is largest ultimate because under the agreement most would sell the self driving software used in tests the cause to is new partners. katrina, you reports from badging in china is basically competitive electric vehicles in the industry. steam ahead of rivals is increasingly difficult. but that's exactly what tesla c o e loan mosque is trying to do as good the electric vehicles making progress and most of the get his supplies visit to china on sunday. we think premier lead chung and they changed. one of the worlds of riches then was reportedly here to discuss the role that us has as full self driving software and of physicians and transferred chinese data to the us. tesla has sold more than 1700000, cause in china. it since entering the market a decade ago, of the plant in shanghai is its most productive and was the 1st open outside the us in 2019 chinese officials say the ocean make a is a successful example of sign or us trade corporation. this is
6:31 am
a typical intersection in beijing full of so i could list cruises, pedestrians, and cos industry analysts say these complicated project conditions provide mold scenarios for training or funding. this is driving programs out of foster pace compared to other locations. cars. one has agreed to deal with chinese companies, find it to access it's mapping license on domestic roads that remains bad for military and some government compounds due to security concerns. the company has also been losing chinese market share. many chinese e v manufacturers or up ending the traditional trade off between cost and luxury. so they're offering luxury features but also something that young trainees called heck luxury marks visits coincides with the badging, auto sure, which has lot is not participate. chinese brands offer more affordable electric models, and the u. s. based company has had to slash prices to compete. i just want is also
6:32 am
facing pressure back into us where regulations are investigating the safety of it's also a pilot feature. author aid was allegedly involved in multiple fatal crashes, folding sales or forcing management to cut $0.10 of its global workforce. it's or security approvals from the aging. well profile tells us performance and give the joint a much needed recommended. first, katrina, you all to 0? well that's a, it's amazed time is a that and then for the show you can get much more and all the stories is instead of out to 0 dot com. so this thing cost the call, choose solutions that gives us no hope for future that we have to find creative solutions, not just turn our backs. i don't think that has a number. think about it as a person and yourself and that person's shoes. so as you can see for this
6:33 am
is my us, my life, or at least in my life, those stages we want. we want the education reward because the women and my country deadlocks, we we are not denies ology. we are human beings, and this has to be treated equally. we are working in their footsteps, our ancestors, whatever has been done before, can be done. as long as the human being is doing it, you just have to keep pushing because no one else can see. the vision is key one year into the civil war institute on what is it about this story? this humanitarian costs have been staggering. but the news coverage has been minimal silencing the voices of dissent after us universities over israel and the
6:34 am
gods. and what that says about freedom of speech in america plus restoring the independence of state owned new. so black skin, poland has not gone according to plan. the last week marked the 1st anniversary of the war ensued on the death toll of areas in the 10s of thousands. but it is in the number of people displaced nearly 9000000 and in need of humanitarian aid, around 25000000. that this story really stands out, a conflict on this scale should top the news agenda, but it has been relegated to the back pages in part because of what is happening in gaza and ukraine. and it is increasingly difficult to deny that the lack of media interest in this war comes down to where it is being fought and how it is understood. then there's the framing that this is a war between 2 generals,
6:35 am
man and uniform, which office gates the role of global players in the fighting, and creates the perception that there are only 2 choices available. it is a binary that implicitly excludes a 3rd option, one that civil society in. so don has been fighting for, for decades. democracy we are really looking at human suffering on a scale that we can't really quantify. it is the west and monitoring crisis. the number of people displaced, the number of people hungry. we're essentially looking at the costs of a society, an entire state in front of our eyes. there's also the sense that this 4 is not going to end of all that was once talented to only take a few weeks. now. looks like this will go on for the long term. how is it the one year induced to don's civil war? the world's greatest humanitarian crisis, attracts so little news coverage and the suffering in gaza has been horrendous.
6:36 am
ukraine is an ongoing tragedy, but neither of those conflicts are on the scale of what has on folded ensued. on the number of people the front and the at the story goes largely on told on global news of france. the lack of covers everything. and so don is tied to much larger questions of how africa is represented. and so many of these conflicts are seen in such simplistic and actually deeply harmful ways that are tied to quote unquote, primordial grievances and are somehow just localized and detached from the rest. the world is that these 2 generals and they are less for power of taking the country hostage that is patently untrue. unfortunately, we see a conflict ermina that has taken shape with a gulf countries, namely the u. e and saudi with even wagner mercenaries on the ground from russia. and so what we really see is a deeply internationalized conflict that this time, what race this media narrative really doesn't capture. people use golf as an excuse goes, what happened 6 months into the conflict. people use ukraine as an excuse,
6:37 am
that's a completely different setup. so the typical excuses i don't think cold water. i think there's a sense of, let's just leave them to it. there's also a sense in the united states that one of the key allies in the region, the u, a. e might be doing things, it would feed this war and they don't want to put too much pressure on the u a because well, they don't wanna lose that very key allies. case has been 5 years to the months since the sleeping these people were given cause for help with the downfall of the different tater omar our but she ruled over them. for 30 years. the civilians who rose up against our sheer, then saw their dream of a democracy dashed by a military coup which morphed into a civil war last year. when an insurgent army from western c dot r s. s. tried to take power from the generals in car to the suit and these armed forces for nessa. this power struggle is being fueled by players on the outside backing, the se,
6:38 am
f is egypt, and more recently in wrong. in the recess corner is rushed through its mercenary force wagner and the united arab emirates. although b m a rockies have tried to obscure their own agenda. last year, m a ra. he's state media claimed that this was humanitarian a, destined for the student, these people. but according to investigations by the new york times and the wall street journal, it was all a guys to smuggle in arms to the r s. s. accusations that the u. a. e has repeatedly denied. of course, some of what has gone to certain types it on has been here monitoring assistance, but as a is also well known that there are lots of other things such as armored cars, laser guided missiles and drones, which i've also been going to the region. so this idea that they're purely true monetary and while sending literal weapons, it's clearly not exactly. it's such a neat and tidy story, and i don't think they're full in too many people. least of all student needs on
6:39 am
the ground in terms of what the weight is after incident and the goal trade, which is incredibly important for various reasons. one of them is section evasion, the united air of emma risk corporate swift, b africa quotes for many barksdale, which has direct projection of rushes interest. and for russia, gold is incredibly important to finance the one ukraine and to make its own economy less dependent on the dollar. so it means resources that are more resistant towards the sections and that's what gold comes in. what do you, what has become, of a sudden, in the past decade, is the banking hub of the region. countries that have either dest particle, autocratic entities will invariably do some business in the united of, i'm as particularly in the goals, etc. and it just so happens that the, the r as f is one of the biggest clients of, of the u e, which of course, has one of the world's biggest go of markets. kenzie early stages of the
6:40 am
information war, the rest of the capture, the national state. broad tv channel, near car to last month. the so you took it back, but when they r s. f was in control, it didn't really do much with the child. partly because even in a country dealing with large scale internet blackouts were just 30 percent of the population consistently get online. social media is still where it's at the u a. e is also involved. in fact, side effects. some of the companies behind pro our social media channels like g s k are based in the efforts they portray the militia groups leader, general mohamed, how i'm done, dr. low. notice have mfc as a legitimate president in weight. they have their work cut in 2014, connect these forces fighting in the war in dar for committed mass murders and rapes of civilian atrocities. they are continuing to carry out sometimes posting
6:41 am
the evidence on line other insiders trying to rehabilitate from that these image and metal with the news narrative can see don range from operatives working out of russia in the east canada in the west. but we have now on the information space is i guess the combination of use of investments by the right stuff in different p office across the world. not just in the united app. i mean it's, but also famously the canadian is really from run it by the former is really uh, intelligence agent already been manase, which had been providing the all help to the r as f for several years before the war. external, the idea is to sort of war and clean the reputation of the hours have to position commitment as somebody who can be taken seriously as the head of state. because ultimately the prize here is the nation of so that and so that's what hope again
6:42 am
has been about internally, it's about trying to so division it's about trying to get more support for the rapid support forces of the cities on forces. whenever there was an abstract 5, you sit down on forces that had civilian casualties. you would have someone from the, our south filming it into crime denouncing the. so dawn on, forces the out. the what we've also been seeing lately is defections, lynch defections from the sit down on forces on local men to show that have joined them. still. yeah, but then maybe that by the way of water damage that it would come down. they're gonna, we can of course say, and how far they have staged, whether or not these have been taken on the dress, one of the 2 off and the coverage. this war does get falls into the final retreat. which makes it easier for the international community to just look away that this
6:43 am
is essentially a war between 2 generals, between a matter of the right versus the cs of those. but the output, hon redemptive characterization of what is happening. the following thing is taking place between all the units, loyal to the 2 generals, you can see but so don's store is far bigger than the student is resistance given grass roots, neighborhood networks of ordinary citizens who coordinated on lines were crucial. and bringing about the downfall of omar alba share in 2019 and have been working to save civilian lives. since the worst. again, they have every right to demand a democratic se, in what comes next to the force of dog. more than these cameras should be pointed fairway funding the story around these 2 generals who are fighting falls into a number of traps and tropes about the region. firstly, this idea that these african countries are somehow recklessly ruled and all about
6:44 am
these warlords goes into this narrative, which i really problematic and really short sighted because they failed to really think about the international as dimensions that are related to all of this. and more than anything they take away the agency of those who've been on the ground, the civic activists who led this revolution and overthrown the amount of this year . this is deeply accept her credit resume. this thing that keeps me is that the very people, the full. so the revolution have the same people on the ground will living the very that they for the emergency response rooms, the resistance committees, infrastructure that they are building complaint, the very democracy that they're talking about is happening right now. in the most intense physical condition. they are making it happen is the real story in the united states nationwide student protests against israel's genocidal assault on garza, i have set off police violence and
6:45 am
a toxic media debate. product an offer is here with me for weeks now. students have been staging citizens across the us campuses, universities like columbia brown and mit on this spreading. however, if you've been watching the extensive news coverage, all those demonstrations, you could be forgiven for not knowing what the students are actually the month. that the universities divest all 7 legs, the companies and academic institutions that practice for me throughout occupation and the pos side college campuses in several parts of the country are struggling tonight with just where to draw the line between the allowing pro tests and free speech. and preventing anti semitism and intimidation, the focus of the coverage has been on the alleged anti semitism on the safety of your students. we've also seen politicians in the media demonizing protest as with baseless claims like this one. some of these students apparently are unaware of the
6:46 am
atrocities of october 7th. they denied that women and children were brutally raped and murdered the incense were placed in the ovens and cooked a live. there were a narrative that has even been debunked by his writing, move out that one of the honor and even play when examining the coverage. columbia university which is spearheaded, this movement has one of the world oldest jonathan schools. it's administered the public surprise for excellence in the field faculty that staged a woke out of the university's heavy handed security response. $54.00 law professor had sent a letter to columbia of leadership, judging it to respect the rule of law of values that were in charge and added the extraordinary involvement of the police threatens the university's legitimacy within its own community. beyond escape the videos as on account of peaceful settings being met with police, 5 of students being arrested off the university lead of cool security forces in to
6:47 am
deal with the have exposed power. plus, if the debate of gov has become in the us and it's about freedom of speech and where the us academic institutions will stand up for the value they teach, which american politicians preach. thanks to our for more than 4 months now, poland is new. government led by prime minister donald to ask, has been out to reverse the wholesale changes made to the country's media by the previous government, which had held power for 8 years. during that time, when the law injustice party wasn't office media legislation was passed, the dramatically altered the journalistic landscape and enhanced the ruling party is control over publicly owned news outlets, most notably at the state on television network cvp. but the 2 governments goal to sterilize public broadcasting of partisan politics has not been fully embraced by polish society tv p's. ratings are down and it has lost viewers to
6:48 am
a relatively new right wing channel tv republic. the listening post, ron cole is now on donald to 6 media overall and how, what's on folding components. it was december 2023, just one week since the government power enforced. and then the state broadcast or t p was signed in and taken off from there. yes, of course casey story had been a while as a follow up, a personal come up saying that both skit menu, the just what happened that night. it depends on who's narrating. the tale, and which side of poland political reality there on delivery. zip o scott cvp was on know for the shut down in an instant to dozens, even hundreds of employee passes stopped working in the office of one of the tours
6:49 am
decided that the present or should inform the viewers that the cvt is being low for the taking over at the moment, he only minutes to send a few sentences off before the cigna was cut off for the assessing. those are so just thought it was a be crazy for many people in poland because probably can meet the needs to be in partial and for 8 years probably need out was everything bots impartial, the populist party lower than just as was slicing democracy, kept by kat tools decided to stop it immediately. so obviously for anybody it tastes like got shot. tyra, new prime minister donald to see was the man administering this shock therapy to the state media is i don't even think i should put the latest things on. it was a little more low she, i just,
6:50 am
i can't limit the body which is like the new government came into power december last year and reforming the media was at the top of its agend. the coalition in the center left and pro you replacing the right wing government headed by the law and justice party, known in poland by his acronym piece. for 8 years from 2015 until 2023 places in power. and in that time and had a transformative effect on the country's media, it politicized colin's media regulators turn the national broadcast or into what the council of europe called a propaganda channel for the ruling party. private media outlets rather bought out by local governments for state corporations, or private conglomerates allied to peace. regulations and laws came into effect that made the survival of critical media outlets incredibly challenging. so when the full man government, the lower injustice government,
6:51 am
left office and public media in particular had been completely corrupted. the main public tv channels was used to promote the government's agenda attacked their opponents, the main, able to use every day with generally involved promotion. the government's narrative shows up some money and they are the key to load your gear, but the dentist would have called you to scroll forward. you don't have to call you for juvenile show me the way i'm going to use a credit check issue. and the cut color of the kinetic piece of the physical evidence of defense over the bottom of the china was attacking the position. and usually in a very unsuccessful way, don't know, it's still still substantial. works instruct for the skate, cuz there's also something you might also get a supplemental democrat. this thing is that with our me, little home, you know, the from, to put it. there's a boy in the foster isn't going though to have what happens to cvp sounds like a story from some strange place that knows no democracy near this way of 6 stomachs
6:52 am
. however, the laws regarding how management teams are chosen for public tv had been changed by peace back in 2015 when they came to power. and those are the laws to made use of the for the changes there was regulation to ensure the selection of management personnel wasn't purely political. it was all done according to the standard when piece change, the law enabled politicians to directly appoint and dismiss the managers of public media outlets. look to them. so should they asked if he pointed to us could come to power promising to de politicize public media. but many argue he's really just re politicized that tv. for example, under the new administration receive criticism of the months ago when it published, and advocates in celebrating it freedoms under the new management issue. lot of the firm just sort of products for each,
6:53 am
but every single politician that we're showing in the ads that speaking on the china was from the new building competition. so there were no opposition. voices on that. my old book is about shipping them about yeah, they want to have a single narratives. nowadays, the immigration crisis, these rarely spoken about no one wants to discuss the risks of moving the currency from disloyalty to the euro, or issues like rising energy. conversely, to attend you up to the destruction of tvs. the people are not being informed. there was an issue about gonna let me draw your attention to tv, peace, blue or sheet, which is collapsing dramatically. let you not, width nothing. that is not an exaggeration. according to a survey conducted by the media analytics firm, nielsen tv piece viewership in february 2024 had dropped by 72 percent compared with the audience numbers. in february 2023, one of the biggest media beneficiaries of td piece knows diving numbers is
6:54 am
a right wing populace channel tv recruitment aligned with emulates the style of fox news in the u. s. or c. news print out the 6 to process. now. tell us goodness of these kinds of the best thoughts, and i have what's on the inventory sheet just by doing the several parties, the company that single so many piece of pointed employees who are different state media upon to survival, migrated to tv republicans. and according to the nielsen's survey, the numbers of viewers in february this year was 30 times the audience just one year ago. also in february, the channels advertising revenue quadruple. we contacted to have your approval to speak with them about the streak of success there and join. they didn't respond. when we asked the current director of tv demand appointed by twos, government get a very specific perspective on the following numbers of his network and the jump tv
6:55 am
recruitment guy seats, the viewer of public media for 8 years, which was a very specific viewer. and to the people that were victims of population. so that was obvious that they will move to, to tv republica, which is private property, the state for some people, probably current public television is small, boring because that i know made up sensational things that there was no language or hatred. basically, it became more flocked. so obviously i can understand that for some people is less excite spent, but we, i'm not here to excite people. we are here to the, to deliver the news. the facts still be able to consider about the new modem which for, for 10 years. but if yours should not be abandoned, after all,
6:56 am
the idea of public media is to represent all voices in society. of course, those who enjoy the emotions and aggression to each should feel a band of since that language and tone has no place here. however, if t v p ignores conservative, it doesn't mean that those people will just disappear and we can manage just liberal media. this is really the challenge for the new government to allow public media to be professional and independent sellers and not simply using as a mouthpiece for anybody but on the go chicago. and that is the challenge for donald to see. but the strip certificates of, of the name of the promise, colin's new government made was to quote, restore access to reliable information on public media. but it's really liable ends up meaning everything that's pro government. then the oppertunity to restore
6:57 am
balance and credibility to degrade and media landscape will be squandered. and the deep polarization colon will remain. and finally, for more than 6 months now, we have reported on the countless crimes being committed by his ready forces in gosh, this past week, more horror stories emerged, the discovery of new mass graves at least 392 bodies on earth next to nicer hospital in hong eunice, some were found stripped naked, their hands tied. others showed signs of having been buried alive. the execution of civilians is a war crime for which these randy military denies responsibility. and it's not as though the un human rights, so office or the european union, both of which have called for independent investigations, are going to get one any time soon. because israel continues to deny the u. n. n. human rights organizations access to gaza,
6:58 am
locking them out along with scores of journalists, the palestinian reporters and 1st responders inside the world zone, continue to do their work despite being targeted. and it is worth remembering that they have been the ones who have brought these stories of mass graves to light. we'll see you next time here at the listening post. the latest news as a boeing a military response for situation we mean kind of nationwide with detailed coverage . it's only taking a few hours to turn the city streets into canals, rooms and isolated from around the world, showing by russian policies of levi and, and the surrounding countryside, causing fires like this in the forests virtually every day in the
