oh yes, to shape out an engagement, it was the trail. when so many find themselves will depart. we choose to look for common ground. ah, i made ongoing riots and rallies in brazil. facebook's parent company met us centers all post with an antique president list. well, we take a deeper look at why the west, fully facts, some protests, but not others. also ahead to round slums, france for double standards and hypocrisy. after the latest, surely abdul cover depicts around supreme leader, sparking angry protests, chorus justifies that publication. so i think freedom of speech also ahead this

3, several houses were destroyed by the multiple launch rockets, systems grad. this fragment of a show cannot be extracted at the moment. our teeth use the aftermath of ukrainian shelling in tone balance over the past 24 hours to civilians are reported. killed in the attempts with israel's new national security minister, cracked on palestinian tugging, national flags in public claiming there is a symbol of terrorism with one minute past mid day in mexico city, midnight in jakarta, line at night here in the russian capital. welcome to the global news roundup. on our tanner, the former leader of brazil yard bolt scenario has been hospitalized in the us state of florida with abdominal pain. it comes, it made violent protests in the brazilian capital where his supporters have

demanded new presidential elections. boston, otto has condemned the violence saying he only supports peaceful demonstrations. of protesters have now also taken to the streets of sao paulo, blocking roadways this monday. this is video we have received from the countries largest city. several cars were torched by the protesters, while brazil supreme court has suspended the governor of the capital, brazilian after crowd storm. the presidential palace and other government buildings on sunday. ah, protest her story, the official residents of the left this president lula da silva, who was an org or rated on january 1st hundreds, also entered the senate chamber bundling in the premises before poli so ah, yeah,

lot of yellow and green on his neck. and amid the heavy clutches, law enforcement used to go under cain, at least 1200 involved in the rally to put in 2 homes. at least 70 people were reportedly injured with several currently in critical condition. president to let the silver house, the 3rd, a state of emergency for the rest of january that has deployed the military to attain east in the capital city. door the vis a fearful asked if i would like to tell you that all those people who did this will be found and punished. they will understand that democracy guarantees the right to freedom the right to freedom of expression. but it also requires that it must be respected. these institutions were created to strengthen democracy. the protesters are believed to primarily be supporters of the previous liter. yeah, you are to both scenario last october's election by a relatively small margin and contested the results. he's denied any involvement in the current protests and has condemned the violence. the current president lula has

said, authorities are conducting an investigation to root, i'd be purpose figures of the ones. meanwhile, joe biden and other western leaders have issued stevie condemnation of the violent demonstration a condemned the assault on democracy and on the peaceful transfer of power and brazil. brazil's democratic institutions have our full support and the will of the brazilian people must not be undermined. i look forward to continuing to work with president lula, my absolute condemnation of this soul from the democratic institutions of brazil, full support for president lew of the silver, democratically elected by millions of brazilians for fare and free elections. full support to lula da silva and his government to congress and to the federal supreme court. brazilian democracy will prevail over violence and extremism. however, when it comes to financing protests around the world, western leaders can be fickle and pretty selective to say the least earlier. my

colleagues reshay and murat gas, the of talk through washington and europe's approach. let's talk about perspective here more at if we can, because i so certain western professional partners they, they support protests in certain countries that say latin america for now, but then they don't support protests in many other countries as well. it, it almost seems like there's some sort of preferential treatment going on here. how would you pick up the reaction so far to brazil? well, it see, it's much more simple. what drives them the people who, who support or condemn these protests ease, entirely selfishness at is that is the world we live in. so what bought joe biden, ah, the, what joe biden, you know the instructions for him or what is good for america? what serves american national interest is good. so if, if a protest is there and potentially could unseat someone that the united states

doesn't live like the chairman and he, in china will, of the spiritually the in, in iran. and they're all forward. and they couldn't care less if it is in the country that is with friendly with the united states. and that is going to cause pain for the united states. and of course that they will never support such a protest. i mean, look what happened in a, in it, for example, venezuela, right? you had them event, a president, just label a guy, a president. that was new condemnation. when he attempted to school military building, the military sorcery said building that even a military ample. there's no condemnation, let's no one elected this guy lu whenever elected him. and here's another example right here, 2030. what led to these bloody conflict that is currently that is currently happening in ukraine so, so they're saying that this was an attacker on democracy. what happened in what

happened in brazil? the same words that they use for what happened on, on capital hill. so going against and elected president, mary 6, you're talking about exact? yes. in ukraine. my doug, you had protesters burning police alive. you had people killing each other, storming state offices, the govern, trying to unsafe a president who was elected legitimately who was congratulated by the state, the part and then who was on the state of the stage and my down square. you had victoria newland until it came to john lee k, another american politician fighting of the flames. and you couldn't because it served us national interests, served regime change interests for regime change. in some instances, it is more beneficial to, to change the regime in other instances as of brazil that, that, that keep it in place and you talk about and protests, demonstrations and you know, if indeed there is some hint of potential regime change there as you well no more

than that, that's just straight out of langley virginia's playbook when it comes to regime change. you know, well about the arab spring that kicked off in 2010. what. what about the color revolution? serbia? 2000 georgia, 2003. i mean, i'm preaching to the choir anti murdad who are precisely and you have the state department pollutants resources u. s. a bad now in so many leonardo's yeah. because that is the instruments that they use to fun opposition to fund radical nationalists. the fund various a liberal pro western media outlets added to so the so da said you do have companies on board now for example, mater facebook has just come out and said that it will now start censoring any post that is in support of the protesters in brazil in advance of the election, we designated brazil as a temporary high risk location and have been removing content, calling for people to take up arms or forcibly invade congress. the presidential

palace and other federal buildings. we're also designating this is a violating event, which means we will remove content that supports or praises these actions. you now have these huge tech job censoring so as they did said the stories to, to protect joe biden. sudden, for example, twitter, facebook. we have now learn and then now involved here in this, in protest, the demonstration which where they go a, you have very can companies. starling, for example, said the terminal to a wrong, the help the protesters organize their hold. this is about freedom and democracy mirage. surely, well, it's about american national interest. it has always been about about american national interests. and that is, that is the naked truth. well, as the protests in brazil continuum, they don't look like listening do mixture to stop by our website for an explainer

all their origins from the world's reaction to the system. for another story we are across to day. dozens of iranians gathered outside the french embassy interior rum on sunday, protesting against cartoons overrun, supreme leader, published by the french satirical magazine, charlie abdul, the prod, set fire to a french flag while chanting death to from in 2015 dozen people were killed. when islamists soap and fire in the shirley of 2 offices in paris, after the magazine published cartoons of the prophet muhammad to r t contributor rachel marston gives her take her, the french government has rejected taking any responsibility in the matter of the latest cover. instead accusing a run of suppressing free speech. oh, really seems like mac hole and the french government are kind of blowing all of it . all french officials are using these caricature of the supreme leader of iran,

which were submissions to a contest held last month by the french satirical magazine chandelier, due to basically say, look, we, the french government aren't going to get involved with whatever a french magazine is doing because we are above that and we believe in free speech, have a listen. does everyone can, i'm of is a pretty teacher said case for you the wrong policies, the one followed by iran, which practices violence against his own populations, which is particularly shocking. let's remember that in france, press freedom exists contrary to what's happening in iran, and that this is overseen by a judge within the framework of an independent judiciary, which is something that iran knows little about. so they're not only refusing to take any responsibility for the shot me a bdo cartoons, but they're even projecting or throwing the responsibility back on to it wrong. but the iranian government sees things much differently. the foreign affairs ministry now is slamming france for complicity to silence over the cartoons. in other words,

failure to act, to do anything about all of this. and t ron has characterized the cartoons as insulting and offensive not just to the wrong, but to all muslim countries. france has no right to insult the sanctity of other muslim countries and nations under the pretext of freedom of expression thereon is waiting for the french government explanation and compensate reaction and condemning the unacceptable behavior of the french publication. over the weekend, french president, a mandarin mac hall, honored the 17 victims of the attacks by i'll try to inspire gunman on shadley, a dose, paris headquarters back on january 7th, 2015. now that incident was also linked to shut leah dos religious characters, specifically of prophet mohammed, my call has consistently defended shortly abdul caricatures, in general, back in september 2020 during a visit to lebanon. he said, quote,

it's never the place of a president of the republic to pass judgment on the editorial choice of a journalist or a newsroom. never because we have freedom of the press. but apparently, michael doesn't quite feel the same when it comes to free speech that targets him personally. back in 2021, michael sued a french billboard owner the shell alice feel he who had made these huge satirical images of my coin, posted them up there for the world to see, including one depicting mac hall as adolph hitler in the artists protests against mac. holes poet, vaccine mandates and other restrictive mandates related to the pandemic. now mac hall's lawyer jaw, in the she said at the time that the loss it was brought against this person, this billboard owner. because quote of the offensive nature of the comparison of

the president of the republic with adolf hitler. so an insulting depiction of the french president is worthy of vicious legal pursuits to personally punish the person responsible. but when it comes to insulting the leadership of another country, well then free speech absolutely needs to be defended all costs. as for french officials, newfound respect for freedom of the press, again, it seems to be reserved for press they like and not for se r, t or other russian affiliated media, which has been banned by the european union with apparently, france is blessing because they don't seem to be raising the issue at all. so when it comes to both freedom of speech and freedom of the press in france, the government's mileage clearly varies depending on how it squares with their own interests and agenda. we also spoke with science mohammed moran. the dean of the

world studies faculty at the university of toronto, who believes france is guilty of double standards against around while also insulting the nation's culture. french journal was not just trying to insult the iranian leader. it was trying to insult iranian religion and culture and the religion and culture of hundreds of millions of people in west asia and abroad. and for them that's called freedom of speech. but when it comes to iranian voices, west, the west and the french, the french, they sanction all parisian iranian media, all media affiliated to its allies and the french also, i think have media in persian, that encourage riots and violence and iran. so for them, freedom for, for the french side, is very different from freedom for iranians. they have extraordinary that will,

standards can moving the program all. now intense fighting is ongoing. near the key frontline city of our cham of skin don pos with russian troops gaining a foothold, local authority say in the strategically important time of solid are located nearby in while a large explosion has been reported near to malta. kidding, a local industrial area, reports coming in say it's the work of russian or a craft hitting ukrainian positions. local officials say ukrainian forces have shall cities and don boss more than a 100 times over the past 24 hours targeting to power plants in the done yet republic and killing. at least 2 civilians. ortiz from on costa had visited some of the affected areas. we're in the town all for you linelle sky, and this is a major road connecting dentist and maria pull hands. and this particular village

is under constant showing by the ukraine and military. these are the consequences of the latest attack against civilians and civil infrastructure. now this is an automotive store, and this entire building belongs to them. this was a direct strike by a ukrainian hobbit sir, which are now using natal, made weapons that are supplied to them constantly. in this particular instance, 155 millimeter caliber weapon was used lithonian. you look it up naming, it's not a one time thing. this area is constantly suffering if we were the 1st time, then there would be some impressions. you constantly look at it at the destroyed houses there at the people who died them. i can't describe. the wires are broken here. that's a shame. this building was beautiful once upon a time, they wanted to make a hotel out of this building, but 2014 came and everything changed. now earlier on sunday morning to thermal power plants were struck. one of them in the startled basheba just serv. few

kilometers away from jeanette. there was some damage to the power planet cell. however, it is still functioning as the moments, according to local officials, there were at least 6 mouthful launch. rockets produced by the united states called the high mars, used against that's a power plant. now there were 2 people there wounded as well. now the other power plant is here is aggress. it's behind me. now. in this case, ukraine used an old soviet tosca rocket, which is capable of carrying a nuclear ammunition. this spot where i'm standing right now. right behind me is a so called a children's beach here. back in august of 201430 people were killed by ukrainian multiple launch raucous systems and among those people who were killed to work 3 children,

of course to local people. this latest ukrainian strike was very a reminiscence of the tragic events back in august of 2014 and many say that. so this is where they actually felt the beginning of this aggression by the ukrainian military on sunday, one person was wounded as the result of their indiscriminate attacks on this free several houses were destroyed by the multiple launch rockets, systems grad. this fragment of a show can not be extracted at the moment. now the house behind me. luckily, the residents have left a long time ago. however, there are several families on the streets who recall what happened on sunday. anybody had no issue we were, i was here during the attach, it was really awful sitting and wondering whether it would strike here. look at a neighbor's garage was hit and half his house was destroyed. it. it's been really difficult for him. but i just thought you, but it ideally should the of see these fragments all impacted here at different

times. starting with the soviet mortars in 2014. and these are already new nato, a 155 millimeter shelves. these look quite checked shows that we examined everything, how they flew here, and what destruction they caused. we those who survive, you have examined this all. many times you re considers himself lucky to be alive at his house was a shelled several times over all these years. but his property is being damaged time and again, he's just one of her thousands of people here in dunn boss who suffered as the results of ukrainian artillery shelling. of course, the locals hope that all ukrainian war crimes will find that he faced justice from on coffer of r t. the nest republic careless turn attention now to the middle east where israel's new national security minister house, given an order for palestinian flags hanging in public places to be taken done,

claiming the glorified tourism. it is inconceivable that lawbreakers will waive terror flags, incite and encourage terrorism. i have issued instructions for the removal of the flags which support terrorism from the public space and to stop incitement against the state of israel. freedom of expression does not extend to identify with the terrorist and those who want to harm idea of soldiers. additionally, israel al suspended a travel pass for the palestinian foreign minister which allowed him freedom of movement in the west. that came in response to palestine efforts to involve the united nations court of justice to moderate that decades long conflict assistant minister for multilateral affairs in palestine. amar had josie told r t that his people continue to speak out for their freedoms. unfortunately has never been held accountable for any of the violations of international law, including the violation of you on charter and coral norms of international law and

international human rights and human humanitarian law. and this is why it is free and has a free hand to apply all of these kinds of punitive measures against the national and again seeking justice at the international level for the, for the senior people and their, their, their struggle to achieve the right to self determination, or, of course, forgetting that the origins of israel also started with the united nations biosolution, 181, which is the only legal document that attested who the stablish man of the state. so israel is fighting also the, the body that created it in the 1st place. but the palestinian people do not intend to relent in their struggle to fight and to continue pushing forward in seeking the

right to self determination, including at the international level. well that it is, it is struggle on the ground by continuing the steadfastness on the ground or whether it is to resort to international mechanisms which we are entitled to. while on sunday, israel's finance minister assigned a decree to seize nearly $40000000.00 in tax revenue from the palestinian authority, redirecting it to families. it say's are victims of palestinian attacks. not prior to that significantly, that money used to go to the families of those who were killed in clashes with israel. the minister added, he has no interest in keeping alive the palestinian governing body. as long as the palestinian authority encourages terror and is an enemy, i have no interest for it to continue to exist. there is no solace for the families of those murdered, but there is justice and all so on sunday is really police broke up

a rally of palestinian parents who were highlighting their children's education east jerusalem. the force claimed palestinian authorities were connected to the meeting, but that accusation was denied by the organizers. please leave. are issued a statement that the order to hold the meeting are raleigh came directly from israel. national security minister. we got to take an all out from somewhere. synergy, lowie, chairman of a non profit organization bringing attention to palestinian communities. and they've been been is simply trying to show to the a, the public that is the most stress is the most anti palestinian. a person in the government, this kind of procedures and the decisions that he is trying to issue each day to have no significance influence on the interest on the security interest is or, or the security arrangements for

a disobedience. and he's trying to show myself, he's trying to show that he is the most threat person against, but i think they're gonna send him out. is big in terms of the is there any lo, it has been flying on. every meeting between his the aide is a senior, including meetings between the current and prime minister. years ago, when he was meeting on the palestinian partner in a flag was fine together with playing with sim, bumps up on a seniors. he's trying to launch war against any and you know, the u. k is considering sending a number of challenger tanks to ukraine. the 1st time i western country has indicated it will supply homemade heavy equipment to kiev. since the conflict began

last week, the u. s. and germany said they would provide 50 bradley and 40 martyr armored vehicles of france promised to supply an estimate of 30 amex 10 recognizance vehicles in what appeared to be a coordinated set of notes on berlin, housing, rudo, and deliveries of fits heavy leopard tanks to ukraine. according to the country's economy minister, however, the decision was met with universal approval by anyway in germany with the recent poll showing that the majority of the population does not support such a. we heard from berlin residents who said the supply. busy of such offensive, military equipment will only prolong the complex boys are silent or this is a load of especially since it's coming from a government that claims to be green and to have green values or left wing value center on peace and things are that we make peace with our arms and above,

but instead they try to achieve peace by supplying war machines. and to me, that's a perverted logic. but people who think like this is who think the more weapons help anyone but the arms industry. i don't know what's wrong with their brains and what's happening inside of them. i am all sort of of an industry as we finish going . okay, well, i'm definitely not a fan of the way germany is handling the issue of arms supplies. i know that there is a huge market for us, but i don't like the fact that we are supporting it in such a strong way or does i think that money might simply be more important than the opinion of the people like it is often the case unfortunately, flat out get us. i don't want the government to simply ignore the people who are you and maybe they should give better explanations for their reasoning. but they should also take the opinion of the people in so count, ah, well, we welcome gunner back. a number of the european parliament for the alternative for germany party on to the program. now good to see you. why do you think the west is

increasing supplies, especially of offensive equipment to ukraine? where good evening to you. and thank you 5 by tv. oh, well i my view, there are 2 obvious possible explanations. one would be increasing american pressure of but i think more important reason this is probably a growing conviction, a great belief and the united states that the ukraine could do when. busy this war against russia. so there's a question mark has to want, when would actually mean, i suppose, based west to those would believe would say it means the re conquest by you grade of all the candidates re

currently. busy under the control of the russian federation, all the you formerly ukrainian territory, that's i suppose. what do you think those western countries are the interested in resolving the conflict peacefully or it's not of 2nd importance to the, the main name, the main objective in this well, if by piece you mean a genuine compromise between say, the 2 parties taking into account mutual interests and concerns that are beginning to have serious doubts that the west really is involved in resolving this peacefully. i think as i indicated, the hope is that the conflict could be brought to

a dead by defeating russian troops in ukraine. and that's the very opposite of cold, provis, p cetera. so, in short, if by piece you'll be peaceful resolution, you'll be the comp, provis solution that i'm afraid, i think there seems less interest in that in the west. otherwise, that could really explain the decisions about the western countries to step up their delivery to ukraine. i'm interested to hear your views as well on the french president. his rhetoric has somewhat changed. at 1st, the manual micron at posed a peacemaker, but now he signed off on supplies of heavy armored vehicles to kiev while promising to help ukraine as well.
