as somebody who can be taken seriously as the head of state. because ultimately the prize here is the nation of so then, so that's what the hope again, has been about internally, it's about trying to so division it's about trying to get more support for the rapid support forces of the cities on forces. whenever it, there wasn't astride 5, you sit down on forces that had civilian casualties, you would have someone from the, our south filming it into crime denouncing the. so dawn on,

forces the out of the what we've also been seeing lately is defections or alleged defections from, from the sit down on forces on local men to show that have joint them still. yeah. but then, then it out by the way of what the damage they have with home done, they're going to, we can of course say in how far they have staged, whether or not these have been taken under duress. one of the 2, often the coverage this war does get falls into the binary track, which makes it easier for the international community to just look away that this is essentially a war between 2 generals, between a matter of the r s s versus the s a s of those, but the output, a redemptive characterization of what is happening. the following thing is taking place between all the units, loyal to the 2 generals, you can see but so don's store is far bigger than the student is resistance given

grass roots, neighborhood networks of ordinary citizens who coordinated on lines were crucial. and bringing about the downfall of omar alba share in 2019 and have been working to save civilian lives since the war began. they have every right to demand a democratic say in what comes next for us to talk. more of the news cameras should be pointed. fairway funding the story around these 2 generals who are fighting falls into a number of traps and tropes about the region. firstly, this idea that these african countries are somehow recklessly ruled and all about these warlords goes into this narrative, which i really problematic and really short sighted because they failed to really think about the international as dimensions that are related to all of this. and more than anything they take away the agency of those who've been on the ground, the civic activists who led this revolution and an over thrown around this year this, this deeply accept her credit resume. the thing that gives me is that the very people,

the full, so the revolution have the same people on the ground will living the very values that stay for the emergency response rooms, the resistance committees, the infrastructure that they are building, complaint, the very democracy that they're talking about is happening right now in the most intense physical condition they are making it happen is the real story in the united states nationwide student protests against israel's genocidal assault on garza, i have set off police violence and a toxic media debate. product. an offer is here with me for weeks now. students have been staging citizens across the us campuses, universities like columbia brown on an mit on this spreading. however, if you've been watching the extensive news coverage, all those demonstrations,

you could be forgiven for not knowing what the students are actually the month. that the universities divest or federal legs, the companies and academic institutions that practice for me throughout occupation and the pos side college campuses in several parts of the country are struggling tonight with just where to draw the line between the allowing pro tests and free speech. and preventing anti semitism and intimidation, the focus of the coverage has been on the alleged anti semitism on the safety of your students. we've also seen politicians in the media demonizing protest as with baseless claims like this one. some of these students apparently are unaware of the atrocities of october 7th. they denied that women and children were brutally raped and murdered the incense were placed in the ovens and cooked a live. there were a narrative that has even been debunked by his writing, move out that one of the honor and even play when examining the coverage. columbia university which is spearheaded, this movement has one of the world oldest jonathan schools. it's administered as

the public surprise for excellence in the field faculty that stays a walk out of the universities. heavy handed security response, $54.00 law professor, had sent a letter to columbia of leadership, judging it to respect the rule of law of values that were in charge and added the extraordinary involvement of the police threatens the university's legitimacy within its own community. beyond escape the videos on account of peaceful fittings being met with police, 5 of students being arrested off the university leaders cool security forces in to deal with the have exposed power. plus, if the debate of gov has become in the us and it's about freedom of speech and where the us academic institutions will stay and up for the values they teach. i'm with american politicians pre, thanks to our for more than 4 months now. poland is new government led by prime

minister donald to ask, has been out to reverse the wholesale changes made to the countries media by the previous government, which had held power for 8 years. during that time, when the law injustice party wasn't office media legislation was passed, the dramatically altered the journalistic landscape and enhanced the ruling parties control over publicly owned news outlets, most notably at the state on television network cvp. but the 2 governments goal to sterilize public broadcasting of partisan politics has not been fully embraced by polish society tv. peas ratings are down and it has lost viewers to a relatively new right wing channel tv republic. the listening post, ron cole is now on donald to 6 media overall and how, what's on folding in poland? it was december 2023,

just one. government power enforcer. and then state broadcast or t p was suddenly taken off the air. yes, the fox case is, story had been, it was a follow up a postal code about saying that both skit menu, the just what happened that night. it depends on who's narrating the tale and which side of poland political reality there on delivery. zip o scott cvp was on know, for the shut down in an instant, it doesn't even hundreds of employee passes stopped working. you're gonna lose it off. so one of the editors decided that the presenter should inform viewers that the cvt is being low for the taking over at the moment. you only minutes to say a few sentences off before the signal was cut off. so here's testing. those are still of those thoughts, jim. it was a big relief for many people in poland because public media needs to beacon partial

and for 8 years probably media was everything bites, impartial, the populace part to lower than just as was slicing democracy, kept by kat tools, decided to stop it immediately. so obviously for anybody it tastes like cat shopping. tyra new prime minister donald to was the man administering this sean therapy to the state media is i don't even think we should put these things up on, you know, a little more lushly. i just talked to you about the new government came into power december last year and reforming the media was at the top. it's agend the coalition in the center left and pro you replacing the right wing government headed by the law and justice party known in poland. by its acronym piece,

for 8 years from 2015 until 2023 places in power. and in that time it had a transformative effect on the countries media. it politicized poland. media regulators turn the national broadcast or into what the council of europe called a propaganda channel for the ruling party. private media outlets rather bought out by local governments or state corporations, or private conglomerates allied to peace. regulations and laws came into effect that made the survival of critical media outlets incredibly challenging. so when the full man government, the lower injustice government, left office and public media in particular had been competing corrupted. the main public tv channels was used to promote the government's agenda. test. opponents are the main evening news every day with generally involved promotion. the government's narrative shows up shamaya today for the key the to get but the 10

to the put of code you to hold for the defense call you for giving a show much way. and i'm going to use a credit check issue and the cut cut over connect piece of the physical evidence of defense on the bottom of the china was attacking the position. i'm usually in a very unsuccessful. why don't know those those folks angel wants to start for the skate, cuz there's no support. so for anybody else to get up to the other thing is that with our me, little home, you know, the from to put it. there's a vote in this poster isn't going though to have what happens to t. v p. sounds like a story from some strange place that knows no democracy in this way of fix stomach . however, the laws regarding how management teams are chosen for public tv had been changed by peace back in 2015 when they came to power. and those are the laws to made use of. before the changes, there was regulation to ensure the selection of management personnel wasn't purely political. it was all done according to the standard. when piece change,

the law enabled politicians to directly appoint and dismiss the managers of public media outlets. look to them. so should they, like disney pointed to us could come to power promising to de politicize public media. but many argue he's really just re politicized that to be paid. for example, under the new administration receive criticism a couple of months ago when it published and advocates and celebrating its freedom under the new management issue. i spoke with a firm for each, every single politician that was showing an exit speaking on the china was from the new building competition. so there were no opposition. voices on that might well because of a shift on the ups. yeah. they want to have a single narrative. nowadays, the immigration crisis, these rarely spoken above. no one wants to discuss the risk of moving our currency from disloyalty to the euro, or issues like rising energy coverage,

often you up to the destruction of tvs. the people are not being informed. there was an issue about the let me draw your attention to tvs, viewership, which is collapsing dramatically, let you not web mess it. that is not an exaggeration. according to a survey conducted by the media analytics firm, nielsen tv piece viewership in february 2024 had dropped by 72 percent compared with the audience numbers. in february 2023, one of the biggest media beneficiaries of td piece knows diving numbers is a right wing populace channel tv recruitment aligned with emulates the style of fox news in the u. s. or c. news print talks about the 6 of these types of the best thoughts and i asked them what's on the inventory sheet,

a spreadsheet? the several 20 to can be that single many piece of pointed employees who are hosted from state media upon to survival, migrated to tv republicans. and according to the nielsen's survey, the numbers of viewers in february this year was 30 times the audience just one year ago. also in february, the channels advertising revenue, quadruple. we contacted to have your approval to speak with them about the streak of success there in join. they didn't respond. when we asked the current director of tv, the man appointed by twos, government did a very specific perspective on the following numbers of his network and the jump. tv recruitment guy's see the viewer of public media for 8 years. it was very specific viewer and to the people that were the victims of populace. so that was obvious that they will move to, to tv republica,

which is private property, the state for some people, probably current public television is small, boring because that i know made up sensational things that there was no language or hatred. basically, it became more flocked. so obviously i can understand that for some people is less excitement, but we are not here to excite people. we are here to the, to deliver the news. the facts would be able to consider about the new model, but for, for 10 years it is yours should not be abandoned. after all, the idea of public media is to represent all voices in society. of course, those who enjoy the emotions and aggression to each should feel a band of, since that language and tone has no place here. however, if cvp ignores conservative,

it doesn't mean that those people will just disappear and we can manage just liberal media. this is really the challenge for the new government to allow public media to be professional and independent and not simply using as a mouthpiece for anybody but on their books chicago. and that is the challenge for donald to brett. the strip certificates of, of the name of the promise. colin's new government made was to quote, restore access to reliable information on public media. but it's really liable ends up meaning everything that's pro government, then the opportunity to restore balance and credibility to degrade and media landscape will be squandered. and the deep polarization colon will remain. and finally, for more than 6 months now, we have reported on the countless crimes being committed by his ready forces in gosh, this past week, more horror stories are merged,

the discovery of new mass graves at least 392 bodies on earth. next to nicer hospital in hong eunice, some were found stripped naked, their hands tied. others showed signs of having been buried alive. the execution of civilians is a war crime for which the it's really military denies responsibility. and it's not as though the u. n's human rights, so office or the european union, both of which have called for independent investigations are going to get one any time soon. because israel continues to deny the u. n. n. human rights organizations access to gaza, locking them out along with scores of journalists, the palestinian reporters and 1st responders inside the world zone, continue to do their work despite being targeted. and it is worth remembering that they have been the ones who have brought these stories of mass graves to light. we'll see you next time here at the listening post. and

i'll just say around brings you in depth analysis the so comply take. now what has been exposed to many of those companies that failed so miserably on that day they said, going to file a selling and testing with things in jobs as we speak these really speak every was know we're giving each going finish. and the fact that each route is at the international court of justice shows how much deeper than nothing you on the east coast, nothing yahoo success and maybe better maybe was. but it's the one that has to address that suspended. stay with us for the latest developments on out. just sierra humanity is open the gates of hell into seats. is that mean orlando's effects? as the world discusses how to reduce emissions?

supposing an existential threat to humanity, a new oil rush is displacing. you've got the people empower, investigates, the relationship between the mikey oil giants of the global noise and the developing nation. so the global south crude mistake talk to of, to, on just the heavy pricing. we don't simply focus on the politics of the conflict. it's the consequential for the human suffering battery before time. we break bullets and bombs and some of the world's most troubled regions, the army floods in the face of idols advance. it is one of the most serious thoughts of violence in recent years. in some instances we are the targets because we give voice to those demanding freedom, the rule of law. and we always include the views from all sides. we don't simply focus on the politics of the conflict. if the human suffering that you report to us, we brave fullest in bond and we always include the views from all sides,

the a vandalism. trespass breaking window, shutting down, campuses forcing the cancellation of classes in graduation. none of this is a peaceful protest who is present verified in defends police, breaking out protests on university campuses across the country. the them are allowed to sit down to 0 live from day, also coming up in gauze or is ready, shutting kills.
