as will tell you that the alberta emergency is a gift to the liberals really depends on the level to which just intrude, open exploit it politically. and then it depends on the extent to which in the face, the political advantage grabbing or exploitation. i'm going to take this and i'm going to run with it. it changes voters mine with the 2 major parties deadlocked, and the polls showing voter apathy as well as anger, whomever, forms government is going to need to lead a nation starved for a pre pandemic. normal, jody van al jazeera, montreal. ah, this is al jazeera, the rudolph dories. the u. s. has begun repatriation flights with thousands of migrants mostly from havi, but across so over from mexico. and i've been camped out at a board of town and texas already have been trying to stop the flow of people

crossing the rio grande river in both western africa traditionally cross sector because they have no individual previously the project, a serious they say the community across the board is relatively safe. so traditionally because of the word of mouth, certainly what happened, this guy is that number doubled and tripled relatively quickly. and so we were have resources here quickly if we could manage that. and we're getting to that point where we got a pretty good handle on the microphone bridge. bo county was on the way in russia after 3 days of parliamentary elections exit polls. but the pro proven united russia party on cost when they all fish and says they have been voting irregularities. most criminal critics were barred from running around a 1000 people being evacuated from their homes after a volcanic eruption on the spanish canary islands. it follows

we debated whether the country's democracy is under threat after the broadcast ended. assured this authoritarian checklist with our guest. some of the indicators of authoritarianism include muslim the media, eliminating political rivals, expanding domestic surveillance and keeping the country in a perpetual state of war a revolution. and i wanted to know how many of these does el salvador check off. but my guess paul steiner took issue with the list itself. here's what he had to say. but whose recipe is this is from something it's a post more to i can actually pull up the science called post war to germany, but it's been accepted as a kind of a general checklist for authoritarian build record unity elements. you have set a set of rules like that and assume that everybody starts from when you're through or not checked most of the points. is it true or not? i had to go most or you can say yes or no

check. most of these points and he does write, he does the starting point better than anybody else. that's his lawyer. no, i mean having worked for both the right wing lawyer and left wing government, you more than anybody should be able to know that the judiciary is a real or i personally not fixed on the judges. when i just, when i wake up all finished and then i'll give you to mike. okay, paul. say your bet. and then we're going to go to jose. we were 650 judges that have failed. the judiciary exam, at least once, and 10 percent of them have failed, that every time they've taken it, we have a section in charge of supervising the judiciary and they don't, they've been shut down for years. even the section that's in charge of monitoring the lawyers has been shut down for years. and the whole thing about it is that the

magistrates of the supreme court have been elected by political parties to suit their financial providers. who are the people that they control. so nobody can argue that paul, let's see if what you just said is true. can anyone argue that jose would you argue with? well, i think paul is talking knowledge is that it is a government who, who is sacking the judges through the legislature of course. but i think this is an important recognition and acknowledgement that it is a government that is talking a 3rd of all of all judges about that they're failing this judiciary test that the judge, the judiciary has been a mess for years. and this is, this is an issue. we have several to several forms and also media outlets because we are very worried about judicial independence in particular because this law, which basically sacks any judge that is over 60 years of age or 30 years of service

or have 30 years of service has absolutely no rational related to that you don't want to be so either way, way, way we listen to, you know, there poll was trying to argue that this, this is all done in the benefit of cleaning up your large but, but you have to remember that this move is preceded 1st by the sacking of the constitutional court, you know, sort of other not only where they sac, but 5 person 5 people were imposed as acting as acting justice is to, to the constitutional court. this basically means that the government, kelly's government controls the head of the judiciary. second step is now the sacking of a 3rd, a whole judges with absolutely no linkage to corruption in terms of policy objectives. why? why do i say this?

because it only cuts clear in terms of age 9, terms of merit 19 terms of possible corruption allegations 9 terms of performance. no, it's just a clear cut in terms of let me take that back off. paul, are all these guys are failing? tests are those, the judges that are being removed or to just the judges that are over 60. ok, a is making a point about sacking the judges. what the, what the president has done is he has forced a space where he is established with the congress as established a law that says that when you reach 60 or 30 years of service, you come up for retirement. and that it's an obligatory retirement unless the court all 15 magistrates decide that you're valuable and you are going to stay. so they're not automatically sacked. the, the court has a complete way, those, the magistrates you said there were no, by the hardest, by the party that i,

i don't want to overstate this but, but pull it just said expressly word by word. the precedent has decided you see, so this is i'm thing for the present. yeah, no, i understand. i understand it. i'm not even, i'm not in a court room here. i will say no, i understand. and so i didn't make them start in the conversation. so you correct? i understand, i understand, but do you like you know, to acknowledge that this is a, this isn't coming from the president himself. let me ask you 2 questions to answer that 1. 1 my question answered 1st. i have 3 questions before you ever answered. first of all, is there a mechanism for taking those judges out there? bad? yes, they are. there is work well known as being work. that's as no. it hasn't worked as well as it should. but yeah. what does temple office in

20 years doing mainly with the judicial support. the point is why the executive mingling the judiciary anyway, and you keep wanting the bad judges, but it doesn't seem like bad is one of the requirements for being removed from the bed just seems like age is a requirement. that's the only way to create a space for the supreme court to act and put the right people in the right place. look what we have here is a very loyal judges who will really change. and the majority of the population is behind the progressives who want change. the problem is that once you've lost political power and you're starting to lose economic power, then you've got very little to lose. i'm sure the dinosaurs also screen really, really loud when you're at game i'm actually going to give you the last word. they're all run out of time, john, you want to jump in just for a 2nd, and then we got to cut this. yeah, no,

it's just going to for them to very context we spoke to judge if there was most of the week we're salvador johnson, is it been corruption in the judiciary and all of them to get the has been corruption in the judiciary. what they were all dealing with is the way in which they would be taken out. those are going to be forcibly retard. now pool on the one hand here is saying, well, that's the only way to get the mechanisms to get them out. working on the other hand, they were saying there has to be some sort of protocol apart from age of ways. this is just completely branded. so i think, i don't know why the president, not establishing ways to get out the not just late with the fact i want to share with you now few moments our instagram live series. earlier this week i spoke with sarah sophie flicker, an artist activist, and organizer of the women's march. we spoke about the latest attack on women's reproductive rights in texas,

as well as the ways that art and storytelling play critical role and activism. i'm also inspired by artist and curious about what drives of creativity. so i asked sarah where she finds her muse. for me, it's always been really about like things that i want to change in the world or things that theme, patently unfair or, and horrible. and you know, i do feel like we often like we often discount culture and power. and i think a lot of times policy a downstream from culture and oh, you know, it's like the women's march for example is complicated and there are issues with it . and i did many issues, does anyone else? but when i found out that they were organizing around, you know, we have justice and abortion on october. second, i was in because i understand that like, you know, even with the supreme court,

we are now stuck with an activist, very biased majority in the supreme court. and if millions and millions and millions of people are out marching on october 2nd and saying like this is not going to apply with us. they hear that, you know, and that affects the decisions that they can and can't get away with or what they perceive. they can and can't get away with, you know, i, you know, i also think abortion especially, but, but really like anything you know, racial justice, any of it there is a, you know, the right has done a very good job of like sort of encapsulating it in the morality, the morality or family values or whatever. and, and i think that with stuff like this, like they don't get to own that stuff. you know what i mean? like we, i, i am the most family already. i imagine you are you,

we are the most family oriented people like so just creating art and creating content and creating tv shows, movies, music, sports, whatever, you know, whatever it is, radio stuff that normalizes. how we think about all this stuff is really powerful. you know, and while we may be getting this country, as we all know is divided has been divided historically. and now, you know, at this point we're getting 2 separate sets of news. even right. like the fact that one sided getting are totally different in the back. another cited getting but the thing that, and you can like turn off fox news or m. s. mbc or cnn, whatever. but people don't turn off the radio. they don't go to sports game. i'm so out of sports, sports games, i know that's not a thing, but you know, they go to the sports game much you know,

but they all the things that like we look at and hear and smell and touch and see everyday like that influences how we think about politics in each other and each other humanity. and i think it's really hard to have someone whose story, you know. so i'm just really a fan of like storytelling and using you know, art and theater and the after colds. you know, beckles to make statements, you know, similar to what you did on the red carpet on monday. which address tax the rich. yeah. your friend made that dress and my wife just yesterday. i'm shipping with i g live with the woman who made that dress for a meeting and brilliant and smart and like a beautiful fighter in all things good in that we care about. she's wonderful. but

i thought that was really powerful and i know that some people didn't like it, but i, you know, whatever, you go on to twitter and everyone's talking about and taxing the rich and people are googling. what does that mean? you know, what do they mean by rich? you know, it's not a national conversation. that, that's something that policy can't do. you know, so i do believe in cultural organizing, i do believe in like those kinds of direct actions. i believe in beauty, i believe in art. you know, the courses tagline is from poem by tory derek pot and, and it is joy is an active resistance. and i have always held that really close to my heart because the whole point of all this stuff is to keep us divided and in fear and out of community and too scared to stand up for ourselves. so, you know, no one is meant to bite all the time. you know,

there's gotta be joy in there. and if you look at any, you know, marginalized, we could have been fighting for their survival over generations like there has to be joining in there. so i think art is like critical in these moments. if you look at the history of abortion, it's so interesting that you know, a lot of, you know, push back on abortion originally came from people who owned in, you know, inflamed people and would get mad when a black woman cause herself to miscarry or whatever have an abortion actually because it was attached to like how profitable that baby was. so there's all sorts of like awful, awful, you know, when you get deep into it,

it's like all of the hoopla around abortion has as much to do with race and control and power and money as it does with women and gender. you know, so it's all, it's all of the things. is there a definitive book on abortion that gets into the history of it that you'd recommend? yeah. although there's not like one that i can like. i know, ms. hogan, who is the president in a role, wrote a really great one last year. there's a great article in today's new york times that really get the into the way in which the right wing are right wing goes over time from like the 70s to now really weaponized abortion as a way to like create you know,

right wing coalition and you know the origin story of all that really comes back to school segregation which i think most people don't know. so you know, it's why i really love like, look into reproductive or just reproductive justice organizations like sisters song that are all you know, black lead and tend to do a really amazing job of connecting all the dots between this stuff. so you see the ways in which like, what's happening in texas right now, isn't just about abortion. it's also what is the point, for example, having the right to choose to have or not have a child. if you can't ultimately like read that child without the threat of like state violence or poverty or rated them or you know,

draconian immigration laws, like whatever it is, it's like all these things are connected. and i think that the more quickly we all learn to, to see the ways in which all these things are connected. we can be in better community with each other. we can do better allies to each other. and, you know, and that being that, you know, it's slowly starting to happen, which, which i take heart in is, you know, that people are starting to realize like, let the people most impacted tell their stories. let them lead on the issues that people closer to the pain are always closes to the solution. and sometimes like, for those of us, you have a lot of privilege and resources. the best thing we can do is just like show up and listen. finally, another interview this week there was so good, we had to keep it going. it was not brazil and the amazon rain forest. rapid

deforestation has many concern that the ecosystem is at a tipping point with potentially catastrophic effects. not just for the indigenous groups there, but for the whole world because of climate change. after the broadcast, i ask are guess what kind of pressure? brazilian president air bus narrow responds to her pretty direct in their answers. impeachment and i don't. i don't think we having a president that actually have a project for the country. so he has a project to, to stay in, in the, in, in charge. and, and i think it, i mean, i'm sitting in the country with a president twice last administration. and it didn't make any difference. so i'm not sure. i'm sorry there. i think, i think very clearly to internet, internal economic interests. so the agribusiness is very heavy. it was very heavy

on funding his campaign. so i think you, in response to that kind of to that kind of pressure, he wants to put brazil back on the economic mac, a map of the world. and he knows that, that comes from producing more exporting, more even if it, if it's at the cost of the amazon. well, i don't think, i don't think it's real. you know, i think this is news when he reacts to something. because actually we see him, he reacting ram, he's family, he's song are being investigated when he see a threat against his family. you know, and i think the only way is to get him out of the power is to do what the americans did. you know, not re electing the problem well, is it all on both scenario though? was it was lula any better has a has brazil you have been any better under other administrations?

i guess there is a difference between both tomorrow and any other governor, a president that took place in brazil, which is having a project of destroying this institution. he has a man to democratic plan, a strategy, you know. so you, you can disagree with lou with fin andre hickey with many other presidents brazil had. but all of them had a project, had a plan to, to develop the country to develop the economy and both so that we can see that in both on our he wants to this try what, what we are, what exists. and it's very clear if you look at a last year, we had a document about the work privilege from the internal auditing from the, from the only government and trying to assess the and the implementation

of the environment or policy and the own people from the government said, well, we cannot access the implementation of the environment or policy because there was no strategy for planning that was no planning at all in the environmental ministry . so there is a clear speech again, flores against english and people against yelling at some point saying that we need to change a low and everything. ringback but there is no thing to, to, to, for improvement or much less before. and just to give an example, he's ruling against the constitution in many ways in, in health and education and environment, and cultural policies in all the policies that you might may imagine. whereas the

supreme court understood yes, there are many processes going on but. 9 some brazilian papers have published, i guess international media has, has been following this for many years. the number of crimes against the constitution that we say crimes of responsibility in brazil. and there are no excuse for not showing him. so it's like alicia was saying the beginning of the show, it's a matter of political will. and what is his administration up for reelection both allows administration. yeah. what are they up for re election next year? 2022, next year, next year. and how is he doing in the polls there? know that not good enough. all right,

good. he's rejection levels are higher than ever. but he is he, he's doing policy distributing budget. but did that should go to, to health care, to education and to, to social assistance to, to parliament carries like he's keeping himself in power by doing the political movement that was able to sustain him for more than 30 years. and you're dealing with breaking news and this information there on this issue also. right? so i think it's important to, to also as stress that rose in democracy is very and you. so we have a touch of democracy. and it's important to understand that. but

because we are now in a very different situation in terms of social media and how the information is flowing and they can use being discriminated. and this is actually having an impact on the debate bank. i was just in a, in a cab today. and guy and just name to me that could be 19, doesn't exist in people, and the government get paid for that and it's in the month of russell it. so colon actually could be 19 isn't the way that diverse station is also an invasion. so that's why we need to, to, we do all the people that are talking about different stations. we all always need to have very strong data. and we always need to,

to be very sure of the information that we we had a meeting in the 5 in that kind of losing the narrative with those 25 percent as above also now. well, that's our show for today. thanks for watching and we'll see you next time. ah ah ah ah ah, russell bid in southern england where 2 farmers turn safari pot pie and is a bit attracted to nature in the driving seat. i was just absolutely astonishing the life of poor back even the very 1st month and i miguel sophie santiago when one

by your company, revolutionizing the system. you think plans and artificial intelligence here in flight. you have you have the birth rise on al jazeera. i was going to have on washing and asia and africa, there'd be days where i'd be choosing and editing myron stories and a refugee camp with no electricity. and right now where confronting some of the greatest challenges that humanity has ever faced. and i really believe that the only way we can do that is with compassion and generosity and compromise. because up the only way we can try to solve any of these problems is together, that wells is so important. we make those connections the world's lungs being seized. the amazon rain forest is diminishing it. a rate of 2 football pitcher a minute to meet the market insatiable appetite for logging mining. i'm farming. as

both scenarios, government seek to relax conservation laws and increase production. indigenous communities on the brink of extinction know in the fight at their live. people empower brazil's amazonian battle on al jazeera ah, determined to keep thousands of migrants out the us again sign back to haiti and blocks the mexican border with texas. ah, hi there can vanelle, this is on the line from someone rushes, rolling policy looked fit when the elementary election, the opposition accuses the government of voting, regularity, volcano and things at atlantic ocean on end of the palm of iraq for the 1st.
