gentleman, he also won an emmy for his role and the tv series roots almost 9 months after it's a global release. the hollywood blockbuster about the most amount and behind the atomic bomb is finally available in japan for residents of hiroshima. oppenheimer has opened to mixed reviews and emotions for the a call reports at the pace memorial in hiroshima. again, back to don't is preserved as a reminder of what happened here and, and mega saki. in 1945. the 2 atomic bonds draft by the us air force killed an estimate of 200000 japanese. now the blockbuster film about the american nuclear scientists to help develop the weapons has finally been released in japan almost 9 months after everywhere else. topics. audiences in hiroshima have mixed emotions.

i mean, this film was telling the story from the american perspective, from the slide who invented the atomic bomb hiroshima and nagasaki. whether you tell me comes with drop to certainly the victims. but i think even though the inventor is one of the perpetrators doing so, victim co, tough in the will. oppenheimer swept the academy awards earlier this month, including best actor for irish actor, kelly and murphy, who portrayed the conflicted physicist the films initial release in japan was delayed after a public backlash against an advertising campaign. critics, a trivialize to bombings you still find, hold on. i really like christopher norman's feelings, of course, this is an amazing film which deserves to win the academy awards in the united states. but the film also depicts the atomic bomb in a way that seems to price it. and as a person roots in her wash and i found it difficult to watch, i'm not sure this as a movie, the japanese people should make a special edit to say to someone oppenheimer reflects on the impact on the so

called father of the atomic bomb. and here she met the memory of its victims, will still cast a long shadow, long after the movies run and for the car out to 0. finding this bulletin, some eye catching pictures from iceland of to of night to is most spectacular events at the same time. and the rocked in volcano and the northern lights full interruptions and as many months have questioned the nearby fishing town of going to vic flows of lava and now being seen against the background of the aurora borealis. well that set for this half hour of news, but to stay with us in the report is coming up next. thank you very much for watching the on counseling the costs, the world's population is shrinking rapidly. how will that affect the global

economy regulators on both sides of the atlantic it cracking down? take monopolies, plus the june, the gas and take your offices narrowing. but we will be, want doubts counting the cost on the al, just here. i am in the garden in the, in the 3 on the east of delhi election time. and always on the, in the top opposition leader is on the box, the big on the seemingly unstoppable jargon off of prime. and it's been that in the movie was thinking of pumpkins, i could have done the others and claim that mister moody's success rates has very little to do it as governance. but the law because for the drive of the building, all guns have been and that's been our job, one questionable ground. this is a, has leak out, the opposition and gain the political it enough in favor of the ruling party. in the episode of being the board on examine whether these actions ought as the prime

minister green bought of various again i level can option on an unprecedented targeting of the opposition, which is deeply dangerous. doing the democracy, the take you to go into them all these went to box on the back of promises to clean up that option the the, it's the message that resonated with voters in the country with political, that is c as in damage. but increasingly more the slogan of 0 tolerance,

look at options up, you'll have to become a pose, handicapped, the opposition and reinforced the supremacy of the ruling party, the big deal, governments using law enforcement to target the driver is not new to india, but evidence shows that the trend has been double charged under the more the government from a database we've combined really use that and with 10, yes, movies been involved. more than 400. all physician leaders have been docketed by federal agencies, a massive bike compared to the previous government. more than 90 percent of all the politicians investigated by federal authorities from the opposition. so sent me into the legion pieces and oh it's we have a situation with investigator bodies likes the enforcement detected and the c, b, i, the central bureau of investigation that autonomy has been systematically underlined . what we're seeing is that why cases of corruption against political opposition

and those political of the government are being taken off in the very, very serious mental those against members of the voting funding are not being taken up seriously. and in fact, there is what is even though the washing machine phenomenon with people who are a face serious allegations of corruption ones, the joingotomeeting findings, they're somehow there are the pieces, it gives somebody the drop or the agencies are going slow on them. the main agency driving these cases, the enforcement did exit commonly referred to as a b in get anti money laundering for us in the eighty's cross has cause of lead to the congress in guys main opposition party. starting with the stop most leadership, sonya and his son drop who's gone the a months before the elections. the chief minister of tompkins stage an eastern

india was invested by the easy on production allegations linked to real estate. in the south indian state of 10 and on the party of kansas, she cut off another challenger to the b a, b as come under the these cross file for a scam relating to alcohol, retail in another southern states, some of the not the d as fain that's guns on the d m t party straightened critics often will be raising filing charges against and jailing it's ministers and legislators in the state of westbank on the e. d is investigating 50 or leaders of the tenement congress. a feisty drive will have to be on a post of charges. you can cut off the capital of westbank on re me, derek or brian of the turn, the move congress. the government says this, this box off and, and pick that up and say, this is not a political vendor so that you would say what i last week believe this 96 percent of these cases are against members of

non busy. but let me give you a little example. my colleague is a member of parliament from being on the scene with the chief minister. his candidate was announced within 3 days, he's been guard by one of the agents. and so the interesting thing is that they would know shamelessly. there's no pretense off, you know, you're not position. are you saying then the charges on which that they proceed on not genuine because their argument is that these are serious charges. a little bit of people in your own fucking, they've been charged with everything from ponzi schemes, call smuggling, and no cash for government job has money long. but in all of that, anyone drove in the course. but you argument does that work, that the, that jumped up, journeys are all, jumped up, charges this side works, this pressure because the pressure is put by this. i think the best example is the

former chief minister, my last western indian state for my sending him stay home and he just said to join with the be shipping. uh, they also fall tomorrow. so treatment essential double quick. the congress body is set to join the b g b. today. we contacted mazda police, doesn't spokespersons of the media, me with questions on the correct zone on the opposition. they either didn't respond or decline that request. the one person who agreed to give us an interview on this matter was obvious. i go to a president of the bot association of industrial theme car and a sense of out staunch backup of the movie government. because onto this, to our questions were often off topic or difficult to make sense of. no one is above the law. but surely when you see the very one sided mind in which hundreds of all policing leaders i targeted. and rarely anybody from the say shortly, that is a method of deep concern in a democracy. and i don't look in that sense,

you have to understand if somebody come with mistakes extensively taken about it, it didn't fish on gorgeous them. but when you're only targeting one site, according to the data, 90 percent of the leaders targeted by enforcement agencies that off the opposition and only 10 percent of non opposition. that's the issue. that makes it seem like it is the one sided administration of you've got to see that everybody's got a politician of every political 5. it's got a if only opposition politicians like that up ruling party maybe not. got very likely. but in india, there is probably jen, if you'll see that somebody has come a good wrong and they were investing their thing against that. not that conviction . india had free and fair of the city.

the nothing typifies the collect on the opposition more than the targeting of the party once seen isn't the fastest growing political start up. for decades in the us, political scene was dominated by 2 national parties. initially, the congress led by the gun, the family and liter, not in the movies, b, j. b. all that changed a decade later when the of the party booked onto the scene on the back of an antique corruption movement that drew millions through the street. the cat, his magic leader of engaging was even booted as a challenger to movie. what are the people on the call on the ground? think about who would be the possible challenge of the movie? i think the one name which is very commonly taken by the common both us underground is that when category was dog and dizzy von met in the mood,

the get challenger funds have been a subsidy about how long you take. uh, a neat marcie, a basement you didn't need it. so i'm going to because because button got a lot of a in a short span of time. i'm out of the bought the phone. the government in the state of any gives you the game is chief minister, the one the neighboring state of one job and set the sites on other regions. but then in what seemed to be a strategically timed move, the more the government's antique that option agencies. so then that we all know the body has as uh, the body g bargains easy while it is likely to be arrested in tomato or to these torpedoes of the ab including gives you a what a q and a complex charges of corruption and money on i am outside the heart of daily news any behind these walls are some of in the most notorious criminal. but increasingly, over the past 2 years, it has become going to lead us of the ahmad me,

foggy with so many of it stop, lead us either in prison or facing a few of charges. the future of him does up and coming up with the body is on the question. the intention of the b zippy is definitely to line the image of the i'm, i'd me 5 be they want to show that the cut off to like them, which is not the j. as you know, people understand this and we want to understand that it's been for yours. and so many of our lead does that behind bars know people see how we have been victimized . people see that if you know you look at our history, v wouldn't be the far the which has been how the most many voters we spoke to in delhi, however, seemed to support the actions against the, the german who's a baby i. and i began as that was an a avenue i really just don't want to ask about sort of where you live and i have like,

i don't know how to decide on a day or 2. got a lot of good. i've had to go up because i have to go up, you and i think god got out there and we'll get together. what are your other? i'm sorry for the pretty good entity. ology. maybe john is going to give me just go ahead and give you guys go fully. if you do decides the dates and if you are able to get the dizzy that you've already go, namely a little budget to be gone. that is the books of why i don't have the, the, what the part, thank you to make it will take you part day on monday. so that he's going to the holiday to see this is a part of the school the with, if you can. yeah. and come with the, you see a big heavy duty parking i. c v i a and i, yeah you did some weird if that didn't get the channel that you say in a go tunnel. they did it into the abuse of steve pod is not new in india. back in 1975, an autocratic prime minister in that guntee of the congress bobby impose the state of inc, done, and emergency training her opponents and suspending civil liberties. duty that

oppressive practices of the movie that she's being seen as wanting indicators of democratic back lighting in 2021. the us based watch dog freedom house dropped india as meeting from 3 to 5 pc. while the sweden beast v. them institute that india is one of the worst part of the size of in the last 10 years. there is a concern about what all of this is doing to in getting them up to speed of global democracy, watch dogs. it has begun to downgrade india. it is what they call an elect to the doctor. see, one of the reasons is because of the way the opposition is being docked with. so not with guided by western media or agency. i know what they are. i'm the president of into management, gone to the abilities that is somewhat of a deflection, the language to me that the idea that india is not doing. and when i looked at it, i talked to see that, you know, you'll be watch dogs. is that not

a matter of how these reports i've been influenced? i know in washington dc, 1125, senate that's and fund grissman from both 5 is that offending a lot of fun friends on india independent bit. how does that? i'm sending the onset of this, what i'm saying, we paid them there to get and to stay that good in washington dc. and they will be at a site that they have so many problems. they do that, these watch dogs when they come up with these reports, they have an agenda. this is not independence. there's not a new could be big, can be i would that i'm saying the most democracies around the world today is we're experiencing it on a product or

a session or not dying with dramatic military. cool, or with the overnight or rest of opposition. it's instead exactly what we see happening in india, namely, it's the government using the might of the state to slowly a road, democratic protections. and in particular, the right citizens and office ocean parties to defend against the government. and that, and that right is only meaningful if you want to defend, but at some point, almost everybody wants to defend. and that's in fact, the core of what democracy is. the biggest piece of democracy is the threat they point to a number of federal actions. they've lost principal, they came to ball, but the opposition says that even going to be different uses. they use enforcement agencies to target legislators of opposition, government getting defections, andrew. but i think that there's all these actions that happen so often that the media even has

a name for it. they call it operation lot is named after the dripping sparky symbols in 20. 19 in the southern state of connecticut, members of the ruling coalition crossed over to the beach and they're getting a change in government. several of the defectors were being investigated by federal authorities for tax violations. similar tactics that play in the western state of modest chuck listen government collapse of this cause of nitrous because many of them being investigated by federal agencies broke away and aligned with the pgp in the senior. and that what is taught on a go up a top congress lead up being investigated for corruption live in x. it is through the media be with us by the media to explain his decision. he said it was divine intervention. one, but let them both on the board and the bodies that this is in my mind. what i then god said, why don't. why don't position politicians who joined the b. j. b in 2020 to lift

the cat out of the bag. when he said he's keeps easier. now that he's a member of the ruling party. the. what's the job the, the, the law is the same with the do you have enough budget and? no, but it's, but i'm wondering in the bottom, we know, but it's, but i'm wondering, you know, partition same law fluids. here's the argument against that. the same law through this because what is happening is the same all position lead us like jobs with that option. the moment they could also to the link party, suddenly the cases against them goes to the. no, it is not good, it would case you're saying i have been close. okay, let me give you many examples. there's a politician in the eastern state of us on

a month, it's less than a month. he was a q and then what is called a ponzi scan. and he joins the link, but the, the case against him has gone into a back. but there's another one and then it has been right. so the let me finish, you was reportedly caught on hidden camera accepting. but i enjoyed, so it'd be, it'd be again, the case is going to court up on edition from western india, not on a it gives them money laundering joins to be there. be that all opposition politicians and the crossover again, the case was on the back one. it may be possibly, but initially advisory board must have been laws that gives them. and then all of these people may be, we've, uh, was the charges i, i'm not saying anything. i'm not to be opposed. the, i have not gone through the allegations. this is a good option against the beach if you have repeatedly surfaced but vastly get anywhere. in 2016 charges of cronyism and corruption flared over the more the government's purchase of french 5 digits for about $9000000000.00, sewage amounts of money, welfare middleman,

and the dean. the vindication of corruption allegations against prime minister movie and his government. the matter was eventually closed by the supreme court, even though an ongoing pro, by french investigate those into the judges, is reportedly being stored by india and association of contractors from south india, who wrote to the prime minister in 2021 accusing of egypt. the state government of charging 40 percent kickbacks on all gum with contacts received no meaningful response. in the us government auditor, the c g 2 has these red flags with little to no follow up. it is really very important that agencies that are responsible for investigating and prosecuting cases of corruption be allowed to function independently and do their job. that is the only way that people and the country wouldn't know whether there is good option on that good option. could also be stand where it's happening.

otherwise, we wouldn't have a situation where there might be claims of corruption for india. but in the fact that option gabby's on perhaps the most tracking charge of financials or ongoing against the more the government involved lucky booth. and nancy, 7 years ago, they introduced a scheme which allows individuals and corporations do make anonymous contributions to political foxy's, to financial instruments. notice elect football and despite objection that this would open the floodgates of city money and the politics, the government fin went ahead 7 years later, the b j b has i'm off the equivalent of 790 $1000000.00, you know, big donations making it 8 times whether the bend is near the thrive of the congress poppy. and with this massive war chest, the b, g, b, aided by indian election laws, which place limits from spending by political bodies has significantly out spent

its rivals. in 2022, the b g b spends the equivalent of over a $150000000.00 on election 6 times more than it's needed. his driver in 2017, a group of british notes including an election watch dog and some opposition parties challenged the electra bond scheme in india. supreme court arguing that it's a form of legalize corruption, allowing the wealthy to anonymously by save us the government and influence policy . in february of this year, the quarter, the striking down the scheme is illegal, but not the forwarded. it vastly enriched the ruling party. even though the scheme has been stuck down, the ruling party is sitting on close to $800000000.00 to these funds, which gives them an undue advantage when it comes to elections. again, not it will be for democracy. let's see if you are a bit biased and when i bid funds, if you add the big send it big,

you will have more population. but there's never been such a gap. this gap is, is highly, always would be the one that has to c home they had, they had given before. i'm going to say that is rolling in some states. they lots of that. the opposition mild and cut off scene investigation. a gosh, which ruling party that barely faces any scrutiny? the media largely doing the government flying. even one of the last remaining for them for defense in just parliament has largely become dysfunctional. what does it mean to bother me today? what is the problem is, i mean, you know, i've, once i'm sick, so i've just been busy with this for the night before that box. and then go from what the government, the one that was of payments. what do you know and on position notice for the discussion has not been accepted and now in the upper house of parliament since

2016 once his father the opposition must have it's see the government must have it the percentage of bills of effort to bottom and see committees has fallen from 60 percent to 17 percent in the past 2 decades. bottom and had only 274 cities in the past 5 years, making it the shortest for them parliament in 7 decades. opposition. and these are being suspended or even expensive, including the leader of the main opposition party drop. who guntee? this data is restored after the thoughts intervene. matters came to a head in the winter of 202018. 0 is it that these people weren't able to reach bolivar and security and getting smoke? dennis does in say, the fundamental opposition demanded a debate and a major security breach in parliament. the government projected the demand in

suspended an unprecedented $146.00 opposition and b's for protesting off how these are the law. and he believes the opposition and all parties and is not part of me thing. the link by the to the heart, they find the man or a session. then what is the order or the narrative. but it's the day when the is the responsibility of the government of the day. that on following that, after all, even battle of the opposition to oppose or board with bill, the bottom of the bed, not outside the i didn't. so you are blaming the disruptions of the house of the non functioning of the house, entirely on the opposite. not going to notice sponsibility, i mean, you walk into bonham and i knew how the chorus, what is the people? oh, the

last ones. the democracy in the parliament is in serious danger. indian parliament is on the print off becoming a, b, j. b ocoee office. the prime minister, this dean of the opposition in his quest for political monopoly has never been conceived. when will be 1st ventured office, he coined a slogan to describe his adventure to avoid a fungus mixed india in india, 3 of the congress. most of this is main political drive was to cease to exist on the front of you, bob, the the, the decade later, that approach of stamping or any political competition appears to be an extended

work to be, to be inside opposition more these live of, by 3rd by corruption charges, we couldn't buy defections. some of its lead us even in jail. now, with that in the morning set to, to turn to a thought in the future as a multi part the democracy looks to be in fed, in the the biggest the claim you out in history, the biggest democracy off its own epic showdown join me. screen of awesome jan on a new ballpark cd, focusing on india. in this episode, i go on my own experience as a journalist, you examine alarming drop of the freedoms in india and the future of india and back to an independent media. being the other for foxley on those is either

the latest news as it breaks demonstrators. law ser remaining is really captive brought back from gaza and they want the broad back now with detailed coverage posting and say that what areas did here in his final words, free power stuff made them feel sense. and for that, he was saying before going from the home to the story, at least knowing thousands selected in families are missing at least one loved one . at the table, the or on counseling the cost, the world's population is shrinking rapidly. how will that affect the global economy regulators on both sides of the atlantic it cracking down? take monopolies, plus the june the gas and take your offices narrowing. but we will be want doubts counting the cost on the l just here. what happens in new york has implications all around the world to make these stories resonate requires talking to everyday people from mayor of the city. and i was doing away with the 1st year that was supposed to

get everybody off the street. it's international perspective with the human touch mean way in and then pulling back out again. the is around the tax 11 on and sylvia has been like a mazda and a 65371 of the dead. the alarm elizabeth put on them and this is ellen, just a live from. don't ha, also coming up strikes on garza to at least 22 palestinians, a code and as well as the latest attack on the city of con eunice. also ahead more than a 130 school children kidnapped in nigeria, a really nice.
