Listening fro any noise from below that may indicate someones there. And as always, possibly becoming increasingly worried about how badly some of the survivors may have been injured. As we phone risk to as cool for silence. They think theyve heard something, but as the minutes go by, no luck this time. And the next thing that i want to see, my aunt and her daughter, thats what they want. But the hopes of many, like stephen, depend on the risk you work is getting to those who attract as fast as possible to meet them all out to 0. George, so lets bring you some dramatic pictures just coming out of a stumble. Apple. Its a boeing 767 cargo plane was false alarm. Dont know whos on the runway bounced off to its gear failed. 5 scientists rushed to the plane to ensure the fire broke out. The amazing pictures as well. The olympic flame has finished. Its 12 day journey from athens. Html site. Thats over a 150000 people gathered to the south coast of phones to watch the rise over a 1000 boat as a company that the 3 mast ship called to sell him as a french olympic swimming champion. Floral mother brooks, the flame brought probably the flame to lunch. Now the flame was late to the ancient olympia. Early in april and on thursday, a torch relay will start across the country and will end. And the french capital for the lighting of the flame on july, the 26th to month, the start of the powers, im going to change the 2020 full or. And those were the News Headlines with things the whole problem with the healthy bucket full needs and just and a half last time that next done on the listing types of to stay with the a week to look at the worlds top business stories. How much is the rebuilding going to cost . Who pays from Global Markets and economies of Small Businesses have just started seeing and station come down and how it affects the lives . How big a problem is going on . Food insecurity. Counting the cost on al jazeera anti war protests sweep across University Campuses in the United States, the police response. The violence has been shocking. So as some of the reporting from the american mainstream meetings, i see journalist joining in a bit to whip up his syria to swear and abuse students, and to will protest and student journalists in new york city. Having seen their university lock reporters out of the story are filling the void in the news coverage. The protest movement rocking College Campuses in the United States is like nothing the country has seen. For decades. The students hunker down at 30 plus the universities are demanding those institutions divest from companies that profit from these really military judging by the violent backlash from militarized Police Forces. That kind of dissent against the complicity in a genocide is off limits in president bidens america. This movement is not just about students, professors, faculty members are also involved. And they have been mischaracterized at times, demonized by the american Political Class and much of the news media sleeping, anti zionist slogans as evidence of anti semitic since they have smeared the demonstrations as racist for months. Now, american politicians and news outlets have been in lock step, distorting the facts helping is real justified. Its mass slaughter of palestinians in gaza. And that same coalition has no effectively put targets on the backs of students, Young American voices of defense in the so called land of the free divest or prepare for protest on your doorstep. Thats the message american universities have been getting for 3 weeks now. From students demanding their school sever all ties to any company profiting from the war on gosh, to campus on opposite coasts columbia in new york. And you see a late in los angeles have been the primary flash points with 2 Police Forces, having different responses. Disproportionate violence against the protesters being n y c, the wow. You know, way when a pro israel mob attack the pro power started encampment with fireworks medical rods, tappers freight police were nowhere to be found. The when they finally showed up the way that the intent firing rubber bullets and flashbanc explosives at the 2nd. The crackdowns came a missed some questionable Media Coverage in the us that verges on the demon orientation of a pro Peace Movement with students somehow getting a lumped in with previous threats to american democracy. This does look like january 6th, what a terrible example for our students, for News Networks and television stations, and anchors to use it to explain. The protests that are happening at us universities is a politicized. Could 5 message that these are radical, fanatical groups. They need to be incarcerated. You need to be prosecuted and persecuted. Theres no other solution to it. Now from our perspective as protestors, we were engaging in our Civil Liberties regarding free speech and the right to protest and we are doing so in a peaceful manner. However, the actions of the government, the limits of state troopers against Peaceful Protesters is an act of buttons, specifically for political means and the fact that my own government would take that stance against me and my fellow protesters for utilizing our Civil Liberties is just a catastrophe in such a politically divided country during an election year. It is noteworthy that the democratic president and key republican c i to i on the campus protest we met with your students werent fear, they cant come on campus. They cant study for their final exams. That framing of the protests as inherently anti semitic, has persistently featured in the mainstream Media Coverage wasnt just august. 2024 in los angeles are getting back to the 19th thirtys in europe. I do not say that lightly. The fear among jews in this country is palpable right now. American news outlets frequently platform the likes of jonathan green, black of the anti defamation. An influential pro is real lobby group. I for these images of a mass of protesters breaking into buildings, barricade, furniture, and loss. Im reminded of january the 6th. Thats what this looks like to the green black can also be counted on to conflate criticism of israel with any sex. There have been reports of anti semitic rhetoric on campus, but they have been rare evidence of it, like this incident at columbia is extremely hard to find. The and jewish students have been at the core of the protest movement on multiple campuses. They have had their religious traditions, such as the prayers that recently marked the start of passover celebrate by jews and non jews. A lie. I myself, am a jewish students. I would not be comfortable in any space that i viewed as remotely a. And so my experience the protestors have viewed me as a brother for groups like the 80 all to come out and say that the Palestinian Protesters on campus are equivalents, hamas and hezbollah is utterly disingenuous. Or ron has their military proxies like has vala and iran has their campus proxies like these groups like s j, p and g d p. Im not surprised that green blood is doing this, but i am surprised by a journalist, a core that has abdicated its responsibility. To push back to scrutinize to ask questions instead, theyre platforming him in order to run propaganda and talking points in a way thats quite offensive to the Media Outlets themselves. And especially especially tv brace students who are taking tremendous risks in order to exercise their conscience and screen very loudly, not in our name, not in our time, no genocide against anyone ever. Again, of course, this is completely contrary to the way in which western media of the same channels themselves reflect on and represent similar actions in other countries. For example, in the air of spring uprisings in egypt, antonia and syria, and libya and elsewhere, they were running to those protest sites to celebrate how these protesters were taking over building were challenging the authoritarianism of the state and confronting police. People of the city. So many libyans, but when it comes to us territory, this is completely anathema is unacceptable. Astronomy to control the ongoing chaos or College Campuses across the United States. In the depiction of the protesters as dangerous for a threatening is not only an exaggeration, it is actually quite laughable. Nevertheless, that narrative is all over the American Airway space. E, something on tick tock, and theyre like, its real bad. And on how moscow and they go out and they start shouting a chance. News outlets have simultaneously overlooked a feature of this story, for which there was far more evidence. The provocative behavior of pro is really counter protest because some of whom were caused confusion. The one at Northeastern University in boston who shouted, killed the jews, prompting a police rate and the arrest of more than 100. 00 pro palestinian protest. There were disturbing incidents at u. C. L. A. Israel supporters spitting on the 2nd releasing mice into their encampment and rushing violence upon the branding the campus protest. As anti symmetric also provides police and National Guard troops, some of whom have shown up on a correspondence with a means to justify the man handling of the protest, throwing elderly professors to the ground. And that labelled air. The symmetric hasnt just come out of fox news for the pro israel log. Its everywhere. This is incredibly concerning. The right are opportunistically and successfully using this moment in order to expand police power. At this point you can only process the lights and hurts nobodys feelings, which means its a performance. But you cant actually protest in a way that challenges power. And we should all be scared, freaking out even that if we allow them to do this in this moment, theres no limit, they wont stop University Administrations or calling the police and sections of the army to arrest violently. 192021 year old who are protesting agend size. So you dont call the police and the army on to campuses. When youre winning the argument, right, you call them on to campuses when youre losing and thats why were University Administrators are calling in the military and Police Forces because the narrative has failed. Those universities, their reputations as bastions of free speech, are also taking your beating. After columbia, as president called the pop up attempt village there, a clear and present danger. Police were called in arresting more than 100. 00 protesters, which the schools on Human Rights Institute been conduct after activists at the university of texas to find an order from the school to disperse. Brian police got the call and arrested 50 of Dartmouth College in New Hampshire has banned its head of jewish studies from cabins. She had already been knocked to the ground and a respite. Viper leaves with columbia story sticks. It is located on there with the Upper West Side of manhattan and fame for its journalism. Many of whose graduates now were at mainstream news of friends when police came onto the campus. Columbia locked reporters out, preventing from covering the crack at a university which dispenses Pulitzer Prize for excellence in american journal university. These are advocating the responsibility. They should be the space precisely where students are learning, becoming critical thinkers to eventually be part of a ruling class that is going to make decisions with responsibility. And rather than in be a space where they can do that, universities have become an extension of a state at war. They are upset about the students were making their war efforts, their genocidal efforts more complicated. I have been teaching myself for 20 years and i have never seen the repression of Academic Freedom and speech in the way that i have seen across the campuses. Since october of 2023. There have been many controversial political issues where our communities have differences of opinion, but there has never been the repression of station in that context. Does the us today at this moment stands for Media Freedom . You know, i think im, i dont think i need my ph. D and media studies to answer that question. The answer is now the, were going to do a little deeper into the story at Columbia University in new york, where students have gone for being journalists in training to journalists on the job. And their work is proving valuable. Mean obviously, robbie is here with more with the track down on profile as time protests unfolding, quite literally on the doorstep. Students at columbia journalism programs have found themselves exactly where to pull it as always hope to be at the heart of the story. Since the school has restricted Mainstream Media as access student doing this have effectively become the primary source of news. Columbia has 2 main Media Outlets, the universitys newspaper, the spic data, and 880 station, w k. C. I usually need their content only the to staff and students, but the past 2 weeks. The minute by minute on the ground reporting has attracted audiences worldwide. Theres currently unlike the opposites that are crowding around the entrances of the west bond and they are now entering the west fund with so much interest in that coverage. The unusually high traffic overloaded this big data at w p. C. Our websites, both expedients outages beyond the live news updates the students doing this are also doing in depth investigative look, including stories on allegations of anti semitism on campus. But also editorializing producing Opinion Pieces about this close administration. And its handling of the protesters and the demands for the news organizations have benefited from the work of these young journalists. The students have set up a newsroom to 5 reports for news outlets around the world, including doing life hits on tvs. Youve been at the center of these protests not only as a student, but also as a reporter, covering much of the work has collected misinformation, circulating online and in us mainstream coverage is another way to put it journalism. Students at columbia, a schooling, the Mainstream Media on the coverage of a critically important story. Thanks me. Staying with the shortcomings in the Media Coverage of those student protests, one voice well placed to assess just white journalist. Keep getting it so badly wrong is maybe has on a former colleague of hours here at algebra. He then spent 3 years as a program host at m. S. Nbc and peacock. He left the Network Earlier this year to do his own thing hoss on has launched as a tale, a new site that he says will bring hard hitting interviews and honest bearing analysis that you wont find elsewhere. You know, ive never been afraid to ask the tough questions. My time to continue doing that. Maybe hassan joins us now from washington, dc. Many you have just stepped out of the cable news ecosystem. And this past week, we spotted a tweet of your saying that the Mainstream Medias coverage of the campus protests against the gaza genocide is actually worth more biased, more dishonest then its coverage of the gods of genocide itself. Nobody saw that coming. How is it even possible . Yeah, i wanted to say, how is that even bosom . I spent the last 6 months critique in the Mainstream Media, both from within when i was a m, as a b, c. And since i left a couple of months ago, and yet the events of the last week, 10 days here in the United States and the coverage of whats happening on campus is, is just so, shockingly, by that im looking at whats happening and does what im saying well, at least theres some good coverage of god, at least as some investigations by nbc news and bbc news and sky news. Show whats happening in got mazda 2 palestinians. I dont see any Good Journalism in the coverage of the campus partners. I see the journalist joining in uh it to with pop hysteria, to misrepresent facts on the ground to smear and abuse student n t will protest is wheres the coverage of the guy who turned up with a nice a pro palestine demonstration of pro is rel protester. Where is the coverage of uh, the, the pro is rel protesters who shouted, killed the jews sarcastically. And the University Went interested this profile, this time student thinking, they said it, i mean, its just a cover. Just so one side of the tweet of mind that you went from was, was a direct response to state cnn segment from a sprint news anchor, basically smearing for the kids on campuses and do so much. And comparing America Today to 1930 is germany. People have lost their minds or do you think it has anything to do with the fact that these are american institutions that are under attack as opposed to the gaza story, which is another country that the us has a relationship with a 100 percent. I think a lot of it has to do with elite media and elite politicians, losing their mind. Never elite universities. Youll know a lot of this is going on in Ivy League Schools in columbia in yale. There is, there was a lot of, uh, you know, uh, editors in use rooms. We went to the schools and whose kids that go into the schools, the politicians whose kids go to school. Lets just think that is a real issue where its very personal for a lot of people covering this stuff. And um, that adds to the level of barrel panic. Thats driving a little bit special. The determination that these protestors have shown courage in the face of suspensions expulsions from school. Extraordinary police violence. How does that contrast with the positions that weve seen in media and political heavyweights . When it comes to discussing israels assaults on garza over these last 7 months . Its a good question, which is a good comparison when we talk about kind of moral courage, we havent seen much from a political immediately People Living fee, and thats the great tragedy. If everyone in all political immediately was completely pro israel, thatd be fine. I mean, i wouldnt agree with them, but that was fun. But the truth is, as you and i both went, as ive experienced best times, a lot of these people in private will say stuff, they website and public because theyre scared about being losing their job. So being accused of being pro him also being choose to be anti semitic or you know, not getting invites to the right kind of policy. And so they stay quiet and you know, you see the killing of palestinian joy lives in gauze or the failure of western genesis because that itself, a lack of moral courage. And when you see the students, however, as you say, risking that career is Airlines Getting docs getting physically assaulted as an u. C. L a. They are showing us more. Okay. So 1st thing is we never learn from history is amazing. Which of the we say, oh, well, the civil rights protest, there is a student, youve got assaulted by the police and the demonized by the media. The anti vietnam will protest assaulted by the police, demonized by the media, the and to south africa in a pop type protest assaulted by the police, demonized by the we did the wrong little protest. We go through the list and every month with almost every juncture, the students on the right side of history and the media and political leads on the wrong side. And yet we never to try to ask you about the white house Correspondents Dinner last weekend. Palestinian journalist in guys are urge their journalists, fellow journalists in the us to boyd, caught that event. Same quote, to fraternize that an event with president 5 would be to normalize sanitized whitewash. The administrations role in genocide you did not attend. What did you make of those who did . And what went down at that glitzy dinner . What happens . Give us walk us through the spectacle, the optics. So i was supposed to go in as a guest about let me do organization. I used to go with nbc but always have left that before i went to years running and even before the rigid as you well know, there would be long debates in this town about whether generally should attend the dinner. The pros and cons of it, did i feel a little cd gary been asked to use . Yes, but i, i try, i just dividing my head as well as you know, just as zillow typical experiments, i have to pull up to come to wherever the off land. Okay. It was fascinating. It look, im a journalist. I enjoyed go to events where you meet other journalists, you make connections, have contacts, you know, meet people, havent seen for awhile. So you know is, is there a home to it . Yes. Is there a proved to it . You know, i enjoyed trouble noticed that couple of years ago i enjoyed really with junior as a roasting of the president of the media last year. This is comedian didnt do so much. The rest of the present was actually a little differential to present by not surprisingly, so maybe not surprising, but the bigger issue is days out of state and journalist was saying, please, boy, got this, didnt advocate the bite and administration is compressed. Its going to tax on journalist, engage with American Made weaponry. You condo on the law for about stuff with the president , the have the president talked about free speech. Know mentioned the journalist by the way, as predicted by them did not mention the Record Number of just well the 90 journalist go to committee to protect jealous, killed in gaza since october the 7th. And the president , the White House Correspondent association mentioned that in passing to be fed her. She did mention the clinic and probably getting jealous, but bite and didnt obviously the comedian didnt. And its a problem, right. And the problem is the people in this town, both politicians get, lets just dont see palestinians as full human beings. Thats just the reality. And weve, weve, weve slowly come round to accepting out kind of implicit biases when it comes to our treatment a. But people, but we still havent really kind of reckoned with how we c brown people in the middle east as expendable as not for the human as um, people because of how else to explain the fact that Media Industry insight as well make lots of noise. But gentlest and ukraine, or russia, but not, and gosh, why is, how do we justify the, i dont know, the honest by frustrated. Its terrific. Finally, were on the precipice, possibly of a full scale invasion of rough or bias really forces. We know how disastrous that could be. What kind of questions should american journalists be asking of the administration, the state department, those officials now as well to be fair to some of my colleagues of state development briefings might lead from a p and, and side arrow cap and ryan graham and from tucker there have been some Great Questions if youll view as of what some of them theyre worth watching, but not as a whole. The prescott needs to be much more to hold as administration to account for a direct role in the a trustee for far too long default to many months. We simply reported on leaks out of the white house trip. Im very upset with benjamin that no strobe, i dropped the f bomb on benjamin the stove. Im very reluctant. Yes, thats not good enough. All right, we need to publicly hold administration to account biden blinking, allow us to them as to why they are involved in these mass cummings, why theyre allowing as well to cross their red line and why they dont innocent bystanders. Us on a bystander, us is offering and funding, its very much a participant in what is going on and goes and the media need to make that clear to that view as and read as elizabeth and the media also need to make that clear. And the questions to the administration, the number one question should be, why are we not there . Why do we not have western media organizations on the ground in gaza in rough . What does the israel have to hide . Why is israel blocking access . And why is the administration, ill tell you what this wouldnt be, ill tell you any other was there in the well, with a government blocking access to the free press. Why we just normalize this over 7 months. Maybe hassan, great to have you back on out to 00. However, temporarily. Best of luck with the new platform is a tale and we hope to speak to you again sometime soon. Thanks for having me. Richard. The whats the us consumed over campus protests that are now nationwide the largest story at the core of all this israels genocidal assault on gaza is getting less coverage then it had before. It could not be a more dangerous moment for that to happen. Israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly said he will launch a full scale invasion of the Southern City of rough or come what make a whole range of voices have warrant. Just have catastrophic that would be forcibly displacing illegally. More than a 1000000 palestinians who have already been chased from their homes with nowhere safe to go. But in israel, among extremist elements in nothing you know, whose government, the invasion of ross has almost become an article of faith. It is the fulfilment of what those politicians have always said. It was as one is really minister reiterated this past week. The total annihilation of guys will be keeping our eyes on what happens in rafa and beyond. And well see you next time here at the listening post. One of the biggest selections of 2024. India is general election. Will administer now render movies be taking increase its route across the country . How will Economic Uncertainty and youve sent employment sway voters in key states and will the media be able to cover the vote, reading unfairly, ongoing coverage. But in the, as the elections on out to 0 now is the time to be direct. Israels project has been to completely conflict zionism and judy as a. But this was not a jew, israels, of state. And they need to be treated as any other state. What. This is where the tough questions are asked. Can you see negotiations being even happen . This is not important, which of these are going to negotiate, poll, unapologetic, im just asking last upfront on out here and you will see caught a duty in a grove using for its p use a card to contribute to improving the lives of thousands of our projects except the cost and we strive to ensure it reaches its deserving recipients, visit the cost on the web presence.
