Hey there I Spy listeners. Here at Foreign Policy, we're about to release season 2 of our podcast, The Negotiators. On each episode, one former diplomat or troubleshooter tells the story of one dramatic negotiation. If the tagline sounds familiar, that's by design.

Vladimir Putin's propaganda machine is in high gear. The Kremlin is pumping out propaganda that no civilians are being hurt and the war is going according to plan, despite thousands of Russian casualties. And everyday Russians aren't seeing many of the atrocities being committed in their name. Twisting narratives and silencing independent journalists is an age-old ploy, and tonight Christiane speaks to those on the information frontlines. Tikhon Dzyadko recently had to flee the country after his independent TV channel was banned, while US journalist Danny Fenster was imprisoned for 176 days by Myanmar's military junta after their coup last year.

EU agrees to step up sanctions on Belarus The European Union agreed Nov. 15 to step up sanctions against Belarus, which denounced as “absurd” Western accusations that it was driving a migrant crisis that has left thousands of people stranded in freezing forests on its borders with the EU. The Western bloc is seeking to stop what it says is a policy by Belarus to push migrants toward the borders in revenge for earlier sanctions over a crackdown on protests last year against veteran leader Alexander Lukashenko's contested reelection.

The military junta in Myanmar seized power from the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi in February 2021. Since then, military authorities have cracked down on protests and dissent, killing some 1,269 people and arresting more than 10,000, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners, an advocacy group monitoring the situation. Rights of citizens were suddenly suspended and free speech became a dangerous road to tread upon. The numbers of journalists arrested vary, going from at least forty seven and into potential hundreds. The American journalist Danny Fenster, who recently made it back home from behind Burmese bars was one of the lucky few who have been able to escape the tyranny that Myanmar finds itself in.

Live—from the campus of Hillsdale College in beautiful Hillsdale Michigan— this is Scot Bertram in for Steve on the Steve Gruber Show for –Monday November 15th 2021—   —Here are 3 big things you need to know—   Three— Wisconsin is bracing for the verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial as deliberations could start today.  The 18-year-old is charged with killing two men and wounding a third last year during protests.  The governor has 500 National Guard troops on standby in case of unrest.     Two— There's a major development in the case of an American journalist sentenced to eleven years in prison in Myanmar.  Danny Fenster has been released from custody just days after learning his sentence for incitement and breaches of immigration and terrorism laws.   The 37-year-old Michigan native is the managing editor of the online news magazine Frontier Myanmar.      And number one—It looks like more voters aren't happy with the job President Biden is doing.  Another new poll shows his approval rating has dropped to 41-percent.  It comes from the Washington Post and ABC News.  About 70-percent blame his handling of the economy amid record high inflation.  

On Friday, we considered the possible need for new tactics for the U.S. to secure the release of Michigan-born journalist Danny Fenster from his imprisonment in Myanmar since May. He had just been sentenced to 11 years of hard labor on alleged charges that included violating immigration law and encouraging dissent against the military. He also faced newly raised charges of sedition and terrorism, which can carry life sentences in Myanmar under its current military regime. Just three days later, seemingly suddenly, Fenster was finally freed today. “There started to be some rumors circulating a couple of hours before he was actually released,” said Andrew Nachemson, a friend and colleague of Fenster's at Frontier Myanmar who is currently based in Thailand. Former diplomat and past governor of New Mexico Bill Richardson was in Myanmar last week for face-to-face meetings with the regime's Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, on a mission to talk about COVID. He negotiated Fenster's release. It was the last step in a monthslong process. “The suddenness of the release shouldn't fool people,” said U.S. Representative Andy Levin (MI-09). “It was the result of steady patient work by career diplomats and folks in the intelligence and diplomatic community around the world.” On today's Stateside podcast episode, April Baer talks with both Nachemson and Levin about Fenster's release, and where this saga leaves journalists still in the region as well as U.S. relations with the regime. GUESTS: Congressman Andy Levin is a Democrat representing Michigan's 9th congressional district. Andrew Nachmenson is a journalist covering politics and human rights in southeast Asia. -- Looking for more conversations from Stateside? Right this way.

Veteran US diplomat and hostage negotiator Bill Richardson traveled to Myanmar this week, raising hopes for the release of American journalist Danny Fenster, who's been detained by the military junta for five months. And thousands of Afghans are still trying to flee Afghanistan or are somewhere en route to a new home. The US and Canada have historically been the world's two leading countries for refugee resettlement, but they've struggled to meet the needs of this group. Also, in Russia, the number of daily COVID-19 cases and deaths have increased across the country, with new record highs in both categories.

CNN "Reliable Sources" Interview with Rose and Bud Fenster They Call It ‘Insane': Where Myanmar Sends Political Prisoners ‘The darkest days are coming': Myanmar's journalists suffer at hands of junta TRANSCRIPT: ZAK: 36 days ago, Danny Fenster was detained and thrown in jail in Myanmar without a charge, without access to lawyer and without a phone call to his family. He has subsequently been charged under penal code 505 a which essentially makes it a crime to practice independent journalism. Danny's family still have not been able to talk to him. It was just last week that he was finally granted a phone call to the American embassy in Yangon. Danny has a hearing this Thursday where he faces as much as three years in prison. Again, the crime being practicing independent journalism. Danny is a friend of mine. I've known him and his family for nearly all my life. But even if you don't know Danny. You should care about this story. I've put a bunch of links to learn more in the show notes. I hope you'll take a few minutes to learn more and then tell your friends and family. For now, though, I'm honored to get some advice from The Fensters. Danny's mom Rose. His dad, buddy and his brother Bryan. ZAK: You three are going through a living nightmare. Have you noticed something that people say that is very helpful or something that people say that isn't helpful. Cause a lot of times we just don't know how to engage with people suffering a tragedy. ROSE: I can speak. Especially from my hospice nursing experience and dealing with life and death and family and all that. I mean, it's definitely some people walk toward you with the right words. Some walk toward you with...they don't know what to say. It might agitate you but you've got to realize that they're coming from a space of love and trying to hold a space for you of love. But people also need to realize, I guess, that sometimes in these situations you don't have to say anything. Just be present and a hug, a look is helpful if you don't know the right words. BRYAN: Yeah, I think just being there really. Showing up, a hug. Don't get me wrong the meal train has been delightful and people going out of their way to do stuff, obviously, just the simple things, really. Knocking on the door, smiling, giving hugs. That's been going a long way for me. BUDDY: You know, it's funny, a lot of people they mention you something like, "I don't know what I would do! I would be losing my mind!" I just smile to myself cause it's like, you don't know what you would do and I don't know if you'd lose your mind. I'm not losing my mind. I'm angry at the unfairness of it. It's a parent, knee-jerk reaction to say something like that and I don't know if I'm gaining anything from it or not, but I think to myself, you really don't know until it happens to you. No one prepares for this kind of thing. Don't bring me food. Just sit down and talk for a minute. That's nice. I appreciate that. I'm not as social as her and Bryan. I'm the quiet guy here but it's very appreciated when someone...doesn't even have to be related to what's going on. Just to talk. Say hi, how you doing. ROSE: And in multiple texts that we're getting and people every couple days people check in and say sending love and prayers and no reply needed. So, that's nice because it's hard to reply to everybody but you care about everybody that's caring for you. BRYAN: And as exhausting as it is to keep talking about this, I find myself comforting my own self by comforting others cause people don't know what to say and I enjoy very much being like, it's ok, come here and let me get my arms around you. Let's talk about it. It's alright. It's a lot of work but it makes me feel better at the same time.

On the morning of Monday, May 24th, the Myanmar government detained a U.S. journalist before he boarded an international flight. Danny Fenster, the managing editor of the independent news outlet Frontier Myanmar, has been held captive there since that time.Fenster's childhood friend Jordan Acker recounts how the arrest sent shockwaves through the small city where they grew up: Huntington Woods, a roughly 1.5 square mile suburb of Detroit, Michigan."There's always a feeling of hopelessness when this happens, that there's not a lot that you can do in these sorts of situations," Acker recounted, detailing the community's efforts to create a "Free Fenster" logo, draw attention to his plight, and lobby local and federal officials to advocate for his release.An attorney with experience in the House Judiciary Committee, Department of Homeland Security, and the Michigan Board of Regents, Acker describes how Fenster told the stories of the persecuted before being targeted by the Myanmar regime. Acker also sounds off on retired General Michael Flynn's "despicable" and "sickening" praise for Myanmar's coup this past February.Flynn made his widely criticized remarks at a QAnon conference in Texas days after Fenster's arrest, before walking them back amid a firestorm of criticism.Learn more about Fenster at BringDannyHome.com.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
