We want the peacekeepers to leave. We have lost our family members. So we have to continue the fight and keep their memories alive on the floor. Oh, hes done d r. C is rich in minerals, but its also volatile. More than a 100 armed groups operate in the region. They have plundered villages, killed civilians and forced more than 300000 people to leave their homes. Many kimberly say they want to feel safe, and the peacekeepers are unable to protect them. Catherine, sorry, ill jazeera ah, this is out there, and these are the top stories us. How Speaker Nancy Pelosi has arrived in taiwan. She says her visit shows americas unwavering commitment to supporting tiwana democracy. He is the most senior us official to come to the self governing island in 25 years. Beijing has condemned the visit and vowed to launch what is calling targeted military operations. On these vehicles have been seen patrolling the chinese port secure she and then she can see has more in this from washington dc. Weve had various sort of guests from beijing on our end, the last few hours saying look, if its become such a major issue now, its very difficult of aging, not to react because it will be seen as, as weaknesses capitulation off again, some against an intervention in in the one china policy that the u. S. Im china supposed to be respecting china, it said, do not do not policy should not visit. And in fact, we just had this very interesting statement from the Chinese Ministry foreign affairs, which is very explicitly the u. S. Executive branch has the responsibility to stop such a visit. What we keep hearing, however, from the white house is, is it because of the separate branches of power . The white house have absolutely no say in where polo she goes. United states says it has killed the leader of arcade, or in a drone strike, nascar capitol cobble President Joe Biden says intelligence officials tracked, im on a hearing to a home in the center of the city. The 1st ship for transporting ukrainian grain under an internationally broke a deal has been fight it of the Turkish Coast a day off, leaving the port of a death and then reports that influential iraqi as she lead him to the supporters to withdraw from parliament. In fact, that news continues here and ill just see if the after democracy makes me ah ah, ah all the better. No. I thought of my journalistic camera 44 years ago in 1985. I was appointed the most school bureau, chief of hungary and television. Those were the board bunch of years. Nobody at that time wanted to go to the soviet union. And when i came back home, communism was over in hungary. It was a completely new and strange world. All troops must be withdrawn for important that everybody in hungary had a Great Expectations about democracy and about changing to capitalism. And at that time, hungary was in the forefront of the changes Hungarian Society created legislation model type part is a new lament elected by the people and all the, all the institutions of democracy were billed when the old bond government came to power in my view, it margaret, a sharp change i would say it is much closer to dictatorship. Where are the exclusive only ideology is to retain power at whatever cost the you want to get a good deal. Yeah. Any of you know when, when, when he sent or not, why not or no load i spell out your buffet as the guy as asha was an m ha ha, made the dont actually we didnt ever see frequency on got as if they get and i dont think that victor or band could be voted out of power. No prices is high enough. Just he wants to be in power and that is his only goal in life. This is why i think hes so dangerous for getting democracy. The Prime Minister all came to power for the 1st time, very young still in his thirtys, in 1998. When he lost the elections. I think he made the while to himself that he will never let go with the power to make them keep us stephanie. I mean the yeah. Or by the lord the lecture me was defeated in 2002. That the reason why he was the election because he didnt occupy the museum, my 2010, when he just came to power with a 2 thirds majority. It meant that politically, he can do anything he wants because he had a full even constitutional, strong position in parliament with what am i going off with if you wanted, he could have introduced a kingdom in hunger because of the process. You saw major if you can override the constitution, you can change the the cardinal rules, you can do whatever you want. They changed it within 24 hours. So when he came to power in 2010, i think he had Strategic Plan off not letting go for this bower. And the more you want to know that you were growing respect, sir. Its not for us. Its not 3 years left, free and hungry. First, before he occupied the institutional system prosecutors office, therefore there can be no high level investigation started in government related corruption. And of course he needed to conquer the media because he understood that the media is the 4th key element of any democracy or power. The media through the central bank and many other bodies. So the so called independent institution of brookfield laws, their independence. It has, it really became a typical populace politician. I think the only thing that matters is himself retaining power and making himself ready to reach Abraham Lincoln once said mm, if you want to test a mans character, give him power. Ah, its important to recognize that democracy without constraint can be extremely dangerous. In some places what weve seen is a decay in those liberal rights. Im without actually seeing an elimination of free and fair elections, or the if you could get the planet. I dont see them a little bit. Im so dark. But in to go more systematic runway during most of modern history, up through the mid to late 20th century. The main way in which democracies died was through some kind of violent break. With the past, you know the military out on the street with the tags and the guns over throwing democratically elected governments. These days democracy doesnt die. Suddenly, it dies by a 1000 cuts step by step and it dies silently and incrementally as elected leaders like victor or bon and hungry. Rather than autocrats violently over throwing democratic regimes. They come to power through the ballot box and rather than ending free and fair elections, they gradually undermine the norms and institutions of democracy from with. And so what am i supposed to go to problem with this is that sometimes citizens dont know exactly whats going on until you wake up one day and youre free press is gone. You wake up one day, the system looks the same, but deep down. The system has been turned inside out and transformed from an electoral democracy into a competitive authoritarian regime. I think in the alternator an playbook, the 1st thing, what you have to do if there are still elections, is to change the information environment. 10 years ago when mister bon came to the polar tv allies that he has to control the media. And they started to buy Media Outlets one by one. They have different tactics. If they can buy one media, they are buying. If they intimidate the other one, they are intimidating. And if they close one media, david, close it. So there is a chart on us. But we have to be very careful, of course, and we have to be brave enough to support that pressure. Ah, i was working for the largest daily newspaper at the time called, hun galion nation, while you on them that and 2 days after the connection stay announced that the largest newspaper at the time well be closed. So we decided to estimate weekly magazine called hungary on voice he had no money. So we are starting from scratch. Ready unfortunately in hungary its nobody brave enough to print our newspaper. So i had to find. Ready another option since the beginnings we are printing or newspapers in slow achia, some of the retail chains are not brave enough to sell us. Even the readers are not brave enough to be subscriber, even the market companies, the Multi National ones, doesnt one to, to give advertising to us. Because they are afraid to be punished. Everybody deal with the government. And they doesnt want to take a risk thats all last chance to remain journalist. If the hunger boys will be closed, we have to leave the journalism and we have to find a new way of surviving. So we could be stopped at any time by 2018. They created a huge government controlled media conglomerate off no less than 470. 00 different Media Outlets. This foundation controls about 90 percent of the media, 90 percent of the audience. This is a huge museum machinery that allows the government to boost its messages in a highly concentrated form. More changing the attitude through these information in narrative. And i think change the media landscape and change the electoral system. So that makes it easier for you to read in hungary, the official politics of the government, i think is quest versus theory. And its really remarkable that leading government officials, including the Prime Minister himself, are spreading the dicker. Ask once press theories and if you are opening your mouth and criticizing the government, then you can easily find yourself in a very brutal and this honest this information can be they tried to silence. Glad youre glad you wouldnt fit into this propaganda balloon. Imagine that you spend a lot of time and money to build up a huge air balloon of propaganda and there is a little hole in it. You have to close it. You have to close. Glad you. Because glad you is the little hole. Well, the truth comes out if you close your eyes and, and put aside your moral obligations or professional principles, you can continue working for, for the government media. But you will know that you are lying every day o is also a term popu is under can be better described as the tribal politics because its something an shop here in hungary war bomb is red, said the leader of his tribe. There is nothing in between either your b, the us or a gas spouse. I think this is how democracies start to die. That when you just dont dare to open your mouth, i asked to demonstrate that the Government Action a feeling to be among so many people a what is i think remarkably unique into hunger and case is a door bunk, could do it. The almost no application of wireless handling. This was just one of the towns where protest is reported to have been shocked by the Security Services in mandalay. Sometimes democracy fails. And i think this is an example now that just happened in burma because you have some power for actor external to the political system that doesnt want to allow democracy, that feels threatened by democracy. And i think thats whats happened recently with the military coup. And man mon gun shows police stand the you have a narrow cabal of rulers, and they control armed force. They have a monopoly of force, now that they can suppress popular uprisings for change. Ah ah, i was planning the midnight one minute cool with that commenter in shut off them at all which is a military force all steamers. Ah, i was shocked for a whole day even we predicted them at all. Well take over the control sooner or later. As i am an executive member of revolutionary democratic for me and my comrade stood at our conversation about how can we respond to the action. So i will move that does not support it or rely on any Political Parties or organizations. We walk on any parties who agreeing with our principles, such as abolishing the military region, abolishing 2008 constitution, which is the main pillar of military aging and achieving for democracy and free all political prisoners. I dont want to live and see our generation live under the dictatorship. I a i had a good am i no, i was born and grew up in the middle military combat. As my father was a soldier who my father retired from military since 1999, one on return discrimination policy over race and religion announced and implemented within the middle. According to the policy, the military officers will not be promoted if he or she, if not by the end of that call i only k virus. See by means if you are being kitchen, korean chin, or other at the next and Christian Muslim or other religious, youre virus infect that person and they law in the society. I agree to test whether the government is minorities equal to the major a t people might have a question. Also, susie and our fellows protecting the brutality, so damned, or even as the international state. And why the military wants to cool. It is clear, i dont expect that to, as i say, roll through elect to real process, but you see be filled in both 20152020 election. And of course they are not happy with it. There are places in the world where the military is so powerful, it just doesnt seem to be willing to allow a Democratic Political system. The democracy stems from the innate desire of human beings for dignity, for respect, that comes with freedom and you can have freedom without democracy. In the absence of that, what is to protect you from a knock on the door in the middle of the night from the secret police, or just the police saying youve violated this law or that. And youre being taken away and then who will defend you. And who will protect you when everybody is living under the same fear a with because the really to read it, they hope at the 50 of to put it but not a global like the military guys did read it play hopes or do you need to locate it my wife and my brother since then like, we locate in place that in different places a, a with, ah, i had the information about the cooper tree to your family. So i just called because i knew that they would look for me. But i keep holding in different activities for like a failure to be screwed for with my motorcycle group. We dont know what to do and we dont know were going to have to pay for today. Hm. You know, maybe that versus like doing really to deal with with the the the, the ah, independent minded people are dangerous for any dictator. This is why they try to eradicate them both in style in russia or soviet union in hitlers nazi germany. The same was under cut, duffy in libya, the same happened in romania and nikolai chesko and its happening now in neon mark. I havent seen anything better than democracy. If you turn the question around, you see what the lack of democracy causes in human history. Mass killings, oppression, poverty. So where are we heading . Ah, what we are leaving behind for our children. This is or duty to ring the bell all day that come on guys, we are heading into the wrong direction. Fascination is dissident destabilizing the democratic process. If we lose it, it will be a loss for holding a documentary explores how autocratic leaders undermine democracy to consolidate their power through the eyes of those who dare to stand and defy it. Our country deserves so much better than being ruled by a cleft aquatic dictatorship. Opposing autocracy, democracy maybe on al jazeera. Ah. A slight and robust debates. A lot of folks when they hear the word refugee think stranger, they think other law latrice stuck in these camps. Its regardless of your raise. The way youre coming from. You said give everybody safety from global issues to those that need to be on human rights and land defenders and brazil. They live in a circumstance of permanent violence and intimidation. The st. Claire, a global audience, becomes a Global Community on al jazeera, in a post colonial world. The scars of european imperialism run deep. Nowhere more so than in the democratic republic of congo, where her history still shapes the presence of visceral, yet infamous insight. Through the eyes of a whistleblower and the patriotic military commander witnessed presents. This is congo, honor jesse eva ah al jazeera when ever you
