and 6 months old part of any sangre and one security forces to put an end to violence in his country. some people tell me that it seems nothing happened to me, but i'm keeping it inside. i'm devastated. i'd try every day, not to go mad. on sunday, if we're dorians headed to the poles, 2 volts in a referendum to the side, the country's future people have to mark with a yes or no 11 questions. you can see them right here. 5 of them are mental with countries constitution. i'm the mostly related to the current security situation, whether people would like to see the military to patrol with the police. also, for example, allowing criminals to be expedited to other countries. the majority of the population voted yes to all of the security questions. mendoza says, the situation needs to change good by you just on the to the side of the countries

destroyed because of criminal groups with now that know bowers in power. maybe we can see something change the results are seen as a sign of support for president. many and noble at hard line security plan to fight against criminal organizations that have taken control over large parts of the country. in january, the government declared a state of emergency and deployed the military on the streets and inside prisons that had become operating centers for drug guns. on the day of the referendum at prison warden, west killed in a restaurant showing just how difficult battling guns continues to be for many now, while he's trying to imitate the security plan of a set of other precedents, maggie will kaylee. he managed to reduce gang related violence in his country. but any say there was a difference. okay, let 8th, i mean i, the kelly was a man, had some type of call context with the criminal groups. we recognize the territory

that did not happen here. but the response to that for now, people want government tax and against the criminal groups that most of them say has them living in constant fear. it is symbol i just see to buddha, and it was all let's say for me full time, you called at the stories that we're covering here on out there by logging onto a website to out. is there a don't comes updates. it's about say, we're still flexing of quotes on the oregon, so we'll bring it up. dates, of course, and just under half of that, it's time straight to after the listing post to what you on the is there a thanks for your time at your company. the, these are the must, these or drum is. they used to march 3 d o t before dawn box with an increase is really military presence. it's too dangerous. as daylight arrives at austin begins

instead of traditional decorations, the streets of cods, images of young palestinians killed by his ready forces. it's not just a lot of decorations, usually during ramadan, thousands of policies and tory for is the city often defies the physical we used to be lost on the street right now look, it's easy to move around the same as long as we different and warren go to change the situation in nablus, we had 70 percent more business people here say the higher the month is even more significant this year, a foster and besides with those hungry and suffering in gaza. it was an iranian military attack that was made for tv. so was the, is randy response, but what will all this lead to, apart from taking the fives of the world off of goss terminology matters,

the new york times knows. and the language is using on gaza is a story onto itself. plus believers in kenya, led to their graves by a tele banjo. where, where the regular, the, and it's been a week now since more than $300.00 iranian missiles and drones were launched israel's way. but despite the initial alarm, the rush to the bomb shelters, the doomsday scenarios, and all the regional war fits failed to materialize. instead, israel conducted a limited counter attack on friday, on military targets in is for hon, which was similar to a runs strategic approach. the vast majority of those are ronnie and projectiles were shot down by israel or its allies. the damage was minimal, 0 is ready, fatalities, and outcome. the military experts concluded was by design. israel's response also

have more to do with spectacle than substance because the nothing yahoo government had the optics to consider don't act and risk losing face or retaliate when it's primary back or the us had called for a strength at least publicly. whatever happens next ron's attack and the way it has been characterized in the western media may have gone or is real, some more support abroad. which could prove crucial in this battle of perceptions as is where the forces continue to slaughter. palestinians involved the any kind of a battle between iran and as well as not only a battle between 2 armed militaries or 2 sets of government officials issuing competing or conflicting statements. it's also a bottle of nerves, the bottle for information superiority for international support and sympathy.

when our news feeds on that night with the images of military fireworks in the skies over, there was reason to fear the worst. depending on who was in farm the story. ron's airborne i saw was either a reckless act of aggression that risk triggering wider war firing a 100 a sand ballistic. nissan is a dangerous escalation for a deliberate act of restraint. it only might have to know that it proved to be a highly performative exercise onto the wrong spot that resulted in no, is rarely fatalities had more to do with messages than anything else and have to leave warmongers disappointed. when do you want in perspective, it was a chance to put on a spectacle to really get the headlines and show that they engaging unprecedented

direct action i guess as well. but it was mainly a message because we didn't have the mass casualty on israel's park. it was an opportunity to put out the message that he was able to defend itself. 99 percent of missiles were shot down. so from both sides they could claim victory. not only they, ronnie and strike was well telegraphed in advance. it was clearly coordinated in a fashion that israel and its allies could defend effectively. so the point was not destruction. the point was a political message that they ron ends were sending to try to re establish defendants against israel. israel's response to a ron's attack took 6 days to get to was limit, largely symbolic targeting and air base near is not the city itself, nor the nuclear plants nearby that failed to satisfy is really hard. lines like security minister gets them are vanity who flight i would call that link while the as rios cheerleaders, like the british prime minister,

offered their approval. and we have condemned your wrongs reckless and dangerous biologists. missiles against is front on saturday and is wrong. so it'd be, has the right to self defense, which was consistent with what had come out of the white house and many western governments in the aftermath of a ron's initial attack. and that the, as long that grew up public was the address. so let's be straight. given the scale of this attack, ron's intent was clearly to cause significant destruction and casualties. v us called the ron's actions unprecedented. even though they had been preceded by israel's bombing of an iranian consumer building in the syrian capital, damascus on april. first, the killed to iranian generals, among others, it was a position the u. k. also to that, when challenged proved to be a hard sell what, what britain to the hostile nation slot, one of our comes to us we would take,

we would take the very strong action under, on woodside, that that's all that as well. even those well aware iran has influence beyond its borders and uses it's embassies and consulates. as cover when arming is regional allies have said this really strikes in damascus was dangerously provoked. here i must be very, very critically about this, right. it was one of those adventures that these are, these kill me things only because it is possible. there was hardly a debate about the consequences of the prize about the day after. i mean, it explains it. we say damaging the military capability of a rod officer by law whole i'm us, i'm not going to bother him. but holding mccomb to hardy over that even though i think that's what should always input on. what is this rubbish? by the end of the day,

it's about showing cool. these really much are these really james bone. the parents will never be achieved through us as a nation's into a capabilities are not damaged by those assistant nation. so we are left only with the need to show to ron is often portrayed in western media as a malign actor. there is a very rarely a recognition that, like most other states, iran has legitimate security concerns and a times has responded with restraint. over the past few months, israel had killed multiple senior iranian ministry officials in syria. israel has conducted corporate operations against iranian nuclear facilities against iran in infrastructure, kills iranian sciences, iranian commanders on iranian soil. so this is not a one sided fights, and you rarely see the western media trying to striking balance and distribution or

allocating a blame for the current situation. so what was really behind the ron's theatricals, but ultimately the limiting factor the ronnie and military could have launched the more of its drones and miss files through one of its proxies such as has vala in 11 . all right, next door to is instead did not only send almost all of them from iran, get broadcast that some of those launch can be, is released and they're american and british allies, 3 hours to prepare for them and ultimately take most of the missiles to them but the lights in that and yahoo government, in israel, the leaders of the islamic republic had been playing to a domestic audience. the drones and missiles, most of which the iranians knew would never land were the vehicles for the iran at the moment is in a quite fragile state. internally, there has been for the last 2 or 3 years, quite a lot of protest against the,

towards hiring and actions of the same as the regime. and iran is very aware of the ways in which it's getting a broiled, and then other war would actually in danger it's on stability. so there is a very major calculation about its own, a former abilities in the ways in which iran has responded. there are 2 narratives that going on a new one, right? the one is that this was a historic strike. and parts of the on human population appeared receptive to, particularly in the aftermath of the serial bombing. at the same time, most view, all new ones are not in favor of war. their focus is on their daily lives. the economic conditions. and there's been a renewed crack down on the islamic, had scar from you on the mandatory nature of it. and that's because very much undermine any funding around the flag effect from a new conflict with his or 3 days after ron launched. it's plus the attack on the history of this story of performative warfare and shadow diplomacy descended into

the absurd when reports surfaced that the us had contacted the as long as the republican, asking it to allow israel to conduct a symbolic count, to return to quote, unquote save face. 72 hours later, israel kit the base near discipline. israel's interceptors protected years, part of secret is a lot of exciting. equally absurd was this youtube i posted online by the net from yahoo government trumpeting the intersection of a ron's missiles and declaring that israel, which has spent 6 months old with reading gossip and its muslim population to active, to protect some of these loans, fully assigns it's a so where they can, i mean, really, prof, i got that can go as far as it wishes, but is rather not to take the holy places and they run the business target. they

holy place. this is what it is violating severely for decades. the freedom of full force cheap, the most of them's mainly palestinians to get there when it's the, the time it's by the. busy may take a one, a little sympathy backs to is notorious in, you know, so much but so easily. the problem is that these are what he's going to lose, or the same perceived is ready to be a goal for, for an estate k, as it seems now, as it eventually did. 6 days later, of greater value to is revolving any sympathy or runs attacks may have produced is the distraction. it creates away from the her risk stories and still coming out of cost of so many more palestinians are getting on or including from the hospital. now shift corpses found with high b, 2 still attached images of 7 school children slaughtered on

a playground. we'll cross that would have got far more coverage than they did. if news outlets were not trans fixed by this new or on it. but telegenic story, the for all of the fireworks, is not what it appeared to be. for the past 6 months, the new york times as coverage of israel's post october 7th, the salt on garza has taken a pummeling from critics both inside and outside the paper. mean actually, robbie is here with the latest example of to report this past week by the investigative new side, the intercept within the memo that editors at the times sent the stuff back in november and which has been regularly updated since the memo is effectively a study guide for the coverage of israel's post. october 7th, the sort on gaza. there's nothing unusual about such style guides. it's standard practice across news organizations. what makes this memo controversial is some of

the terminology. it was the papers journalist against using sensitive photos should the guidance says avoid using the phrase occupied tennessee when describing palestinian land, which israel's ministry is according to international law, occupying as one time source interviewed by the intercept booted. that amounts to quote, taking the occupation out of the coverage when it is in fact the actually quote of the conflict. the memo also instruct stuff to steal kid of the to them. but if she comes for pots of gaza that a home to palestinians displaced during previous wars, these are people who are refugees. these terms occupied territories and rescue jacobs artificial language used by the united nations and international and deals. it's unusually for news organizations to restrict and use of this terminology in this response to the intercepts report, a times books, but some said that issue and guidance like this is to ensure accuracy consistency. a nuance in how we call the news back in february,

another intercept investigation into a widely discredited time support about the quote webinar ization of leap by him us on october 7th. if you consider me to send in the times as newsroom over, the papers guys have coverage. clearly that discontent is stay brewing and still leaking out to be upset. thanks man. last year we aired a disturbing story out of 10 year about the dangers of religious broadcasting tele vangelis. and how difficult that content can be to regulate. we are re broadcasting it now because the tele vangelis at the heart of the story. busy mackenzie has been formally charged with the murder of $191.00 people, mackenzie allegedly led those victims his followers to their dest. by telling them the world was coming to an end. among the questions being asked in the aftermath, should the authorities can use media, regulators have done more to stop mackenzie's doomsday preachings from being

broadcast. and if so, how would that square with the right constitutionally protected in, can you do freedom of speech and religion? those are questions that require urgent answers because tell evangelism is on the rise in kenya, where 85 percent of the population is christian. but let's me post nick me. we're head now from the canyon post on the tragedy that has come to be known as the shack, a hold of a mass of with just less mill. indeed, a coastal town in eastern kenya. and are heading inland to the shuck, ahold of 1st. in much news broke that a woman had killed had children here in order to please god when the story book joseph jerry was one of the 1st journalists of c. we will 1st quote here by the police were informed that no 2 bodies, 2 bodies of children about it and decided to instead to the phone bodies all over

musk lives over today to more than 350 bodies and counting have been exempt. their will or lead to the 1st by 10 evangelists name pul, mackenzie, useful to have told them that the bill was in and that in order to reach scott, they would have to starve themselves to death. fish, children, then women, the men, mackenzie said he would follow it, but he never did. so tell me about for mackenzie, what do we know about it initially? was the taxi dividing money, andy? and did he from these own minister? no, called good news, international ministries. the judge, according to the advisor who 1st went in, was just a good charged middle course happened until 2015 the now when it became attentive funding is to have a pass, the message started changing. he started introducing they showed

a new with the prophecies, and all these prophecies was tested live on television. now not that one level full on my day. me. tell me about mackenzie's follows those that followed them into this 1st. they came from fun. why is because again, they had to follow as oliver. so presumably many of those people would never have heard of poor mackenzie written up for his tv channel. correct? based on an estimated $600.00 of poor mackenzie's for those who are still missing and check on the 1st one of them is a woman named pamela nicholas. single. she's from been going back. it's accounts in northwest. can you the opposite end of the country in india? 1000 kilometers from ya. we've managed to find his son. he's living and not robi, so i'm off to the capital to meet him. to evangelism is the use of media to communicate christianity. the 10 evangelists in kenya often claimed that they can perform miracles by was deliver

spiritual, communing and guarantee prosperity. mass typically in exchange for donations which had made some till event to a very welcome and influential for some viewers of some of the most valuable as the plumber stream, directly into their homes of divine intervention. 5 is cost is crude, 0, resistible, for we can see is what we would refer to as a carrier, is mastic society to the no, no, no problem as we get problem when i, pennsylvania, he because in order to be a tv event, this order to hold the attention of a audience no matter how big or small you have to have a particular kind of christmas comparing to a free can tell evangelist. you can tell that the rest of the frequently bundle is tend to go with the prosperity way and pull them. mckenzie goes the mystical way.

why not sequoia now with mystery kicks in, then you know somebody is believed to have information or news or power that other people don't have. and so that's the whole county of mystical element is what really endeared him to a lot of people coming in to kind of sing his son lodges. she boucher says that she would spend her days watching mackenzie's times t v channel and was captivated by his simmons. that promised spiritual feeling. she thought he could help her daughter who was suffering from mental health issues. this time last year. she bruce is mother his sister and her 3 year old daughter left time to join the attend evangelist. ok mostly to find out my the, the main reason my mother followed mackenzie's preaching was my older sisters illness. and during his tv sermons, mackenzie would often use the bible and

a specific oil to heal people. so my mother thought he might be able to help my sister. so that was her main motivation. if it wasn't for his tv station, my mother never would have heard of someone like mckenzie, by the sentimental language done a mckenzie. when religion comes under the agency of media, then media transforms, that's religions. and so perhaps for people like pull mckenzie media tended to give them some kind of reputation and could create the ability to for like, causing the tongue who didn't know what to pull mccain's these message would have 1st started out as what we would consider an instance of really just diversity, right? because it doesn't just start off as an end of time. we then see it moving into a space of tv. is it? do, kitchen is evil. and then later on we see it moving into a space of danger. but give me shit on me. i'm at. oh yeah.

ok. as the site the hollinger. yeah. now it's difficult to predict what the progression will be because not all diverse innovations of mainstream religion will become div yet. and the old deviant innovations of a mainstream agent will become down to this. but sometimes they do. the question now is at what point should the canyon authorities have intervene? and could they have done so well upholding mackenzie's constitutional right to freedom of thought and religion. the communications authority is the party responsible for regulate control costs media in the country. this past april, it's suspended mackenzie's tv channel, but only off to the check. a whole story head broke. and even then, it was mostly for administrative noncompliance. little of the content it with you broke the rules. i asked the director general how his organization monitors this

kind of content. we use a system that loads the information. but when you have 322 visitations for you to make sense of that content that have knowledge, we have, we, the somebody has to sit down and listen to or watch to be able to conclude the natural that particular content. that's why the complain, mechanism is much better if somebody sees something unbecoming, then they able to report. then we can now go specifically to track down that specific uh, book custom problem. i see with that mechanism is that you are relying on view of feedback, but often the view as of these channels are the people that are being radicalized and you not see that as an issue in the system. it's really a problem, but then our responsibility is not to regulate the content of what you're lucky to logical next year. unless the sort focus on the face of it content that we looked at, we did not see a direct link with a mess. okay. do you not think that yes,

they may not be a direct link to check a hold up, but that that problem method content is in there it goes into prosperity preaching . yeah, the nothing that needs to be regulated, you know, the trouble with the issues of religion and faith is exactly that faith. and that's why when you allow freedom of religion is to just allow people to make sense of life the way they see best. so the risk of going that's for to the, to end up being a policeman at the people's punches. but that balance has to be struck. wasn't really big southern for us. mackenzie is now in jail and faces multiple charges. but the media environment in which he strides, and the constitutional rights that protected him remains the same. kenya is 85 percent christian, and 10 evangelists wheeled enormous influence to politicians, wanting to stay in power. unlikely to challenge the hedge. many of these to the past is and they always a faithful followers,

even if that leaves an untold number of valuable people at risk. so i'm was, i talked to nick, i took up a little bit to get them a lead. i left nairobi from a wendy to search for my mother. when i got there, i found one of mackenzie's followers who had been rescued. they told me they had seen my mother and my sister. my sister and a child had been tied up until they died and were buried. having seen all this, my mother ran deep into the forest. i've been trying to find her ever since, but to this day, nothing the and finally of this past week, the world's most elaborate election process got underway. indians and there are

more than 950000000 eligible voters with the casting ballots over the next 6 weeks . prime minister, no rend remote, he and his party, the b j. p are considered a lock to win and historic 3rd term. t opposition. leaders are in jail, many others have been forced into the b, j, p by threats of legal cases or lowered and by the prospect of getting senior positions in the party. and that there is the undeniable domination of the indian media space by moti. from anchors on mainstream news channels to influencers on social media, even the bollywood elite, the b j. p is either convinced or coerced people into echoing the message that there is no alternative to moti even worth debating. let alone voting for will be keeping our eyes on this story and the central role that the indian media are playing in it. and we'll see you next time. here at the listening post.

in the vietnam war, the us army use the highly toxic herbicides with catastrophic consequences. agent orange was the most destructive instance of chemical warfare a decade later, the same happened in the us state of oregon. these helicopters flying over the ridge spring something and they didn't even see the case for 2 women fought for just to get some of the most powerful forces in the world. the people versus agents orange knowledge is 0. the killing of al, just return it is shooting of a hawk. that was not an isolated event. it highlighted the whole question of press freedom of turn in the skilled ones doing their job. they were certainly aiming in the direction of the terms of the 0 world looks at the number of journalist skills into occupied palestinian territories, which has increased dramatically during the war on god and at the problems of

holding anyone accountable for 3rd task. shooting the messenger $10.00 to 0. the israel targets refugee comes in the gaza strip. at least 7 palestinians have been killed the to kill him. so rahman you want to go just every line headquarters here in the also coming up. these really intelligence chief resigns taking responsibility to failing to prevent the october 7th attacks rescue is in southern china. a rush to save lives direct.
