a defense against versus non 5 aggression clear food will not make it to me. i prevail on this for people to be crazy. it's really a great uh, is that special relationship? half this time folk about the pleasant issues you have just started and course with ukraine where i think the next few weeks a month for feed, crucial, very for important for to crane in this fight for freedoms. now president vladimir putin had a warrant of the west, but the use of long range arms would cross a red line and that russia might retaliate against nato targets. i asked d, w a, you bring him in washington. how serious that threat may be? so it's difficult to really tell if this is a bluff, or there might be anything a behind it. and remember, direct conflict with nato countries may not be the only way that russia could

respond to something like this. they could start sort of wreaking havoc and other parts of the world getting in the way of, uh, western interest. for example, one could imagine that they may start supplying the who these with a weapons, for example. now this is all just speculation. but, you know, a direct conflict with a country that is a member of nato, which would be a major escalation, may not be the only way that put in would respond. should this decision come to pass and should a, you know, western allies now decided that western weapons would be allowed to strike targets within russian territory deep within russian territory. and the russian military has launched a counter attack against ukrainian forces in the russian region. of course, early last month cube ordered its troops to enter course in an attempt to draw a russian forces away from the front line in eastern ukraine. now russia says it's

recaptured several villages from ukrainian forces, but ukrainian president zelinski disputes that claim to russian forces on the offensive inquest. it must go claims to have recaps of several settlements in the region. ukrainian president followed them as a lensky said that despite direction gains, things are getting according to planned ship. what should the luck or scots with the curse corporation did the i'm a shot maybe some unexpected different results. they gave the results that frankly, we expected to use the enemy has been stopped in the harkey region and this progress and the next region is in slowed down how to use for though it's very difficult there. i mean, in the situation there is still far from positive open. nevertheless, the lyrical, they've withdrawn their forces in other areas when they have to separate all this, we ceiling most gonna says it's pushing ahead with its counter offensive. its

forces claim to have destroyed several pieces of military equipment, type some ukraine, as well as some nato countries. while the armed forces of the russian federation have carried out the $39.00 group strikes with precision guided weapons and striked round. as a result, the following has been hit, oil and energy installations used for the cleaning defense industry, air bases, infrastructure, missile, and ammunition manufacturing sites on both sides and claiming that respective successes in cost. however, the situation on the ground remains fluid. let's have a quick look now at some other news from around the world. former us president and republican candidate donald trump has again threatened to the port undocumented migrants if he's elected in november, specifically referred to the ohio town where he falsely claims that haitian

immigrants were eating pets. since then, the town has received bomb threats. presidential biden has called for an end to the hate campaign. as the leader of mexico sent, a low of cartel has pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking and murder conspiracy charges in new york, a smile, a mile. somebody face of 17 felony counts. there was arrested in texas in july us law enforcement had sought him for more than 2 decades. brazil's dispute with tech and billionaire you on musk is heating up front up results. supreme court justices ordered with fines of almost $3000000.00. be seized from bank accounts belonging to the social media platform x and the satellite internet provider star link, both owned by months, the same supreme court justices who passed a ruling 2 weeks ago, banning acts and results. and this dispute is also gotten personal you on mosque at one point, even referring to brazilian, supreme court, justice,

alexandra jean morris, as darth vader. so what does this battle really about earlier? i put that question to brazil studies. professor 5, you just saw a sale that i would say that this battle is really about a 1000000000 there. who is the owner of a large social media company, refusing to follow a basic orders from the bridget into this area. so it's, it's much more than, you know, a disagreement between the company and a justice system is it's, it's a, it's become a matter of advertising of sovereignty. and, and just walk us through a little bit of what this legal battle has been about. it started with the charges of this information. it it actually it started because the x was border to remove some posts in to suspend some profiles that were engaged in a taxing campaign. a gas, some, a brazilian public officials, the police officers,

were conducting an investigation about some wrong duties done by a former president, both on have an x and mosque, refused to, to comply with those orders because they, you know, basically have argue that's bad because they stand up for freedom of speech and they, they don't see the points of banning any type of speech on social media. even if that kind of speech is threatening to add this safe to this case of the public official. now supreme court justice, inter morris went so far as to freeze the bank accounts of acts and star link. is that standard and, and how necessary was that as it's a quite severe measure of course. um, but the reason why he did that was because the musk and actually ex, west fines for not complying with the previous borders. and after that must remove

the, you know, all the representatives of the company from brazil. and so that basically the company stopped responding to the president of this sherry, and there was nobody to pay for defiance or to be responsible for that fines. so he orders the freezing of the, the assets of x, as well as star week when it comes to star leg it's, it's a complicated question because it's a different legal entity than x. but star link is one of the investors of x in tech company. does this possible under president law, there's a provision in prison and load it authorizes the disregarding of a legal entity and visually share to go after the owners of the company. if they understand that the company has become just a shell for illegal acts. now let's talk just briefly if you can about the reactions in brazil, we're actually seeing some protesters siding with you on mosque to that's

correct. because the what the most has done is to make his platform a partisan platform. he has developed a very strong ties with the brazilian fire rights with the supporters of former president valuables on the out of some of whom have been convicted for participation in an attempted cool. in january, 8th, 2023. and so, you know, there's, there's, they're using this momentum that's jenna being generated by the clash between most and more guys to also pressure the court for ease this and pressure parliament to give an amnesty to some of those people who were convicted into, i guess we can deal for the of the courts so that the once keep up with its investigations against both on the island, some military officers and bought the those events as well. professor fabio, just as so my thank you very much. thank you. they nigeria is
