President has responded to the report by the Public Protector saying that its fundamentally flawed and not based on fact and this is after he responded to some of our questions earlier this year and according to his statements hes released he says that its unfortunate that shes decided to to issue this report given that he had concerns around it he has said that he is now seeking an urgent judicial review and it will be up to the courts to decide if this report stands its also worth remembering that the Public Protector has had a record of having some of her reports overturned by the courts given that there were issues around the legality and perhaps some of the foundations that these reports were written on the president says this is the case once again. Is not dealt specifically with the accusations leveled against him by the Public Protector that he was that he lied when he responded to a parliamentary question around the donation his campaign when he was running for president of the African National congress when that campaign took place but he has said that the courts will now decide the Public Protector had to prescribe some remedial action in that the report should go to the Parliaments Ethics Committee for review and possibly investigation and also the president should be investigated for Money Laundering she says she has evidence that this is the case amounting to perhaps 28000000. 00 the president says that the report shouldnt stand as it is and instead the court should decide what happens next now firefighters in portugal have managed to bring it to wildfires under control but one blaze is still burning dangerously close to villages more than a 1000 firefighters are battling the flames from custer low bronco about 200 kilometers north of los been investigating what caused the fires with one man arrested on suspicion of arson at least 20 people have been injured and several very germans remain on high alert.

But in the eyes of obamas success donald trump it was another example of pakistans inability or reluctance to crack down on terror groups in 2018 in his 1st tweet of the new year the president went after islamabad the United States is crucially given pakistan more than 33000000000. 00 in aid over the last 15 years they have given us nothing but lies and deceit.

State of oregon is introducing Mental Health days and schools student activists say theyre needed to deal with what they call a Mental Health crisis suicide rates in the u. S.

And Mental Health days are important job psychologists have said for a long time without Mental Health theres no help so i think this is really a positive step in the right direction i dont think people should take advantage of it but i would predict that most of the days are going to be reasonably taken and its going to be something that works and it probably is it is it is a good thing going forward.

A group with a fighting for the right to enter a sacred hindu temple that has long been the exclusive domain of men and one i want to investigate. The comes centuries of screaming nation in india on aljazeera speaking out against president trans racist tweets about the tragic history that women of color. Probably Rice Krispies just. To see. How. The law richard disappeared in europe the listening post here are some of the media stories that were covering this week thats what i said in a tweet which i guess some people think is controversial a lot donald trump and the touchy question of when does political rhetoric become straight up racism there are lessons to be learned and not just for journalists and news outlets rahms hardliner the b. B. C. Iran and a case of Selective Distribution and serbian war criminals turned authors rewriting history from behind bars for politics often comes down to a war of words and these days the coverage of the Trump White House is caught up over one word racist and whether or not it should be used to describe the american president after donald trump told 4 Congress Women of color to go back to the countries they came from even though 3 of them are american born some u. S. Media outlets are still stopping shy of using the r word. The 4 democratic congresswoman in question 2 of whom are muslim do not mince their words when talking about trans Border Control policies and what they call concentration camps they were as outraged in describing their visits to those camps as the Vice President mike pence was indifferent jury and here the juxtapose imagery and rhetoric that the 2 visits produced the war of words that followed are all reflective of the place in which the u. S. Finds itself ahead of the 2020 elections a nation of opposing political narratives where trumps white nativist message is facing more and more pushback from a new progressive force on the political left our starting point this week is Donald Trumps twitter account. Where does one even begin when tweets like these come out of the white house had those for Progressive Democratic congresswoman actually taken President Trumps advice left washington and gone back to the crime infested places from which they came Alexandria Ocasio Cortez would jump on a train to new york city she did to lead would catch a flight to detroit and Diana Presley would buy a ticket for cincinnati of the 4 only ill hand omar was born outside the country making her just as american as the 1st lady of the United States if not as white boards christian. It shouldnt come as a surprise to anybody. In the free world the president of the United States if every 5th to have called the new hero of the great 5th when he openly announced that he. Born in kenya what his new show diversity think it is incredibly difficult but if we knew he was there a 5th when he afraid that muslim for cheering the burning of the twin towers. True i saw people getting together. Fairly large numbers celebrating the World Trade Center was coming down killing. More people calling him i think this particular formulation if you go back to where you come from. And that of course is something that has been said over and over in American Culture to people i know when i was a kid as a black person walking down the street and my hometown every now and then the white kids would yell i want to go back where you came from. And his base theyre probably numerous people use expressions like that to people of color america great. I mean i saw it resonate in. The for progressives who have been nicknamed the squad have been a thorn in the president s side ever since their election to congress in 2018. The conflict escalated on june 30th when 3 of the Congress Women. Cortez and presley visited 2 Migrant Detention Centers in texas. From their parents although the cameras following them were not allowed in the women emerged with stories of overcrowding and squalid conditions they compared the facilities to concentration camps and then reported their findings to congress. Mr speaker we do have a crisis at our border it is one of morality clearly created by the Trump Administration dead set and sending a message that those seeking refuge are not welcome in america or american the trumpet ministration countered last week sending the Vice President on a similar visit it was an alternative. Photo op and it was no accident that mike pence appeared unmoved by what he saw. What they promised coming into office was that they were going to crack down that they were going to stem the tide of migrants coming across the border i would build a great wall and nobody builds walls better than me believe me and so every day since then has been an exercise in trying to show the base that theyre doing exactly what they said they were and. So what we saw was Vice President pence standing outside of these pens where men were gathered where in a close a cross to. Screaming that they needed the basics. And we also saw nice present who didnt seem particularly moved by any of this in terms of the intentionality of the optics i think what we can say is that unfortunately there is a segment of trance things that actually like seeing people of color being detained or being policed being mistreated and then unfortunately. Thats what i said in a tweet which i guess some people think is controversial a lot of people love it by the way after treating his go back where you came from message the president was accused of playing the race card i think that they are not espousing the views of our country before congresswoman he reacted the way he often does when challenged over his choice of words he doubled down. They can stay but they should love our country covering the story created a dilemma for American News outlets in the same way that many of them are hesitant to call donald trump a liar when he constantly misleads americans there has been a reluctance to call the author of what are clearly racist statements a racist. There is a history in this country and debate about race. To. Tell people who call someone a racist that you shouldnt do that because being or. Racist is something that is psychological that is inside a person it is their personal attitude. And since you can read their mind you can talk in terms of their behavior and you can talk in terms of the words that they use so whatever but you cant say that person is a racist because you dont know exactly what they really sad believe in so that is why everybody was tiptoeing around being careful that and using the language in that way because they didnt want somebody to come back and say well how do you know im a racist this president has made it pretty clear whats in his heart from the very beginning and even if not we can look at his actions in office we can look at what hes doing on the border those actions speak for themselves where the comments from the president are just the latest in a long list of racially and sendiri remarks there been a number of journalists from the very beginning to call out this illustration for exactly what it was maybe other legacy institutions or journalists are slower to come to these realizations but its not a secret its a part of it is how racism works within the media racism isnt just an issue that journalists cover its also part of the environment in which they work 86. 5 percent of all editors in the United States are white. 3 fourths of news organizations have no people of color amongst their top editors so that often means is a lack of sensitivity to the coverage of racism as well as a lack of training and if you dont have diversity in the newsroom then youre going to be in an echo chamber and not really active coverage of a problem. Especially if youre fox news where the lack of diversity on the screen and the lack of sensitivity in the news output are both by design fox has not and would not call President Trump a racist the politician and americas most watched news channel feed off each other. And it is likely no coincidence that fox anchor tucker carlson. Was laying into somali born congresswoman omar calling her a racist who hates america just before trump was very there yes done for omar and for her family she hates this country more than 4 days later the president sent out those tweets 3 days after that there was trump at a rally in north carolina. Serenaded by a crowd chanting send her back a script effectively coauthored by fox news and the white house. If not have never being there for the United States of america is benefiting. Fox news or truth 94 but finn of the people that watch fox news right. He really doesnt care if people call embracive. He can manipulate the media like no one ive seen. Trump like most populist isnt interested if they dont and. Like like modi you know. Someone who can go to iraq. And the only way you can fight it. Kind of good very good by telling the truth today but. Were discussing other media stories that are on our radar with one of our producers enough tarik the british broadcaster b. B. C. Sends a news team into iran gets what it calls rare access puts out a series of reports on his u. K. Domestic and world news channels but not on its persian Language Service why not because the broadcaster reportedly agreed to those conditions set out by the iranian government thats according to internal emails obtained by journalist yes shot full post in order to get their correspondent mohsin patients into iraq and the b.

B. C. Persian and targeting some of its journalists does it not exactly b. B. C. Persian is effectively banned in iran but it has a big viewership according to the broadcast week the audience of 12000000 and b. B. C. Persian stuff based outside iran paid a price for their journalism for years they faced threats and intimidation by the government some of how the assets frozen most unable to return to iran for fear of arrest and their family members in the country have been harassed and sometimes interrogated so understandably some of them are not happy about. The broadcast made we have to run for the b. B. C. It says that all International Media are subject to restrictions and iran and theyre not wrong just as true as also grapple with certain rules the b. B. C. Also said we accepted some limitations on this occasion an order to provide audiences weve read insights from inside the country and this is signposted in our coverage as ever the b. B. C. Maintains full editorial control over what we broadcast just not it appears where it is tough ok thanks to our. Its been roughly 20 years now since the war finally came to an end in what was once known as yugoslavia the historical narrative of serbias role in that decade long conflict europes deadliest since world war 2 is hotly contested and it really shouldnt be the evidence as per the United Nations and multiple other investigative bodies tells a tale of disproportionate serbian aggression brutality and ethnic cleansing the alternative version of that history is now being told in book 4 by authors who have been convicted of war crimes that include genocide the convexed turned writers former serbian generals and politicians are just out for exoneration in the minds of many serbian nationalists they already have that they want to rewrite the historical record while feeding into nationalistic narratives favored by serbian elites including t. V. Channels which might explain the popularity of the books among those who hold political power in belgrade listening posts johannah whos now on historical revisionism in the former yugoslavia and the inmates who have gone from convicted war criminals to published authors. Biographies war memoirs novels even poetry. A total of 119. 00 books written from behind bars by 22. 00 alleged and convicted who are criminals. This literary output has been coming out of the Detention Center at the International Criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia lies since 1993 the school of literature coming from the. Us down even to the eyes of the wind i did 161 person as a whole. About 140. 00 actually went in so you have an indian which is a dense and Hague Tribunal you. Can say that every one in 6 prisoners of the eye sitting by turned out to be in the order of sometimes many of those people are acting for purely political reasons or progun the reasons there is a certain insistence on exonerating yourself. Some of it is obviously also creating a parallel narrative which is only a part of a systematic approach in which actual facts actual events that have taken place i know being questioned. And they dont care about facts and they dont care what you were i think about it which is tailor made for certain and its me in a way that would fit the preexisting narrative from what you could be a one of what and who the serbs are. Its about stories stories make nations but i dont credit it is not going to be remembered as a murdering genocidal maniac but it is a great european hero who actually made the 1st serb state on the left bank of the knowledge that. There was a problem which is why did you remembered by future generations of serbs not as a murderer of o. B. E. And children in kosovo but as a great war hero who stood up to nato. And of story. Vision his books written by convicted war criminals are commonly available hender serbian capital belgrade including a bookstore behind me which belongs to the ministry of defense these books dont just do well with the average sir the countrys politicians including those in government are big fans too. Last year the publishing arm of serbias Defense Ministry took to belgrade sheerly book fair to promote its newest release mercyful angels embrace the multivolume wartime die. Written by former army general in the bush up of code beach who is currently serving a 22 Year Prison Sentence for crimes against humanity details his experiences in the kosovo war another prominent spot at the fair was reserved for alleged war criminals pushed off show after 11 years in detention cesure has returned to serbian politics and going by the name of his Publishing House greater serbia theres little question as to what his books are about puff of each and shush presence at the prestigious fair doesnt speak to the quality of their literary work rather it speaks to the popularity of the nationalist message the narrative that 18 years after the end of the war is still actively endorsed by those in power. The sausage and the those who were convicted in the Hague Tribunal a widely seen as heroes in that community mysteries and in serbia many of those who participated in making decisions during the war and you are now in power and they benefit from promoting these kinds of goals messages and narratives for instance only all have convictions books that are promoted by the ministry of defense of a blow by blow account of the nato bombing during the kosovo all however they are met the crimes committed by the serbs of the these books are an attempt to completely ignore the albanian victims to keep war crimes silent and to present the nato bombing as a hostile attack by International Forces in which only innocent serbs were killed the only medicine is the skin i dont when it comes to some of the books that says he has published we know that for instance alexander which is the current president of serbia wrote a couple of forwards to some of the editions now if you have a legitimate representative of a country. You know write a forward or books. And a list work for me all that is a huge issue. But i think that tells you a lot about just how far. You know the current political structures will go in order to push this on to the public. As more to scrub corners for the crisis. Serbian media play a significant rule in bolstering narratives in the countrys something or saw in them by last year the former army commander. Who is serving a life sentence for war crimes and genocide dialed into a morning Breakfast Show on serbias privately owned Entertainment Channel happy. Sending his love to the nation from prison. Cell. Phone the duma from the hague finished the conversation by saying you. Most of the media see themselves as organised of state machine themselves as being part of the serbian cause and contributing to the serbian cause which is the only way you can explain having got all money shown into the morning talks of having just been found guilty of genocide. Or speak of normalization. The srebrenica genocide which took place here in 1995 is by far the most popular topic for historical revisionists the execution of at least 8000. 00 muslim men and boys at the hands of the bosnian serb Security Forces the worst mass killing on european soil since the 2nd world war is a huge staying on bosnian serb history and numerous books have been written about it by though this wanting to recast the facts of that massacre. Is by far the thorniest usual normal discourse. This is also by far the best prosecuted crime all the crimes in the ninetys. Its proven beyond reasonable doubt that the culprits are the leader said paul farmer the Postal Service and i can wonder how come that additional facts which could be so well established are facing the storm was what does it take actually. Its a question that those pushing back against these are vision its narratives whether about srebrenica or any other brutal episode in the yugoslav wars have been asking themselves for years. But as long as these rewrites of history are not only condoned actively endorsed by those in power attempts to tell the facts as they are are falling on deaf ears me long to do name im all right now we dont have a young generation politically mature enough to ask important questions or inquire about facts that are being hit. My generation which was trying to create a consciousness about these crimes and the people behind them while we have been defeated we want table to win back the narrative we couldnt make the media follow this up and the crimes of those responsible for the peace agreements these have been completely removed from the agenda in its place we have this populism on the rise and there seems no space for push for really push the post story yes the political model would be safe. As a survivor. So that means a survivor of one genocidal episode the 1st emotion that comes is under. Then. Disbelief. And then. Resort. To fight that. Were dealing with genes that. Dont have a problem explaining to do a lecture of why theyre spending millions in genocide no. People of mexico from there want to do that to me. And thats the experience of being shot at losing your relative was your father was your brother mother sister whatever but the people who did that to them. And the movie mean. Genocide. Is never just about denying genocide in the past its about planning in whole or hoping for the next one. Otherwise why do. Why glorify genocidal maniacs why they want to fight mass murder. Unless youre going to repeat it. And finally back to Donald Trumps america his latest attacks on those 4 congresswomen of color telling them to go back to where they came from on the race issue its like trump has replaced his dog whistle with a megaphone hes not even trying to be subtle anymore but for news outlets the struggle continues the internal one in which they cannot quite bring themselves to call this what it is racism from the american commander in chief and magine being a School Teacher and having to explain to a child whats coming out of their president s mouth these days thats the theme of this new animation from political cartoonist mark fiore a childrens play book explaining just what it means to be american in 2019 well see you next time youre at the listening gather round its time to learn to let yourself be every american that does. Are. In all his nationalist glory honor is also for a rapist thats a different story. For asylum and keeping you from getting it well i think congress and a party complicit time is for what else. Is great. And shes all around and if you hate america and want to see her do with. A racist through and through. Education is struggling to keep pace. From failing to prepare children for todays work. But some schools are changing the rules. And how the beginning. With results. Are.

Legal battle to over to the military of action order that Israels High Court dismissed the case despite the land being under the administration of the Palestinian Authority our correspondent rob matheson is live for us at why the al hamas in the occupied west bank and this is the moment rob that people will have heard from in the past few days have dreaded the demolition of their homes has begun. Thats right about 4550 minutes ago elizabeth we heard very loud bangs coming from the building right next door to where we are now and that was a large mechanical digger which was being used to rip off parts of the roof of that building and that building was whole mobsters of this morning to 2 families we understand the father of one of those families has been sitting on a chair done in the streets below us and watching his home being torn apart let me also just draw your attention sir theres a building just 2 wards the left hand side on the other side of the separation fence there with a large crane next to it a large to go next to it and that up until a few moments ago has been taking large chunks out of the side of that building with a big mechanical crawl and just behind me this unfinished building here you can see the construction work of the demolition workers i should say drilling holes in the wall we understand that theyre probably going to put some sort of explosive in there to try to eventually bring the building down and finally got here in the early hours of this morning was a very big security presence here and in the pink house that you can just see next to the unfinished building that i was talking about earlier there was a Family Living there and as we arrived we heard screams and shouts and we saw israeli Security Forces moving into the building and removing people that we dont know how many of those people in there where the family that was living there and how many were activists that have been trying to work with the families and defend the families as theyve been attempting to get essentially a stay of execution in this demolition process now the reason this is all happening elizabeth is simply because of a rule that was made by the military about 8 years ago which said that no buildings could be constructed within 250 meters of the separation wall of the separation fence and the separation fence here in this neighborhood runs the middle of that road and you can see how close these buildings are. On the other side you know the intriguing thing about this is that these buildings were originally given apartments and authorize ations by the Palestinian Authority which administers this part of the neighborhood but despite that the israeli say no that doesnt matter because these buildings were put up after the military really which said that the buildings should not be within the distance that therefore they have to come down its a very somber very sad day for many people here absolutely rob 0 demolishing palestinian homes is not new the but will this be the 1st time that theyre demolishing homes that in areas under the Palestinian Authoritys administration. Yes thats correct this is something that the Palestinian Authority is very concerned about theyre concerned that this is essentially setting a precedent that this the use of this 8 year old law that this is that for security reasons for these cant be constructed within 250 meters of the security fence or the separation fence and can be used to try to. To destroy get rid of other palestinian homes along the length of the separation wall so theyre very concerned that theres going to be so this is going to be basically the 1st stage in an israeli attempt to try to clear more palestinian or whole homes away from areas in the separation wall of course theres been concern about what happens after that just where does this process and rob thank you very much for that is problematic than live from the occupied west bank.
