more than the news or a purveyor of the state line, how can you show the destruction of a political war and still be a political unchecked? the media can distort narratives em reshape realities. the listening post keeps watch on al jazeera. once a month, social workers pay, michelle nie visited her. michelle is a single mother struggling to get by on a meager income in one of the world's most expensive cities. she can barely afford the basics for her and up to stick daughter. since the start of the coven 19 pandemic has been a big rise, and people seeking relief for charity work, as it's been particularly demanding. 28 percent of social workers quit that job in the last year. many of them left the city altogether. the district pandemic cuts and political uncertainty many relying to help find it difficult to get the support they ah

security forces regain control of brazil's congress supreme court and presidential palace after they was stolen by support as a full president giant. also nora, president lula promise is to punish those responsible while regional and world leaders condemn the invasion as an attack of democracy. ah, a ne parker, the his al jazeera alive from do also coming up. the u. s. president joe biden has arrived in mexico to meet with leaders that just stays after announcing a controversial overhaul to immigration policies. climate activists in germany dig in to protect a village set to be bulldozed for expanding coal mine. ah,

ah. we begin in brazil where security forces of regain control of government buildings attack by supporters of former president, jaya bolaro hundreds broke into congress, the supreme court and the presidential palace and the capital of brazilian riotous, mash furniture, windows, and chanted slogans. it comes a week after louis anacio little da silva, was sworn in as president fallen his narrow election victory and october bull scenario. supporters have refused to accept the result. the present was himself. paolo stayed during the attack and is on his way now. back to brazilian, he laid the blame firmly at the feet of his predecessor, bundled with abby. he'd be ready for everybody knows that this was encouraged by several speeches made by the former president. he encouraged the invasion of the supreme court of the presidential palace. he encouraged the invasion of the 3

governmental powers whenever he could. this is also his responsibility. and it's the responsibility of the parties that supported him. all. this will be investigated forcefully and very quickly. and jaya ball slower has responded himself condemning the violence in a series of tweets. he said, pillaging an invading public buildings is outside the law. but he denied encouraging his supporters saying there's no proof to back up lulu, accusations, monica gala k of has more now from rio de janeiro. we were with these people on the inauguration day on january the 1st they were camped outside of the military barracks. they had said that they were waiting for the military to intervene. they wanted a military coup. and if that would not happen, that they would take matters in hand. and they did now the they have been orchestrating the attacks on their telegram channels during the past week. buses

have been arriving at brazil. yeah. so it came as a surprise that the security forces in brazil were so slow to act and that cast some doubts about their loyalties because the military police, the army, the armed forces in general have been staunch supporters of former president zabel . so now don't who, by the way is in florida. so let's going to have a very tough time. reuniting this country he wanted, that was his main goal. but now his main goal is to stop any attempted coup or any other situation like this. we must remember that although there are few people that entered the 3 buildings and destroyed windows and furniture that both nato has. many supporters throughout brazil who believe that the elections have been rigged. who believe the supreme court is biased? who believe that congress will reel and deal with the government and who believe

that they are right in stopping the law from governing? stay with these dramatic developments in brazil and bring in moscow coined bro who's in brazil. he's president of the economic freedom foundation. welcome to the program. what are these developments and events that are unfolding there and brazilian say about the fragility of democracy after this latest election? actually, it's a pleasure to be here at year. but actually what you're seeing here in brazil, lia is that democracy came stronger after everything that happened today. because as an outcome, the results of all the demonstration as they seem today at the asians of public buildings. it showed that there was a power of reaction from the government and the government could take it and pulled back. all the demons, trade, theirs,

back out of resilience. so it looked like that after 400 people that are in jail after that. and the police that came to the demonstrators and pulled them back out of the government buildings. it looked like now that there is a lot of support for the new government and for democracy in brazil. there also seems to be an awful lot of vocal support. still, for both scenarios that as well will have influence, does he still exert over brazilian politics? he apparently via his it's twitter account just said that he has nothing to do with these protests. yeah, he says he has nothing to do with those pro best. but we know everybody knows in the country that he has, and it was support to find them by people that are his supporters.

so he's is to trying to show his influence with the depo with the population and try to make this p o, a pressure on the new government. but it look like that. it's just the beginning. after that, he's going to lose track and losing track. it looks like he's not going to be able to be a leader of, of a position in brazil if there really is a stronger position in brazil is not going to be lead by both scenario. who in d now is not even in brazil is in the united states. as you say, look at the situation there is now largely under control with many of the riots is arrested, but never left. there have been fears about the loyalty of the police and also the military that in brazil, surely, that must be a huge concern for the new lula administration. it was a concern about the security forces because the security forces of the capital are

under the guard for guards rule. so the governor didn't act and till everything was on a riot in the city today, we could see that i could see what was going on. and brazilian, everybody in the cd could feel what was going on. and the governor was actually doing nothing. now when he came on the t v and said that he is very sorry for he is a lack of action during the demonstration. and that he's asking for the president of the senate, the chairman of the house, the chief of the judiciary and lulu, the president of brazil, is saying that he's sorry at 81 not happen again. but lula. the created intervention on the security forces on the cap though, and now the security forces in the care. so in resilience are not under the

governor's will anymore. it's direct response now direct to the president, president lula. well, if we study what's happened to the united states in the wake of president trump's failed election, when clearly similar situations they're playing out in brazil as well. it does beg the question, what will happen to the political rights now in brazil, who will speak for them who will safely include them in the democratic process going fall that forward to avoid things like this. it looks like we have a new democratic government in brazil, and he is only in its 1st week. and the 1st week is he still getting tracked is still setting up call is in the country and it looks like that in brazil, considering the poetry of the political,

cultural that we have in the country, it looks like the as that things are going to settle down over time, and then we're going to have in a position good, a position, and that position that is not a base is on riots and not based on what we've seen on till now. but i'm a sure positions to this government. and it looked like that we're going to fulfill the democratic path of our country. that is the stable government and a constructive opposition, mostly calling for president of the economic freedom foundation live in brazil. many thanks for joining us. thank you. my pleasure. you as president joe biden as arrived, a mexico on his 1st visit to a latin american sorry. latin america as president rather earlier. he visited the u . s. border with mexico in the state of texas biden. we'll meet with mexican president andras, look manuel lopez,
