Gatherings in serbia with a sit in protest against the governments Coronavirus Response to Peaceful Demonstrations follows 2 days of violent clashes. Remembering the victims of this record its a genocide it 25 years later. I put the men who were taken away even little boys from the age of 8 even 90 year olds. Years from survivors of the massacre who will never forget the pain nor the brutality 8000 muslims killed the emissions honk those who lost their loved ones. Im sumi so much kind of thank you for joining us lawmakers in the philippines have rejected the renewal of a broadcast license for the countrys top broadcaster a. V. s c. D. N. The media group a voice 11000 people and has a. Audience of tens of millions of people activists called move a political vendetta by lawmakers on behalf of president bradley go to tara to win africas clashed with the president and will now be off the air indefinitely here is what an a. B. S. C. P. S. Worker had to say after the vote. In fact. If you can believe it or you cant believe that he was unprepared on the rover on the ground people whom i knew the market. Seems to have been warned. Years even before hes a very. Very good marker if you think right. Lets bring in correspondent ana santos in manila for more on the story hi ana good to see you why wasnt this license renewed well quite simply this was the president settling an old score you only have to look at president that there just passed speeches to see how he has consistently and on several occasions very clearly stated that he will block the renewal of the b. S. E. Be enfranchised under philippine law broadcasters and utilities are required legislative franchise which can be a only approved by congress now he has threatened many times to block this franchise because he accused the network of not airing political ads that he had paid for joining his campaign so he alleged that the network had swindled swindled him out of some money now this is really very indicative or very characteristic of president mubarak were being very vindictive so today call rest which is filled with detour to allies voted for the non renewal of the a. B. s franchise i know where does this leave the franchise and also taking a broader look here where does that leave journalism in the philippines. A. B. S. E band is the countrys largest broadcaster so it has the widest reach it its radio and t. V. Programmes that reach the most remote areas in the country so it is now cutting off millions of people from Vital Information at a time of a Global Pandemic like call that 19 it is also cut them off from free entertainment which is also vital during this time of quarantine and on the issue of you know Media Freedom in the philippines you also have to look at the past actions of the deterrent the government even as early as last month the president sorry journalist maria ressa was convicted of cyber libel and she could face up to 6 years in prison so looking at the track record of this administration they have consistently cracked down on independent media that has been critical of its policies most pacifically the coverage of the brutal drug war so again this is another move on the crackdown on freedom of the press and on Civil Liberties and can abs fight the suspicion. They have limited options right now one of them will be to file for a motion for reconsideration or to file for a brand new franchise altogether either option will take a lot of time and it will also be very bleak considering that again the you know image that franchises are approved by congress and congress is filled with the terrorist allies so its very bleak now for arabia c. B. S. They continue to broadcast on cable all network and also online but still this does not have the reach of t. V. And radio that is needed right now for information at the time of a pandemic its very uncertain but today the only thing that was certain is that we dont need to prepare for much of this is martial law 2020 under the detect administration well have to leave it there sometimes reporting from manila thank you. Theres been a 3rd night of protests in serbia against the governments handling of the coronavirus and i make thats despite an official ban on gatherings of more than 10 people the protest started earlier this week after the government proposed a 2nd lockdown due to a sharp spike in covert 1000 cases which some blame on the serbian president s decision to hold elections.

What he said meet our government is simply looking after its own interests the people are just collateral damage. Is that. Serbia went. Back 5 centuries under president bush. The thousands of people who gathered in belgrade and other serbian cities in defiance of the new ban made it abundantly clear that they have no intention of letting their voices be silenced. And we can speak now to journalist address the ferrie whos been following the protests it dont thank you for joining us tell us more about what happened in belgrade last night well the process here at the end of the story. Were very quiet and comparing to the 1st 2 nights where we could see a lot of weiland but last night people were calling the sit down and they were also. 2 other people who were trying to provoke that this is or there is provoke a sense and they dont want to have why learns during this night also there were almost no Police Officer send or end of the parliament and everything went quiet at the end even brought the stairs started cleaning the streets to send the message that they are not the island once but is the office so offices and the police. Curfew that was planned for this weekend in the capital has been called off that was what it sparked some anger originally is that likely to appease some of the protesters. Not really if they are going to have another process and we dont know how its going to go but in serbia there is a long history of brought this people have been brought this thing last 2 years against the precedent of serbia a list on the wall just wall saw appeal today from paris saying that they can drop this soon as they are peaceful but i dont think that they are going to respect the band dont get there and they are going to be in the streets again because the brought this anymore or not because of for a cause that night the room they want the precedent and the government to resign protestors theyre calling for change journalists address the ferry following the story thank you so much.
