And american you know how to be an american 1st i didnt hear much appreciation for why it would be a big deal that a muslim india look to the United StatesCongress Want has changed rewind islam in america on aljazeera. The metro sound clips out. There china relations were hearing now that they are facts out about it they say that the actions here this is something thats calculated told through you got to wonder what the chinese are by carrying this. Hello im Richard Gaisford and youre at the listening post where we dont cover the news we cover the way the news is caught here are the media stories were looking at. Chinas a war of words with a strain and the tweet that escalated everything uganda has got a president ial election coming journalists are covering the story at their own risk servian worked for us and turned authors rewriting history from behind bars and saying youre not a robot is easy to confirm you know right up proving it is another matter. This will go down as the year of the panda given what we know about the origins of covert 19 the initial outbreak and will haunt china 2020 has also put a serious strain on beijings relationship with other governments weve examined its conflict with washington and the outgoing presumptively speaking trumpet ministration as well as the role that the media have played in that another story worth watching is chinas relationship with a strong. This past week up a prominent government voice in beijing sent out a tweet designed to make a stray look bad it included an image a fake one of an australian soldier supposedly stationed in afghanistan appearing to slit the throat of a child the message do not like your china on hope at 19 or human rights it was the latest salvo between 2 countries that happen to be Major Trading partners now using their respective Media Outlets in different ways and to differing extents to trash talk one another and journalists on both sides are finding themselves in a familiar place trapped between competing powers are a starting point this week is the tweet that said it all. This is what it looks like when one country china trolls another australian on twitter. The image is fake the message from beijing was really coming from the account of a Foreign Ministry spokesman shout. This picture shows. A boy who is holding a small sheet and theres a soldier is. Probably the National Flag of austria and the caption says dont be afraid were coming to bring you peace. Really quite shocking. A lot of us what kind of god it is one of the things that another guy she could do. Even more that it can. Clearly. Not tweet out without knowing. If you can respond and you can see is china usually being. There. But in the past true here somehow become more sensitive and combative here especially on twitter. Actually then charge of the what who should up current who and d feigns with his family should im sure me our value to no longer for the shanghai after how we. Thank your incense d latino long fire will among. Hi jenny mini me. Yes australia has clearly. Not really let your age russian ship it or in australia and china. Shout jan is the chinese official who 1st floated the notion that the cove of 1000 fire a switch initially surfaced in the city of rouhani may have been planted by American Military personnel who had attended a meeting there shall has been prominent in the messaging fight between beijing and washington over the pandemic you will have. And by wading into the bilateral tussle with canberra shall has turned globalize on to an australian story that wasnt getting much traction elsewhere an inquiry into the conduct of australian soldiers based in afghanistan in 20122013 the cold blooded killing of civilians the report de tiled shocking crimes including modus allegedly committed by men who had supposed to be our best try and a late soldiers it was payback in 280. 00 characters or fewer for australias had bitch will criticism of china over Human Rights Violations in sindh jang and hong kong. And you know with markets Prime Minister morrisons demand that china be investigated for its handling of covert 90 whats really important is that we have a proper review the pandemic issue according to supporters of president xi jinping is government is the biggest factor in the widening rift between the 2 countries and that you know you and i know. You throughout this year of strayer has been acting as a pawn of the United States especially when they accused china of covering up the coded outbreak and demanded an International Investigation into the origin of the virus. He didnt he didnt you should treat amy chua one day you do you. Know. These accusations are unfounded with of whos been at the forefront blaming china which is the main reason for the deterioration of China Australia relations so they purr and go from the chinese of Public Diplomacy or no view is to change the topic because those things really as being come down in china ocoee 19 in china can also find something to calm down. The chinese without their sins and us has a problem is china because there is competition for supremest seeing the good look at how much treat it depends on china economically it just could not comprehend why australia would be the one thats most anti china there is less huge media interest. Just tweet. When from australia thank you chinas actions in trade is much more significant to australias national but maybe a. Much. More war and trade stories. Some of these bilateral issues predate the pandemic in 2017 the government in canberra proposed measures to deal with what it called disturbing reports of chinese influence in australian journalists on both sides have since come under increasing pressure my name is john like im a t. V. I got based in beijing china in august chang legs and a stray in citizen of chinese descent based in beijing for china c g t n t v disappeared from the airwaves and into custody allegedly for endangering National Security the following month 2 other australian journalists based in china were questioned about the channel a case spooked at the. Prospect of getting arrested they turned to a central you know officials for help got a diplomatic escort to the airport and fled the country you know relate to that to a stranger. And mark well rushed out. A couple of months ago how quick. Their connection to china they were questioned by Chinese Security about their connections. And i mean when they returned to australia that they try and buy agency had executed search warrants on chinese in australia the chinese journalist were right. In connection with the foreign interference investigation of a politician about outing and hear. Something teacher in the twentys or been close. To either but the raid was not reported at the time and all of the most. Real battles. Of all time is general as the australian or shortly after. Chinese news outlets not known for examining current human rights abuses at home have developed a sudden sustained interest in the Australian Military strategy record in afghanistan years ago. When he found. Out that. He didnt mention. Theyve relied on Foreign Ministry officials for interviews and he used the tweeted image knowing its a fake created by a chinese artist without calling it what it is virus 2. 00 whatever the higgs going to be coming on an Australian News platforms reflect their governments hostility towards beijing in their own way the tendency to lie. Abell coated 19 the chinese wires with the Rupert Murdoch owned sky news astray stirring the pot not unlike the channel he owns in the us fox news the 2 media spheres conduct their journalism largely or entirely without the benefit of correspondents on the other stern. The biggest problem in my view is. When you are not in china and your reporting on china is very difficult to avoid or. Biased to dominate your analysis and i think the same is true from the Chinese Media that when there is a political message from house call there are saying that you must report australians this way we dont want good news will it well that. The reporting is not going to sufficiently in full on either the general public or as if you see makers either country weve got she coverage now. Voices will now get the most attention and that we often hear from the top levels of government. And beijing and what we. Lack of a strike. In china. We dont get one table on the ground and. Weve. Got a. Lot. Uganda has an election coming up next month and president yoweri 70 whos been in power for more than 3 decades is up against an opponent with a significant following for philips has been tracking the story for us begin with journalists in com paula flo how is my 70 been dealing with this in short which by clamping down on the opposition candidate get any known as bobby wine on the. Journalists covering Ones Campaign and targeting some of his supporters wine is a different kind of opponent for the president hes a musician turned member of parliament a singer whos used his music to power his campaign as well as connect with young voters and broaden his support base last month dozens of one supporters were killed at the hands of the Ugandan Security services and there be multiple reports scents of Police Firing tear gas and rubber bullets at them check out this video whine posted on twitter from this past tuesday showing Police Targeting him and his Campaign Team as they were arriving at a rally.

K. Broadcasters hitting her in the head in the 70 government have also deported a news crew from the canadian book us to c. B. C. Now the official reason that was given was that they were working under tourist visas although they maintain that they followed all the relevant rules one more important thing to note on this election richard the timing it was originally scheduled for february but the me 70 government have moved it up a month to january 14th they did that with one eye on whats been unfolding in washington the inauguration in d. C. Is set for just 6 days later on january 20th and president miss any seems to be keeping his options open given the prospect of possible vote rigging and more Election Related Violence these are the kind of tactics that might be easier to get away with under President Trump than President Biden thanks its been roughly 20 years since the war finally came to an end in what was once known as yugoslavia the historical narrative of serbias role in that conflict europes deadliest since world war 2 is 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 serbian authors who have been convicted of war crimes that include genocide the convicts turned writers former military generals and politicians arent just out for exoneration they want to rewrite the historical record while feeding into nationalistic narratives favored by serbian elites including television channels. Which might explain the popularity of the books in belgrade the listening post johannah whos now on historical revisionist literary. Hutto biographies memoirs novels even poetry more than 120 perks written from behind bars by at least 22 alleged and convicted war criminals. This literary output has been coming out of the Detention Center at the International Criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia the i. C. T. Why since 1993 the school of literature coming from the i. C. T. Why use a stone given to the eyes of the wind i did 161 person as a whole. About 140. 00 actually went into 7 england which is a detention unit Hague Tribunal you can say that every one in 6 prisoners of the i said to you why turned out to be in the order of some kind many of those people are acting for purely political reasons for propaganda reasons there is a certain 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 im now being questioned. And they dont care about facts and they dont care what you were i think about it which is tailor made for the shirt and its made in a way that would fit in the preexisting narrative from what you do for the award of what and who the serbs are. The its about stories stories make nations and i dont kind of this is not going to be remembered as a murdering jews. Sidle mean york but 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 you remembered by future generations of serbs and that is a murderer of albanian children in kosovo but as a great war hero who stood up to nato. And the story. Provision is books written by convicted war criminals are commonly available when the serbian capital belgrade including the books are 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. In 2018 the publishing arm of Serbia Defense Ministry took to belgrade book there to promote its newest release. Mercyful angels in brains. The multivolume wartime diary written by former army general. Who is currently serving a 22 Year Prison Sentence for crimes against humanity details his experiences in the cause of. His presence at the prestigious fair speaks to the popularity of his nationalist message a narrative that 19 years after the end of the who are still actively endorsed by those in power. Source religion the those who were convicted in the Hague Tribunal are widely seen as heroes in their communities and in serbia many of those who participated in making decisions during the war are now in power and they benefit from promoting the use kinds of post messages and narratives for instance have given his books that are promoted by the ministry of defense offer a blow by blow accounts of the nato bombing during the kosovo war however they emit the crimes committed by the serbs these books are an attempt to completely ignore the victims to keep more crimes silent and to present the nato bombing as a hostile attack by International Forces in which only innocent serbs were killed accidentally serbs can i dont when it comes to some of the books 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 for books. And less work and 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 narrative on to the public that the mission is more destruction are still a crisis or about to lose its serbian media play significant grew in bolstering revisionist narratives in the country in november 24 my Bosnian Serb Army command. Come luddy serving a life sentence for your crimes and genocide into a morning Breakfast Show on sirius privately owned Entertainment Channel happy. Sending love to do nation from prison. Cell. Phone doomed from behavior finish the conversation by saying you know. Most of the media see themselves as organisers of state machine themselves as being a part of the serbian cause and contributing to the syrian cause which is the only way you can explain having got online its fallen into a morning talk show having just been found guilty of genocide. Or speak of normalization of. 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 those wanting to recast the facts of that massacre. So this is by far the thorniest usual normal discourse. This is also by far the best prosecuted crime all the crimes of the ninetys its proven beyond reasonable doubt that the culprits are the leaders of other the 1st observers and i can wonder how come that additional facts which could be so well established are facing the storm what does it take actually. Its a question that those pushing back against these are. It is 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 but actively endorsed by those in power attempts to tell the facts as they are are falling on deaf ears being blown to the moot court 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 hidden. My generation which was trying to create a consciousness about these crimes and the people behind them well we have been defeated we werent able to win back the narrative we couldnt make me to follow this up on the crime those responsible for the peace agreements these have been completely removed from the agenda in its place we have this populism on the rights and there seems no space for pushback. Yes a political model would be to say ah. As a survivor of 7 for the survivor of one genocidal episode the 1st emotion that comes is under. Their. Disbelief. And. The fight that. Were dealing with use that. Dont have a problem explaining to do a lecture about why theyre spending millions in genocide no. People im actually managed to move on from there are only 3 of them. And thats the experience of being shot at being killed using your relative was your father was your brother mother sister whatever but the people who did that to them. Have not moved an inch. Knowing a past genocide. Its never just about denying genocide in the past its about planning and who are hoping for the next one. Otherwise why do. Why glorify genocide or meaning why the war farai mass murder. Unless youre prepared to repeat it. And finally before the advent of the World Wide Web who knew how hard it would be to prove that youre not a robot verifying online that youre actually human by taking those picture boxes or trying to read those bits of text that can look like hieroglyphics its no wonder that we sometimes fail the test and by the way you know whos putting us to the test robots hardly seems fair british writer and comedian steve martin feels our pain she lays it all out in this next video well see you next time youre at the listening hyacinths in the style and you know ok.
