now in talking with my maid ongoing riots and rallies in brazil, fixed boots per and company. mets us centers all post with an update president blue list. we take a deeper look at why the west, fully back some protests but not others to run slums from. for a double standards and hypocrisy after the latest charlie abdul covered that picks around supreme leader, sparking angry from test chorus justifies the publication, citing freedom of speech. but also coming up on the program this our, israel's new national security minister, cracked on palestinians,

hanging national flags and public claiming there is a symbol of terrorism with reverie or catching the program from today across the world. welcome to moscow and then use our own r t. i'm, you know, new the former leader of brazil. and yeah, you're bold to nora has been hospitalized in the us state of florida with abdominal pain. it comes that made violent protests in the brazilian capital where his supporters have demanded new presidential elections. baltimore has condemned the violence saying he only supports peaceful demonstrations. protesters have now taken to the streets of sao paulo, blocking roadways this monday. this is video we have received from the country's largest city, several cars where torched by the protesters. while brazil supreme court has suspended the governor of the capital, but still yeah, after cried storm, the presidential palace and other government buildings on sunday.

ah, well, amid the heavy clutches, law enforcement use tear gas and attained $1200.00 involved in the rallies. according to police, at least 70 people were reportedly injured with several in critical condition. president let the silver house declared a state of emergency for the rest of january band has deployed the military to maintain peace in the capitol hill. the protesters are believed to primarily be supporters of the previous leader. ye are bold. sanara lost october's election by a relatively small margin, uncontested. the result he's denied any involvement in the protests and condemned to violence. while current president lula said, authorities are conducting an investigation to route out the perpetrators on the riots been well. joe biden and other western leaders have issued scathing

condemnation of the violent demonstration. i condemned the sultan 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 prison, lieu of the silver. democratically elected by millions of brazilians from fair 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 denouncing protest her on the world, western leaders can be selective to say the least. earlier my colleagues re sushi america, gas, they have talk through washington and europe's approach. let's talk about perspective here. muradi 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 that is, that is the world we live in. so what bought joe biden, ah, the, what joe biden of the instructions for him or what is good for america? what serves american national interest is good. so if, if a protest he's there and potentially could unseat someone that the united states doesn't live like the chairman and he, in china who of the spiritual leader in iran, then there will forward. and they couldn't care less if it is in the country. that

is wedded friendly with the united states, and that is going to cause pain for the united states. but of course that they will never support such a purpose. 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. so sorry, say building that even a military airport. there's no condemnation, but no one elected this guy. no one ever elected him in that. here's another example right here, 2013. what led to these bloody conflict that is currently that is currently happening and you, craig, so, so they're saying that this was an attack on, 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 an elected president is very sick. you're talking about actually, yes, in ukraine. my doug, you had protesters burning police alive. you had people killing each other,

storming state offices, the govern, trying to unseat a president who was elected legitimately who was congratulated by the state, the part and then who was on the state of the stage in my down square. you had victoria newland, anton, or a cane, as you only hear another american politician fighting of the flames in ukraine because it served us national interests, served regime change interest for regime change. in some instances, it is more beneficial to, to change the regime in other instances as a result of that, that keep it in place. and you talk about m protests, demonstrations and you know, if indeed there is some hint of potential regime change there as you well, no more at 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. what precisely,

and you have the state department pollutants resources u. s. at a band now in, in so many leonardo's. yeah. because that is the instruments that they use, the fun opposition to fund radical nationalists, the fund various, a liberal pro western media outlets added to so. so da said you 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. always good to get the take of daniel shaw, professor of latin american and caribbean studies out the city university of new york who joins us live now. hi, danny. so meta, how's block post promoting anti government protest in brazil? should they be doing that? greetings. union. i think your ra prior analysts will correct to point out the

hypocrisy of our meta, of facebook, twitter of social media, which us imperialism has used at times to fuel rebelling weather was in china or iran. i now they've defined what's happening in, in brazil is a violating event. it was a very a bloody confrontation yesterday. these were cool mongers are very reminiscent of january 6th here in the united states. they invaded 3 principal government buildings. um, in brazil, ya are destroying hundreds of $1000000.00 worth of property in the supreme court in the presidential palace plan out to an in the congressional chambers. what's your take on the west reaction to these protests? why, for instance, is the y fi so convinced the protests in venezuela? if we take that country for one are good, but the protests in brazil lower bad?

no question if this was kyocera or venezuela, nicaragua, bolivians, in by way or, or china alo, the u. s. in the full gamut of social media and the mainstream, meaning media would be celebrating and promoting this uprising for right now. no one wants to take responsibility for what happened in brasilia. about 24 hours ago i trump has remained silent. mo sonata himself is condemned. this invasion of brazilian steve been in bright bar is the only news network to this point that is cited with these homeowners for what they will call the united states . the insurrection is. and i think it's important to highlight the display of hypocrisy from the brazilian state from the brazilian military and police who treated these protests of kids gloves. and it's important to ask if this was coming from the left wing. if this was coming from the 150000000, afro resilience,

if this was coming from the marginalized segments of society, how would the militarize police have reacted i yesterday? surely would have been a bloodbath in today. you'd be interviewing me about the casualties and brazilian a but to this point hasn't been one casualty, or there's been 500 a rest. but really the police have treated these protest. susan kid gloves, how do you see their situation unfolding? i think it's going to have a boomerang effect on both scenarios. small, i think the bulls narrow camp is more deeply divided than ever. there's going to be full scale investigations. i think there were more selfies than arms yesterday. i brought in to these 3 government buildings for the upcoming weeks months in the fall, the january 6 emission of u. s. congress is or any precedent for the upcoming years. we're going to see the resilient authorities comb through i every selfie. every instagram post in go after

our many these who mongers who were not, i didn't have a mask over their faces, as we see here, are in the images in the video reels. how much damage that they do? one processor even deprecated in one of the government offices. so i think we're, when i see as a thorough investigation in, in cleansing in more imprisonment of these far right wing, fascist voices. dad, i appreciate your time as always, daniel shaw, presser of latin american and caribbean studies up at city university of new york. thank you, you. ah, la, moving the program on dozens of iranians gathered outside the french embassy in tehran on sunday, protesting against cartoons overrun supreme leader, published by the french satirical magazine, surely upto the crowd set fire to a french flank while chanting death to friends in 2015,

a dozen people were killed when it's the mis open fire in the shop. he had 2 offices in paris, after the magazine published cartoons of the prophet, muhammad iranians say, the latest magazine cover is provocative and disrespectful of the country's culture or to contribute a racial marson gives us now her tick on how the french government has rejected taking any responsibility in the motor instead accusing a relative suppressing free speech already 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 are 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 alyssa does. everyone can, i'm of is a pretty teacher said case for you. the wrong policy is the one followed by iran,

which practices violence against his own populations, which his particularity shall cain. 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 the literal about. so they're not only refusing to take any responsibility for the shot, leah 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 that t ron has characterized the cartoons as insulting and offensive not just to iran, 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. iran is waiting for the french government's explanation and compensate reaction and

condemning the unacceptable behavior of the french publication. over the weekend french president emanuel mac hall honored the 17 victims of the attacks by al qaeda inspired gunman on shortly. ed dose, paris headquarters. back on january 7th, 2015. now that incident was also linked to shockley. and those religious caricatures, specifically of prophet mohammed, my whole, 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. mackerel, sued a french billboard owner michel alice flow. he who had made these huge satirical

images of mac hall and 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 that caused 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 to pitchin 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 is easy,

be reserved for press, they like and not for say, 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. an agenda it seems the western mainstream media has finally spotted new nazis in ukraine and recently published article the new york times claims that russian nationalists on neo nazis have joined volunteer battalions to fight against putin. however, the same mainstream media has repeatedly failed to notice ukrainian new nazis on nationalists in europe with one of the biggest states own spanish news outlets. our t. v. broadcasting footage of ukrainian refugees celebrating christmas in spain

with some very unique decorations. the video shows the flag of the organisation of ukrainian nationalists displayed behind the girl as well as the portraits of nazi collaborators. stepan, bendara, roman shoe here, which they are known for their complicity in the slaughter of tens of thousands of jews and poles during world war 2. the will say, i have somebody say like i saw some who double. but i was a further discuss the topic. let's cross life to journalist on list why it's read, why it's welcome to the program. there seems to be more and more articles footage of ukrainians. this being symbols or references to nazi and far right. movements in western media outlets. is it ignorance or do they not actually care what they're showing? do you think? will you to ask me that question?

at the beginning of this year, i might have believed that it was ignorance that was causing the mainstream needed to overlook this constant. not the imagery that we see from euclidean forces and from ukrainian civilians, west ukrainian civilians. this is obviously hardly the 1st time we've seen open celebrations of nazis and not the collaborators from the regime in from adherents. no footage has been popping up for months now. even among mainstream outlets like cnn, which of accidentally most likely air footage in which people can openly be seen, see highlighting performing that roman salute famously used by the nazis. but by and large western media with the exception, i would say of this new york times piece tends to ignore that. this is happening at all. and when they do, they insist generally that these alarming examples of nazis with high levels of

influence over here regime or some house isolated instances. and they'll say things like, there are not these everywhere. but when you go back and look at the history, i think you, you find that the supposedly marginal, not the groups like right sector and c, 14, you can see the right sector flag, i believe in those images. these are actually the forces that were used as shock troops to carry out the western back made in 2 in 2014. we know now from mainstream western reporting that the c a has been bringing ukrainian nationalists to military bases in the united states to receive special forces training for years now. and if you go even further back, you find that the ca has actually been arming and training a huge number of nazi collaborators since the immediate aftermath of the 2nd world war. and there's even a now to the classified memo, which was forced to really in 2007 under the,

not the war crimes disclosure act in which the agency explained that the purpose is what they were calling project aerodynamic was to provide for the exploitation. and expansion of the soviet ukrainian resistance movement for cold war and hot more purposes. this is of course, not a mistake. this has been the policy of the united states government and the media apparatus that we're using. in fact, all the time. you know, some specified members that are using voice of america to deliver one way for these messages to their assets in ukraine. so not an anomaly. unafraid. and perhaps, as an aside to that, it appears like western governments are making every effort to integrate ukrainian refugees into their satiety regardless of as you say, the history, even if they know who these people are, what could be the repercussions of people with extreme views coming in cut it lead to a surge of far right. movements in europe is not even being thought about well,

that's a great question. certainly not one on the minds of terribly many mainstream media that i read. i did read remarks from the, the head of interval. i believe earlier this summer who expressed some apprehension at the possibility or rather the fact that these massive weapons shipments are now being pumped into what is not only a notorious knew not the highest, but also one of the world's most notorious arms trafficking hubs. this is a region of the world that has long been kind of a black hole or weapons of all types. so obviously the repercussions of arming nationalists to openly say how is we now to openly declare their allegiance to nazi states. we know even the founder of the, as on the tally and andre malesky stated that he believed the purpose of ukraine is to carry out the final crusade against we called the semi lead intervention.

obviously open not the language from a lot of these groups, but unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be simply any, any political will to acknowledge this anymore as of february 24th. all that kinda went out the window. and now anyone who points this out is a russian, this information age. and that seems, yep. why it's always good to have you on the program. thanks for your time, your thoughts? why read journalist, unless live on r t today. thanks. not an internal rob has broken its among republicans in the u. s. congress over a deal which was agreed to ensure a kevin mccarthy was elected as a new speaker of the house of representatives. the full details of the agreement or you had to be made public calvo concerns have been raised over potential cups to military spending. some say that was not discussed during negotiations,

while others, including republican congressman tony gonzalez, say reducing defense spending is about idea. this has a proposed billions of dollars cut to defense, which i think is a horrible idea. when you have aggressive russia and ukraine, you've got a growing threat of china in the pacific. you know, i'm going to visit taiwan here in a couple of weeks. how am i going to look at our allies in the i and say, i need you to increase your defense budget, but yet america is going to decrease ours. indeed, it was a historic 15 rounds of voting. it hasn't taken that long to elect a new speaker, the house since 1859. quite a. busy historic moment now it exposed very big divisions within the republican party. there are very, very different perspectives within the single party that has taken control of the house of representatives. now, at one moment, this intense war of words looked as if it was turning into a physical fight. there's an image that has surfaced of a we had

a situation where republican a mike rogers from alabama was being physically restrained. as he was yelling at nat yates, now, mat yates voted against kevin mccarthy, being the new speaker, i got rather intense. and then we had mat gates voted against kevin mccarthy were ultimately changing his mind. we had mat yates, i got to the point that mat gates was being called a fraud by his own party. this is what was said. nat gates is a fraud. every time he voted against kevin mccarthy, last week he sent out a fundraising email. what he saw last week was a constitutional process diminished by those kinds of political actions. we don't know what they got or didn't get. we haven't seen it. we don't have any idea what promises were made or what gentlemen's handshakes were made. one of the key issues of contention was a proposed cap on funding to ukraine. some in the more conservative and far right wing of the republican party just jumped by. and the idea that more us money should

be flowing into ukraine. they're not happy with the huge amounts of money. united states has been pouring into kia. ah, and it's also important to note that kevin mccarthy now that he has been elected speaker, the house, he still has a big fight ahead of him. i'll be fighting over the rules were debate in the house of representatives and zalinski. the ukrainian leader was the 1st to congratulate cabin mccarthy on social media and graduate him on becoming speaker. the house of representatives bought the twitter exchange didn't go the way many were expecting. and here's how things went down. lens lensky chimed in to congratulate kevin mccarthy. you have got to be joking. you pathetic little welfare queen. so now you got your boy kevin, and your little hands are out begging for our money again. you discussed me. zalinski is excited that his unlimited h. e. m is back up and running. no one wants to give you money any more, go away. so as you can see,

this is not exactly the image that biden in his administration of tried to present a for i to present. united states is all in favor, all and supported for more and more money and weapons. and to key of i, however, of the details, i don't seem to match that public opinion polls show that americans are more concerned about problems here at home than they are about the situation in eastern europe. it's also important to note that kevin mccarthy, while he may now have the speakership, is probably going to have a tough year ahead of them. 2023 is a year in which there's not only going to be intense division between democrats and republicans. but now we see pretty blatantly there will be intense divisions between republicans and other republicans. let's turn attention to the mideast where israel's new national security minister has given an order for palestinian flags hanging in public places to be taken down him, claiming the glorified termism. it is inconceivable that lawbreakers will waive

terror flags in sight, encouraged terrorism. i have issued instructions for the removal of the flags which support terrorism from the public space into 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. well, here's what supporters all peloton had to say, but mr. ben, give years order. daniela's death. the step in decision to remove palestinian flags from public places or to criminalize their display is not surprising from a fascist government that is taking off in israeli society. and somehow this government always tries to cancel the other from a racist view and a zionist view. mother, we are accustomed to the oppression of the occupation with regard to the palestinian people, but we did not expect anything less from these steps because ben veer's approach is clear. abolition of everything that is palestinian and restrictions on us while he is coming with a clear approach to the world that he is against everything related to the

palestinian identity in jerusalem and in all of palestine bin. yeah, the hood all she's come. this decision is the height of racism and israeli extremism, and contradicts all international laws in the world. first, it forbids raising the palestinian flag in the city of jerusalem. but the city of jerusalem is the capital of the palestinian state. also the city of jerusalem is an occupied city according to you and resolution $42.00, which means that it is not recognized as the capital of israel. so this is against international laws. i would add to that that every citizen has the right to raise his flag wherever he is. the us flag is raised in jordan, and that is raised in france in italy as well as the french flag. any frenchman raises it in any country he is in. there are no international laws that prevent a person for raising the flag of his country, which he cherishes. additionally, israel hel, suspended, a travel pass for the palestinian foreign minister which allowed him freedom of

movement in the westland. that came in response to palestine efforts to involve the united nations court of justice to moderate the decades long conflict assistant minister for multilateral affairs in palestine. amar had giles, he told r t, that his people will continue to speak out for their friends. unfortunately, it has never been an accountable for any of the violations of international law, including the violation of the un charter and coordinate of international law and international human rights and human humanitarian law. and this is why isn't it seems free and has a free hand to, to apply all of these kinds of punitive measures against the international against seeking justice. i've been to national level or seen and people and the struggle to achieve the right.
