More than two million Indians are HIV positive. Many conceal their illness because of the stigma. Doctor and microbiologist Suniti Solomon was a pioneer in India in the field of HIV and AIDs. She diagnosed the first AIDs cases on the subcontinent among prostitutes in Chennai. But she also made a name for herself because of her matchmaking. She gave new hope to patients who had become isolated because of the social stigma attached to the disease, bringing together countless couples, such as Karthik and Manu. With the doctor’s help, they found each other, a new life, and a new outlook on living with HIV. Suniti Solomon died in 2015. 02:00 DW News - News 02:02 The Day - News in Review 02:30 Kick off! - The Bundesliga Highlights 03:00 DW News - News 03:15 Business - News 03:30 Close up - The Current Affairs Documentary 04:00 DW News - News 04:02 The Day - News in Review 04:30 Eco India - The Environment Magazine 05:00 DW News - News 05:15 DocFilm Lovesick - The Marriage Market for Indian HIV Patients 06:00 DW News - News 06:30 Business - News 06:45 Arts and Culture - News 07:00 DW News - News 07:30 Kick off! - The Bundesliga Highlights 08:00 DW News - News DW English | TUE 2020-12-01 3/97 08:30 Close up - The Current Affairs Documentary 09:00 DW News - News 09:15 DocFilm The Atom and Us 10:00 DW News - News 10:30 Business - News 10:45 Arts and Culture - News 11:00 DW News - News 11:30 Kick off! - The Bundesliga Highlights 12:00 DW News - News 12:30 Close up - The Current Affairs Documentary 13:00 DW News - News 13:30 DW News - Asia 13:45 Business - Asia 14:00 DW News - News 14:30 DW News - Asia 14:45 Business - Asia 15:00 DW News - News 15:30 Kick off! - The Bundesliga Highlights 16:00 DW News - News 16:30 DW News - Asia 16:45 Business - Asia 17:00 DW News - News 17:15 Business - Africa 17:30 DW News - Africa 17:45 Arts and Culture - News 18:00 DW News - News 18:15 Business - Africa 18:30 DW News - Africa 18:45 Arts and Culture - News DW English | TUE 2020-12-01 4/97 19:00 DW News - News 19:30 Kick off! - The Bundesliga Highlights 20:00 DW News - News 20:30 The Day - News in Review 21:00 DW News - News 21:15 Business - News 21:30 DW News - Africa 21:45 Arts and Culture - News 22:00 DW News - News 22:02 The Day - News in Review 22:30 Global 3000 - The Globalization Program 23:00 DW News - News 23:15 DW News - Africa 23:30 Business - News 23:45 Arts and Culture - News DW English | WED 2020-12-02 5/97 WED 2020-12-02 00:00 DW News - News 00:02 The Day - News in Review 00:30 Made in Germany - Your Business Magazine 01:00 DW News - News 01:15 DocFilm Pablo Escobar’s Successors - Cocaine in Colombia Colombia's cocaine production dropped after Pablo Escobar's death. But today, it is soaring again. The South American country has once again become the world's leading producer of the drug. This documentary follows the trails of the cocaine cartels. Pablo Escobar was probably the most powerful, dangerous and unscrupulous drug lord who ever lived. His assassination by the police in 1993 was preceded by fights between rival drug gangs. In the years following his death, new leaders took control, and today cocaine trade in Colombia is once again a booming business. Spanish journalist David Beriain accompanies the Colombian armed forces in Operation Agamemnon, which aims to crush the most influential drug cartel in Colombia. Beriain also visits a cocaine laboratory and gains fascinating insight into the drug's production process. 02:00 DW News - News 02:02 The Day - News in Review 02:30 Global 3000 - The Globalization Program 03:00 DW News - News 03:15 Business - News 03:30 Eco Africa - The Environment Magazine 04:00 DW News - News 04:02 The Day - News in Review 04:30 Made in Germany - Your Business Magazine 05:00 DW News - News 05:15 DocFilm Pablo Escobar’s Successors - Cocaine in Colombia 06:00 DW News - News 06:30 Business - News 06:45 Arts and Culture - News 07:00 DW News - News 07:30 Close up - The Current Affairs Documentary DW English | WED 2020-12-02 6/97 08:00 DW News - News 08:30 Eco India - The Environment Magazine 09:00 DW News - News 09:15 DocFilm Lovesick - The Marriage Market for Indian HIV Patients 10:00 DW News - News 10:30 Business - News 10:45 Arts and Culture - News 11:00 DW News - News 11:30 Made in Germany - Your Business Magazine 12:00 DW News - News 12:30 Eco Africa - The Environment Magazine 13:00 DW News - News 13:30 DW News - Asia 13:45 Business - Asia 14:00 DW News - News 14:30 DW News - Asia 14:45 Business - Asia 15:00 DW News - News 15:30 Made in Germany - Your Business Magazine 16:00 DW News - News 16:30 DW News - Asia 16:45 Business - Asia 17:00 DW News - News 17:15 Business - Africa 17:30 DW News - Africa 17:45 Arts and Culture - News 18:00 DW News - News 18:15 Business - Africa 18:30 DW News - Africa DW English | WED 2020-12-02 7/97 18:45 Arts and Culture - News 19:00 DW News - News 19:30 Conflict Zone - Confronting the Powerful 20:00 DW News - News 20:30 The Day - News in Review 21:00 DW News - News 21:15 Business - News 21:30 DW News - Africa 21:45 Arts and Culture - News 22:00 DW News - News 22:02 The Day - News in Review 22:30 Focus on Europe - Spotlight on People 23:00 DW News - News 23:15 DW News - Africa 23:30 Business - News 23:45 Arts and Culture - News DW English | THU 2020-12-03 8/97 THU 2020-12-03 00:00 DW News - News 00:02 The Day - News in Review 00:30 Conflict Zone - Confronting the Powerful 01:00 DW News - News 01:15 DocFilm Embargo - Iran and the US Sanctions For more than 40 years international embargoes have shaped life in Iran. The 2015 nuclear deal gave rise to hope about opening up the country’s economy. But this was short-lived. The Trump administration quickly launched a wave of fresh sanctions. Today, relationships between Tehran and Washington continue to deteriorate and the Iranian economy is suffering under the weight of US sanctions. Iran is threatening the stability of the Middle East. But with record inflation, falling standards of living and limited medical supplies, are the Iranian people the ones paying the highest price for the embargo? The extent of the sanctions has varied according to the political and military tensions between the US and Iran. The signing of the nuclear deal in 2015 and the international community’s promise to relax sanctions gave hope to the Iranian people. The country would finally be open to foreign investment. But two years later, those hopes were dashed. The US introduced even stricter sanctions, with an incalculable geopolitical fallout. Europe, China and Russia say they want to preserve the nuclear deal, but foreign companies are turning their backs on Iran for fear of American reprisals. This documentary looks behind the scenes of this shadow war. It questions the political effectiveness of these sanctions and reveals the impact they are having on diplomacy, trade and everyday life. 02:00 DW News - News 02:02 The Day - News in Review 02:30 Made in Germany - Your Business Magazine 03:00 DW News - News 03:15 Business - News 03:30 Conflict Zone - Confronting the Powerful 04:00 DW News - News 04:02 The Day - News in Review 04:30 Focus on Europe - Spotlight on People 05:00 DW News - News 05:15 DocFilm Embargo - Iran and the US Sanctions 06:00 DW News - News DW English | THU 2020-12-03 9/97 06:30 Business - News 06:45 Arts and Culture - News 07:00 DW News - News 07:30 Focus on Europe - Spotlight on People 08:00 DW News - News 08:30 Conflict Zone - Confronting the Powerful 09:00 DW News - News 09:15 DocFilm Pablo Escobar’s Successors - Cocaine in Colombia 10:00 DW News - News 10:30 Business - News 10:45 Arts and Culture - News 11:00 DW News - News 11:30 Focus on Europe - Spotlight on People 12:00 DW News - News 12:30 Conflict Zone - Confronting the Powerful 13:00 DW News - News 13:30 DW News - Asia 13:45 Business - Asia 14:00 DW News - News 14:30 DW News - Asia 14:45 Business - Asia 15:00 DW News - News 15:30 Focus on Europe - Spotlight on People 16:00 DW News - News 16:30 DW News - Asia 16:45 Business - Asia 17:00 DW News - News 17:15 Business - Africa 17:30 DW News - Africa DW English | THU 2020-12-03 10/97 17:45 Arts and Culture - News 18:00 DW News - News 18:15 Business - Africa 18:30 DW News - Africa 18:45 Arts and Culture - News 19:00 DW News - News 19:30 To the Point - International Debate from Berlin 20:00 DW News - News 20:30 The Day - News in Review 21:00 DW News - News 21:15 Business - News 21:30 DW News - Africa 21:45 Arts and Culture - News 22:00 DW News - News 22:02 The Day - News in Review 22:30 Conflict Zone - Confronting the Powerful 23:00 DW News - News 23:15 DW News - Africa 23:30 Business - News 23:45 Arts and Culture - News DW English | FRI 2020-12-04 11/97 FRI 2020-12-04 00:00 DW News - News 00:02 The Day - News in Review 00:30 To the Point - International Debate from Berlin 01:00 DW News - News 01:15 DocFilm Oil Promises - Ghana’s Dreams of Black Gold - Part 1 When oil was discovered in Ghana in 2007, the country began to dream big.

  • Confession, Redemption, and Death: Liu Xiaobo and the Protest Movement of 1989
    Confession, Redemption, and Death: Liu Xiaobo and the Protest Movement of 1989 Geremie Barmé1 There should be room for my extremism; I certainly don’t demand of others that they be like me... I’m pessimistic about mankind in general, but my pessimism does not allow for escape. Even though I might be faced with nothing but a series of tragedies, I will still struggle, still show my opposition. This is why I like Nietzsche and dislike Schopenhauer. Liu Xiaobo, November 19882 I FROM 1988 to early 1989, it was a common sentiment in Beijing that China was in crisis. Economic reform was faltering due to the lack of a coherent program of change or a unified approach to reforms among Chinese leaders and ambitious plans to free prices resulted in widespread panic over inflation; the question of political succession to Deng Xiaoping had taken alarming precedence once more as it became clear that Zhao Ziyang was under attack; nepotism was rife within the Party and corporate economy; egregious corruption and inflation added to dissatisfaction with educational policies and the feeling of hopelessness among intellectuals and university students who had profited little from the reforms; and the general state of cultural malaise and social ills combined to create a sense of impending doom. On top of this, the government seemed unwilling or incapable of attempting to find any new solutions to these problems. It enlisted once more the aid of propaganda, empty slogans, and rhetoric to stave off the mounting crisis. University students in Beijing appeared to be particularly heavy casualties of the general malaise.

  • China's Fear of Contagion
    China’s Fear of Contagion China’s Fear of M.E. Sarotte Contagion Tiananmen Square and the Power of the European Example For the leaders of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), erasing the memory of the June 4, 1989, Tiananmen Square massacre remains a full-time job. The party aggressively monitors and restricts media and internet commentary about the event. As Sinologist Jean-Philippe Béja has put it, during the last two decades it has not been possible “even so much as to mention the conjoined Chinese characters for 6 and 4” in web searches, so dissident postings refer instead to the imagi- nary date of May 35.1 Party censors make it “inconceivable for scholars to ac- cess Chinese archival sources” on Tiananmen, according to historian Chen Jian, and do not permit schoolchildren to study the topic; 1989 remains a “‘for- bidden zone’ in the press, scholarship, and classroom teaching.”2 The party still detains some of those who took part in the protest and does not allow oth- ers to leave the country.3 And every June 4, the CCP seeks to prevent any form of remembrance with detentions and a show of force by the pervasive Chinese security apparatus. The result, according to expert Perry Link, is that in to- M.E.

The effect of domestic politics on foreign policy decision making https://www.e-ir.info/2011/02/07/the-effect-of-domestic-politics-on-foreign-policy-decision-making/ ZAARA ZAIN HUSSAIN, FEB 7 2011 Foreign Policy includes all interactions of individual nation – states with other states. In the wake of globalization, in the 21st century it is particularly important, owing to the interdependence of states. With the advent of international society and globalization implications of foreign policy for each nation-state are far greater. The study of Foreign Policy therefore has become ever more critical and important. The study of Foreign Policy is not limited to any particular school of social science but is a relevant subject for all. In International Relations this study is particularly important as foreign policies form the base for international interactions between individual states. In the 21st century, decisions by one state affect more than just the participating countries. Scholars as well as well policy analysts and even the general public, have a greater desire to understand foreign policy decisions and what motivates the head of government in his foreign policy decision making. Scholarly research on leadership and foreign policy decision making show a far more sophisticated and complex view of the issue than most of the simplistic views seen in the popular press.

  • Liu Xiaobo Deserved the Nobel Prize
    By: David Kilgour Opinion January 4, 2011 Liu Xiaobo deserved the Nobel Prize A recent Citizen opinion piece by Ramesh Thakur ( "The Peace Prize is for peace," Dec. 23) wades reasonably through a number of issues, but ends by deferring to Beijing, suggesting the party-state there is more deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize than is 2010 winner Liu Xiaobo, or any other Chinese national. Thakur's concluding words are revealing: "If the award of the Nobel Peace Prize is to be limited to promoting peace, demilitarization and disarmament, Liu was not a good choice. If a broader result is justified, then, on the scale of human misery and its alleviation in the grand sweep of history, instead of being the object of censure, is not the government of China a more worthy recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize than any individual Chinese?" Indeed, by the criteria of promoting world peace, China would never be eligible for any prizes. Its arms sales in recent years to, and support for, violent oppressive regimes are well-known. It has sold battle tanks, fighter jets and missiles to the Burmese junta; it was the largest foreign supplier of small arms to the Bashir regime in Sudan in 2008; since 2000, it has sold armoured personnel carriers, aircraft and small arms to Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe. When the UN Security Council wants to censure conduct, China often uses its veto to shield transgressors, particularly regimes to which it has sold arms or from which it is purchasing natural resources. In terms of peace within China, many have suffered or perished since 1949, most notably during Mao Tsetung's "Great Leap Forward" (1958-'62), which caused 35-45 million persons to starve to death.

  • Nobel Peace Speech
    Nobel peace speech Associate Professor Joshua FRYE Humboldt State University USA [email protected] Macy SUCHAN Humboldt State University USA [email protected] Abstract: The Nobel Peace Prize has long been considered the premier peace prize in the world. According to Geir Lundestad, Secretary of the Nobel Committee, of the 300 some peace prizes awarded worldwide, “none is in any way as well known and as highly respected as the Nobel Peace Prize” (Lundestad, 2001). Nobel peace speech is a unique and significant international site of public discourse committed to articulating the universal grammar of peace. Spanning over 100 years of sociopoliti- cal history on the world stage, Nobel Peace Laureates richly represent an important cross-section of domestic and international issues increasingly germane to many publics. Communication scholars’ interest in this rhetorical genre has increased in the past decade. Yet, the norm has been to analyze a single speech artifact from a prestigious or controversial winner rather than examine the collection of speeches for generic commonalities of import. In this essay, we analyze the discourse of No- bel peace speech inductively and argue that the organizing principle of the Nobel peace speech genre is the repetitive form of normative liberal principles and values that function as rhetorical topoi. These topoi include freedom and justice and appeal to the inviolable, inborn right of human beings to exercise certain political and civil liberties and the expectation of equality of protection from totalitarian and tyrannical abuses. The significance of this essay to contemporary communication theory is to expand our theoretical understanding of rhetoric’s role in the maintenance and de- velopment of an international and cross-cultural vocabulary for the grammar of peace.

INTRODUCTION During late spring and early summer, namely, from mid-April to early June of 1989, a tiny handful of people exploited student unrest to launch a planned, organized and premeditated political turmoil, which later developed into a counterrevolutionary rebel- lion in Beijing, the capital. Their purpose was to overthrow the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and subvert the so- cialist People's Republic of China.... In order to achieve thorough victory, we should mobilize the people completely, strengthen the people's democratic dictator- ship and spare no effort to ferret out the counterrevolutionary rioters. We should uncover instigators and rebellious conspira- tors, punish the organizers and schemers of the unrest and the counterrevolutionary rebellion ...and focus the crackdown on a handful of principal culprits and diehards who refuse to repent.' (Chen Xitong, Mayor of Beijing, on June 30, 1989.) In late 1990, the Chinese government brought formal charges against several dozen of the most prominent leaders of the May- June 1989 Tiananmen Square pro-democracy movement. Trials held in the first two months of 1991 have resulted in sentences rang- ing from two to thirteen years for students and intellectuals.

  • Counter-Revolutionary" Offences
    EXTERNAL (for general distribution) AI Index: ASA 17/74/90 Distr: SC/CO/GR ------------------------- Amnesty International International Secretariat 1 Easton Street London WC1X 8DJ United Kingdom December 1990 CHINA--A NEW STAGE IN THE REPRESSION: PROMINENT POLITICAL DETAINEES FACE TRIAL FOR "COUNTER-REVOLUTIONARY" OFFENCES Several prominent political detainees were charged in November with "counter-revolutionary" offences after being held without charge for over a year. They are among several dozen political detainees who are expected to be tried soon in Beijing for their role in the 1989 pro-democracy movement. They may face heavy prison sentences after unfair trials behind closed doors. The relatives of some of the prisoners were officially notified of the charges and expect them to go on trial soon. One of the detainees' wife, who made an unprecedented public appeal for her husband's release a few months ago, has expressed her helplessness in these terms: "I feel tiny and weak, as insignificant as a droplet of water in the sea. When I call on behalf of my husband, I hear not a sound in response." Amnesty International believes the prisoners are arbitrarily detained for the peaceful exercise of fundamental human rights and that they are unlikely to receive fair and open trials, in accordance with international standards. The organisation has called on the government to make public the identities of all people now facing trial in relation to the protests, full details of the charges against them, and the dates and places of the hearings. It has also urged the government to ensure that the trials are open to the public and conducted in accordance with international standards for fair trial, and to allow international observers to the trials.
