2:02 am
side of cornwall, a county in england that has given out more vaccines than 22 african countries. combined. amnesty international has worn of staggering inequality in access to vaccines that will determine not just who lives or dies, but future relations between countries. so how far are leaders willing to go to ensure equitable vaccine distribution? and how can the democracies show themselves as a convincing alternative to i talk receive like china and russia? i'm claire richardson in berlin, and this is the day the i actually think that the meeting, the genuinely need to support that thing. diplomacy, let alone blackmail. good. think why not just thinking about ourselves, but also about those who haven't yet been able to be vaccinated together, which is important because we know no one site until everyone is genuinely
2:03 am
wonderful. to see everybody in the class or i'm pleased by us. he is a strong supporter of the transatlantic and it's wonderful to listen to the vitamin ministration into the job. i think it's on the so much that they want to do together with the also on the day the youtube are taking on and this manage i year both the narrow as brazil suffers one of the deadliest outbreaks of cove in 1900 in the world's belief in nato received death threats for criticizing the brazilian president. he joins me live from rio de janeiro right now. what brazil is facing a very different and special situation that is very delicate. so what i said is that when we're facing fascism and fascists, every one who decided to stay silent is an accomplice of this fascist rigid regime
2:04 am
. oh, hello and a very warm welcome to the show to our viewers on p b. s in the united states and all around the world. we begin the day with the g 7 summit, a meeting of leaders from the world's wealthiest democracies. this year it's taking place in cornwall, southwest england hosted by prime minister or has johnson. it's the g 7 leaders 1st in person talk in nearly 2 years. they're expected to cover a range of topics on the world's most pressing issues, including the crone of virus pandemic, the climate emergency, and the strengthening of multilateral ties. the president has landed joe biden on european soil for a week of diplomacy. his message, the trump years of neglecting the trans atlantic alliance, a well and truly over at every point along the way, we're going to make it clear that united states is back. this trip is important for
2:05 am
biden, it goes to the whole lot of his belief about this era that we vented a battle of the systems between democracies like those here in europe. and to talk receipts like china and russia biden says that the west must unite and show that it's got what it takes, the mocker sees the world are standing together to tackle the toughest challenges and the issues that matter most to our future. that we're committed to, lady was strength, defending our values. so biking has come to europe. the 3 summits with democratic clubs. first, the g 7 in britain, that nato and the european union in brussels. before finally with russia's leg. biden's idea is that it's best to consult your friends before you confront your rival. veteran german diplomat falls going issue. that's a good plan. i think it is very smart. it is in terms of
2:06 am
diplomatic of practice to meet with nato partners for and with your partners 1st before the the meeting with blood you may put it by wants to be able to show you can and indirect a china to the when the west is united, they can deliver in ways that they cannot thank you for he's announced plans to donate more cove. it vaccines to poorer countries. and g 7 finance ministers of agreed a minimum rate of corporate tax to force global times. pay that. so you can expect the g 7 to be a show of transatlantic unity. but how deep does that unity go when it comes to biden's? big idea of pushing back against the autocrat on china. europe has tied in with us sanctions over human rights abuses. but europe's economy is so dependent on china that it's doubtful, it will be as tough as washington once and on russia. germany has refused to stop
2:07 am
the controversial north stream to pipeline biden sees that is a major mistake that will make your weaker, more dependent on russia. both going issue fears. if europe doesn't step it risk feeding that from narrative that the transatlantic alliance isn't. what is there anything we can do to make sure that the next president will not be again, donald trump, or somebody like donald trump, who wishes to abandon europe. we want to be a good partner, another useless topic. so a lot rides on this week of some it's between friends and foes. meetings that count both for the outside world and for the voters back home. and i'm joined now by yano pooley read from the european council on foreign relations. she focuses on european foreign policy, as well as security and defense policy and trans atlantic tie. the welcome to the
2:08 am
day. as we heard, johnson and biden agreed on a new so called atlantic charter models on the one signed by s d r, and winston churchill, the laid out their vision for a post war world order. so my question to you is how much reaffirmation did the special relationship between the u. s. and u. k. really need i think after that more than turbulent trump years. yeah. the renewal of the vows was something that was needed. that also was supposed to send a signal to the world that not only basically the united states is back, but the trans atlantic alliance of dance firm to tackle the global challenges. and i think it was yeah, it was a kind of symbolic gesture that is supposed to enhance to western credibility. ok and renewing of the vows after the turbulent trump gears you want to stay with
2:09 am
us. i want to play a clip of how prime minister bores johnson described the u. s. u k relationship after his meeting with biden. and then get your take it. so it's a relationship. you go to the deep and meaningful. he knew that whatever was the indestructible relationship it, it's a, it's a relationship that has endured for a very long time and has been an important part of peace and prosperity, both in, in europe and around the world. that all sounds very positive. but are there any lingering doubts about us democracy? yes, i think especially if you're asked the german public, we just did that at the european council on foreign relations. and we basically asked whether people thought the political system of the united states works well or is broken. and we asked that question last november. and now this april again. and although we see a, by any fact, we see that the numbers recovered. and the dorothy of european still think that the
2:10 am
political system in the united states is broken and i think especially kind of the images of a capital riot. stick deep with europeans. and yeah, they're awesome to be about whether kind of the from phenomena was one of whether there is something deeper that is wrong with the united states. democracy. ok, so with your findings that europeans are skeptical about the restoration of america . how is that going to play out in conversations taking place at the g 7? i think kim, the in the united states came to, to europe to, to look for partner in that fight between democracies and i talk with cease. and i think although the europeans are willing to work with the united states, there are also defining their interests very clearly and chance to merkel and president my call have said that they are not interested in too much of
2:11 am
a confrontation stance towards china. so i think that you will see that your opinions defining their interest want to work with the united states, but that they will make very clear with their red lines. and so is that just to show our united front? i mean, we know biden is preparing for a meeting with russian president vladimir putin in geneva next week. do you think that that is contributing to them wanting to show a united front as leaders of these democracies? yeah, but i think this is also deeply in the european interest. i think it's a big relief that the united states president asks come south allies for his before he meets with president putin, that is highly welcomed. and yeah, i think he, that was a good move by president biden. although i hear some complaints from central and eastern europe specially from poland that they feel not consulted enough. and that
2:12 am
they complain about letting germany off the hook when it comes to not seem to and the waiver of the sentence. ok, so consultation is key. i want to turn the conversation now to talk about vaccines . leaders of the world, most powerful democracies are all sitting together at the table. and this is going to be their chance to show that the west can offer a coherent vision of the future to pull the world out of the coven crisis. in your view, what do you think leaders need to do to agree to in terms of vaccine sharing plans by the end of this weekend? i think they have to find an agreement or a compromise between what the president biden has proposed the waiver of trips and basically the european approach to share vaccine doses. now, president biden has amounts that he wants to buy a huge amount of vaccine doses to share with the global south and poor countries. and i think he expects the european to follow his example. and so there will be
2:13 am
a loss of talk how to make sure that also the poor countries get back tonight soon . because until everybody is speculated, nobody say ok. and this weekend is also in many ways a make or break moments for climate change. hundreds of protesters are in cornwall to urge leaders to take serious action on climate change. what can we expect from the talks? i think it's an adult. does sides interest. it's in the vital administration's interest, but also in the european interest to really make progress on climate change. we in germany has even a ruling from our constitutional kurt, which obliges our government to make progress. so i think you will see a willingness from both sides and of course some difficult topics remain here as well. like the question of the carbon border adjustment mechanism is something that needs to be discussed. but i think that these protestors have
2:14 am
already achieved a lot also fridays for future movement. i think they have contributed much to the growing awareness all over europe and the united states. jennifer greene from the european council on foreign relations. thank you so much for coming on the show with your insight. thank you. thank the and after days of doubt, brazil supreme court says the country can host the copa america soccer tournament this sunday. despite the corona virus pandemic. the vote to hold the cope was unanimous despite political group and challenging the tournament. due to a surgeon cases in brazil. resistance had even come from the brazilian national team. it was originally due to be hosted by columbia and argentina before those 2 countries were dropped. a couple will take place without fans in stadiums.
2:15 am
and with brazil suffering one of the world's worst cove in 1900 outbreaks for the destroyer. both scenario has come under fire for a disastrous pandemic response. one of his loudest critics is the leaping nato. is popular youtube are known for goofing around and playing video games, but a brazilian who have used his platform to lamb basketball scenario for his handling of the pandemic. and i want to bring in a fully pay now from rio de janeiro to talk more. hopefully we thank you so much for joining us on the show. and just by how lively the world of social media is in brazil, many celebrities have been keeping their mouth shut about the government's pandemic response. so at what point did you decide to go on the offensive against both scenario and his allies? well hi, thank you very much for giving me in the show. and well, it's been basically about being a human being seeing everything the most amount has been doing in brazil since the beginning of his leadership. it's been really outrageous.
2:16 am
and since even since before, the, the covey that outbreak, so to not speak up tonight, user platform when you have millions of followers, even when you have to force to not speak up about all the atrocities that he's committing in brazil is to be well to agree with him, so basically i used my twitter account to start thing everything i thought about his administration. and because a lot of people decided to stay silent. my profile kinda exploded because people were like, ok, so he's talking about it. let's see what he has to say. but it's not like i'm a political specialists are expert. i'm like you said, i'm a youtube or i create content. i'm an entertainer, but at some time i have a responsibility to my audience to tell them what's going on and help brazil to achieve democracy. again, at least what we believe is the best way of democracy. so we are very afraid of
2:17 am
everything that he's doing. and we're very scared of the way he's dealing not only with the panoramic, but all the other matters the, the amazon forest and all that. and it's, it's going to be really, really hard for brazil if he wins again. if he gets reelected next year, and there have been attempts to silence you for your criticism of both scenario, including legal action and threats. can you tell us more about that? oh yeah, absolutely i i've, i've been receiving death threats for at least 2 years now. i had to take my yeah, i had to take my mom out of the country because she received that threats and we had to send her to porterville. at the same time, they tried to use the judicial system to silence me. a police car came to my house to, to handle me a paper saying i had to go to the police station to because i was being framed for
2:18 am
crimes against national security. just because i was saying that both sonata was a genocidal, which he has just to day. we were facing an investigation now in brazil, that is going really well. and our politicians are trying to figure out what happened in the beginning and why brazil has almost 500000. that's due to covert since we had so much time to prevent those deaths and nothing was was done. and today, just today we had a specialist called natalia pastor knock, and she said that 3 in every 4 deaths in brazil could have been avoided. and when we reached 500000 deaths, 375000 deaths could have been avoided. and this was based on a study that was made by professor pedro how so it's, it's really unprecedented and he tried not him,
2:19 am
but his son tried to use the the law of national security to silence me because i use words like genocidal and well, your numbers and it was done who was behind these threats? no, he's behind the he's actually behind the the attempt to silence me using the digital system. he went to the police and he filed the, i don't know the, the right term in english, but he filed the persecution. i don't know the word. and the police came to me and it started, it really started. so the chief of the, the cherice, i don't know if that's the word with the sheriff. he decided to go forward with this. and then the judge who was a good judge said this was not acceptable and stopped the process. and they, they tried the other things, they tried to connect my name to pedophilia. they tried to connect my name with all kinds of atrocities and monstrous crimes, just to undermine my,
2:20 am
my reputation. and this is what i've been facing and dealing with for the last couple of years. it's been really hard, but at the same time, just the right way, 100 sorts. i wonder though with all or did you ever consider just keeping quiet every single day. but i just can't, i just can't it's, it's much bigger than me. it's my family is, is supporting me. they are supporting me at the same time. they're very scared of everything that is going on. but if i just stay silent and that's exactly what they're trying to do, they know they can associate me with crimes. they can't go through with the plans that they have. and there are only 2 possible ways for them to, to deal with me or death or need shutting up. so i won't shut up. and i hope i don't get killed for the finance with some serious allegations. that's been a pleasure. have you on the show. thank you so much for joining us on d. w. new. thank you. thank you.
2:21 am
the as the european union and the us discuss further sanctions against the government of bella roost. and your documentary looks at the people resistance to alexandra lucas. shank goes regime and the films premiering at the berlin film festival in the presence of exiled opposition leader fit long to cannot scan. it focuses on the lives of 3 actors and called simply courage, scenes of peaceful protest and dela, rosa, last summer, caught in the documentary courage. today, they look like images from another era. ah, the film follows 3 actors turned, protested dennis, puzzled. marina. last summer they were full of hope for change. now all 3 live in exile. they decided to leave battles because it was not possible to walk and to live in this fear feeding. and they decided to moved
2:22 am
to key if the right now all of them are in exile and care. i their participation in been demonstrations against other russian leader, alexander lucas echo both puddle and dennis were arrested and detained for 15 days at a prison in minsk. the present plays a central role encourage here where families gather to find out the face of their loved ones, arrested or disappeared by the regime. as soon as they were released, dennis and todd left the country. marina was the last to go. i hope, i mean, even before the recent track down the act is banned from performing off the staging place, critical of dictatorship, making art into a dollar of seems impossible at the moment. but poly believes his country need to now move on ever. ah, it's
2:23 am
a to try to help people to or can their fear of a can there a trauma, really depression trauma and to say please not lose hope and date of the cultural correspondence. scott, iraq. pharaoh joins us now from the heart of berlin for more on germany's entry in the berlin, alice summer, special scott, the documentary courage shows the grim realities of opposing delivery soon regime. what were your main takeaways from the film? well, i mean, i guess it says it all in the title. i mean, the film really shows the, the courage of ordinary belushi owens the hundreds of thousands of them that went to the streets last summer to peacefully protest, tried an overthrow, alexander lucas shank. those regime watching this bill now a year later though, it also touch touch of sadness that you watch it because of course that peaceful
2:24 am
protest didn't succeed in toppling the regime. in fact, it was crushed. and so many people that we see in the film are either now in prison or, or an exile because it really struck me is how the lives of these 3 actors turned activists appears to have a change irrevocably. you know, in the ways that you just mentioned, and i understand that you had the chance to speak to some of them on the red carpet . yes to the main actors in the film are here's a night for the premier of the film here at the bailey now that i was able to speak to them and i was struck both by their resilience and also by their for me. surprising optimism. they both said that though things have gotten much worse in bella crucible though, they both had to escape into exile. they both now live in kiev and ukraine. they said they were still hopeful that real change could happen in bella. ruth and they were saying now the impetus has to come from outside. they both called for,
2:25 am
for sanctions real top sanctions from the you from the u. s. against bella, ruth, to really forth the regime of alexander lucas shan't go out and to force a real democracy into their country. okay, so they're there with a clear political message as well as their bravery. but this is scott, what does the competition look like using courage? stand the chance of clinching the best documentary prize? yes, i think it really does. i mean the, the top prices say the golden bears have actually already been given out an online ceremony in march. but there is still this prize of best documentary and i think courage is such a film of the moment that so so critically important not just people of bella, luce, but i think to anyone who speaks up for freedom of speech and freedom of the arts in europe around the world. so i think that's very, very good chance to win. and even if it doesn't, this is a film that really demands to be seen by as many people as possible. so it's great that it has this amazing platform of this summer, special barely, and
2:26 am
a red carpet tonight. so let's talk about the barrel and obviously looks a little bit different this year. this is an open air event and due to the pandemic, what difference does that make the move there? i have to say it's a completely different mood. i mean, the better not usually is in the middle of winter i'm. i'm freezing on the red carpet. every year, to have it this year under open skies and the beautiful summer weather of berlin is really, really magical, especially after the year we've had, with the pandemic year and cinema being close and be impossible to see movies in a normal way. this feels like like coming out of hibernation to actually almost come back to normal. and i think that's what the building i was trying to do is trying to get that signal that maybe things are coming back to normal. and maybe the magic of the movies is coming back again. fabulous, scott. well, enjoy your time there. and scott roxborough in berlin. a thank you so much for your reporting for us. and that was the day as ever the conversation does continue on
