ah, ah ah ah, a state of emergency is declared in the brazilian capital supporters of the countries. the former president store government on things 50 russian soldiers returned from ukrainian captivity in a prisoner's suave deal, which sees this same number of ukrainian troops released following, talked. russia's defense ministry, the men were in mortal danger. universal ministry of defense was that, yes, it's a very of an issue that i will try to afraid moscow for the deaths of civilians and

hard called by digging up brave. i'm disfiguring bodies in ukraine. second artist with bringing you the big stories from the 1st 7 days of this year are right up to the moment developments as well. welcome to the weekly and r t. my names. even neil sh . we begin with breaking news from brazil, where our president let this sell by house. they cleared a state of emergency until the end of the month following the storming of government buildings in the countries capital. supporters to all the former president year to both scenario have seized the presidential palace home to the left. this leader lula who was inaugurated as president on january 1st, dressed mainly in the nation's yellow and green colors. they report it to be causing damage and destruction both inside and outside the building. some of both

scenarios, followers have refused to accept new lives. victory and last years presidential election. hundreds of protesters also broke through police for years running the national congress and entered the senate chamber as can be seen in the footage. and by the way, neither host of congress is currently in session. the security breach has been compared to the january 2021 u. s. capital riots by supporters of donald trump. the brazilian president has reportedly been evacuated to a safe location amid the ongoing police are using cure gas to disperse the crime, spring protectors, both from the growing vehicles you can probably make out here from helicopters and in the sky. several arrests have been made. security forces pry. griggs gain control of the building. the federal supreme court has also been targeted by the

protesters. litres are flushing with police there and are calling for the military to act again. last last week, protests were held against the arrest of indigenous leader who call for acts of civil disobedience against the brazilian president. i want to show you this as well . some protesters helping so closely with police and beating them with the stick or as well as shown in this on verified video. we're christ rented a police officer motor on horseback. he's tried to hold on, but the tried to push him his in terms of reaction. the chilean, an argentinian presidents have said that they are prepared to send special forces to help contain the protests with the law for comparing the scenes to who the ecuador is. leader. meanwhile, warned of quote, a disrespect towards democracy with condemnation or so coming from bolivia,

venezuela, another latin american cheese, brazilian political science expert. hello, a fun so sees this situation was predictable. having i'd is again to conclude the protestors blame president lulu for his past saying that he is a thief and a corrupt official. but it was all decided through the court and it was proved that he was not guilty. in fact, they cannot accept the result of the election. they want both scenario to return. they say that the elections are unfair and there should be reelections. they say both sanara must return to power and didn't bo scenario himself is in the usa. interestingly, only 2 days have passed since the anniversary of the date when the trumpet occupied the american capital. it can be said that there is a split in society among 120000000 votes. the difference is $2000000.00. this shows that society is divided into almost 2 halves, but i do not know that concessions are possible on the part of the authorities. it

is not at all clear how this will be resolved. so now every one is looking at the situation and just can't believe what they see. but in reality, it could have been predicted. ah ok, something else tell you about. on a busy news, they 50 russian servicemen had been freed from ukrainian captivity and have now arrived back in moscow after a prisoner swap was negotiated with keith r. t. sophia nunez, met the no ex prisoners of war at an airport in the capital, russia ukraine have carried out another prisoner exchange on sunday, bringing 50 of russian service men home from ukraine where they were held captive for months. as part of our hello procedure. the troops had been brought to my school for psychological and medical treatment at rushes, military hospital, rushes defense ministry said that they were at risk of death in ukrainian captivity . russia has been highlighting ukrainian atrocities. again, it's against, it's

a p o w i. since the beginning of the complex, but even when the video over russian feel w is being executed, a service on line international organizations and the media weight that little attention. however, there comes a moment when it's no longer possible to remain oblivious. and especially when one of your own is spilling the beans in his now infamous interview end jameel burn a former u. s. navy officer, an founder of american mercenary organization. what's our role that is currently operating in ukraine reveal to the awful truth? ukrainians are in violation of the hey convention. they're filming off a number of things said they're doing with ha ha p o w s is filing the laura don. laura vom conflict is shane kill due to i mean every knows his surrender. i mean on and the and now there was plenty of them. we asked the really soldiers if they saw

on may the experienced themselves, anything of that sort that during their time in captivity, beauty, some ukrainian service treated us very cruelly and brutally. at the same time. they got pleasure and enjoyment from it. they beat us and made videos of it. they tried to scalp someone us with a bureau to him for the 1st time on the front line. soldiers will be either lucky or unlucky that is ukrainian soldiers can shoot prisoners of war ortiz. hi dog. simply because there are a lot of them and they only wants a few. they also shoot all sorts of videos and basement is trying to scare us by burning the letter said on the soldiers bodies oversee, but you feel worse than a convict. so if they have any rights, then we have no rights, sundays, prisoners swap is the 1st one in 2023, and the latest in a number of prison exchanges. the longer the conflict goes on an odd as more information from the light, the greater the urgency of bringing the soldiers home. meanwhile,

ukraine us prepared a large scale provocation, aimed at accusing the russian armed forces of war crimes. that coming from the russian defense ministry, which saith the bodies of those who died of natural causes in the heart called region, had been dug up until literately disfigured ben dumped in specially prepared pits to create false evidence of torture and executions by russian soldiers telling us more ortiz from one culture. well, a russian, the defense is free us sounding all of the alarm is possible. now they're saying bad. are you creating an authority? ukrainian, law enforcement have been taken out of graves in the secretaries in the article for region. great to belong to people that died of natural causes. and not only that, russian ministry saying bad the people who are digging out those grades,

they're just figuring the people are the corpses. and they're taking those courses and putting them, putting them into other got math grades nearby, and they're already documenting them. and they said they started doing that on that christmas eve. they, russian, or for those christmas. in other words, from the 6 to the 7th of december and the moment they already brought sol investigators and criminal experts and also so called witnesses, they're taking pictures. and it's a thing in the trying to imitate the fact that people are tortured by russian military. and of course, that is very, very reminiscent one word a last year in the city, and that's in the north western ukraine. now that he was under

control, the russian armed forces by then due to a progress at that point in negotiation between russia, ukraine, a russian forces are retreated from boucher and was left a few days later ukraine started coming out. so with the footage that there were a lot of horses and bodies on the streets that were a mass graves. and at that point they said that this is all the, this was the read all the russian, the military and presented absolutely no facts. and that was immediate, it's all white, western media, both mainstream media, social networks as well. without any proof with rush, hold on. no rush has been denied. all of those, like the, she was always there watch for a security council meeting at the un, which was that we've had it up by the united kingdom. but russia was refused any

type of investigation any, any, say in that. but i 42, all the evidence that russia has had at that point have a left at boucher. it points out to the act that this was an old flag operation and all of those atrocities were actually committed by ukraine. and of course, that is no surprise either because it, during this special ministry, audition or russia had left a couple of places and right away you credit for it began there. so ration operation for many people to videos who have been accused of collaboration with russia have disappeared and have been found that so now rush defense are saying that you great is preparing another old lag operation of such as that which happens in boucher. now the other thing remains to see at

this point whether the world, at least this time we'll see what you crave is attempting to leave. yet another big news line emerged on sunday. russia save hundreds of ukrainian soldiers were killed in what they called a retaliatory operation. for key of deadly new year, a strike on the city of mckee, of cat, which claimed the lives of 189 russian soldiers a good a scope built in response to the criminal attack. so the key for regime on the furs, if 2023, in the city of my case, the russian military organized a retaliation operation, locations of the ukraine and military forces were found in climate tours. and more than $600.00 soldiers were killed. this late, this on verified footage appears to show the aftermath of moscow's operation. according to the russian m. o. d. the ukrainian forces were located in 2 university dormitories. the retaliation comes after

a key of shell. the city of mackie of k using us supplied hi marsh rockets on new years eve going into new year's day. 2 of those rockets were intercepted by russian or defenses, but for a hit their targets killing. scores of russian troops, ukrainian forces are allegedly being held by british military intelligence in collaboration with the u. s. tech, from novice, according to a cache of lee documents reported by the grease own news outlet. it saves the u. k . provides data for caves, forces to fight russian troops through aggressive harvesting of data. the technology has enabled the planning of military offensives in artillery attacks, assassinations, asset recruitment, and other measures. the leaked files raise serious questions about whether anomaly . 6, a technology has been used throughout the ukraine conflict in an array of targeted

operations against specific individuals in infrastructure. if it has britain bears ultimate responsibility for the outcome of these disturbing actions, which in some cases amount to crimes against humanity. just to expand on that the report states a u. s. firm called anomaly. say excel has been providing intel on russian military movements in real time. but data is allegedly sent to british intelligence via that private military grip prevail partners and then handed over to ukraine. we discussed the revelations with gray zone editor kit thornburg using a normally fix the technology. the love is the defense intelligence and she said that she sent you the ukrainian military can very easily identify the small firms of very individuals where they are civilian ministry, who is for the specific and talk. there is also a higher risk of cation. it might be why barrier was met,

but yes, it mean innocent. innocent brains were wrongly identified. the soldiers were spot for collaborators. and then guess, i mean, it was a context almost never to be getting me to that that or indeed, that captured torture. pregnancy compunction about brutal constitute captured killing the mass, which is a great war growing serious if it's killed as a result. when that complete element, i think that they get they get the counselor type could be quite some yeah. just to point out, the grey zone has also previously reported on the involvement of u. k. intelligence in the ukraine conflict. back in october,

the outlet said that prior to the deadly attack on the crimean bridge, senior british intelligence officers allegedly drafted on the law bred plot on how to blow it up. while in a separate report, the gray zone saved obtain documents revealing. busy plans by british military intelligence to train covert ukrainian troops along with ways to attack other russian targets in crimea. will kit kornberg again said western powers are being held to account for the consequences of their espionage operations against russia. there has been no iteration. all the limits or restrictions, but london places what it shall be, the crime. these files make pretty clear that there is none i'm trying to do or like should we help every step of the way what provide prevail was heavily involved in the bridge explosion. and what did you guys, what actually happened?

there was an issue or b only, all of these 2, almost every month. another european implicated it uses the style of the activities of john. this is a civil civil society more widely, and there is 0 accountability. and there is up to, you know, consideration what happens if you have dollars box and that was anyone use use equipment typically reserves for. ready for intelligence agencies, or indeed yes, you know, to something really, really needs to meet needs to be done about this. just for the sake of innocent people in the far but also the governments and become companies that will be consequences down the line. all right, moving the program on no service as president has said, nature has no right to reject the country's request to send serbian security forces

to costco, likes under bu. church earlier confirmed the case for international peacekeeping mission, led by nato forces turned on bel grades call. they referred a resolution $1244.00, but they did not invoke the part of the resolution, which actually allows the sanction they have no right to reject that request. we will wait, we will point out how and where in what places they did not protect the serbian population. apart from the country's leader service, the fence minister also questioned why k 4 responded to belgrade to request on orthodox christmas eve, pointing out it was the same day that 2 serbian boys were shot and wounded in the self declared republic in a drive by shooting and in another episode of violence, one young man was beaten while returning from christmas midnight months. following the spate of recent incident serb residence in kosovo, gathered to protest,

attacked by ethnic albanians in kosovo. a large number of course of police officers were reportedly sent to the demonstration, stopping vehicles for inspection k for soldiers are also located near the entrance to the city where the protest took place. earlier we discussed the peacekeeping forces decision with a european study scholars stephan guy it here in the studio. he says that the decision goes against international law. this is a clear violation of the resolution. 1244. it is a clear violation of the international law because once for 23 years ago, the resolution and before that the corner agreement were signed, they are obliged to provide the serbian military and police force to re enter serbian province of gosselin. natasha the atmosphere. that is being built up in which it is a legal basically,

or let's say it is not punishable to ah, to commit violence against the sir against the serbs. and i mean i, i personally blame, i've been quality and the gospel menial leadership on one hand on got her hand. a serbian government has been letting this happen for years in the sense that it was not active. now finally, a sensor, this became really unbearable for the people in the ground. it is reacting so far, diplomatically it, as i used it, stools, one of them being asking for care for to do what it is supposed to do. and that is provide the serbian forces to re enter the province a violation of free speech and the rights of journalists. that's how russia has described the detention of the regional director of the sputnik news agency by authorities in law fear. that journalist mara calcium is a love fin citizen. he was detained on charges of violating

a use sanctions. chronicling of this appears part of a broader e you cracked on, on media outlets that don't go along with the blocks mainstream, nora tubes. here's our t senior correspondent, broadcast if the freedom of expression, then press what once sacred they all founding principles of the union, protected by the, the treaties of the european union, the charter of fundamental rights. and the european convention on human rights as close to gospel as law can gets. every one has the right to freedom of expression. this right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority. and regardless of frontier us, the freedom and pluralism of the media shall be respected. but these principles, these values, have been sick for years. they've been die in spanish,

crackdowns in barcelona, in poland as the government monopolized the press in eastern europe, where it had been building up for years and old began many years ago. and 2016 when latvia blocked sputnik on lod, just she's the domain address, no frills. then they began harassing and threatening journalists, e u. nationals who worked for sputnik with jail time, with sentences prosecution that detain them for talks with security age and state security agents then came arrests and persecution level the british slit. it would take me several hours to simply name all the journalists of come under pressure in eastern europe. here is just one of my own stories, in brief, which is all back in 2019. i was detained at villainous airport, searched and questioned for 5 or 6 hours to state security officers performed

a role play of good cop bad cop. the bad one shouted at me, you're working for chisels. why did you come here? the other one asked me, you're a latvian citizen, so why are you working for them? you know, they are, they're not really people rushes, a peculiar country. finally, he said, you're lucky, you're not a russian citizen, or we would be having a very different conversation. and now we'll just kick you out and close the border for you for 5 years. a month for reference. merit cas m is an e. u national olathe and citizen. all he did is, is she worked for years as editor in chief of screwed mc lithuania. one of his work is online, there's nothing crazy there. you'll find strange stuff and she and then he now faces decades behind bars, charged with violating sanctions because he worked for russians and reportedly espionage because why not wasn't written for from,

with his merits can possibly lose his freedom, due to allegations of violating anti russian sanctions. i mean, the sanctions are a lawful as well as the arrest. this is lawlessness in europe. when a person can be arrested for his journalistic work opinion or the information he provides. there can be even harsher chargers such as espionage or treason. and we've dealt with this before, and we shouldn't rule out such dark perspectives as of africa that to matter which affect every j unless because if anybody can be taken in custody for their opinion and be charged with espionage which is not uncommon these days. and nobody safe. so all people should stand together in this situation. morocco, sam did not violate any laws. he did his job as a jan this legally. he provided to an unbiased information and had nothing will kind of spies a person who works in the public eye for media and hide nothing. the accusations are false and we need to understand this. there are people who will be overjoyed,

those who believe that any opinion, but there's all ones that they agree with should be removed and censored. the soviet union was, was big in this censoring on hiding on restricting. and we all know how that turned out. you cannot restrict expression at was once the european union's mantra, how ironic looked at them now. terrorizing journalists are writing things in a way. they don't like to think that that these people once lectured the world bill nationally. the poor been in this case is totally political espionage charges against marriage or complete nonsense pressure on journalists working in the baltic states is the standard matter. it is an obvious fact that the baltic states are a platform for testing new methods of fighting against journalists. there is an oddness in the charges of violating sanctions. the fact is that the european union

has no sanctions against sputnik have personal sanctions against dimitri castle over was the chief of receive subordinate media group, which includes sputnik and therefore extending these personal sanctions to all the people who work. there is a strange precedent. many european human rights organizations oppose this interpretation of sanctions. the baltic states are a testing ground for lawlessness concerning really harsh measures, such as intimidation, a bed on the profession, and criminal prosecution for journalists, latvia, stony and lithuania, do not act on the rhone. they, as we assume, act either on direct instructions or in coordination with their superiors and the european union. and in the u. s. the accusations of espionage and the threat of imprisoning him for 20 years. as an e. u citizen are in fact a pure policy of the european union, though. okay, before we go to break, i want to recap our top r, breaking news story, this our from brazil where the president tell us the current state of emergency in

the capital, which is q to last until the end of the month. it's after hundreds of people, storm that sees the president for us national congress and the supreme court. police abuse your girls against protesters. as you can see, there are c of yellow green in the countries national colors. there are beliefs of cause damage both inside and outside the governmental buildings. in part of the rioters are supporters of the former new year paulson president lula has reportedly been evacuated just paulo. with the chaos continues, brazilian political science expert follow a form to save up the situation and his view was predictable. well, we'll get more of those views in the coming our out. of course, all the latest developments from brazil. well, but next we dig into the side colleges behind one very modern phenomenon in modern society, which europe on your jaws,

the biggest chunk of internet was apart with excel. and it takes us through that and moment to lose ah, ah ah,

with a with,

[000:00:00;00] with welcome to wells fargo, jokingly dismissed or shameful with the press for them to last a very complex and a very common back phenomena revealing something here them both about it's consumers and societies at large, like any collective commission is gratified and punishes souls and exhaust, exposes and misrepresents. with corn side still joined a big chunk of internet traffic. what makes point such is them both of these guys to discuss that now joined by georgia, 3 kotik, or clinical psychologist from house with an author. all law got
