When filmmaker Patrick Forbes decided to make a documentary about Russian newspaper editor Dmitry Muratov, Muratov had just won a Nobel Prize. Over the course of the next year, Russia would invade Ukraine, and Russian President Vladimir Putin would intensify his government's crackdown on the press – a crackdown in which Muratov and his newspaper, Novaya Gazeta, would be caught up. In this episode of The FRONTLINE Dispatch, Forbes joins host Raney Aronson-Rath, editor-in-chief and executive producer of FRONTLINE, to discuss Putin vs. the Press, the new documentary that follows Muratov as he as he faces personal attacks and fights to keep his reporters safe. Forbes recounts the difficulty of filming a documentary in Russia, where he says Muratov's story “symbolizes the increasing restriction on freedom of press in Russia” and “the slow strangling of any independent voices.” Putin vs. the Press is streaming on FRONTLINE's website, FRONTLINE's YouTube channel, and the PBS App. Want to be notified every time a new podcast episode drops?

A new documentary tells the story of journalist Dmitry Muratov. "Putin vs. the Press" chronicles how his reporting on the war in Ukraine puts his own life at risk.
The murder trial of Lucy Letby lasted 10 months and came to its conclusion this week, with the former nurse being sentenced to a whole life prison sentence. For journalists covering the trial, their work was complicated by strict reporting restrictions the judge had imposed from the outset. Also in the programme, a new Channel 4 documentary tells the story of the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta and its Nobel Peace prize winning editor Dmitry Muratov. Guests: Judith Moritz, North of England Correspondent, BBC News; Steve Ford, Editor, Nursing Times; Marc Waddington, Senior Editor, Cheshire Live; Patrick Forbes, Director, The Price of Truth; Kirill Martynov, Editor in Chief, Novaya Gazeta Europe Producer: Simon Richardson Presenter: Ros Atkins
A Nobel prize winning Russian journalist, Dmitry Muratov, is coming to Utah on the 1-year anniversary of Ukraine. But his being here isn't one of pure coincidence. He was invited by the ultimate diplomat... Utah Valley University President Astrid Tuminez. She discusses Dmitry's incredible story, her time in the Soviet Union, and why we shouldn't take democracy and the first amendment for granted. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Für die Medienfreiheit war 2022 schlicht ein desaströses Jahr. Fortschritte gibt es praktisch nirgends, dramatische Rückschritte hingegen in Dutzenden von Ländern. Darüber haben sich die beiden Journalisten Maria Ressa und Dmitry Muratov unterhalten. Die beiden gewannen 2021 den Friedensnobelpreis. Weitere Themen: Weil der herrschende Mangel an Personal im Pflegebereich zu besonders grossen Problemen führt, suchen Spitäler schon seit Jahrzehnten ihr Personal auch mittels Agenturen im Ausland. Das Kantonsspital Aarau ging nun aber noch einen Schritt weiter. Es schickte ein Rekrutierungsteam nach Rom, um Personal zu finden. Eine gute Flasche Wein hat einen Zapfen, so die landläufige Meinung. Eine Flasche mit Drehverschluss verbinden viele automatisch mit geringerer Qualität. Das allerdings zu Unrecht. Die Schweiz hat dazu intensiv geforscht. Von den Forschungsergebnissen wollen die Schweizer Weinproduzentinnen und -produzenten dennoch bislang wenig wissen.
Our host, Dr. Fethke, dedicates this episode to a remarkable college classmate and friend at a time when she needs everyone's support. This person is none other than Maria Ressa, the recipient of the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize, recognized for her tireless efforts over the past three decades to champion Freedom of the Press in the face of overwhelming obstacles. In the words of the Nobel Committee, Maria Ressa received the Nobel Peace Prize jointly with Russia's Dmitry Muratov for "their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression, which is a precondition for democracy and lasting peace."In order to do justice to Ressa's cause, Dr. Fethke has invited a very special and highly knowledgeable guest, Professor Kathy Kiely. She is the Lee Hills Chair in Free Press Studies at the Missouri School of Journalism. She has worked more than four decades as a reporter and editor for regional and national newspapers as well as online and multimedia publications. She has been recognized for her passionate support of transparency, free speech and education. After a long career covering politics in Washington, Kiely moved into the classroom full-time because, she says, universities are the laboratories that will discover the formula for making fact-based journalism viable again. Kiely has covered regional and national politics for a number of news outlets, including USA TODAY, the New York Daily News, the Houston Post, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette and the Pittsburgh Press. She served as an editor for WAMU, Bill Moyers, the Sunlight Foundation, Bloomberg Politics and helped coordinate the National Journal's campaign coverage with CBS News. She also served on the Congressional Standing Committee of Correspondents and on the boards of the National Press Club Journalism Institute and the Daily Princetonian. She holds a master's degree from American University and a bachelor's degree from Princeton University. She is the inaugural Press Freedom Fellow for the National Press Club‘s nonprofit Journalism Institute.Prof. Kiely is a well recognized advocate of Journalistic Freedom who believes that Maria Ressa's voice is at an extremely high risk of being silenced by those in power in the Philippines who are threatened by the integrity and truth of her work. Kiely has commented that the Nobel Peace Prize given to journalists Maria Ressa and Dmitry Muratov is a warning that across the globe, “forces of darkness and intolerance are on the march… Journalists are the canaries in the mine shaft.In this episode, Prof. Kiely teaches us why Freedom of Speech and Health are intrinsically linked. Dr. Fethke and Prof. Kiely review the rationale behind the U.S. Consititution's 1st Amendment protecting free speech and a free press. She then clearly reviews the evolution of digital and social media, with its pros and cons. She defines the concepts of Misinformation and Disinformation, clarifying why the latter is so dangerous to us all. She explains that the Nobel Committee has specifically recognized Maria Ressa because she has led the way for us all to understand the impact of Disinformation and is actively working on solutions to regain the integrity of facts and bring the truth back to journalism. Kiely stresses that the battles that Maria Ressa and her journalist team at Rappler are fighting in the Philippines are critically relevant to the Global pursuit of democracy. As Kiely reminds us, “My father fought in WW2 to defend and help establish a free Philippines. We must never forget that Maria Ressa's defense of Freedom of the Press is a part of our fathers' legacies. To do so would be a dishonor to their cause and memory.”LINKS:House: https://www.house.gov/Senate: https://www.senate.gov/Post office (where you can look up ZIP+4 to get House member's name: https://www.usps.com/
Ukrainian forces have made advances, liberating cities and villages in the area. There are allegations that hundreds of people may have died at the hands of Russian troops when they were in charge. Also on the programme; the Chinese president Xi Jinping has been meeting Vladimir Putin in Uzbekistan, their first face to face talks since Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine. And the independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta has lost its license to publish online in Russia. The late journalist Anna Politkovskaya wrote for that paper and its editor in chief, Dmitry Muratov, was awarded the Nobel peace prize last year.

Diretto dal premio Nobel per la pace Dmitry Muratov, “Novaya Gazeta” aveva già sospeso le pubblicazioni per decisione autonoma sin da marzo, pochi giorni dopo lo scoppio del conflitto inUcraina. I vertici del quotidiano avevano denunciato pressioni del potere per le posizioni nettamente critiche contro “l'operazione militare speciale”. «Vietato l'utilizzo della parola invasione», il monito delle autorità.
Media commentator Andrew Holden joins Kathryn to look at the harassment experienced by Nobel Prize winner Maria Ressa in the Philippines, while her fellow winner Dmitry Muratov also had his independent newspaper shut down. A Fijian journalist expelled from a press conference during a visit of the Chinese foreign minister spotted two Chinese embassy officials pretending to be reporters at the Pacific Islands Forum, and ABC in Australia is to get a five-year funding model that the new Government says will make it 'safe' from political interference and manipulation. Andrew Holden is a journalist for more than 30 years including five as Editor of The Press (in Christchurch) and four as Editor-in-Chief of The Age in Melbourne.

Dmitry Muratov auctioned his Nobel Peace Prize medal for $103.5 million to help children displaced by the war in Ukraine
*) Russian journalist auctions Nobel Peace Prize Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov has auctioned off his Nobel Peace Prize gold medal for 103 million dollars to benefit children displaced by the conflict in Ukraine. Muratov donated all of the proceeds from the sale of the medal to UNICEF's Humanitarian Response for Ukrainian Children Displaced by War. The Nobel prize was snapped up by an as yet unidentified phone bidder according to Heritage Auctions, which handled the sale. *) Russian television broadcasting in southern Ukraine Television towers in the southern Ukrainian region of Kherson have been reconfigured to broadcast Russian television as Moscow's offensive in Ukraine enters its 118th day. The Russian armed forces said they had "reconfigured the last of the seven television towers to broadcast Russian television channels" for free. In Ukraine's southern Kherson region, the Russian army has already introduced the rouble and begun distributing Russian passports as well. *) Macron to host French opposition party leaders French President Emmanuel Macron will host political party chiefs in a bid to break the impasse created by the failure of his coalition to win a majority in parliamentary elections. In a rare encounter, Macron will host Marine Le Pen, his rival in presidential elections and leader of the far-right National Rally. He will also meet with right-wing, Socialist and Communist party chiefs, while the far-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon is not scheduled to do so. The meetings are the first attempts by Macron to extract himself from a situation that risks wrecking his second-term reform plans. *) PKK supporters hold demonstration in Sweden A group of supporters of the PKK terror group has held a demonstration in the Swedish city of Gothenburg, calling on Sweden to impose an arms embargo on Türkiye. Reacting to the development, Mikail Yuksel, chairman of the Party of Different Colors in Sweden, said "the Swedish government says it considers the PKK a terrorist organisation, but implements a two-faced policy." The protest came as negotiations about Finland and Sweden's NATO bids and Türkiye's security concerns continued. Türkiye objects to the membership bids, criticising Finland and Sweden for supporting the PKK terror group, which has been responsible for the deaths of over 40,000 people across the country. *) Biggest rail strike in 30 years brings UK to standstill UK's biggest rail strike in three decades kicks off as tens of thousands of staff walk out in a dispute over pay and jobs. Picket lines appeared at dawn and will be lined by some of the more than 40,000 rail workers who are due to strike on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, bringing the network to a standstill. Unions have said the rail strikes could mark the start of a "summer of discontent", with teachers, medics, waste disposal workers and even barristers moving towards industrial action over surging prices.

President Joe Biden is preparing to call on Congress to suspend the federal gasoline and diesel taxes for three months. It's meant to ease financial pressures at the pump and reveals the political toxicity of high gas prices in an election year. Administration officials say Biden wants to suspend the 18.4 cents-a-gallon tax on gas and 24.4 cents-a-gallon on diesel fuel. If the gas savings were fully passed along to consumers, people would save roughly 3.6% at the pump. Prices are averaging about $5 a gallon nationwide. Lawmakers in both parties have been skeptical of the idea. The Democratic president also wants states to suspend their own gas taxes or provide similar relief. Senate bargainers have reached agreement on a bipartisan gun violence bill. That potentially tees up congressional passage this week on an incremental but notable package that would stand as Congress's response to mass shootings in Texas and New York that shook the nation. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer predicted Senate approval later this week, and passage by the Democratic-led House could follow quickly. It would make background checks tougher for the youngest gun buyers and bolster spending for school safety and mental health programs, and bar gun ownership by romantic partners convicted of domestic abuse. Officials say a commercial jetliner carrying 126 people caught fire after landing at Miami International Airport, though no serious injuries were reported. Airport officials say Tuesday's fire followed the collapse of the front landing gear on a Red Air flight arriving from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Afghanistan's state-run news agency reported a powerful earthquake struck a rural, mountainous region of the country's east, killing 1,000 people and injuring 1,500 more. Wednesday's quake was one of the deadliest in decades. Officials warned that the already grim toll may still rise. Information remained scarce on the magnitude 6.1 earthquake near the Pakistani border. The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders says it believes that a Ukrainian photojournalist and a soldier who was accompanying him were “coldly executed” in Russian-occupied woodlands in the first weeks of the war in Ukraine. The bodies of Maks Levin and serviceman Oleksiy Chernyshov were found April 1 in woods north of the capital, Kyiv. Reporters Without Borders said it sent investigators back to the spot to investigate the circumstances of their deaths. Visitors will return to a changed landscape in Yellowstone National Park on Wednesday as it reopens following record floods that reshaped the park's rivers and canyons, wiped out numerous roads and left some areas famous for their wildlife viewing inaccessible possibly for months to come. Civil trial jurors have found that Bill Cosby sexually abused a 16-year-old girl at the Playboy Mansion in 1975. The Los Angeles County jury delivered the verdict Tuesday in favor of Judy Huth, who is now 64, and awarded her $500,000. The jury's decision is a major legal defeat for the 84-year-old Cosby. In sports highlights, Tampa Bay's Isaac Paredes homers in his first three at-bats, Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin cruises to his ninth win, and Gronk retires again. The House Jan. 6 committee heard from state and local officials who fended off Donald Trump's pressure to overturn the 2020 presidential election. The panel investigating the U.S. Capitol attack resumed Tuesday with testimony from Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger about Trump's call asking him to “find 11,780” votes to prevent Joe Biden's election victory. His deputy Gabe Sterling and Arizona's Republican state leader Rusty Bowers were also key witnesses. The panel is focused on Trump's pressuring battleground state officials with schemes to reject state tallies and electors, all fueled by his false claims of election fraud. The Supreme Court is limiting the reach of a federal statute that requires stiff penalties for crimes involving a gun. The 7-2 decision united both conservative and liberal justices. The justices said the law can't be used to lengthen the sentences of criminals convicted of a specific attempted robbery offense. The decision was a win for a former marijuana dealer sentenced to 30 years in prison. The justices upheld a lower court ruling saying the man should be re-sentenced. Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote the decision for a majority of the court. The Supreme Court has ruled that religious schools can't be excluded from a Maine program that offers tuition aid for private education. It's a decision that could ease religious organizations' access to taxpayer money. The most immediate effect of the court's decision beyond Maine will be next door in Vermont, which has a similar program. But Tuesday's outcome also could fuel a renewed push for school choice programs in some of the 18 states that so far have not directed taxpayer money to private, religious education. The State Department is confirming the death of a U.S. citizen in Ukraine who is believed to be only the second American to have been killed in the conflict there. The department said Tuesday that Stephen Zabielski had died in Ukraine and that it is in touch with his family to provide consular support and assistance. Charitable giving in the United States reached a record $485 billion in 2021, though the increase did not keep pace with inflation. That's according to a report Tuesday that offers a comprehensive look at American philanthropy. The Giving USA report says donations in 2021 were 4% higher than the record-setting $466 billion contributed in 2020. But that it was down 0.7% when adjusted for inflation. Many nonprofits are now feeling the strain because giving is not growing as fast as price increases. Reacting to the intense needs of the early COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the calls for racial justice, giving increased in unusual ways in 2020, but has generally returned to previous patterns. In another sign that the world of entertainment is returning to pre-pandemic normal, Broadway theaters will no longer demand audiences wear masks starting in July. The Broadway League announced Tuesday that mask-wearing will be optional next month onward, a further loosening of restrictions. The head of the Texas Department of Public Safety says three minutes after a gunman entered a school where he slaughtered 19 elementary students and two teachers there was sufficient armed law enforcement on scene to stop the gunman. Yet police officers armed with rifles stood and waited in a school hallway for more than an hour while the gunman carried out the massacre. Col. Steve McCraw, director of the Texas Department of Public Safety, called the police response “an abject failure.” He says police radios did not work within the school and that school diagrams officers used were wrong. The Supreme Court has rejected Bayer's appeal to shut down thousands of lawsuits claiming its Roundup weedkiller causes cancer. The justices on Tuesday left in place a $25 million judgment in favor of Edwin Hardeman, who says he developed cancer from using Roundup for decades to treat poison oak, overgrowth and weeds on his San Francisco Bay Area property. Poland's foreign minister says the current security crisis in Europe shows that Europe cannot defend itself without the United States. But he also argued Tuesday that NATO members in Europe should take more responsibility for their own defense. Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau told a gathering of Polish ambassadors said that Poland views the engagement of the United States “as a fundamental condition of peace in Europe.” Nobel Peace laureate Dmitry Muratov says he was not expecting the medal he was auctioning off to help Ukrainian child refugees sell for the record amount of $103.5 million. Bidding in the auction ended in New York on Monday, which is World Refugee Day. The sale shatters the old $4.76 million record for a Nobel. The identity of the buyer isn't immediately known. —The Associated Press See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
*) Zelenskyy warns of Russian 'hostile activity' Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has warned that Russia is likely to intensify its offensive this week. "Obviously, this week we should expect from Russia an intensification of its hostile activities," Zelenskyy said. Ukraine applied to join the EU four days after Russian troops poured across its border in February. The European Commission recommended last Friday that Ukraine receive candidate status. Leaders of the 27-nation union will consider the question at a summit this week. *) China's oil imports from Russia soar to a record China's crude oil imports from Russia have soared 55 percent from a year earlier to a record level in May, displacing Saudi Arabia as the top supplier. Imports of Russian oil totalled nearly 8.42 million tonnes, data from the Chinese General Administration of Customs showed. Russia took back the top ranking after a gap of 19 months as refiners of the world's biggest crude oil importer cashed in on discounted supplies amid sanctions on Moscow. *) Macron's alliance loses majority French President Emmanuel Macron's Together alliance has lost its majority in the French parliament, winning 245 seats in the 577-member chamber in elections. The outcome, well short of the 289 seats needed for an overall majority, severely tarnished Macron's April presidential election victory. The setback for the French president could throw the country into political paralysis unless Macron is able to negotiate alliances with other parties. *) Colombia elects Petro as new president Ex-guerrilla Gustavo Petro has been elected the first ever left-wing president of Colombia, after beating millionaire businessman Rodolfo Hernandez. With all votes counted, Petro beat Hernandez with an unexpectedly wide margin of more than 700,000 votes. Petro has pledged to fight inequality with free university education, pension reforms and high taxes on unproductive land. And finally… *) Russian journalist sells Nobel Prize for Ukrainian children Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov is set to auction off his Nobel Peace Prize medal to help children displaced by the Ukraine conflict. Muratov said the idea of the donation “is to give the children refugees a chance for a future.” As of early Monday morning, the highest bid was $550,000. The purchase price is expected to spiral upward, possibly into the millions. Muratov will donate proceeds directly to UNICEF.
TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=6976LA VIA CRUCIS DELLA CEI ESALTA CAROLA RACKETE, GRETA THUNBERG, GINO STRADA, UN'ATTIVISTA LGBT, ECC. di Andrea Zambrano"Santa Greta Thunberg, prega per noi"; "Beato Gino Strada, ora pro nobis"; "...e per intercessione del martire Mimmo Lucano, andate in pace...". Per la CEI sono questi i testimoni del nostro tempo, ma se anche non sono battezzati non è un problema, anzi, è quasi meglio. L'importante è che abbiano speso la vita per gli altri. Gli altri, cioè tutti tranne Cristo.E di esempi, l'ufficio che redige sussidi pastorali chiamato Missio, ne ha individuati 15. Tanti quante sono le stazioni della via Crucis, che è stata proposta alle diocesi e alle parrocchie italiane per la Quaresima 2022.15 testimoni scelti da - nientepopodimenoche - la Consulta Nazionale Missio Giovani, uno degli inutili organismi pastorali della Cei che si occupa di redigere sussidi e "sostenere e promuovere la dimensione missionaria della comunità ecclesiale italiana". Missio ha prodotto un sussidio chiamato Voce dei Martiri, Eco del Verbo, dedicato ai missionari martiri. Ma di cristiani che muoiono per dare la vita a Gesù non c'è traccia. Però, ci sono loro: attivisti, premi Nobel, giornalisti e politici di poche, ma selezionate cause, i quali, come filo conduttore non sembrano avere nulla che li accomuni, ad eccezione del fatto, a parte due, forse tre, di non essere nemmeno cristiani.La cosa ha fatto indignare i fedeli di una delle poche parrocchie che per la Quaresima '22 ha deciso di utilizzare lo schema della via Crucis di Missio, quella della Chiesa di madre di Castellamare del Golfo, diocesi di Trapani. Alcuni parrocchiani si sono indispettiti per i "contenuti antropocentrici e politicizzati" dei testi e dei testimoni scelti.LE STAZIONI DELLA VIA CRUCISVediamo, dunque. Alla prima stazione la condanna a morte di Gesù viene rappresentata da Marielle Franco Da Silva, definita "un'attivista brasiliana". Di Marielle, che è stata uccisa per la "causa della giustizia in Brasile", si scopre pure che era un'attivista Lgbt, che viveva con una "compagna" di lotta, pur non disdegnando di presentarsi come bisessuale.Seconda stazione: i Nobel per la Pace Maria Ressa e Dmitry Muratov, giornalisti premiati per le loro denunce e che qui, poco ci manca, sono additati come santi patroni dei giornalisti. Terza stazione, Andrea Caschetto, chiamato "Ambasciatore del sorriso". Con la quarta stazione è il turno di Lorenza Fornasir e Gian Andrea Franchi. È poi il minuto di celebrità di Alessia Bonari, l'infermiera di Grosseto divenuta celebre durante la pandemia perché ha mostrato i segni della mascherina sul volto. Dalla foto al palco di Sanremo il passo è stato velocissimo e dall'Ariston agli altari, ancora più rapido: la quinta stazione, quella del Cireneo, è la sua.Per trovare una suora cattolica bisogna aspettare la sesta stazione: è suor Gabriella Bottani, "missionaria comboniana impegnata nella lotta contro la tratta degli esseri umani" mentre la seconda caduta è affidata a Nasrin Sotoudeh, avvocatessa per i diritti umani in Iran attualmente in prigione per il suo impegno.La speronatrice di motovedette della Marina Carola Rackete è all'ottava stazione in compagnia delle pie donne. Molto pia non deve essere, ma il sussidio la chiama comunque "attivista della solidarietà". Eccoci arrivati alla terza caduta di Gesù con Mimmo Lucano che viene lodato per l'"audacia nell'accoglienza". Il tribunale di Locri che l'ha condannato in primo grado a 13 anni e 2 mesi di reclusione non parlerebbe proprio di audacia, dato che nelle motivazioni della sentenza parla di un "illegale approvvigionamento di risorse pubbliche per garantirsi una tranquillità economica".È invece una vera e propria apostola della "Cura della casa comune" Greta Thunberg, che viene così equiparata a una "Madonna" che desidera un futuro più sostenibile. Il "calvario" prosegue con Malala Yousafzai, anch'essa Premio Nobel alla voce "diritti", che compare alla dodicesima stazione subito dopo il sacerdote cattolico Alejandro Solalinde. Chiudono la via crucis Nicolò Govoni, l'artista Afghana Samsia Hassani e appunto, in resurrexione Domini, Gino Strada.NESSUN MARTIRE DELLA CHIESAChe cosa hanno in comune questi personaggi? Che nessuno di loro è martire della Chiesa e nemmeno fulgido esempio di fede. Ad essere preso ad esempio, qui, è il loro impegno civile, solidaristico, per cause se vogliamo lodevoli, ma comunque mondane come le migrazioni clandestine e il clima.I nuovi testimoni che i vescovi vogliono proporre ai giovani non sono più i santi, sono gli attivisti. O i premi Nobel, protagonisti mondani di battaglie sempre di altri, mai nate dentro la Chiesa. Alcuni di loro fanno azioni meritorie e lodevoli (della Rackete non potremmo dire nemmeno quello), ma in quanti lo fanno perché animati da una fede e quanti invece da ideali generici di solidarietà? Se ad essere d'esempio è solo l'attivismo senza caratterizzazioni di fede, quale è il valore aggiunto dato dalla fede cattolica per il bene della società? Perché, ad esempio, visto che si parla di diritti, non c'è nessuno che si occupi di aborto e di diritti dei nascituri? In Spagna hanno appena messo fuorilegge le preghiere davanti agli abortifici, non sono forse questi dei martiri delle fede più adeguati di quelli scelti?C'è poi un altro aspetto che deve fare riflettere: [...] tra i 15 "testimoni" scelti, soltanto due sono religiosi cattolici e nessuno si muove esplicitamente per una chiamata missionaria o evangelica. Alcuni, addirittura, sono stati uccisi o stanno subendo torture in carcere, ma mai per la causa di Gesù. Ebbene, non avrebbe forse trovato meritoriamente posto un'Asia Bibi, che di persecuzione religiosa se ne intende, tra di loro? Invece, sembra proprio che il messaggio che si vuole lanciare sia: non importa che tu sia cristiano o no, l'importante è che tu faccia del bene. [...]
A Russian pullback near Kyiv revealed graphic images of horror that are shaking the world, prompting President Biden to label Putin a war criminal. Correspondent Dan Rivers visited the city and heard firsthand distressing accounts of rape and mass executions.

Prior to winning the Oscar for Best Actor, Will Smith ran up on stage after Chris Rock had made a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Smith slapped Rock. In other attention-grabbing news, the war in Ukraine continues, as do efforts to help, such as Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov stating that he would auction off his Nobel Peace Prize to help Ukrainian refugees. In The Daily Article for March 28, 2022, Dr. Jim Denison considers these stories and more as evidence of our human frailty and fallenness, then looks to prayer and our call to abide in Jesus as the answer.

Novaya Gazeta is one of the last vestiges of independent journalism operating in Russia. “He's [editor Dmitry Muratov] found a way of really getting through what's happening in Ukraine,” says the Washington Post's Paul Sonne. More than 40 LA County sheriff's deputies are members of gang-like cliques within the department, according to LA County Inspector General Max Huntsman. At the maximum security state prison Attica, more than 1,000 inmates overwhelmed guards and civilian prison workers, and took control of the facility in 1971. An Oscar-nominated film looks at what happened. “Common Ground” is a ceramics project involving raw material from all 50 states, plus D.C. and the five U.S. territories. It's meant to explore how an intensely divided America can rediscover its commonalities.
8 de marzo | San Juan, ArgentinaHola, maricoper. Hoy es 8 de marzo. En lo personal, el día del año en el que lloro sin falta. A veces es por una cifra de femicidios o violencias de género; a veces, por una foto; a veces, por un testimonio. Es un día difícil, pero cada vez que pienso en el movimiento feminista me enorgullezco enormemente de todo lo que hemos conseguido. Es un día difícil, pero me rehúso a que sea uno triste. Feliz lucha.Bienvenido a La Wikly, una columna de actualidad y dos titulares rápidos para pasar el resto del día bien informado.

Bienvenido a La Wikly.✊ Victorias feministasPor Anita PereyraLo importante: cada 8 de marzo, se conmemora el Día de la Mujer a nivel internacional en honor a las trabajadoras textiles industriales que protagonizaron los primeros reclamos por sus derechos.* Es un día para ser especialmente conscientes de la opresión que sufren millones de mujeres en el mundo, esclavizadas por el miedo a ser violentadas física, psicológica y/o económicamente por su condición de mujer.* Sin embargo, es también un día para celebrar la gran cantidad de logros que el movimiento feminista global ha conseguido alcanzar con su incansable lucha. Y de eso voy a hablarles hoy.Explícamelo: en el último año tuvieron lugar una innumerable cantidad de logros que conducen, poco a poco, a la plena igualdad de género. A continuación, tres grandes victorias del feminismo en el último tiempo que cabe celebrar hoy y todos los días:Más mujeres líderes. En 2021, ocho países han elegido o juramentado a su primera mujer Jefa de Estado o de Gobierno: Estonia, Tanzania, Samoa, Uganda, Túnez, Barbados, Suecia y Honduras.* En Túnez, Najla Bouden Romdhane fue nombrada primera ministra en septiembre, convirtiéndose en la primera mujer en dirigir un país en la región árabe.* En Albania, también en septiembre, se confirmó un gabinete conformado por un 70 por ciento de mujeres, un récord que lo colocó a la cabeza de los países con más mujeres en puestos de gobierno. Las ministras lideran las áreas de Asuntos Exteriores, Sanidad, Educación o Cultura.* En la Organización Mundial del Comercio, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala asumió en marzo el cargo de directora general. Eso la convierte en la primera mujer y la primera africana en ocupar el cargo en los 26 años de historia de la organización.* La bolsa de valores electrónica Nasdaq implementó una nueva política que requiere que las aproximadamente 3,000 empresas que cotizan en bolsa a través de su plataforma tengan al menos una mujer en su junta directiva. Aunque una revisión reciente encontró que alrededor del 75 por ciento de las empresas no alcanzaron el umbral, la decisión es un paso para garantizar a las mujeres la posibilidad de ejercer liderazgo en el sector privado.Más legislación que defienda a mujeres, adolescentes y niñas.* En España, el Congreso aprobó un proyecto de ley que define todas las relaciones sexuales no consensuales como violación, uniéndose a otros 11 países europeos que han ampliado su definición legal de violación de igual manera. El proyecto de ley también reclasifica el acoso callejero y la mutilación genital femenina como delitos penales e introduce penas de prisión por acoso sexual relacionado con el trabajo.* En Líbano, el Consejo Superior Islámico aprobó una nueva legislación que prohíbe el matrimonio de niños menores de 15 años. También estipula que las niñas deben dar su consentimiento para casarse. En caso contrario, el matrimonio puede ser anulado.* En Colombia, la Corte Constitucional de Colombia despenalizó el mes pasado el aborto hasta la semana 24 de gestación, una gran victoria para los colectivos feministas del país. El fallo colocó a Colombia dentro de los países con plazos más amplios para la interrupción del embarazo, junto a Holanda, Canadá, Reino Unido o estados como Nueva York.Más mujeres representadas y reconocidas.* Los Juegos Olímpicos de Tokio 2020, pospuestos para julio de 2021 por la pandemia, contaron con la participación de mujeres atletas en casi un 49 por ciento. Son los Juegos con mayor paridad de género de la historia. Por primera vez, hubo al menos una atleta femenina y un atleta masculino en cada uno de los equipos participantes en los Juegos, y un calendario deportivo que dio igual visibilidad a los eventos masculinos y femeninos durante las horas de máxima audiencia.* En Hollywood, Chloé Zhao hizo historia en los Oscar 2021 al convertirse en la primera mujer no-blanca en ganar el Oscar a la Mejor Dirección. La directora de Nomadland es la segunda mujer en ganar el premio que durante sus 93 años de historia ha tenido solo a siete mujeres nominadas.* El Premio Nobel de La Paz de 2021 fue para los periodistas Maria Ressa y Dmitry Muratov por su trabajo para salvaguardar la libertad de expresión. Ressa, cofundadora de una empresa de medios digitales dedicada al periodismo de investigación, es la 18ª mujer en ganar el Premio Nobel de la Paz desde su creación en 1901.¿Y ahora? El reclamo global persiste porque, aunque no es poco lo que hemos avanzado, todavía queda mucho camino por recorrer hasta alcanzar el mundo que merecen las niñas, adolescentes y mujeres adultas del futuro.* Mientras tanto, que nadie nos quite la alegría de cada pequeña gran victoria. Feliz 8M.Más información en ONU Mujeres.
Guests featured in this episode:Irene Khan, the first woman to ever hold the mandate of UN Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Opinion and Expression. She is also a Distinguished Fellow and Research Associate at the Graduate Institute's Albert Hirschman Centre on Democracy.Previously, Irene Khan was Secretary-General of Amnesty International (2001-2009) and Director-General of the International Development Law Organization (2010 to 2019). Democracy in Question? is brought to you by:• Central European University: CEU• The Albert Hirschman Centre on Democracy in Geneva: AHCD• The Podcast Company: Novel Glossary for this episode...Who is Maria Ressa? (00:5:22 or p.2 in the transcript) Maria Ressa, in full Maria Angelita Ressa, Filipino-American journalist who, through Rappler, the Manila-based digital media company for investigative journalism that she cofounded, became known for detailing the weaponization of social media and for exposing government corruption and human rights violations. Her reporting led to a backlash from the Philippine government, and Ressa, who holds dual citizenship, became an international symbol of the fight for freedom of the press in hostile circumstances. With Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov, she was awarded the 2021Nobel Peace Prize, cited for using “freedom of expression to expose abuse of power, use of violence, and growing authoritarianism in her native country.” Source What was the insurrection of Capitol Hill in 2021? (00:6:02 or p.2 in the transcript) United States Capitol attack of 2021, storming of the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, by a mob of supporters of Republican President Donald J. Trump. The attack disrupted a joint session of Congress convened to certify the results of the presidential election of 2020, which Trump had lost to his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden. Because its object was to prevent a legitimate president-elect from assuming office, the attack was widely regarded as an insurrection or attempted coup d'état. The FBI and other law-enforcement agencies also considered it an act of domestic terrorism. For having given a speech before the attack in which he encouraged a large crowd of his supporters near the White House to march to the Capitol and violently resist Congress's certification of Biden's victory—which many in the crowd then did—Trump was impeached by the Democratic-led House of Representatives for “incitement of insurrection” (he was subsequently acquitted by the Senate). Source What is the Facebook Oversight Board? (00:18:49 or p.4 in the transcript) The Oversight Board was created to help Facebook answer some of the most difficult questions around freedom of expression online: what to take down, what to leave up, and why. The board uses its independent judgment to support people's right to free expression and ensure those rights are being adequately respected. The board's decisions to uphold or reverse Facebook's content decisions will be binding, meaning Facebook will have to implement them, unless doing so could violate the law.The purpose of the board is to promote free expression by making principled, independent decisions regarding content on Facebook and Instagram and by issuing recommendations on the relevant Facebook company content policy.When fully staffed, the board will consist of 40 members from around the world that represent a diverse set of disciplines and backgrounds. These members will be empowered to select content cases for review and to uphold or reverse Facebook's content decisions. The board is not designed to be a simple extension of Facebook's existing content review process. Rather, it will review a select number of highly emblematic cases and determine if decisions were made in accordance with Facebook's stated values and policies. Source What is a platform law? (00:21:06 or p.5 in the transcript) The internet would seem to be an ideal platform for fostering norm diversity. The very structure of the internet resists centralized governance, while the opportunities it provides for the “long tail” of expression means even voices with extremely small audiences can find a home. In reality, however, the governance of online speech looks much more monolithic. This is largely a result of private “lawmaking” activity by internet intermediaries. Increasingly, social media companies like Facebook and Twitter are developing what David Kaye, UN Special Rapporteur for the Promotion and Protection of the Right to Freedom of Opinion and Expression, has called “platform law.” Through a combination of community standards, contract, technological design, and case-specific practice, social media companies are developing “Facebook law” and “Twitter law,” displacing the laws of national jurisdictions.

A Moscow court has fined Novaya Gazeta and its editor-in-chief, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dmitry Muratov, for failing to appropriately label a "prohibited organization" in the newspaper's reporting.

A pandemia da Covid-19 marcou o ano que passou, mas a Europa também enfrentou muitos outros desafios. O ano de 2021 selou o fim de um conturbado casamento. Quando o Big Ben soou as 12 badaladas, no dia 31 de dezembro 2020, após cinco anos do referendo do Brexit e de longas negociações, o divórcio entre o Reino Unido e a União Europeia finalmente saiu do papel. Ana Carolina Peliz Mas depois da separação, começaram as brigas, afinal 48 anos de união não acabam facilmente. O Brexit trouxe à tona velhas rivalidades, até então controladas para manter as aparências. Os motivos de discórdia entre o Reino Unido e seus velhos parceiros, foram muitos, principalmente com a França: licenças de pesca, imigração… Este último foi, provavelmente, um dos capítulos mais sombrios de 2021. Imigração Vítimas de conflitos em seus países, milhares de pessoas arriscaram novamente suas vidas este ano para conseguir chegar à Europa, onde foram usados como arma de barganha em crises diplomáticas. Em maio, a Espanha interpretou como gesto político a entrada de 8.000 migrantes em Ceuta, vindos do Marrocos, agravando as tensões entre Madri e Rabat. En novembro, a União Europeia acusou o presidente bielorrusso Alexandre Lukachenko de usar seres humanos, na Fronteira com a Polônia, para se vingar das sanções ocidentais adotadas para denunciar a política de repressão de Belarus contra a oposição, após as eleições presidenciais de 2020. Enquanto isso, milhares de homens, mulheres e crianças, vindos da Síria, do Afeganistão e do Iêmen ainda esperam, em um limbo entre as fronteiras, nas bordas da Europa, no frio glacial, pelo direito a uma vida melhor. Ainda em novembro, 27 pessoas morreram afogadas tentando chegar à Inglaterra em um bote inflável, em uma das maiores tragédias da história do Canal da Mancha. Enquanto França e Reino Unido se acusam mutuamente e procuram responsáveis, centenas de migrantes continuam tentando diariamente atravessar as águas geladas que separam os dois países. Rixas adormecidas 2021 também foi o ano em que rixas adormecidas voltaram a se manifestar entre a Europa e velhos aliados. Uma compra de submarinos da Austrália quase fez naufragar a amizade entre Estados Unidos e França criando uma crise diplomática sem precedentes. A Rússia também voltou a assombrar o ocidente. Começou o ano mandando o opositor de Vladimir Putin, Alexei Navalny, para uma prisão na Sibéria, em fevereiro, causando novas tensões com os países europeus, e fecha 2021 sob acusações de planejar invadir a Ucrânia. No meio tempo, Putin apoiou o governo autoritário de Alexander Lukachenko, de Belarus, sufocou vozes discordantes e perseguiu jornalistas como nos bons e velhos tempos da antiga União Soviética. Liberdade de imprensa Mas as vozes dos que lutam pela liberdade também foram ouvidas. O Prêmio Nobel da Paz de 2021 foi atribuído a dois jornalistas, Maria Ressa, das Filipinas e Dmitry Muratov, da Rússia, consagrando o combate dos dois profissionais pela liberdade de expressão. Ano delas 2021 também foi o ano das mulheres. Na política francesa, os três principais partidos escolheram mulheres como candidatas às presidenciais de 2022: Anne Hidalgo, no Partido Socialista, Marine Le Pen do Reagrupamento nacional, e finalmente, o mais importante partido de direita francês, Os Republicanos, terá uma mulher, Valérie Pécresse, para representá-lo pela primeira vez na história. Também pela primeira vez na história da Suécia, uma mulher, Magdalena Anderson, foi escolhida para dirigir o governo. Na cultura, em uma edição especial do festival de Cannes, realizado em julho, após a anulação do evento em 2020, um júri majoritariamente feminino, premiou a diretora francesa Julia Ducournau com a palma de Ouro pelo filme Titane. Ela foi a segunda mulher a receber o prêmio nos 74 anos do festival. Também foi em 2021 que, pela primeira vez, uma mulher negra entrou no Panteão: a franco americana Josephine Baker. Símbolo da resistência francesa na Segunda Guerra Mundial, a artista e militante antirracista marcou época e espíritos, a ponto de ser acolhida no monumento onde repousam os restos mortais de personalidades que marcaram a história da França. Adeus à Merkel Mas 2021 também foi o ano de dizer adeus à Angela Merkel. A chanceler se despediu do poder após 18 anos no comando da Alemanha e com uma popularidade intacta. Os alemães foram às urnas, em setembro, e decidiram por um parlamento mais feminino, mais jovem e mais diverso. Para liderar uma coalizão entre ecologistas e sociais democratas, o novo chanceler alemão Olaf Scholz tem o desafio de fazer as transições tecnológica e ecológica da Alemanha. Catástrofes surrealistas Em 2021, a crise climática mostrou suas consequências. Enquanto Turquia e Grécia enfrentavam temperaturas altíssimas, em julho, Alemanha e Bélgica sofriam com chuvas e inundações. No oeste da Alemanha, os rios transbordaram e levaram com eles árvores, casas, estradas, e 165 vidas. Centenas de pessoas ficaram feridas e desabrigadas na maior economia da Europa. "Surrealista"! Foi como Angela Merkel descreveu a devastação. O clima estava mandando uma mensagem clara aos líderes do mundo. Caso a linguagem da natureza não fosse compreendida, a ciência também alertou. Os especialistas do Painel sobre mudanças climáticas da ONU, o IPCC, revelaram, em agosto, um cenário catastrófico de mais tragédias, caso o aquecimento do planeta ultrapassasse 1,5 grau Celsius. Mais uma vez, eles denunciaram a inação dos governos diante da crise climática. Encontro perdido Para resolver essa questão, o mundo tinha um encontro marcado em 2021. Atrasada por um ano, devido à pandemia, a Conferência do Clima da ONU, reuniu 120 chefes de estado e de governo para definir os caminhos para enfrentar a crise climática, seis anos depois de terem assinado o Acordo de Paris, na Cop 21. A reunião deveria permitir a obtenção de um compromisso mais ambicioso para reduzir as emissões de gases do efeito estufa e destinar bilhões de dólares para financiar o clima, além de finalizar as regras para a implantação do Acordo de Paris. As expectativas eram imensas. Pela primeira vez na história das COPs, jovens do mundo inteiro foram convidados para sentar à mesa de discussões. A tão esperada "conferência da última chance" deixou mais dúvidas sobre o futuro do que respostas. Como previa Greta Thunberg, foi muito blá, blá, blá, mas o Pacto de Glasgow, documento produzido ao fim da conferência deixou muito a desejar e foi vago sobre as medidas que seriam tomadas para atingir a tal neutralidade carbono. Adeus a Belmondo 2021 também foi o ano em que o mundo deu adeus ao símbolo de toda uma geração do cinema francês. Jean Paul Belmondo nos deixou e foi homenageado na França com honras de chefe de Estado. Também foi o ano de voltar ao passado para tentar curar as feridas. Após seis anos dos ataques terroristas de Paris, que deixaram 130 mortos e mais de 400 feridos, foi aberto, em setembro, o processo dos atentados do 13 de Novembro. Dos dez suspeitos de comandar os ataques do Estádio da França, dos restaurantes e do Bataclan, apenas um jihadista está presente no banco dos acusados. Os outros morreram durante os ataques. Familiares das vitimas e sobreviventes tentam lidar com um luto até agora quase impossível. Entre a resolução dos conflitos internos e externos, a Europa tem muitos questões a serem resolvidas no ano que vem. Mas quando o relógio marcar a meia noite de 31 de dezembro de 2021, com uma parte dos europeus ainda vivendo com restrições sanitárias dois anos após o início da pandemia de Covid-19, restaurar os ânimos dos países será, sem dúvida, o maior desafio europeu para 2022.

Journalists Maria Ressa of the Philippines and Dmitry Muratov of Russia won the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize on Oct. 8 for fighting for freedom of expression in countries where reporters have faced persistent attacks, harassment, and even murder. Ressa and Muratov were honored for their “courageous” work but also were considered “representatives of all journalists who stand up for this ideal in a world in which democracy and freedom of the press face increasingly adverse conditions,” said Berit Reiss-Andersen, chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Ressa in 2012 co-founded Rappler, a news website that the committee noted had focused critical attention on President Rodrigo Duterte's “controversial, murderous anti-drug campaign” in the Philippines. Muratov was one of the founders in 1993 of the independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta, which the Nobel committee called “the most independent newspaper in Russia today, with a fundamentally critical attitude towards power.” (AP) This article was provided by The Japan Times Alpha.

Nobels fredspris går i år till Maria Ressa och Dmitry Muratov, journalister som arbetat oförtröttligt i farliga miljöer i Filippinerna och Ryssland. Ingen har påstått att de inte skulle vara värdiga pristagare, men man kan också kalla dem för säkra kort för Nobelpriskommittén, som flera gånger har trampat i klaveret. Hör DN:s utrikeskommentator Michael Winiarski om kontroversiella pris och överraskade pristagare genom historien. Programledare: Sanna Torén Björling. Producent: Palmira Koukkari Mbenga.

Journalist Maria Ressa, a 2021 Nobel Peace Prize winner and the subject of the documentary A Thousand Cuts, joined director Ramona S. Diaz and FRONTLINE's executive producer, Raney Aronson-Rath, for a special conversation prior to the Nobel ceremony. Ressa and her fellow Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dmitry Muratov are the first journalists to receive the prestigious award since 1935. Ressa and her staff at the independent news site Rappler in the Philippines have been at the forefront of reporting on both President Rodrigo Duterte's bloody drug war and the rapid-fire spread of online disinformation in support of Duterte. A Thousand Cuts chronicled how Ressa and Rappler became top targets in Duterte's crackdown on the news media — and how Ressa vowed to “hold the line” in the face of numerous court actions and online harassment. With Ressa now a Nobel Peace Prize winner for her efforts, she joins Diaz and Aronson-Rath to discuss disinformation, the importance of journalism and press freedom, the future of democracy in the Philippines, why she believes the world is in the midst of “a global rise in fascism” similar to the last time a journalist won a Nobel Peace Prize, and how “we need to make sure facts survive.” “When you live in a world without facts, you can't have truth. You can't have trust,” she says. “And when you don't have that, your shared reality is torn apart.” A Thousand Cuts is now streaming on FRONTLINE's website, the PBS Video app and FRONTLINE's YouTube channel. After Philippine distributors and TV broadcasters did not license the film, FRONTLINE secured full streaming rights in the country so that it would be available for the Philippine public to view via FRONTLINE's platforms.

A Moscow court handed down six fines totaling 132,000 rubles ($1,820) to Novaya Gazeta and its editor-in-chief, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Dmitry Muratov, for allegedly failing to disclose the status of "foreign agents" mentioned in the newspaper's articles.

The roughly ten thousand company documents that make up the Facebook Papers show a company in turmoil—and one that prioritizes its economic interests over known harms to public interest. Among other things, they catalogue the company's persistent failure to control disinformation and hate speech. David Remnick spoke with Maria Ressa, an investigative journalist, in the Philippines, who runs the news organization Rappler. She has been the target of hate campaigns by supporters of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, and in October Ressa (along with the Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov) received the Nobel Peace Prize for working to protect freedom of expression. Ressa is also a co-founder of what's called the Real Facebook Oversight Board, a group of expert observers and critics who are not affiliated with Facebook's own quasi-independent Oversight Board. She doesn't see easy tweaks to ameliorate the damage; the fundamental approach of steering content to users to maximize engagement, she feels, is inherently destructive. “We've adapted this hook, line, and sinker: ‘personalization is better,' ” Ressa points out. “It does make the company more money, but is that the right thing? Personalization also tears apart a shared reality.”

This week the Nobel Committee awarded Maria Ressa and Dmitry Muratov the Nobel peace prize for their efforts to safeguard freedom of expression. Ressa and her attorney, international human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, join Fareed to discuss why fighting for a free press is essential in maintaining healthy functional democracies around the world. Then: on Wednesday, Taiwan's defense minister said that tensions with China are at their worst in 40 years, Fareed talks to former U.S. national security advisor Lt. General H.R. McMaster (Ret.) about the tense relationship between China and Taiwan and why the U.S. and its partners in the region need to aid Taiwan. As the northern hemisphere enters the winter months, the next energy crisis seems to be looming on the horizon. Tom Friedman, New York Times columnist, explains why there needs to be a global comprehensive energy plan that shifts to cleaner fuels. Plus, Fareed's book “10 Lessons for a Post-Pandemic World” comes out in paperback with a new afterword where he reflects on one more important lesson that he learned during the latter part of the pandemic: how individuals need to build inner resources of mind and spirit.
