survivors say what happened during military rule should be condemned and not celebrated. its report. has never hidden his admiration for the military that he served in as a young army captain before entering politics while still a congressman he said it's mistake while in power from one thousand nine hundred forty nine hundred eighty five was not to kill more he since moderated his language it's not about celebrating remembering or looking back to see what went wrong or right it's about how we can use this for the good of brazil in the future. however some of his supporters have been more direct wash with. i think it's fantastic i think brazil has to celebrate march thirty first it's a day when brazil almost became a communist country we could have become a venezuela or north korea this museum in the only place in brazil dedicated to victims of the military government that building

a form of peace headquarters where opponents of the regime like detained always thought the sickest home this place preserves memories through the testimonies of survivors and a collection of documents that all combined with the importance of this building all together they helped to recreate a period of our history. was twenty one years old when he was detained in one nine hundred seventy and spent four years in prison. and there was this uproar created by the president has reopened the debate we have two opposing forces one is the force of resistance those who resist during those days but also researchers and historians that understand history on the other hand we have. retrograde forces who want to celebrate a past that in fact should be abhorred previous commemorations were ended by former president jimmy rousseff these governments in two thousand and thirteen ordered a truth commission into abuses carried out during military rule she has self as a one time marxist rebel was imprisoned and tortured brazil never prosecuted

members of its military who enjoyed an amnesty implemented before they left office that's a marked contrast to neighboring countries such as argentina where last sunday hundreds of thousands took to the streets on the anniversary of the one nine hundred seventy six military coup to cry never again. he will lead individual commanders to carry out what he called appropriate commemorations to mark sunday's anniversary of the debate still rages in brazil of whether to celebrate or to condemn its military past. al-jazeera. let's take this on we can speak to who's director of the brazil institute at the woodrow wilson center joining us from washington d.c. mr terry welcome to the program when both. this is a question of how we can use this commemoration for the good for the future good of brazil what does it mean. i don't know

this is not something that interests in brazil even the military the military didn't ask to be celebrated this is settled there are those who suffered on the day to ship violations of human rights but this has is a historic episode for brazilians are not even born when this happened in one nine hundred sixty four. thirty three years of the military with the back to berets have behaved exit exemplar really since then and are continue to contribute to peace in brazil actually they have now a presence in the current government of israel both from model and they have been a pretty rational a force for moderation and as i mentioned they did not request this type of

celebration this is a matter of routine and i think it's much ado about not much right. degree by the syrian military figures within the government so what is what is up to why does he want to do this. because he cannot focus on the issues that need to be focus area difficult ones he has to move to cut through congress a very difficult reform of the social security system in brazil this is priority number one and the president has already picked unnecessary fights with the speaker of the house he has big fights with the other members of the congress in brazil that are fundamental to the passage of this without this legislation being approved and implemented in about two years the social security

system in brazil will fail and this the consequences of this event will be massive for thirty five million retired people in brazil so instead of focusing on what is really important at hand in have to be resolved the president seems to be interested in creating artificial events and trying to get the attention of the people to them through social media yes but people are really not interested in those issues right where the president would argue of course that he would say that it's not a lot of fish event it is a commemoration of a of a natural event that. saved the country from. and also inaugurated the period of a made it very dictatorship in brazil that has been lama lies has been on band and

has been settled as your introductory piece said there was indeed an amnesty for to both sides which was the condition for the military to retire to the barracks and to allow space for a democracy to reassert itself in brazil does this what happened in brazil in the past three decades and so. democracy brazil prosperity and brazil will be the story if the government focus on the issues that needed to be resolved and they are economic and social issues the celebrations of history there will be always room for both sides or all sides to. manifest their opinions but they are really not of much interest to most brazilians today very interesting to get your

perspective this is very preachy that very much post a terrorist speaking to us from washington d.c. . now the two main border crossings into gauze open for the first time in six days israel lifted restrictions on sunday morning after a weekend of mass protests along the fence dividing duns and israel for palestinian protesters were killed two hundred forty others injured during the demonstrations have a gem june has more now from gaza. more indications that egypt mediated talks between hamas other palestinian factions and israel are on a positive track first came word on sunday that the government was salim and areas crossings had been reopened then came word that the fishermen in gaza will once again be able to resume fishing the fisherman's union tells us that they've been notified by israeli officials that north of the gaza strip they will be able to go six not

a cool miles off the coast that in gaza city they will be able to go twelve nautical miles off the coast and that in south of the gaza strip they will be able to go fifteen not a call miles off the coast of gaza now all this happening at a time where there has been cautious optimism building in gaza because of efforts to try to deescalate the tensions that had really gone much higher in the past week now one of the reasons the tensions have been deescalate it is because on saturday which was the first year anniversary of the great march of return protests things remained far quieter far calmer than many feared they might be in fact it was extremely remarkable that there was actually a statement by the israeli army spokesman praising hamas for showing restraint for trying to calm the situation down at those protests on saturday now on sunday even though people in gaza have expressed a sense of optimism and they believe that these negotiations will actually be

successful at one point there were two rockets that were launched toward israel they did not land however in israel they landed in the gaza strip no injuries or casualties were reported at the moment folks in gaza hopeful that they will be able to see that these negotiations have been successful this all coming at a time when just days ago many here were convinced that gaza might be on the verge of all out war once again within israel right now though as i mentioned a sense of cautious optimism building in gaza signs indicating that these egyptian mediated talks are actually on a positive track. still ahead here al jazeera dreams on hold but life carries own we talk to that is stuck in mexico hoping to cross into the united states. that's the road building. the film the united states military doesn't want you to see made

hacking the phone of jeff bezos the owner of the online shopping giant and that washington is not in the washington post and bezos hired private investigators author his phone messages were leaked to the national enquirer a tabloid newspaper his investigators have linked to the hack to the washington post's extensive coverage of the murder of saudi journalist america so gee saudi ministers have previously denied any link to the national enquirer leak but we speights and i had al baghdadi a human rights activists and one of the sources for the bezos investigation team he explains there are many layers to this story. it is directly. linked to what happened was she as you can imagine jeff bezos is a man who owns the washington post but he's also a man who is a businessman who is doing a lot of business insider been planning to do even more but so it's also the angle of the saudis being not very disciplined about their use edge off of this kind of

technology which is actually threatening it's not only threatening to you know it's basically really effectively it could start a cyber war where we're you know even companies and if this is legal then it is a big problem but also it's a problem i should mention for the technology companies that actually provide these kind of services such as n.s.o. and others and you might notice that for about a week now before i head off gavin de becker article in the daily beast in which he exposed this there had been there has been a number of reports which i can only explain in fact on a can only describe as p r it's like there are actually anticipating though they're probably they're anticipating something like this and they want to to kind of say that you know we're not that insidious company that that cooperates with with dictators but we're also saving lives somehow of course you know whether you

believe them or not is another question when it is not the first time that saudi arabia has been accused of this kind of thing sarkar explained. sergeant seems to have adopted a cyber campaign to silence those disagreeing with the kingdom both at home and abroad on the abdulaziz as one of them he's in exile in canada and was a friend of murder a journalist. last june he received a suspicious text message with a link to track apostles' delivery a canadian research group citizen lab says that it's confident the armors mobile phone was targeted by saudi arabia and infected with spyware and other surveillance tool is known as pegasus it's owned by an israeli company called the n.s.o. group and there have been multiple reports on how it's been used in several countries to target civil society in august amnesty international report of the saudi this isn't and one of its star for attacks who pegasus both receiving messages with malicious links from the same domain that links back to and i so at

the time the company responded to this these findings and patella statement they said the m.s.o. group develops cyber technology to allow government agencies to identify and disrupt terrorist and criminal props they also added our products is intended to be used exclusively for the investigation and prevention of crime and terrorism if an allegation arises concerning a violation we investigate that issue and take appropriate action based on those findings then i so great has been accused of being an accessory to the murder of jamal but it's in the eyes of any involvement israeli media reported that sound eurabia paid fifty five million dollars for the pegasus surveillance tool a system so advanced it classified it as a weapon and requires government approval to sell it there are so group has already been sued by these and i'm the state has requested israel revoke its export license for human rights violations and that's not all because sounds eurabia has also been using twitter says the software that interacts with other twitter accounts and can

spread whatever message you want it to hundreds or thousands of them flood twitter to boost converse. ation or even a hash tag until it takes off on its own in this way you can create a fake trend that is use this tool against its neighbor cats are creating fake news and when she was murdered sounded what's armies got to work to and then last month at least four verified twitter accounts including one belonging to a dead u.s. weather experts were a new says fred pro sounds easy messages so if you take a look at this i just want to show you because this is what's trending in saudi arabia at the moment and if you look at the top hash tag it translates as to mean runs away from the tunisian summit of course that's in reference to the arab summit but this is just an example of the sort of hashtags that come out of saudi arabia that's a fake. pope francis has criticized the u.s. president saying leaders who want walls to keep migrants out will end up becoming prisoners of the walls they build the pontiff made the comments to reporters while

he was returning from a two day trip to morocco he held mass for ten thousand worshippers in a sports complex and right back to base the first leader of the catholic church to visit since pope john paul the second in one thousand nine hundred eighty five. japan is set to reveal the name of its next era as a new emperor gets ready to ascend the throne this is a scene in tokyo the chief secretary as shortly judy come out to make the announcement it is a very big deal in japan and will be used tomorrow years alongside the gregorian calendar the name is chosen by the prime minister and his cabinet has great symbolic importance and reflecting aspirations for the years ahead and current him his reign is the era which began in one thousand eight hundred nine in the name means achieving peace a clear separation from the previous year and that included world war two he said to step down later this month the previous rain was showing or enlightened harmony

and that was chosen as a time of rising japanese power and influence on the global stage crown prince no hito will take the throne on may the first which will mark the beginning of the new era well it's all very interesting let's speak to michael pena who's president of the shouldn't pursue news agency and joins us live from tokyo via skype michael welcome to the show now this system began way back in the year six forty five so it's pretty well into the fabric of japan isn't. oh that's absolutely right i mean this is one of the deep parts of japanese culture which has endured as you said for something like fourteen hundred years you know many japanese even today very much you know mark their lives and marked their past in the past their families using these imperial era names so when you when you've signed official documents you have to use them in japan so it's very much

a living part of the culture it's still very much and if you buy the culture today of everybody uses it that's right i mean and that includes even foreign residents like myself you have to memorize you know not only that your your in your save birthday and other information in the western calendar you have to know what it is and in the imperial calendar as well so it's you know it's something which is as i say on almost in many official documents and it's used in daily life and it sort of like second nature to use it so this is only the second time that there's been a new imperial name being announced in the post in the post world war two era so it's quite rare to have a day like this yeah fascinating how how it is here actually decided i understand the prime minister and his cabinet get together and talk about about how do they thrash it out how long has it taken and what's the process. there were there was an

x. committee of experts who considered many possibilities and they eventually as i understand it narrowed it down to three these three were essentially passed on to the government and the government has a cabinet and the prime minister chose among those three which one will be the one which they're about to they're about to announce. momentarily right when they must be rumors any ideas of what it might be. oh rumors are no this is one of the things i mean this is taken like it's the deepest national secret in japan if there were if there were actually leaked information it would be a scandal of gargantuan proportions in japan her well it would be very ancient see what it is when it happens and it's going to happen imminently said will in a thanks very much in a michael penn thank you. now the u.s. president has ordered reductions in direct aid to three central american countries

saying they're doing enough to stop illegal immigration critics say the cuts to el salvador guatemala and honduras are entirely counterproductive and will only increase the flow of migrants towards the united states trying to create accuses the countries of having deliberately set up migrant caravans ms threaten to close the border with mexico. with some central americans who made it as far as mexico scraping together living on shore if they'll make it to the united states. reports now from tijuana. at a boarding house and the one in mexico twenty nine year old son p one two and is starting his day he pays about twenty dollars a week for this modest space but it beats staying at one of the several migrant shelters scattered around town. arrived at the us mexico border with the migrant caravan that left honduras four months ago. today santiago who works as a dishwasher at a popular seafood restaurant near downtown the one. i'm established now i have

a job where i'm happy the truth is i'm glad to be working and things have been going well for me. sentido says he has no intention of returning to honduras and plans to stay in mexico at least for the time being it but not all central american migrants have the same luck in finding work or a place to live in the city after more than a year in mexico and indeed it is also from honduras says she's no longer trying to cross into the united states. we followed her and her daughter julie around a neighborhood in where they're looking for a place to live she's asked us to hide her face out of fear of the same criminal group that drove them from their home might recognize her she had no book i've not got that. i want to be stable and i don't want to keep stay in the shelters here and there even if it's just so our. on my own with my daughter into tells us she's had a hard time settling into life in mexico so we. might see a lot of this

a local social worker says that people from central america like ingrid and her daughter face many challenges like discrimination for renters. and i i was even talking right now with. her and she was saying if it's really being hard for us here and why nine if we don't find a house. we're going to feel the pressure to try and cross the border and maybe we will have more opportunities on the other side. after hours of searching still no luck finding an apartment for rent indeed and julie will have to keep looking another day it's difficult to know how many central american migrants have made the want to their permanent home but the city is still a place where many could find work and the type of stability they may not have had in their home countries even if that means barely scraping by. but even those who have found steady jobs like something i want to win is say their goal ultimately is

to someday be able to reach the united states and achieve the american dream. but ended up in. the one. movie seeing what the longest war in u.s. history looks like on the front line u.s. marines in afghanistan hope the documentary of battles against the taliban gives a more realistic view than hollywood scenes for me from new york. it's billed as the documentary the u.s. military did not want the public to see marines doing drugs making mistakes that's the road building. and potentially making new enemies while deployed in afghanistan you know the film combat obscura offers little in the way of commentary or big picture analysis but provides a rarely seen look at the more from the perspective of american troops on the ground i just haven't seen our war like reflected. as brutally honest

as as i had experienced it miles lugo's each shot the footage as a u.s. marine working in a public affairs unit and decided to turn it into a film after returning home to new york here he's found americans quick to praise the military. doing a great service for the country yet uninformed about the eighteen year long war on a killing not anyone's really thinking about it but honestly the gritty realism of the film is not in line with a more sanitized image of the military that most americans are used to seeing nor is it an image that the military wants to promote the marine corps has condemned the behavior on display telling al-jazeera it is not in line with their high standards while the marine corps and says that at least some of the footage is the property of the military but chose not to pursue legal action to halt its release after defenders of the u.s. constitution's first amendment got involved this is not.
