They are all the headlines. The listening post is next on. I just i care about healthy us engaging with the rest of the world. I cover Foreign Policy, national purity. This is a political impasse. Heres the conflict. Are we telling a good story . Were really interested in taking you into a place that you might not visit otherwise and to actually feel as if you were there. What is ellen musk playing at the worlds richest man . Seems to think hes a geopolitical influence. Rupert murdoch, and the art of succession. What comes next for the elderly media baron and his family . And lest we forget, the lead us head that outlasted the you case latest Prime Minister. Ah, hello, im richard. Disparate in europe, the listening post where we dont cover the news, we cover the way the news is covered. The worlds richest man is turning into one of its loudest voices, not content with manufacturing cars generating energy, getting into space travel. Elan mosque is in the midst of a 44000000000. 00 takeover of twitter and now considers himself a geopolitical player. Mosque has business interests in russia. He has proposed a way out of the war in ukraine that is in line with what moscow wants that did not go down well in kias, then mosque threatened to cut ukrainians off from his Satellite Network star link, denying them and their armed forces critically important access to the internet, he has also injected himself into the dispute between china, where his company is heavily invested. And taiwan. Does the world really need an erotic billionaire with a sizable ego and 0 geopolitical expertise messing with conflicts in which they have a personal financial stake. Our starting point this week, his he long, oh, in some ways you law must, is a unique billionaire. I know of no other billionaires with master public attention mastered the ability to have people talk about it. Clearly hes motivated by this deep desire to bat. He wants to get involved in all of these areas where he has no expertise, and its very dangerous. Whether its twitter lock in a pool or use on humans with the credit. Those are the features stalling. It all seems like living in the lower mosques will, and i think thats how he likes it. Why would you want to talk dude, life, but his pension for simply staring up controversy is not helping. If he does really want to help the world and how phone hon. People like those, and he long musk is the richest person on the planet. Most of his social capital comes from his more than 100000000. 00 followers hanging on his every 24. 00 ukrainians mosques, persistent post about his on again off again plan to buy twitter or trolling. His critics or a side show in a far more serious story because they rely on musk satellite Internet Provider darling to stay connected. Informed journalists depend on it to get the story from the war zone out to the world, and for ukraines military forces. Starling is a weapon that gives them a decided advantage on the battle. Traditionally, you will get access to the internet through cables that connect countries under our oceans, stalling cuz Something Different and it satellite Internet Connection. Lots of these satellites already. Low earth orbit. Something like 550 kilometers above all ruth surface. And it allows people to hows that traditional Internet Connection to still connect to the internet. Because this is a lifeline for people in order to communicate some of the horrors that are going on in ukraine. Right. Now to start like is option absolute central visitors lod communication thats been secure amongst ukraine chips. I like the Russian Troops that have used open Radio Communication at times. Either shes open up to attacks. You crash may well he is marked acknowledges and martyr communication which is other execute very complex missions behind lines. Simply the russians are simply not able to do at this point. Theres no missing words. Starling has been a Heroic Service for many ukrainians, but the larger point is we dont have enough transparency and to starlings finances into a what their arrangements are with the u. S. Or any other government or into exactly who as elan mosque is speaking with, given that hes at the helm of this company, that is all the sudden providing essential services to a vulnerable population. And thats really at risk just how vulnerable ukrainians are became clear earlier this month. When musk tweeted out of proposed solution to the conflict. One suspiciously along the lines of the kremlin. A ukrainian diplomat responded to musk on twitter using the most and diplomatic language imaginable. Must event tweeted that making star link available to ukrainians for free was costing his company 20000000. 00 a month. Implying that unless others, including the pentagon, stepped up with the money ukrainians and their armed forces could be cut off. Since then both the u. S. And the e u of signaled they may provide the funding ukrainians remain connected through star linked for now. This leads to a larger problem with how we depend on private infrastructure for crucial public serv. It might Say Something about my own character, but in the long term, i think we have much bigger issues to concern ourselves about when it comes to providing Internet Service in these crucial areas. Why was he trying to shake the craniums for this essential service . If you look the history, you know, must corporations, if historically sock every handouts from the u. S. And other corporations have made lots of money in this war. Theyve been receiving Us Government contracts. And he thought it was just that his corporation would also be compensated, speculating as nuff motivations is a losing battle. I think we need to focus on why any billionaire seems to be making Foreign Policy for the u. S. Or any other government . Why we as a society are letting one private, rather opaque Company Become such an essential partner of this vulnerable population in ukraine. There are more satellite Internet Providers out there than star link, not to mention the all the other Innovative Technologies that can get people connected to me. For years now, ilan mosque has been speaking out on multiple topics, such as his contention that social media platforms require less intervention and more freedom of speech. His for res into the complex world of geo politics. Usually by way of his twitter feed or a more recent development, just a week after, reportedly speaking with latimer pewter, than echoing moscow as idea of what a Peace Agreement in ukraine should consist of. He weighed in on another dispute that pitts east versus west china. And taiwan, he told the financial times, the taiwan, which declared independence in 1949, should be turned into a special administrative zone of china and come under beijings control. The Chinese Ambassador to the u. S. Took the twitter to think much, not that hes sweet, saw the lot of likes in china. The platform is band there, but must, has a lot riding in the country. He is increasingly reliant on its Manufacturing Sector and has his eyes on the worlds biggest consumer market. Elan must clearly considers himself a geopolitical player, entering a world in which he has little experience to offer just interests to protect. Really, china and taiwan is the big game for him because he has big interests in tesla, in china, or china is a massive market. And therefore he wants to keep the Chinese Communist party on his side. Thats what is motivating him in making these public outbursts. Its ultimately bottom line business for him. I dont think hes being particularly greedy or ambitious when he dances with vladimir pu or claims to dance with vladimir putin. Hes just feeding his own ego. And its deeply worrisome because its not done out of any profound insight or knowledge. Its done purely on a when he runs this Major Company space acts, which has engineers and scientists. And yet he, as the boss, is an unstable person who doesnt actually know whats going on. Thats a very dangerous situation. Ah, whenever ellen musk wants to get the word out, twitter remains his platform of choice. 6 months ago when he announced his 44000000000. 00 bid to buy the company, he indicated that he would loosen its content, moderation and platforming policies. 3 months later he threatened to pull his offer off the table, only to commit to it once again. A few weeks ago, ah, why the interest in the 1st place . Ellen musk has got the followers, 100000000 plus. How would taking ownership of twitter benefit a billionaire who already seems to have it all. Its something that he. Busy rises adds to persona, you know, from other businessmen been able to dominate the news waves in allows you to, to really have a lot of capital, no academic cap, cuz its social capital. Through that social capital, youre able to build an image to build your own persona, which other is then then a fight with. He wants to control the public sphere in which we communicate in which we converse. He has significant concerns about the site and the way that its run. Hewitt decides to platform and who doesnt. I think that means why he is so keen to take it over is he likes power and he knows the power of twitter because he has more than 100000000 people who hang ultimately on his every word must twitter battle is a race to the bottom everyone is losing on the way down again, you know, as bags of questions about who is in control of these essential communication platforms. Why are these singular billionaires making policy and advancing agenda rather than bribery, civil societies, strong institutions, and folks who believe in Public Infrastructure . Unfortunately, right to freedom of expression and robust public discourse, thats really getting the short end of the worlds most famous media mobile. Rupert murdoch seems to be on the verge of a Major Business move. This one is not just about the bottom line. Its more about the line of succession monopoly. Robbie has the details. Richard, those in the know say that Rupert Murdoch is about to combine the 2 halves of his media empire. Fox corp paid in company of the writing american outlet, fox news, news corp, which owns publications like the times in the sun in the u. K. And the New York Post and the wall street journal in the u. S. Being the companies under one roof, we create a mega Media Corporation that can better compete for Online Advertising and subscriptions with tech giants like google, amazon, and netflix. This isnt a done deal yet. Fox corp makes money, but its business brand is toxic, and Many News Corp shareholders may not want it in their portfolio. At 91 succession planning is something Rupert Murdoch has already been doing for decades. And this plan would clear the way for his eldest son, laughlin murdock, who eventually take over the entire media empire. He already had fox corp and co chaired at news corp, ideologically Laughlin Murdoch is known to be like the typically fox news viewer writing more than a little conspiracy. And triggered by so called political walking. Under his watch, fox news has sometimes provided a mainstream platform for some extremist views from the fringes of the american right. As it tonight, tens of millions of american suspect. This election was stolen from the if this deal does go through an laughlin murdock, the influence grows across the news corp. Prepared to see some editorial changes, not to be confused with improvements at outlets like the wall street journal. Thanks me to the United Kingdom is in a state of political disarray with the Ruling Conservative Party melting down. Prime minister list trust resigning after just 44 days in office and the Wider Population dealing with a cost of living crunch. A rare wave of work stoppages has portrayed unions and the medias treatment of them into the spotlight. As successive rail strikes have taken place, influential right wing newspapers, including those owned by Rupert Murdoch, have cited with the government, blaming the union for travel disruptions that set the stage for a string of bruising broadcast interviews with the unions leader, nick lynch. But lynch has flipped the script, putting journalists on the defensive, over their habitual anti union approach. Combat of exchanges have since gone viral, shifting public opinion, the unions way exposing the kind of hostility on the medias part that has long undermined the case working classes. The listening posts, daniel tory now on the coverage of labor issues in the british media. More than a 100000. 00 roll male postal workers have gone, striking a dispute over pay. When an unprecedented moment in british politics. For the 1st time in 40 years, were having a significant burst of inflation workers at the countrys largest contain a shipping port finished. I have joined the list of those on strike from a price, the rise of bus, Something Like 10 percent, 12 and 13 percent a year. Barristers have been taking action over a month, escalating now with the all out action and with being food supplies. 15 years of repeating squeezes on peoples wages. Its the biggest train strike in over 3 decades. In this moment, trade union is that we have this huge central significance at the full front of the strike sweeping across britain is the rail maritime transport. Union the warranty in june, its members walked out to the 6th time this year of the pay and plan job comes for 3. 00 days, much of the countries metro and braille network was at a standstill. And in the News Coverage, the r m t was feeling the heat for a lot about you is you are the face or the stress, the disruption that they gotta face. But where the unions leader make lynch hit the t. V. Studios. The tables began to time. Lynch is someone who is prepared to take on the media in a way that we dont often see how ever much latent journalists try to attack it. He can stand up to his or you, or are you not a marxist . Because if you are a marxist then your into revolution and into bringing down capitalism, richard, you to come up with the most remarkable twaddle, jumped on his technique is very much to question the question of the minor. Sure, boy, overlaid should i just am just to clarify it off in the world real. Its very rare for a trade union leader and to be able to stand up till media pressure the way a t been t use ago. We have a trading leader, is a trading leader will turn up in the studio and would be to be bullied by a tv present. If you see the marginalized road of trade unions in many areas of life, you are a dinosaur. Oh, and then the die ah, there was a raffle on while you watch mc leach, do a t, v and v a t. V presenter might have one or 2 facts and make lynch knows the book on, on, on his own dispute. But interestingly, what hes doing, hes talking directly past the interviewer to the public because people cant take it anymore. Weve got people who do in full time jobs, who are having to take state benefits and use food banks. That is a national disgrace. Hes making clear that the dispute has got something to do with everyone, sat at home watching this in t v news, a sort of message that really has struck a chord. Because because of inflation, there are lot of frightened people in this country. And they see at last, heres a union leader who can stand up for them in the media and they like it. By the time the rail strike was ending. Ready and mit lynch was done sparring with the media. Something highly unusual. It happened. Public opinion had swung behind the orange t. But it wasnt enough to force government and the Rail Companies it toes to offer a deal. Industrial disputes take time and in the past, hostile News Coverage has helped to break stride much larger than the r n ts grieving critical week for the miners strike. Would it flare up into an all out war between the unions on the government or would it fizzle . Out in the 1980s, the conservative Prime Minister, margaret thatcher, privatized british industries, and took on trade unions that stood in her way. The coal miners union, led by office goggle, was among the largest and most military. And when they went on strike, thatcher made an example of in the year long nation wide dispute that followed. The media would play a pivotal rope starting with thatchers allies in the press. The treaties were operation in the 1980s against to patch off of an unsympathetic press. And thats putting it mildly, the interests of the owners of the newspapers was themselves to limit the power of the trans unions before the 1980s. The, the print in years decided whether or not the newspapers came out, and the proprietors resented that. The miners strike was defined by battles outside kola between strikers, trying to shut down production and the Police Police officers committed the worst of the violence sometimes unprovoked. But it was the violence of scowl strikers that dominated the headlights and produced a powerful medium heritage of the miners as an angry mob, a scowl as a public enemy. What was so exceptional about the miners strike was that we had a government that understood how to use the media. If you can use the newspapers to set up the agenda. This will also be reflected in what appears on radio and tell us. After 2 hours the police were tired of being pushed and pelted with health briggs thickets knew what to expect. Theyd been warned to put a nasty, addicted. These were the strikers who was threatening law and order. These were the strikers who were the marxists to wanted to bring down the government of the day. There was no doubt that scogel was demonized to a degree that no other union leader has in my life time to set expense cargo office, ga, ga, was his own worst enemy to hell with an industry that cant pay high wages. He cast himself in a, in a very aggressive role and that enabled the press to make him out as some sort of devil incarnate. He was there to try to take the country died. I look back as a broadcaster, i was with the b, b, c. And i really realized that, although it was inadvertent, i become almost a cheerleader for mrs. Sacha. Because i was following her agenda. She was determined to get half the mind was back at work and then she could declare victory, which she did. And it was done on the back of the news media. Oh she, britains trade union still live in the shadow cast by the thatcher years fenced in by some of the strictest anti strike laws in europe. Their membership is declined by half since they peak in the late seventys, the journalists who used to cover them, industrial correspondence, the woburn vanished to replaced by Business Reporters or generalists like the present, as mc lynch has faced, youre often better at generating heat for ratings and clicks than they are shedding lights. It makes me laugh honestly, that you have the hood as your profile because as a mine, the rates have gone the world. Well, it makes me laugh at your level of journalism is descended so far that you cant think of any other question robin. I think im here are the picket line for the latest rail strike in central london. Its the warranty 7 stripes so far this year. And i come here to ask mick lynch, how he sees the british media today compared to the days of office cargo . Well, back in those days we had the freshmen in the Newspaper Media and we had a couple of channels, bbc and i tv. But what weve got now is that a flourishing of outlet says lots of different digital channels, but also the social media channel. And it allows trade unionism to have more of a say whether it gets across hello is another way because the written media is still a very important aspect in this country. And you now have a lot more public support your course. But you did at the time of the law strike, you secretly want to thank those tv presents as well as b to turn. I think what happened to those journalists . They werent with it because that they regurgitate the press releases that they get an, an editorial lines is changed actually, in the last few weeks, some of those mainstream journalists, i showed a bit more respect, frankly, and have been a bit more cynical about what theyve been told by the government. And so weve seen a bit of a change of attitude, but we still have to work hard to fund i voiced your members may meet lynch is handling of the u. K. Media has given the countries trade unions of boost as they continued as strikes. But like off the scandal on the miners, lynch the r and t and the rest of britains unions face a conservative government that is refusing to back down and has threatened another anti union crackdown. It sets the stage for another conflict, one in which the media will once again be participants as well as others. And finally, just how much of a failure was the now former british Prime Minister list trust. In her 44 days in the job, before she resigned, she saw her economic plans shredded ministers were hired and fired far too quickly for journalists to keep up. In the british pound tanked against other currencies, even the u. Case right wing tabloids, the typically do the bidding of and help elect conservative governments had had enough. So were leaving now with a collection of tabloids front pages starting with some from a few years ago. Backing various conservative leaders then moving on to trusses, chaotic time at 10 downing street, one paper was actually comparing trust to a head of lettuce, wandering, which would prove to have a longer shelf life. We now know the answer to that question. Was the next on gear of the listening. Ah ah ah ah ah, my recognize that given the situation i cannot deliver the mandates on which i was elected by the conservative policy. I therefore slave him to his majesty the king, to notify him the i am resigning as leader of the conservative halting lou november on a jessie. You know, as the footballing wells greatest tournament kicks off, all eyes tend to cattle as they prepare the spectacle. Like no other old ways for new days.
