for costs, government is asking people with respect tree conditions to limit the time they spend outdoors. so now you can go explains apocalyptic scenes over the acropolis as dust from the sa hara accumulated india. it cost a shroud of athens, turning the skies on orange hue, reducing visibility and prompting will socrates to sound the alarm? we have to be careful to not breeze, so it's air right and we have to stay home. many took the advice to stay in doors. they weren't fancy communities, 40 a. i felt a discomfort. i tried to deal with it by staying in the house so that it didn't affect my health for the others mobile at the spectacle. hey, then everything was orange. it's really felt like we witnessed the hara we were waiting for the camel's to post by this and this, this cloudy orange tinted haze is a frequent phenomenon. did usually happens in spring and autumn load mutual,
7:31 am
logical systems and strong winds transfer does fluids from the hard? does it sending the skies, bringing with it the risk of coming wildfire as seasonal. so this time of the year, but a devastating has it in a country that experience has major blazes every year. but there is one positive outcome of this dusty display. the clouds act as a new tree into the oceans, feeding tonton and fueling the growth of lorene micro organisms forming the basis of an intricate, essential food web. sonya guy, yeah, go, i'll just era for at least 4 people have been injured on the streets of central london is runaway horses cause chaos. when they collided with vehicles, it broke loose during the routine training session at hyde park military facts, less than a mile away from buckingham palace. 8 belonging to the household cavalry. it's responsible for ceremonial jews. he's and guarding the british monic. eventually
7:32 am
the police managed to capture them and take them to a met. one of the last art works by austrian, on his go stuff. attempts has been sold auction for $32000000.00 for trace of misplaced, so was painted the year before his death in 1918. maybe essentially it was thought to have been lost but was recently rediscovered in vienna on have plenty of works that european rec, or last year, selling for nearly a $110000000.00 a lot set for me for now. another full bulletin coming up in about 25 minutes. i'm going to bring you all the latest on the protests against the war and causes that have been spreading on college campuses in the united states to stay with us for that. after that listing place that's coming up next, indonesia is building a new capital city. deep in the jungles of borneo,
7:33 am
this is for the original from across the nation. but not everyone supports the idea . i mean, i get that from within when we had, we see this as an authoritarian, the search was on the 101 east with deals engine. these you using a mega sitting on out to 0. it was an iranian military attack that was made for tv . so was b as randy response. but what were all of this lead to, apart from taking the eyes of the world off of goss terminology matters, the new york times knows. and the language it is using on gaza is a story onto itself. plus believers in kenya led to their graves by a television where, where the regular, the, it's been a week now since more than $300.00. a ronnie and miss files and drones were launched. israel's way, but despite the initial alarm, the rush to the bomb shelters, the doomsday scenarios,
7:34 am
and all the regional war fits, failed to materialize. instead, israel conducted a limited counter attack on friday on military targets is for han, which was similar to a ron's strategic approach. the vast majority of those a ronnie and projectiles were shot down by israel or its allies. the damage was minimal. 0 is ready, fatalities, and outcome that military experts concluded was by design. israel's response also have more to do with spect call the substance because the nothing. yeah. who government have the optics to consider? don't act and risk losing face or retaliate when it's primary back or the us that called for a strength at least publicly. whatever happens next runs 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 this is where the forces
7:35 am
continue to slaughter. palestinians conduct the, any kind of a battle between the or on it as well as not only a battle between 2 arms military's or 2 sets of government officials issuing competing or conflicting statements. it's also the bottle of nerves, the bottle for information superiority for international support and sympathy. when our news feeds, which are on that night, with the images of military fireworks in the skies over is, there was reason to fear the worst. depending on who's in front of the story, ron's airborne, a saw was either a reckless active progression that risk triggering a wider war firing a 100 percent ballistic. nissan is a dangerous escalation or a deliberate act of restraint. but it only might have to
7:36 am
know that it proved to be a highly performative exercise on the wrong spot that resulted in no is rarely fatalities have more to do with messaging than anything else and have to leave warmongers disappointed when the one in perspective it was a chance to put on a spectacle to really get the headlines and show that they engage an unprecedented direct action against you as well. but he was mania message because we didn't have the mass casualties on israel's park. it was a to opportunity to put out the message that he was able to defend itself. 99 percent of the missiles were shot down, so from both sides that could claim victory. not only they, ronnie and strike was well telegraphed in advance. it was clearly coordinated in a fashion, but israel and its allies could defend effectively. so the point was not destruction . the point was
7:37 am
a political message that they run is were sending to try to re establish determinants against this or israel's response to a runs attack. took 6 days to get to was a 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 administer due to them are bandages who friday would call that link. while the as rios cheerleaders like the british prime minister, offered their approve. and we have condemned rollins, reckless and dangerous biologists. missiles against is ronald satch day and is wrong so that he has the right to self defense, which was consistent with what had come out of the white house and the many western governments. in the aftermath of a ron's initial attack, that the as law mac republic was the address. busy so let's be straight. given the scale of this attack, ron's intent was clearly to cause significant disruption and casualties. v us
7:38 am
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 1st, the killed 2 were running in generals, among others. it was a position you can also to that when challenged proved to be a hard so black and white. but what britain to the hostile nation from one of our comes to us, we would take it. we would take the very strong action the under, i would say that that's what that is. well, even those well aware iran has influence beyond its borders and uses it's embassies and consequences cover when arming it's regional allies have said this really strike in damascus was dangerous. we provo here, i must be very, very critically about this, right? it was one of those adventures that these are, these call me think only because it is possible. there was hardly pay the
7:39 am
bank about the consequences to know the price about the day off the. i mean it explained it. we said damaging the military capability of the rod office and by law whole i'm us i'm the lien beholden mccomb before the over to the northgate. that's what should always interest on. what is this rubbish? by the end of the day, it's about showing cool. these really much are these really james bond. the parents would never be achieved through us as a nation's and say, capabilities are not damaged by those us as a 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 at times has responded with restraint.
7:40 am
over the past few months, israel had killed multiple sidney or 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 sword. so this is not a one sided fights and you rarely see the western media trying to strike a 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 via ronnie and military could have launched more of its drones and miss files through one of its proxy such as has bhalla and 11. all right, next door to is instead did not only send almost all of them from iran, the broadcast that some of those launch,
7:41 am
given me is released and they're american and british allies, 3 hours to prepare for them and ultimately take most of the missiles down. 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 for atari 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 longer abilities in the ways in which iran has respond that 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,
7:42 am
particularly in the aftermath of the serial bombing. at the same time, most of you, all new ones, are not in favor of war. there focuses on their daily lives, 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 quasi attack on the history of this story of performative warfare and shadow diplomacy descended into the observed 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 yours, part of the secret is equally absurd. was this youtube i posted online
7:43 am
by the netanyahu government trumpeting re intersection of a ron's missiles and declaring that is real, which has spent 6 months old with her reading gossip ended, some muslim population acted to protect some of these loans. totally assigns it. the silver, the colors. i mean really pope i got that can go as far as it wishes, but is relative not to take the holy places and he run visit the target they holy place. this is what is violating severely for decades. the freedom of full folk sheep, the most of them's mainly palestinians to get there when it's needed time it's about the. busy may take a one, a little sympathy backs to is res, north 20th and you know so much money is right and the permanent visit is what he's going to lose. or the simple see, is there any way to go for, for an estate k,
7:44 am
as it seems now, as it eventually did, 6 days later, a greater value to is reopen any sympathy or runs attacks may have produced, is the distraction. it creates away from the horrific stories and still coming out of cost of so many more palestinian bodies getting on air, 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 any but telegenic story that 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,
7:45 am
robbie is here with the latest example of to report this post beat by the investigative new side, the intercept levine, the memo that editor's at the times sent the stuff back in november and which has been regularly updated since the memo is effectively a style guide for the coverage of israel's post october 7th assault 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 domain ology ones, the papers journalist against using tons of photos should the guidance says avoid using the phrase ok by tennessee when describing palestinian land, which is where is ministry is according to international, no occupying as one time source interviewed by being deceptive or good. 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, cleared of the to them. but if you jacobs for pots of gaza that are home to
7:46 am
palestinians, displaced to doing t v as was, 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 the use of this terminology in this response to the interest that support a times books. but some said that issue in 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 leave by home, us on october 7th, to be considerably to send in the times as newsroom over the papers guys have coverage clearly that discontent is stay brewing and still leaking out to the intercept. thanks man. of 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
7:47 am
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 or 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 answer is 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
7:48 am
less millions, a coastal town in east, and can you 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 that see we will 1st quote here by the police. were informed that the 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. that will lead to the 1st by 10 evangelists named pul mackenzie. useful to have told them that the bill was ending and that in order to reach card, they would have to starve themselves to fish children. then women, then men. mackenzie said he would follow it. but he never did. so tell me about for
7:49 am
mackenzie, what do we know about him initially? was the taxi dividing money andy? and did he formed his own minister? no called good news international ministries that touch, according to the advisor who 1st went in, was just a good charge made of course, happen until 2015 the now when it became intended funding is to have a pass, the message started changing. he started introducing they showed the new with the prophecies, and all these prophecies was tested live on television. now not that one, michael pulled up on my danish, telling me about, mackenzie's follows those that followed him into this 1st. it came from fun. why? because again, they had to follow as oliver. so presumably many of those people would never have heard of poor mackenzie written, not for his tv channel. correct? there's still an estimated $600.00 of poor mackenzie's for those who are still
7:50 am
missing and check on the 1st. one of them is a woman named pamela nicholas. single. she's from bung, gomez, it's accounting northwest. can you the opposite end of the country in india? 1000 kilometers. from yeah, we've managed to find his son, he's living and not robi, so i'm off to the capital to meet him. in 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 guaranteed prosperity. typically, in exchange for donations, what's it made? some till eventually very well and influential. for some viewers, often the most valuable. so the promise being directly into the homes of divine intervention, 5 is cost is previously resistible for mackenzie is what we would refer to as
7:51 am
a carrier. is magic the sovereignty to the no, no, no problem is the good problem when i, pennsylvania. 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 criticism. comparing to other african, tell evangelists, 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? so now when mystery kicks in, then you know somebody is believed to have inflammation or news or power that other people don't top. and so that's the county of mystical element is what really endeared him to a lot of people come in and what kind of thing his son, which is she boost. it says that she would spend her days watching mackenzie's
7:52 am
times t v channel, and was captivated by his simmons that promised spiritual meaning. 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, or mostly to define them. i be 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 you 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 side of my mind when we're done to mackenzie. when religion comes under the agency of media, then media transforms, that's religion. and so perhaps for people like pull mckenzie media tended to give
7:53 am
them some kind of reputation and trade. credit ability to for like cause the 1000000 delay or little tons. who didn't know what general po, mackenzie is, 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 new kitchen is evil and then later on we see it moving into a space of danger. shit, me. i'm in the buckets. yep. ok. as the site the hollinger. yeah. now it's difficult to predict what the particular option will be, because not all diverse innovations of a main steam village and will become deviant and not old deviant innovations of a mainstream. religion will become deigned to this, but sometimes they do. the question now is, at what point should the kenyan authorities have intervene and could they have done
7:54 am
so well, upholding mackenzie's constitutional right to freedom of thought and religion. the communications authority is the party responsible for regulating full cost media in the country. this past april, it's suspended mackenzie's tv channel, but only off to the check. a whole other story had broke. and even then it was mostly for administrative non compliance, 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 controls the information. but when you have 322 visitations for you to make sense of that content knowledge, we, how do 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 to see something unbecoming then the able to report. then we can now go
7:55 am
specifically to track down that specific 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. or if you're lucky to electrical nature, unless the soul or get them to facilitate content that we looked at, we did not see a direct link with them. i do not think that yes, they may not be a direct link to check a whole lot, but that that problem method content needs and miracles and the prosperity preaching. yeah. do not think that needs to be regulated. you know, the trouble with the issues of religion and faith is exactly the 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 ahead for to that to end up being a policeman at the people's punches. but that balance has to be struck,
7:56 am
wasn't really big southern for us pull mackenzie is now in jail and faces multiple charges. but the media environment in which he thrived and the constitutional rights that protected him remains the same. kenya is 85 percent christian, and 10 evangelists wheeled enormous influence. the politicians wanting to stay in power, unlikely to challenge the hedge and many of these to the positives and the armies of faithful followers. even if that leaves an untold number of valuable people at risk. so him was, i talked to him to go to god, but it will begin number 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 and 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 have been trying to find her ever since,
7:57 am
